Hi all, A customer has an AF200 system wich is near of end of support and we are evaluating if we can maintain this system by ourselves. The most complicated situation I see is if one of the controllers fails and we have to replace it. As I know without support we can't generate replacement licenses if we buy a refurbished controller but what about if that controller comes with its licenses, ¿It could work? Thanks in advance

Hi,
I may have posted this question in the wrong forum, so apologies if you see a double.
I had a raid group with 11 900gb drives, and i've added 5 600gb drives by mistake. Is there any way to replace those 600 gb drives with 900gb. I have plenty of spares. Both parity disks are 900gb disks. I've tried replacing but the new 900gb disk became 600gb. Will it regain the free space if i replace the reset of the 600gb disks? If this is not possible is there any free space loss, i think overtime performance will suffer after the 600gb disks run out of space? Thank you.

Hi I have a Netapp FAS2240 device. It has version 8.2.5 7-Mode. I can't activate my existing licenses after a device reset. My support period has expired and I need to revert to the previous version before I can install the 7-character licenses I have. I need the 8.1.xx 7-mode netboot image to restore it. where can I download it. Can you help with the subject.

Hello I have a device that belongs to ONTAP 8.2.5. I can't activate my existing licenses after a device reset. The source of my problem is that I have a 7-character license. But my device's version supports it based on 28 characters. My current licenses are due to the fact that they are compatible with the old version. Error alert I'm encountering hostname> license add XXXXXXX license add: invalid license key "XXXXXXX", license keys must be 28 or 42 letters in length. I get a warning in the form of. Does anyone have the 8.0 / 8.1. 7-Mode firmware file for Netapp FAS-2240? If you have it, can you share it with me. Thank you very much in advance for your support and suggestions.

I would like to ask whether this mixed stack refers to: one shelf has HDD and SSD, or one shelf has HDD and the other shelf has SSD connected to the controller. I have a shelf with SAS hard disks and SSDS, and I need to increase space to add a new shelf. Using NL-SAS hard disks, I can directly pull out the SAS cable of the shelf with SAS hard disks and SSDS, connect it to the new shelf and access the original loop. You still need to add a new loop to connect to the newly added shelf
