We are on ONTAP version 9.14.1P8, after we enabled the anti-ransomware on CIFS volumes, we started receiving suspected long  file list every day, we know they should be non-ransomware related. My questions is how we can safely determine they can be skipped. Are there any generic rules or utilities we can use for this purpose?   Otherwise nobody wants to set the files as false positive.  Please share your experience if any. thanks in advance ! ...

Apologies if I get the terminology all wrong. I've got two netapp filers configured as a cluster. It's ancient hardware, I migrated most of the servers hosted on there in Azure so we didn't bother renewing the support contract. One of the disks died a while ago but we had a spare which kicked in. And it ran without redundancy. As luck would have it, just before the migration project was finished another disk died and that bought down everything. I'm assuming the disk dying bought it down, and that no other hardware has failed. I would have thought the 2nd cluster would have taken over but it didn't. The status on the node says; The takeover cannot be initiated because the storage failover is disabled.     I'm guessing that because the disk died in the 1st node, that bought it down. So I thought if I replaced the disk then assigned it to the downed node it would come into life. However, I can only assign the unsigned disk to the node it can see. I can't get to node 1 at all So, I think my only option is to try and force the failover mode to the 2nd node in the cluster. FASCLUS1::> cf status Takeover Node Partner Possible State Description -------------- -------------- -------- ------------------------------------- FASCLUS1-01 ARBFASCLUS1-02 - Unknown FASCLUS1-02 ARBFASCLUS1-01 false Waiting for FASCLUS1-01, Takeover is not possible: Partner node halted after disabling takeover I think my only option would be to run cf forcetakeover from 02 node.   Is this a good idea? Anything else I can try? ... View more
