Based on this feedback, the text in the pulldown combo box has been clarified (hopefully). Select listed version or enter another https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/products/all/details/ontap9/downloads-tab

If you'd like to address the root aggregate issues, please open a case and reference the bug. We allow RAID-DP for partitioned root aggregates with 8TB+ disks, but RAID-TEC is mandatory for data aggregates w/ 8TB+ disks.

Did the message looks like this? Unable to create root aggregate: 5 disks specified, but at least 7 disks are required for raid_tec This has the same symptoms as Bug 948840 - System initialization fails to create root aggregate in certain configurations https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/bugs-online/product/ONTAP/BURT/948840 But if you're really on ONTAP 9.7P6, it should have been fixed. In any case, there is a workaround, but you will need to contact Technical Support by opening a case and they will take you through it. I do recommend you do this... using 7TB x 2 for the root aggregates is a tremendous waste of space!

Just to dispel any doubt, the "A" and "B" module positions are indicated by a label right in the middle section between the module and PSU slots.

I'm not sure what could be done to improve clarity. After all, the pulldown box does say "Type/Select Version".

andris · ‎2020-08-11

It is "working as designed". If you are looking for a specific version, you just type it in. The support site redesign tries to avoid long dropdown lists - it limits the list to recommended releases.

Since the Tx and Rx power values are the same (+0.5 dBm), there really isn't a minimum.

Yes, it's possible. Contact your NetApp sales representative for ordering details.

@xGeox : Conversion is normally not permitted, unless there was a technical issue (or bug) that has changed the personality. Open a technical support case to investigate the issue and come up with a mitigation.

andris · ‎2020-07-08

I suggest you use the built-in Support/Feedback feature in the tool to create a ticket with your issue.

No.

Since neither IBM nor NetApp support the product anymore (for several years now...), your only recourse is to find the original paper copies of the licenses.

The firmware and disk labels installed on the drive are a custom NetApp version. You would not have this on an "off the shelf" drive.

andris · ‎2020-06-24

You appear to have purchased a non-NetApp disk drive. ONTAP will not use it.

Maybe you need to remove that Diffie-Hellman (DH) key... There is a KB article on this option, but it hasn't been migrated to the new KB system, yet. This is some relevant parts: When high_security.enable is set to ON: SSH: Will stop advertising weaker ciphers, KEX and MAC algorithms – These MACs will not be advertised: all hmac-md5 series, hmac-ripemd series, umac series and kex: diffie-hellman-group1-sha1, curve25519 SSL: ssl.v2.enable and ssl.v3.enable will be disabled TLS: TLS.v1.1 and TLSv1.2 will be enabled and internally negotiate TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2 only Secure LDAP: should negotiate according to value of TLS setting (tls.v1_1.enable/tls.v1_2.enable) How to enable: In order to enable the high_security option, all the Vfilers must have the required ECDSA and ED25519 keys generated using Secure admin setup. If any Vfilers do not have the required SSH keys, then high security options cannot be enabled. Consider the following when stronger SSH keys are required: When prompted for the key size, input the number, don’t accept the default in brackets, even if the default is showing the desired key size For ssh1 protocol, key size must be between 1024 and 16384 bits For ssh2 protocol, RSA key size must be between 1024 and 16384 bits DSA valid key size is 1024 bits ECDSA valid key sizes are 256, 384, and 521 bits ED25519 key size must be between 256 and 16384 bits 1. enable> options high_security.enable on 2. Follow the prompts Review Documentation: Setting up and Starting SSH service

Yes, that is a sound plan. The switched -> switchless doc has been provided for that last step.

man page: [-proxy-url <text>] - Support Proxy URL Use this parameter to specify an HTTP or HTTPS proxy if the -transport parameter is set to HTTP or HTTPS and your organization uses a proxy. Enter the URL without an http:// or https:// prefix. If authentication is required, use the format "[username]@[host][:[port]]". You will be prompted for the password. The default is an empty string. To specify a proxy that contains a question mark, press ESC followed by the "?". This field can be cleared by setting the value to an empty string using two double quotes ("").

+1 on XCP as a copy-based option. It's very fast. See: https://xcp.netapp.com/

If this connections is for the cluster network, then it's not supported. If this connection is for front-end/data connectivity, our general recommendation is to stick with the switch vendor's approved cables. With active twinax or optical, YMMV. You can always give it a shot, but you'll want to monitor link status/health and ports stats for any issues.
