Dear Community, We would like to set up a separate role for our trainees on our cluster. This role should - Enable read-only access to the entire cluster - Complete access to a dedicated Test_SVM that is available for training purposes It is often said, that this is not possible for a specific SVM, but there is even a KB article that can serve as a basis for this ("How to set up and configure RBAC in ONTAP to limit administrator access to specific volumes or SVMs" From <https://kb.netapp.com/on-prem/ontap/Ontap_OS/OS-KBs/How_to_set_up_and_configure_RBAC_in_ONTAP_to_limit_administrator_access_to_specific_volumes_or_SVMs#>) The problem with this, however, is that when creating the role for ’-cmddirname DEFAULT -access readonly’ for the special Test_SVM “readonly” is not possible, but “none” is always suggested: FASxxxxx::> security login role create role -role Restricted_Azubi_Role -cmddirname DEFAULT -access readonly -query ‘’ -vserver SVM_TESTxxxxx Error: command failed: The only valid value for access is ‘none’ for a Vserver role when the specified command directory is ‘DEFAULT’ FAS27501::> What am I doing wrong? Any ideas? Many thanks and best regards Michael

Hello, I’m seeking some clarification on the disk show command in NetApp ONTAP, specifically regarding the difference between physical and usable disk sizes across different NetApp models. I’ve observed that on AFF (All Flash FAS) models, the physical-size and usable-size values for disks are the same. However, on FAS (Fabric-Attached Storage) models, these values are different. Here are the details from the disk show command for both types of models: AFF Model netapp-c1::> disk show -fields physical-size,usable-size disk physical-size usable-size ------ ------------- ----------- 1.0.0 1.75TB 1.75TB 1.0.1 1.75TB 1.75TB 1.0.2 1.75TB 1.75TB 1.0.3 1.75TB 1.75TB 1.0.4 1.75TB 1.75TB 1.0.19 1.75TB 1.75TB 1.0.20 1.75TB 1.75TB 1.0.21 1.75TB 1.75TB 1.0.22 1.75TB 1.75TB 1.0.23 1.75TB 1.75TB 10 entries were displayed. FAS Model OnTapMulti::> disk show -fields physical-size,usable-size disk physical-size usable-size -------- ------------- ----------- NET-1.1 2.00TB 1.97TB NET-1.2 68.00GB 66.93GB NET-1.3 1023GB 1023GB NET-1.4 1023GB 1023GB NET-1.5 1023GB 1023GB NET-1.6 1023GB 1023GB NET-1.7 8.00GB 7.99GB NET-1.8 8.00GB 7.99GB NET-1.9 8.00GB 7.99GB NET-1.10 8.00GB 7.99GB 10 entries were displayed. Why are the physical-size and usable-size values the same for AFF model disks but different for FAS model disks? Thank You !

Hello! ONTAP Select docs (https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-select/concept_nw_vsphere_vswitch_config.html) states that for a deployment of a 2-node OTS cluster in 25GbE 2-port hosts.. we should use active-active NIC teaming: But also, there's a table describing active/standby teaming: So, I guess we should use active/standby and the above picture is wrong (active-active should be replaced by active-standy). Does it make sense? Kind regards, Pedro

We have five applications, each on its own datastore and SRM protection group. Do you need to create five separate SVMs for the five applications, or is one enough? What does NetApp recommend?
