Hi Experts, I'm currently facing an issue with adding disks to my NetApp system and would greatly appreciate your help. Here is my current setup: NetApp FAS8300 system Firmware version: 9.11.1 Current disks: Aggregate 1 : 20 disks of 16TB in RAID-TEC Aggregate 2 : 20 disks of 16TB in RAID-TEC I have new 16TB disks that I want to add to my existing storage pool. However, I'm not sure of the exact steps to integrate these new disks optimally without disrupting my system's current operations. Here are a few specific questions I have: Are there any prerequisites or specific checks that need to be done before adding the disks ? What is the exact command to add these new disks to the existing storage pool ? Should I plan for a maintenance window or any downtime during the disk addition process ? Is it possible to mix disks of different sizes and, if so, what are the implications for performance and space management ? Any help or advice on the procedure would be greatly appreciated. If you have any experiences to share, that would be very helpful! Thanks

I have an A200 in my home lab that the controller on side A will not power on. I am able to get to the BMC and look at the event logs and it appears the CPU is having issues. I removed the controller and heatsink, but it looks like the CPU is soldered directly on the motherboard. Can anyone confirm that is the case?

Hello. I have a question about the system manager. When I download the performance of the system manager, there are read, write, and other parts. However, the proportion of other in the IOPs portion of our customer's data is applied too large. What does the value of other mean? In addition, from which value can the latency value be considered to be delayed? When monitoring latency values, at what point should I tell the customer that it can affect them?
