Hello. We have various NetApp Storages at three sites. Models AFF-C250s and FAS2720 as well. Now, the question has come up to provide improvements, enhancements and some real value out of them. The frames are all working fine. Any suggestions, what and where to look at to provide some real unique value, and how then it will solve customer problems. Where to start etc. Anything basic improvements we can do and then show quickly, to start with. Thanks

We are using a 4 node Metrocluster FC config with Synchronous Mirror. If we are not mistaken, this means that the active data from the primary side is replicated to the secondary(dormant) side on the fly. On the secondary side, we are able to see the SVM-mcs and Volume-mcs, but the volumes does not show any used size information or anything like that... basically no data is available about how much data is really here!? How much capacity is being taken? When the capacity of the aggregate is checked for used space it only shows the amount of data that is stored in the live/active volumes and does not show any data present in the Volumes-mc. Is the data replicated to the secondary side of the Metrocluster really there? If so, then why and how is it not considered when querying for used space of a given aggregate? In case the mirrored data is not calculated in the used capacity of the aggregate, does that imply that neither sides of the Metrocluster should contain over 45% of used capacity, otherwise in case of a switchover the used capacity would be over 90% or even above 100%, leaving the up-side of the switchover disfunctional? Thanks for any efforts spared for answering!

Hi there. I would like to install NetApp NAS VAAI Plugin 2.0.1 via Lifecycle Manager on VMWARE 8.0 Update 3, but I have some problems. I found some material saying that in version 7.0 it might not be compatible, but in version 8.0 it is compatible and there is even documentation explaining it. https://kb.netapp.com/on-prem/ontap/DM/VAAI/VAAI-KBs/How_to_add_the_NetApp_NFS_Plug-in_VAAI_to_Vmware_Lifecycle_Manager_images I tried to do following this documentation, but I have this error: Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

Hello, sadly, I fail to get any information of the purpose of a SVM-KEK. Is there any (official) information when and why a SVM-KEK is useful? What excatly does the SVM-KEK do? Tried to google it, but could only find depreacted information on this topic: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-cli-96/security-key-manager-key-show.html Thank you in advance.
