Heightsnj - Yes, large aggrs with lots of disks are a good thing. But 80+ disks in your aggr already is large, and so would be using two shelves to create a new 40+ disk aggr. I'd create the new aggr if I was in your place. I hope this response has been helpful to you. At your service, Eugene E.

Heightsnj - My best advice is not to grow aggregates. Plan your aggregate layout and do it right to start with. Or if you have to, do it with lots of disks to avoid creating hotspots. ONTAP 8.X allocates the storage space in the aggr a bit different than 7.X. Hotspots from adding disks are not as much of a problem as it was in earlier versions of ONTAP. There is the undocumented hotspots= output from the reallocate command to see if you do have hotspots on a volume after adding disks. If you have thousands of volumes and you wanted to measure/reallocate on all of them, then I'd automate the process with the APIs. I don't have a sim up and running right now, and the reallocate command is conspicuously missing from the manual page refernce for Cluster Mode. (Though it does show up in the 7 Mode to Cluster mode command map?) Can't verify your syntax for reallocate start. I hope this response has been helpful to you. At your service, Eugene E.

Eric - I'm guessing you're using ASM ? It means SnapDrive had a problem while trying to snapshot multiple LUNs in a consistency group. See the Snapdrive documentation: Crash-consistent Snapshot copies https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1552619/html/GUID-E42D87FB-720D-46F4-9BC9-3F9632C5DB71.html SMO is designed to fail 'safe'' - the snapshots are probably all good on these backups, or SMO wouldn't mark them as succesful. I wouldn't be worried about it, but you may want to do a test clone of the DB from one of the backups with the error message. I hope this response has been helpful to you. At your service, Eugene E.

Guy - When you ssh into the cluster shell the context is already ALL controllers in the cluster. You can pass node shell commands to any controller with the 'system node run' command.

Edwin - Question 1: The diagram you posted is a bit confusing. Please see the attached ppt slide of an MCCM installation. It might make things a bit clearer. See also the Metrocluster documentation: http://mysupport.netapp.com/documentation/productlibrary/index.html?productID=30022 Question 2: There's a data migration appliance that can be used for SAN migration. See the DTA2800: http://www.netapp.com/us/media/ds-3276.pdf and http://www.netapp.com/us/media/tr-4052.pdf For application migration see: http://www.netapp.com/us/media/tr-4336.pdf I hope this response has been more helpful to you.

Edwin - The connections highlighted in the diagram are FC ISLs between the switches. All four controllers have connectivity to all of the disk shelves. I don't see the FC SAS bridges that would be there included in the diagram ? NVRAM is also mirrored 4X in a Cluster Mode Metrocluster implementation. It's a bit complex. There's a 2 day MCCIW Metrocluster Cluster Mode Installation Workshop class we teach where we cover this all in detail. As for your second question... There's things we can do with a SAN migration appliance. NAS workload migration is mostly host based. There are various non-disruptive methods based on the application. (VMware, Oracle, other) The questions you ask aren't easy ones to answer with a short post to the community... I hope this response has been helpful to you. At your service, Eugene E.
