Did you see the note on page 16:   NOTE: Be aware this guide mixes examples of the VMnet8 on different subnets (192.168.23.0 above, 17.0 later on, etc)   Are you using IP space suitable to your environment? The screenshot you provided isn't much help, at the same prompt can you please type "net int show" and provide the output of that? ... View more

I see you've gotten ample feedback on training providers, my response here is to suggest that you install the simulator in your virtual environment, get into the command line and start changing/breaking stuff. There's no better way to learn. Get to the command line, type a question mark, type the first command and then another question mark to see the parameters ad nauseam. ... View more

I guess this is a pre-emptive SOW, considering 9.8GA isn't out yet never mind P1? There's a lot of variables that go into scoping this upgrade, and while 12-16 hours definitely feels excessive, without context to what sort of surrounding effort is involved it wouldn't be fair to call this ludicrous yet. Is it your role to question the pricing of a statement of work? Sometimes management simply wants a throat to choke or finger to point and if no one in-house can do the upgrade, they often feel better if they pay more. If the system is heavily loaded it wouldn't be completely unheard of for an upgrade of an HA pair to take 4, maybe 6 hours. Then, is there any sort of verification testing being done, what about upgrades of OCUM/AiQUM, Snapcenter, or other support infrastructure? If it is your place to question the price, then perhaps you could request a Time & Materials SOW and not a fixed fee and have them report their hours. Or, shop the the upgrade around, surely there's other partners in your area who could provide a competing quote.   Finally, the upgrade process in recent years has become quite easy and you should think about giving it a go yourself if you're concerned about the cost, but remember, now it is your throat that management gets to choke if it fails. ...

You really don't have to run ConfigAdvisor, it's only going to check for cabling errors and if this cluster has been running for a while, it's probably fine. However, it doesn't hurt to have it installed, so maybe proceed anyway.   Config Advisor does indeed connect to your systems directly, via ssh, but it will not provide an upgrade path. That path previously provided by TMAC is the right way to go. ... View more

I don't believe you're going to see much compression at all on either the TIFF or JPG files. TIFF files don't compress much, if at all and JPG are already compressed I believe. ONTAP can use either LZO Pro or GZIP compression algorithms, you could try compressing your files with utilities that use these same algorithms to determine compressibility. I think what you'll find is that the only way to compress these file types is at the expense of quality, typically people are keeping TIFF files because they want to retain quality. No storage company should tell you differently either.  ... View more

I'm going to assume you've tried the obvious (to me) fixes of flipping the fibres in case of a TX/RX reversal as well as tried a new cable?   Assuming the above, can we get the following from the cluster: net int show net port show   And then the following from the Cisco: show run int <relevant interface> ...

As SpindleNinja indicated, you'll have to recreate the IFGRP. If a0b has the correct VLAN(s) on it, migrate your LIFs form a0a to a0b, tear down a0a and rebuild from there. VLANs on top of IFGRPs are also a good idea, per SN. ... View more
