Hi Experts
I have single filer used for storing Veeam backups, as an NFS share.
I only need 1 export policy rule, so I have deleted the other 2, but those 2 gets back.
::> vserver export-policy rule show
shows 3 rules.
::> vserver export-policy rule delete -policyname default -ruleindex 1
After deleteing 2 unneeded rule, everything starts working, but the deleted rules get back somehow.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi All,
I am looking to upgrade our SVM's from NFS v3 to NFS 4.1 / 4.2. The SVM's host volumes for VMware Datastores (Vsphere 7), Linux Servers, Oracle, Linux NFS mapped storage and CIFS shares presented to Windows and Linux clients.
Our Linux infrastructure is Red Hat 7 and we are in the process of rebuilding to Red Hat 9. We have seen some NFS file locking issues in Red Hat 9 and a suggestion has been made that upgrading to NFS 4.1 / 4.2 may solve this issue.
Enabling NFS 4.1 / 4.2 looks as simple as a tick box in the SVM settings and ensuring that all Export Policies in the SVM allow for NFSv4 access protocols.
Is there anything else I need to look out for?
Is the transition to NFS 4.1 / 4.2 seamless from a client perspective?
Looking at VMWare, it appears that there wont be an impact and that NFS 4 datastores will only be used when creating new datastores.
Any pieces of advice would be welcome. It looks like a fairly simple change, but the impact if something goes wrong would be large.
Thanks,
Ben
Is it possible to leverage VSS/Previous Versions on Windows Servers that are hosted on Vmware datastores via NetApp FC LUNs?
I know this works well when the files are in CIFS shares and volume snapshots are accessible. But can a file server that is a VM hosted on NetApp storage (FC or NFS) leverage VSS to allow "Previous Versions" restores?

Hi all,
We notice something has been creating snapshots on some but not all volumes. The snapshot names are UUIDs in braces, e.g.: {1e694cb2-bddb-11ee-81a5-00a098db949a}.
We checked, they are not created by the volume's snapshot-policy. Those snapshots have normal names.
The strange thing about these UUID-named snapshots is that they are not created on a set schedule. They don't appear everyday, but on random days.
We don't know what created them and how long they will be kept, or if they will even be auto-deleted at all. So we have been manually deleting some older ones.
Can you suggest what settings or logs we can look at to help identify the source of these snapshots?
Thanks for your help!
I think the nfs volume is exported with 700 as the permissions and root:root as owner. I cannot change it at the system level, and that needs to be done by IT on the volume/filer itself. Can you please ask them to change permissions to 755 so you can cd to it.
this is issue - What should be change from filer end in the export-policy ?
Superuser Security Types: sys -> this option should be changed to ?
Hi Team,

We already have our clusters connected to Active Directory and I have been using my AD account for SSH logins for years. Following the steps https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/authentication/configure-cisco-duo-mfa-task.html#bypass-duo-authentication-for-users in we ran:
However when I SSH to the cluster I am never prompted with a Duo challenge. "security logon duo show" says that the status is "OK". We then tried to make a new AD group just called duo_netapp but the same issue exists where we never receive the challenge.
We are now in the process of transferring the organization's information data from the old storage system represented by HPE 3par to the new Netapp (c800). What methods are available to transfer data from the old system to the new?
Can you help us with this matter because it is very important to us?
Hi, I am new to NetApp, and facing issue SnapMirror transfer.
Background:
Recently, I faced an issue with the SnapMirror relationship due to network problems. After resolving the network issue and ensuring stability over a few weeks, I initiated the SnapMirror process again. However, the transfer seems to be stuck, and it never completes. Any idea?

I tried to install Ontap 9.14.1 as a summation.
but when finish configuring the network and cluster
and login to sustem Manager, i faced high usage in aggr0, reaching 96%
As mentioned in the below image , I can't also login to Syem Manager; it appears to be loading, and VOKUME SHOW is not working.
How can I solve the issue?
Looks like Ontap only support certain format of wildcard that the bucket must exist.
Can I do regex match on bucket name?
e.g. We want user to access all buckets with a "buck" prefix and we want to do the regex with buck*
My Security & Risk Oversight Director is asking how we can "install" Crowdstrike on NetApp - knowing that is not realistically possible. But the true ask here is, how do we protect the NetApp OS (ONTAP/Free BSD) using established Endpoint Detect & Response (EDR) or Managed Detect & Response (MDR) solutions?
Our organization uses CrowdStrike Falcon. So I'm being asked to check with NetApp and other relevant vendors if they allow for the installation of EDR tools like CrowdStrike Falcon or are there established solutions to meet this need?
Thank you in advance!
For years we've used a custom role for SnapCenter permissions on our iSCSI and NFS SVMs, based on the following article:
This has worked well. Now I'm testing to add the new snapshot locking feature in OnTAP 9.12.1 so I can lock the three most recent snapshots from deletion. In testing, my custom role is generating "Insufficient privileges" alerts, stating the custom account "does not have write access to this resource". The specific failed task was "Set SnapLock Expiration Time Failed".
I found the following KB article and added the two additional actions listed to the role, but got the same error. Any suggestions? I really want to implement this, but this permission issue is turning into a blocker.

Hello all,
We are deploying some new hosts in a cluster. One of the hosts fails with following message "Host is out of compliance with the image" all other hosts work fine. When I remove the component "NetApp NAS VAAI Module for ESX Server" the compliance check succeed.
Any clue what else we can do?
Thank you!
Hello all,
I just caught wind that our AD OU's will be altered on this upcoming Monday, and I immediately thought of our CIFS server computer account that is in one of our OU's. From what I am gathering from this KB article, we shouldn't experience any connection issues however I wanted to do my due diligence and ask all you smart people. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi, Experts,
One customer will have 1PB hot data and 10PB cold data(from one application) to do data tiering. Since he has two Datacenters (DC-A and DC-B , several KMs far away, DC-A is primary, DB-B is secondary), and since DA-A has not enough rack space , so has to split cold data storage into DC-A and DC-B. My question is if we design a Fabric pool solution like below , is it workable ? And can i manage which data to DC-A or DC-B cold tier ? How to improve read performance if need read cold data from DC-B ?
Draft design as this : Put one SSD storage (1PB) in DC-A as hot data storage , put one SG or ONTAP S3 storage (5PB) in DC-A as part of cold tier, put another SG or ONTAP S3 storage(another 5PB) in DC-B as another part of cold tier .
If this design is not workable ? Any other suggestions ?
Rgds,
Jackie

Hello Team,
I have a question how convenient is it to use vscan or ARP [autonomous ransomware protection], I know for licensing for vscan you need to purchase from the antivirus vendor, however, from the ontap ARP perspective, having both makes more secure nas shares or just enough with ARP?
I assume just having one, for example, ARP, since makes a learning mode for 30 days then switches to active, [depending on the workloads, adding too much data, or deleting a lot, etc..], however, having ARP in a learning mode while having vscan server, I'm not sure if is a good idea because, in a certain way, there's a kinda delay while the server is scanning the files to serve data, also, what about the vscan trigger some alerts and the ARP consider as a threat.
