Hi,    We have HA Controllers/Node model: FAS2552 with one DS2246 with SAS HDDs; we are adding two new shelves model: DS2246 with total of 24 SSD. Should we create two new Aggregates (11 disk each + spare) in order to distribute the loads on two controllers (Active/Active). Is it possible to create one aggregates to include all disks while I still can have Active/Active? I saw some discussion about ADP which may include all 22 disks + spares and sharing two Aggregates by partitioning. However, I can't find the procedures to do that.    Thanks Aldous ... View more

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 ...

Greetings NetApp Community,   I'm working on a MetroCluster setup with two (NetApp AFF A220) across two sites (3KM distance). We'll utilize a 100Gb DWDM link. However, our ONTAP version (v13.1) doesn't seem to support NetApp CN1610 switches. I've reviewed the compatibility list (https://mysupport.netapp.com/info/communications/ECMLP2859128.html) and see mostly Nexus switches listed. We have a Cisco Nexus N9K-C93180YC-EX available. Would this be a suitable cluster interconnect even if it's not explicitly listed? Any guidance on best switch options would be greatly appreciated. ... View more
