hello to all. ı created a demo environment in my lab with 2 netapp and 2 vmware hosts, the hosts are ISCSI connected to the netapp devices.And created a mediator in 3rd location , and tried to evaluate the disaster scenarios for Netapp Business Continuity. basic tests are OK, but when it comes to a hard one, the system is stuck (or i am stuck 🙂 ) test is as, the mediator had been down, and after that ,the source netapp is down. while this happens ,the vms go down, and ISCS luns are deatteched from the ESXi hosts. In recovery scenarios, it says unmap luns ,delete ConsistecnyGroup and delete Snapmirror relationship ,but i cannot do any of them ,since both the mediator and source netapp is down. And i cannot power on the vms. what must i do ??, i tried to get in diag mode, and used some commands with -force parameter but didn worked

Hello all - I'm starting out scripting on some Windows Servers that have connected LUNs, and when trying to use Get-NcHostDisk, I get this error: Get-NcHostDisk : Could not load file or assembly 'System.Security.Principal.Windows, Version=4.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Is there a .NET Framework (or some other) requirement that I'm missing? I can't find any dependency info on what it may be looking for. This is running on Windows Server 2022, and I've tested with the two latest versions of the netapp.ONTAP module (9.16.1.2501 and 9.17.1.2509). Commands such as Get-NcVol work fine so I know I'm connected.

Good day all. I need to pick your brains for a second. Import-Module DataONTAP $StorageIP = "10.10.1.40" $user = "Power" Connect-NcController $StorageIP -Credential $user -ontapi Invoke-NcSsh -Command 'set -confirmations off' When running those in Powershell ISE, it works fine, but when running this in regular Powershell window, i get the "Invoke-NcSsh : Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" I have already checked a couple things Running this from a server 2022, got the latest ontap module 9.17, running against a 9.12 SAN. i have putty installed. Putty path is in the $env:path . Both instances of ISE and Powershell are run using regular user (not as admin)... Putty registry keys are present, etc.. When i type get-module, the only difference between both is the ISE module that is present in the ISE window. Have you ever experienced this? I have included a screenshot of both screens so you can see the results. Obviously that is not all the script does, but it is stuck there atm.

I’ve noticed that NetApp ONTAP’s ADPv2 (root-data-data partitioning) is only supported on SSDs (AFF systems), but not on HDD-based FAS systems. Does anyone know the technical reasons behind this limitation? Are there any official documents or references that explain why ADPv2 cannot be applied to HDDs?
