I have these two NetApps in a cluster: Cluster name: naclus1 NetApp 1 (FAS8300): naclus1-01, naclus1-02 NetApp 2 (AFF C250): naclus1-03, naclus1-04 All nodes are connected to a pair Cisco 9K cluster switches. I want to remove the FAS8300 from naclus1 and create a new cluster with it, called naclus2. Is it possible to do that without losing the data already on its nodes? If so, what's the process for that? I have the option of migrating all the data over to the C250 first, wiping out the FAS8300, creating a new cluster from scratch, then migrating it back. However, that would be very time consuming. So if there's a way to do this without moving that data, it would be preferred.

Hello. I tried to obtain autosupport logs manually on the storage of one machine, but when I verified it, I found that it was in a queued state. I used "job show" to check and found that the queue was congested. I wanted to try to delete the tasks queued before this one, but I found that there were a large number of them. How will this affect my storage? (My storage model is FAS2554 and version 8.3 C-mode)

Hello, When I run the following PowerShell command: Get-NcExportRule -vserver * all the columns on the screen populate with the proper information, however when I export it to a .csv file, the columns Protocol, RoRule, RwFule and SuperUser are all populated with System.String[]. Anyone have any suggestions?

we have more than 10 small AFF clusters on different locations. the space is always an issue when time goes on. we are thinking to add a second tier for archiving old data instead of keep spending the capacities. the question is which one is the best choices financially and technically, StorageGRID, cloud or something else? Please share your experience if you are facing similar situation. thanks,

Hi NetApp Community, We're encountering an issue where newly added user quota rules are not being enforced after executing the Start-NcQuotaResize cmdlet. This is impacting our operations, especially as we're expanding services to additional regions. Environment Details: ONTAP Version: 9.15.1 SVM: [SVM_NAME] Volume: [VOLUME_NAME] Quota Policy: [POLICY_NAME](NetApp Knowledge Base) Issue Description: After creating a new user quota rule using the following command: volume quota policy rule create -vserver [SVM_NAME] -policy-name [POLICY_NAME] -volume [VOLUME_NAME] -type user -target [USERNAME] -disk-limit 10GB We execute: Start-NcQuotaResize -Volume [VOLUME_NAME] However, the new quota rule does not appear to be enforced. The volume quota report does not reflect the new user quota, and the user is not restricted as expected. Troubleshooting Steps Taken: Verified that the quota rule exists using volume quota policy rule show. Attempted to reinitialize quotas by turning them off and on: volume quota off -vserver [SVM_NAME] -volume [VOLUME_NAME]
volume quota on -vserver [SVM_NAME] -volume [VOLUME_NAME] This method enforces the new quota but is disruptive and not ideal for our production environment. Additional Observations: The issue seems to occur when a new quota rule is added for a user who did not previously have a quota. We have introduced delays (e.g., Sleep 10) between commands to allow the system to process previous operations, but the issue persists. Error messages such as "The specified qtree does not exist" have been observed, even though the qtree is present. Questions: Is there a known issue with Start-NcQuotaResize not applying new user quota rules in ONTAP 9.15.1? Are there alternative methods to enforce new quota rules without reinitializing quotas? Could this behavior be related to a bug or a change in quota management in recent ONTAP versions? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
