What are you saying? If you have a 4 node cluster you will two HA pairs in active/active. If you need help setting up cDOT, and you probably do, as I gather from your question, you need to require professional assistance because if done wrong it will not work properly.

You can run AWA to see if flashpool will help. Also, what type of controllers do you have and do you have flashcache in them? I assume you are serving NFS from cDOT, if so, you need to review the nfs latency r/w to the exported vol.

Are you using qtree snapmirror for vmware? - You shouldn't use qtrees with vmware... Also, I would suggest doing to another volume and used volume based

^^ It appears you have thin provisioned volumes as to why you have 21TB's free Also, Dedupe does give back to aggregate if your vols are thin provisioned. If thick provisioned, the vol is already carved out of aggregate. If you're new to Netapp, make sure you understand how you going to manage your over-provisioning the aggregate because once people start writing blocks and reach a point where there is no more disk, all the VOLS will go offline. Also, not sure if your root vol is on separate aggregate as well

I can only speak for my 7-mode experience we turn flowcontrol off in the rc file at the physical interface level For 10g, it's recommended to set flowcontrol to none (example) ifconfig e0a flowcontrol none

I would recommend that you contact netapp support if you don't have any Netapp experience. When you say you have shares that are both accessed via from windows/unix, what are your qtrees. type qtree at the command prompt I would highly recommend you upgrade to the latest 8.2.3P1, but there are certain factors that you need to take into account. You must get an upgrade advisor from netapp.

If the relationship is throttled, you need to wait until it completes to take the new effect. If you set the global flag, options replication - than you can jus turn that off I tend to always set global setting, allows for more flexibility

You can do this with powershell to the filer, or like others have mentioned, protection manager ,local backups only seems like a good fit for you

Is the snapvault managed out of protection manager because if so, it's a nightmare..... If not, you should be able to use the snapvault modify -S and then you can do snapvault status -c (to check it ) snapvault start -r -S

^^ I couldn't disagree with you more on this. I've managed environments from 200+ filers and up and we manage via snapmirror.conf file and local snapvault files. I've only recently managed snapvault, (only vault portion), the mirror is still managed via .conf files. But i've also written custom front ends to handle this fan out management via the .conf file with extensive powershell scripting via the API's. Here's a case in point, if you lose your OCUM centrally manged server to a patch, and you aren't prepared for a failover, non of your managed jobs run. The only thing, we currently use ocum for from a mirror perspective is alerting on the datasets. I will take fan out, conf file management any day. But you need to have the proper controls in place. If you are talking about a mom and pop shop with a small number of filers, go for it.
