ISSUE: how do I add a description for each Initiator assuming first two Initiators are for host-n1, next 2 are host-n2 since each initiator has two hba controllers. Also from the WEB UI it shows connection status how can I from the CLI show the Initiators Connection status.

Hello All, I think I have just been looking at this too long and it is an easy answer, but I have an aggregate that has 5954GB physical used and a volume in that aggregate that has 7903GB physical used. How is the physical volume larger than the aggregate? I have looked at all the efficiencies and they add up independently, I just can't make the math above work. If anyone can point me in the right direction to see how this is possible I would be very grateful. I can provide more output if needed. Thanks!

I need to update to later version of ONTAP and after looking at a few YouTube videos they all recommend using ActiveIQ to produce an update plan. When I log into ActiveIQ I don't see our organisation and when I try and add the serials from the nodes it says they're invalid. Last year the organisation I work for moved support from NetApp to a 3rd party support provider, is it possible to use ActiveIQ without a current support agreement with NetApp? Are there any other good resources to help me plan the upgrade if I can't use ActiveIQ, I want a good plan as I haven't carried out an upgrade before. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I have seen many articles in the forum about Fas2552 7-mode upgrade to c-mode. But many kilobytes seem to be inaccessible. It appears that Fas2552 cannot be upgraded directly from 7-MODE to C-mode. There seems to be only one way to reformat. Do you have the corresponding documents? And right now I have two FAS2552 Snapmirrors. I also need to consider the 7-mode and c-mode license issues
