How was Commvault used to migrate the data, was it orchestrating Snapmirror in the background, or was Commvault the actual data mover. Is it possible that Commvault either compressed or worse, encrypted the data, making it non-compressible to ONTAP?   The instructions for running post-process sooner are in that KB pointed out above. Run a 0-day cold data scan:   volume efficiency inactive-data-compression start -vserver <vserver> -volume <volume> -inactive-days 0 ... View more

This is going to try and make an HTTPS request to a host named "dir" which I'm assuming doesn't exist on your network.

I believe setting that value to 0 would eliminate the SPARES_LOW warning, but the real question here should be "should I have zero hot spares available?", to which my answer would be no...Now if you have cold spares on site, that would make me less nervous, but I'd much rather see a hot spare be available.   EDIT: Just tried this and go the following:   option raid.min_spare_count: Cannot be set to 0 if there are more than 16 drives or any RAID4 groups configured. ...

Looking at your two examples, this is how I interpret them:   P28DT3H59M55S → 28 Days, 3 Hours, 59 Minutes, 55 Seconds....I think.   PT8H35M42S → 8 Hours, 35 Minutes, 42 Seconds.   Perhaps you could issue the API call at roughly the same time as the CLI command:   snapmirror show -fields lag-time   Comparing the two may provide you with the necessary insight to decode, feel free to post the output of the two here and I'll have a look. ...

Hi Roy,   I think you may have underestimated what is required to administer a fibre channel SAN, even a simple one. I think your best course of action is to talk to your local NetApp or partner sales team, seeking guidance from the SE assigned to you and potentially purchasing some training credits. Do you know who the company you work for bought this array from?   You could also contact support and have them guide you through the process over the phone. All the information you need is in the documentation I've already linked to, I'm sorry I couldn't be of more assistance via this message board.  ... View more

Hi Roy,   The Interoperability Matrix Tool (IMT) isn't something you download, it's a website you use to ensure all of the components in your solution are supported together, access it here, a valid support account is required but I'm assuming you have one of those.   You should probably read the Windows Unified Host Utilities 7.1 Installation guide, basically if you're presenting a LUN through multiple paths you need something that will tell Windows that it's actually the same device and treat it accordingly. When I put a quick configuration into the IMT for Windows 2016, it says:   "For W2K16 MSDSM Configuration, Refer "Windows Host Utilities 7.1 Installation guide".    And I haven't done a Windows FC install in a very long time.   Best of luck. ...

Hi Roy,   If this is indeed a direct attached Fibre Channel configuration, why are you looking into iSCSI? While they are both block protocols and your NetApp array can present the same LUN either way, their transport medium is different. Fibre Channel is delivered over a Fibre Channel connection using HBAs in both Initiator and Target while iSCSI is encapsulated within Ethernet packets and therefore connected via Ethernet.   Assuming you've connected the new host to the storage using  the appropriate transceivers and fibre, then the LUN must be mapped to the new initiator then the storage discovered by the host via a rescan. Assuming FC is your intention and not iSCSI then have a look at the FC Express guide here. If what you want is iSCSI however, there's a similar but different guide for that here.   As an aside, I have no idea if your attached images shed any light on the situation as I am unable to open them.   Good luck, kindly update this thread with your results. ...
