I am not sure if this is the correct forum, but I did see other posts about NetApp volumes here. Please advise of the correct forum if needed. On the Google Cloud Platform, I deployed a STANDARD service level 2048gb NetApp storagepool in uscentral1. Then I created a 100gb volume also in uscentral1. I have a question about this volume's performance. When I use the FIND command to traverse through a directory, the performance is noticeably slower on the Netapp volume versus the same data on the local drive. At first I was thinking I needed to increase my throughput performance by increasing my service level or making the volume bigger(which increases throughput performance). But after thinking about it, my FIND command is not moving data, it's just traversing through the directory. So it seems this is not a throughput issue? Does anyone have insight as to the performance issue here: root@server1:~# time find /data_local/cache/4c71-4cb6-bd50-d80aa7/ -type f | wc -l 4995 real 0m0.119s user 0m0.058s sys 0m0.059s root@server1:~# time find /data_NetappVol/cache/4c71-4cb6-bd50-d80aa7/ -type f | wc -l 4995 real 0m3.968s user 0m0.078s sys 0m0.219s

Hi All, Refer "Once root volume encryption begins, it must complete. You cannot pause the operation. Once encryption is complete, you cannot assign a new key to the root volume and you cannot perform a secure-purge operation''. is only root volume cannot secure-purge operation or all volume in cluster cannot secure-purge operation? Best regards

My boss is requesting a report across all our attached storage for files larger than 4gb. Including the complete path to the files. I know that ONTAP allows you to see File System information for individual volumes. Is there a report that I can generate from within Netapp that will allow me to generate cluster-wide file information?

Pardon my naivete, I"ve not used NetApp much. I've inherited an old FAS8040 running OnTap 8.2.4. It's out of support and the only thing I need to do is securely erase the disks prior to system disposal. So I want to run disk sanitize. To do that (as I understand it) I have to delete the aggregates and make all the disks spares. So to do that I need to delete the volumes. There were 481 and I was able to delete all but 53 of them. They give this error:
dco-prod-netapp::*> volume delete -vserver es-prod-netapp-vs2 -volume urcdev_data_a_vol
Error: command failed: Volume urcdev_data_a_vol in Vserver es-prod-netapp-vs2 must be offline to be deleted.

Error: command failed: [Job 39372] Job failed: Failed to delete junction from volume rootvol_esprd_vs2 on Vserver es-prod-netapp-vs2. Reason: The volume or plex is offline.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hello all, Strangely autosupports stopped being generated for this system. The autosupport folder for every autosupport is not being created. I can see on the EMS logs the following: <asup_general_drop_1 sequence="146555" trigger="callhome.performance.data" detail="AutoSupport event time (2022-10-03 03:00:03) is older than the maximum age threshold (86400 seconds) from the current time (2022-10-04 03:00:11)" parameters="subject="PERFORMANCE DATA", "/> Has anyone seen this? Apparently the process is being held in the autosupport queue until it is dropped because of this age threshold. Regards, Pedro
