Hi All, Currently building out an AFF-A150 for a tech refresh while following some documentation my predecessor left me regarding his last build out of the AFF-A220 we will be replacing. Our use case is pretty small, only acting as an NFS datastore for one vCenter and only using 12/24 bays on the internal shelf of the A150. We only use one aggregate, one volume, one SVM. Prior to creating his aggregate he assigned all data1 and data2 partitions to one of the two nodes, and left the root partitions where they were at. I find that I am unable to complete this step as apparently the CLI command for it went away post 9.9.1. What would be the reason you would want both all data partitions to be owned by one of the nodes? If the disk had it's data1 partition owned by node1, and data2 partition owned by node2, when that disk is assigned to an aggregate which is in turn owned by a specific node, would it only have use of one of its two data partitions? Either way, from what I can tell I can no longer manually assigned partitions to specific nodes. Just trying to determine the best way to configure my aggregate to get the most space out of it, while also incorporating spares obviously. If this answer is somewhat obvious I apologize, still relatively new to ONTAP and storage in general. TIA

Hi, I am also running into issues writing to any of the 12 NVME drives in a H610s. The symptom is that the operating system can read from the drives but not write to them. So can't create VMFS datastores, for example. Could it be that the disk controller is refusing writes due to un-flushed cache or something like that? I checked all the BIOS settings, there does not seem to be a menu item or way to access the disk controller. I have tried Ubuntu, it sees the NVME drives but can't modify the partition table. ESXi gives an error "failed to create VMFS datastore, cannot change the host configuration". Any help or ideas appreciated - thanks!

Hi, my customer is asking if he can connect a FAS2820A with mezzanine X1166A using AOC (length 10m). Anyone has some experience with such configuration ? Many thanks Luca
