One followe-up. Are there any issues if I take the temporary volume offline and delete after I vol moved the parent volume to the other aggregate? Any impact on the clone left behind?   thanks ... View more

@aborzenkov  You are right. Unfortunately, we didn't do what you suggested. Now throughputs to LIF's on two specific nodes are much heavier than the others.    Question: How do I know if throughtputs to these LIF's are too  heavy, and causing performance issues? Or how heavy is too heavy? To me, there seems no way to tell latency on LIF's.      ... View more

Your steps looks very well.   However, I have not sure an information with you: two new nodes have already added into the cluster, and now there are 10 nodes with new LIF's and new everything. Loads are already balanced across all 10 nodes.    Now, i just need to remove two old nodes. I can move all LIF's  to the other nodes, which will cause unbalancing, and yet leave all old LIF's with old name convention (ex, nfs-lif-node1, nfs-lif-node2..) in the cluster forever, whereas node1 and node2 should be already gone. That is why I am thinking to take a downtime and remove all old lif's...   Make sense?         ... View more

I have total of 8 nodes in the cluster. Planning on replacing two of them by adding two new ones first, then take two out. In the end, there would be still 8 nodes.    Understood I can lif move all lif's to the other two nodes(HA) without interruption. However, as I said, move lif's will also move all connections along with NFS datastores and file systems , it will put a lot of loads to those two nodes, causing unbalanced load.   I am thinking to manuall umount those NFS's connecting to two nodes going away, and remount them to two new nodes. That will have service downtime.  Make sense? ... View more

 dbenadib ,   There were concern with that approach: All network trafic will be going to these two nodes that I move these LIF's to, then it would cause unbalanced load.  So, from long run, it'd better to clean them up, and to avoid confusion. To remove them, there will be a downtime.    Make sense? ... View more

Thanks for the message!  Follow-ups and explanations:   1.  The reason I am thinking to use SnapCreator is because of the automation requirement, so, can SnapCenter for Oracle-plug also allow me to schedule the process? 2.  Is the SnapCenter for Oracle is the replacement of Snap Manager for Oracle? 3.  Not the lease, I am thinking now that I cannot use SnapCreator for DR, because the primary site would be gone in DR, whereas the clone DB could be set up on the DR site. So, I cannot use SC in DR scenerio. Am I right?     ... View more

@AvivDeg  Due to the fact that the cold snapshots are currently in the cloud, are you saying that the vol move will migrate data from the cloud directly to StorageGrid? If yes, I would assume the data path should at least pass through the performance tier if not be staying on the performance tier for too long , right? ... View more

Can some experts please pin-point the issue here? it looks I already have the default gateway for the mgmt LIF's of all SVM's. Please check "route show" outputs (.18.x is the mgmt network). ... View more

  I guess my question should be: What such LIF should look like or how should such LIF be created? Because I already have a LIF with mgmt firewall policy for each SVM, and with such gateway:  0.0.0.0/0 10.192.82.1, as shown in my previous output. Was this gateway defined incorrectly? ... View more
