Hi everyone, I’m running an AFF A250 system, and recently, one of the SSDs failed unexpectedly. The system flagged it as failed, but there were no prior warning signs in the logs. Other drives in the same aggregate seem fine, and performance hasn’t been impacted yet. I’ve checked for any firmware updates and ran a basic health check, but I’m wondering what else I should look into. Could this be an isolated hardware failure, or is there a chance something like high write cycles or a controller issue might be contributing? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have managed to get myself a FAS2552 but it gives a boot error: This platform is not supported in this release on both controllers. Running current Firmware Version: 2.8P1. So, I need to update the version of the SP to SP 2.11, but i cannot download it anymore on the Netapp support site. This one gives me an error: https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/downloads/firmware/system-firmware-diagnostics/download/SYSTEM/30803994_sp/SP_FW_308-03994_2.11.tgz Thank you!

Hello, New to netapp! 🙂 I have managed to get myself a FAS2552 but it gives a boot error: This platform is not supported in this release. I tried several Ontap versions (netboot) but it's al the same error. Already ordered a new Micron eusb disk (usb 2.0) just i case, but i also see the Bios/BSD Bootloader are very old. Can someone point me out where i can find the firmware update files, because it not on support.netapp.com. I guess because it "End of Life", or can someone maybe send me the files? Thanks in advance.

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

Hi, I have a FAS2750 with DS2246 shelves. We had a disk fail the other day and i`ve purchased some 2nd hand disks from a reputable reseller. I`ve contacted NetApps but they no longer stock the disks for this system. When i plug the disks in i get a bad label message and the disk doesn`t show as a spare. If i run these commands will it solve this issue? set -privilege advanced storage disk unfail -s 1.1.7 storage aggr status -s storage disk zerospares -owner node-1-cluster-1-gb-cam-1 I`ve never done this before so don`t want to wipe the rest of the disks. Many thanks
