We have an FAS 8200 HA Multi-Path system. It is connected to four disk shelves (two DS212 and two DS460c) via 12Gb SAS. It has four 10Gb connections to our data network(two LACP pairs). I'm trying to get an idea of the baseline write speed from a single Windows or Linux user to a single volume that is shared via CIFs or NFS. Currently, the max write speeds I have been able to achieve are around 3Gbps, while max read speed values have been as high as 6.5 -7 Gbps. I just want to make sure I'm not expecting the system to do something it isn't capable of, so does anyone know: is it possible to achieve at or near 10Gbps write speed to such a system over a CIFs or NFS network share?

Hi, We have two FAS 2720 with FlashPool in production configured as follows: FAS 2720: 4SSD 960GB + 10HDD 4TB 3 x DS212C 12HDD 4TB We need to increase the available space and I have to decide whether to purchase: FAS 2820 with the same disk configuration FAS 2820 with the same disk configuration but 4 x DS212C 12HDD 4TB FAS 2820 with 4SSD + 10HDD 10TB and 4 x DS212C 12HDD 10TB We use these FAS via NFSv3 to store our customers' emails (Maildir format, so many small files accessed little but with metadata read very frequently). With the current configuration, just one of these FAS easily reaches over 22,000 IOPS (data taken from the System Manager Dashboard). The doubt is: if I buy the configuration with 10TB disks and an additional drawer (which costs double compared to the current configuration) will I be able to at least double the IOPS and the occupied space to recover the investment? if I buy the configuration with 4 Disk Shelves will I have more space but will I not risk having too many disks (58 4TB HDDs) in a RAID Group with RAID-DP? With our NetApp sales representative we tried to do some simulations from Fusion of how many IOPS I could reach but according to Fusion the current configuration could not already do the IOPS that it is actually doing. Can you give me some advice? I would like to send the order soon. Thanks

good day comunity i need to upgrade the firmware version of a Netapp Storage and i am trying to check the release notes of the all path on 9.14.1 version, but i cant find any document with this information of all path of this family... the only that i can find is the rele note of the version 9.14.1 and not the information of the patch: What's new in ONTAP 9.14.1 any way to check the release note of each patch of 9.14.1 verson? Thanks in Advance Community!!!!

Are these the best course for folks new to NetApp with C190 to install, configure and administer? Are there any other courses anyone would suggest?

Running a FAS250 SAN connected to a VMWare enviornment. My volumes are thick provisioned and are showing 0 bytes of available space. I am not using snapshots however dedupe is enabled on the volumes. To try and see if i can reclaim space, i was going to uncheck background deduplication on each volume. Any thoughts surrounding this? If I uncheck this will it impact the volumes in a negative way?
These are all in production and cant afford to make any mistakes.
