Hi All, I created new SVM with root volume and data volumes with UNIX security style. While creating the volumes, the requirement was limited to NFS access only. Now the new requirement requires CIFS access too. I have a volume lets say volume_nfs, under that there is a qtree lets say volume_nfs_qtree. Security style for both volume and qtree is UNIX. There are no other file or folder under volume volume_nfs except volume_nfs_qtree. Currently only NFS export is configured on this volume. Now I am thinking to change security style of qtree volume_nfs_qtree to mixed from UNIX and I will keep security style of volume volume_nfs unchanged. Is that a right approach? I am worried what if it changes file permissions and application starts seeing issues with the file access. Please advice on this. Thanks, PK

HI. I want to document how to upgrade my appliances. I have an AFF220 and FAS2750. Both are at ONTAP 9.9.1. I would like to use the Simulate ONTAP virtual appliances to test and document the upgrade to 9.14.1 using the ONTAP manager. When I try to upload the upgrade packages I get an error saying "Internal Error: There is not sufficient space in the file upload directory to upload this file. Contact technical support for assistance." This technote does not help as the resize fails: https://kb.netapp.com/on-prem/ontap/DM/System_Manager/SM-KBs/System_Manager_fails_to_upload_ONTAP_image_due_to_insufficient_space Command used to try to resize: system services web file-uploads config modify -node * -size 7GB Any help?

we are currently using Rubrik CDM and snapdiff for NAS backups. according to NetApp, the snapdiff will not be supported after version 8.17. Rubrik is pushing us to a different backup solution of NAS cloud direct for NAS backups, but this is a duplicated investment and a lot of data movement. does anyone have more details about NetApp snapdiff support? looks if we lost snapdiff, the NAS backup on Rubrik CDM will still work, but on some shares which have multi millions files, the indexing and metascan will take hours to complete, it is causing user access issue to the shares. Please share the information or workaround if you have. thanks in advance
