We have an issue with one of our Volumes in which we are running out of nodes for DFS to function propperly (Dev team modified their application and it is generating a ton more files than before). This is the example path we have: Volume/Share location: \\company.com\Share1 DFS Location: \\Share Within Share1 we have: FolderA FolderB I would like to move FolderB to \\company.com\Share2 while retaining the same DFS Path of \\Share so that users are not disrupted. Is it possible to modify the DFS path of the individual directories of the share? or is this only possible when moving the entire Share.

Hello, we recently got old NetApp DS4246 with IOM6 controller. I found IP address but it is asking for username and password. Does anybody know default username and password or how to reset it? Also, if anybody has System Manager 3.x software? I asked NetApp support but it was not helpful, they just said system manager is obsolete and not available for download anymore. Thank you very much

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
