Hi All,
I have errors on my connection timeouts.

Thanks,

I am trying to create a config in scnapcreator server but unable to add Vserver. Getting below error.
Operation failed, Check GUI logs for details. ( STORAGE-02152 STORAGE-03101: Determining Clustered ONTAP identity for [10.131.255.42] failed with error [netapp.manage.NaAuthenticationException: Authorization failed]. )
can you pls suggest a resolution.
We have a 6 node cluster made from FAS8040's and being pushed to enable the volume encryption feature in ONTAP 9.1. Has anyone tried this feature on non AFF systems and seen the CPU impact and general node performance?
Our nodes are running close to 50% untilisation and worried this feature could overload the system?
Hi,
I was not able to delete snapvault busy snapshot. I dont see any clone's with respect to the snapshot but i see there is DEDPUPLICATION enabled on this particular snapvault volume.
Thanks in advance.
I am putting in a customer an FAS with Flexarray to virtualize E-series and EF-series, I understand tha you can activate deduplication an compression in-line but I can not find documentation about it.
do yo know if this is possible and if there is documentation?
thanks you
Hello,
I have a NetApp Storage in Cluster with Ontap 8.3.
I'm having permissioning issues on some folders of a mixed volume.
When accessed via NFS on a Linux, the system denies permission to access multiple directories.
When accessed via CIFS by Windows, the system denies permission to access these same directories to users who have read and write permission.
But if I access with a domain admin user, it allows access.
I tried to look in the documentation for some command that I could execute by ssh shell, but I did not find any commands to rebuild the permissions on this volume.
What can I do to solve it? Anyone have an idea?
Thank you for any help.

I am moving shelves containing 7-mode snaplock compliance volumes to another 7-mode ha pair that already has snaplock compliance configured.
I expect no issues with the move, and expect the volumes to show up as snaplock compliance volumes on the new filers.
The SLC volumes are sources for VSM relationships.
The source will move but the data and base snapshots will remain the same.
Can the relationship be modified to point to the new location of the source?
or will they need to be snapmirror break and left as a SLC copy of the SLC source volume on the VSM destination?

Correlate EMS Messages and Performance Metrics with NetApp OATS (ONTAP Analytics and Telemetry Services)
If you’d like to diagnose performance problems in one or more clusters by correlating EMS messages and Key Performance Metrics (KPM), you can deploy the free Netapp ONTAP Analytics and Telemetry Services (OATS) application into your AWS.
OATS performance dashboards display data for multiple clusters, allowing summary and drill down detailed views. OATS data collection imposes almost no overhead on ONTAP and can be used in all performance scenarios. It also provides a complete set of APIs for more advanced integration and data exploration.
To deploy OATS in a matter of minutes:
1. Confirm access to your AWS Account. You’ll need administration privileges to be able to deploy a stack of resources. Go to https://aws.amazon.com for more details.
2. Go to AWS Marketplace (https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace) and search for Netapp OATS. You’ll have three results for the three Amazon Machine Images (AMIs):
3. Accept the Software Terms for each of those machines and continue the deployment through CloudFormation Console, from the Web Portal AWS page. For more information on how to install in AWS, see: https://s3.amazonaws.com/oats-metadata/1.0.1/oats_aws.html
4. Set up the deployment based on your AWS settings, security and network configuration. For details on parameters, see: https://s3.amazonaws.com/oats-metadata/1.0.1/oats_getting-started.html#_deploying_cloud_oats_CFT
5. Your OATS Stack will be deployed in about 15 to 20 mins by Amazon Web Services.
6. Follow instructions to set up a DataCollector container in your environment, with read-only access to the clusters you want to monitor. For details on the DataCollector installation, see: https://s3.amazonaws.com/oats-metadata/1.0.1/oats_datacollector.html
7. Once deployed, the stack will receive data and dashboards will be available.
For more information, see Getting started with OATS: https://s3.amazonaws.com/oats-metadata/1.0.1/oats_getting-started.html
For more documentation, see the ONTAP9 documentation center.

So, I have a customer with a FAS2520. Been running in production for a few years now on ontap 9.0.
We did an upgrade today to ontap 9.2.
While poking around I noticed the Flash Cache screen said the controllers had 768GB of flashcache disabled. So I went ahead and hit the enable button in the GUI for both controllers.
Now, I'm pretty certain the FAS2500 series did not have flash cache as an option and a sysconfig from both nodes doesn't show anything.
So where did this phantom flash cache come from? The really weird thing the flash cache screen will even show an occasional hit.
Does 9.2 show the NVMEM or something weird as flash cache?
Hi genies!
I have done a few 1 on 1 headswaps,but I have some questions for this setup. The NetApp documentation I have found focusses mostly on simple head swap procedures.
The title basically says it all: a 4 node cdot cluster, serving only nfs data, is being reinvested into a 2 node 8200 ha pair, while reusing the data disks.
4 node cluster is fas 6250, each node has it's own data aggregate and shelfs, which needs to be moved to the new HA pair.
The 8200 comes bundled with a shelf, so i can configure and join it in the cluster. But how do i move the data aggregates to the new filers?
Just reconnecting the old shelfs to the new 8200, and assigning the disks will probably not work. Any suggestions?
This will probably be a disruptive operation, so we are allowed to have downtime.
Hi all,
I am an end-user of Netapp storage.
At my company, my area purchased 432TB of Netapp storage.
Our storage team has taken the disks, and now deployed/installed, and now of the 432TB storage, 37 has been set-aside for spare disks, and 70TB has been reserved for 'Netapp Health'. They say it is industry standard for array health and performance to carve out ~20% to provide capacity for background and OS processes.
This question is coming from me -- an end-user. I am not a storage expert. I did try to understand this:
question please:
20% space reserved for Netapp health, to me, seems like a sizeable chunk of space that unfortunately my area cannot take advantage of as useable space. What is Netapp doing behind the scenes to require this amount of disk? I mean, is this space being used as scratch/temp space, during Netapp compression executions? Or perhaps for Netapp deduplication? I am simply curious as to the details here. Again I am not a storage expert, I hope you can break it down for me!! 
Thanks all!!
ONTAP Recipes: Did you know you can? Create an Oracle RAC Application on NFS
Easily Create an Oracle RAC Application on NFS
Use the Oracle application creation feature to set up the application with two instances of the database, provision the set of volumes needed for its storage and place them on aggregates and nodes that can safely meet the capacity and IOPS requirements of the workload, provision QoS policies to ensure continued compliance with those requirements, and identify the hosts that will access the objects.
An Oracle RAC application can be created for use over NFS in OnCommand System Manager using the following steps:
1. Select the SVM.
2. Click the Applications tab in the menu bar.
3. Click Add Application.
4. In the “Add Oracle Instance” page, specify the following properties of the application:
5. Select NFS as the protocol used to access the application.
6. Select the host operating system that will access the application.
7. The IP addresses of the hosts that will access the application.
8. Use System Manager to view the details of the Oracle RAC application.

Greetings,
It seems that I have fallen into the category of the disgruntle employee area. Upon his leaving the area, I was on leave and they went and accessed the snapmissor.conf files and deleted the contents. Not the file, just the contents, so I will need to sit and type each line for the snapmirrors to start again.
I have gone through my notes and I am not sure on the exact verbiege on how the lines are constructed. Could someone please give me an example of one line on how the snapmirror.conf is. Also, for the time period, does anyone have the definitions on the when the snapmirror takes effect.
As always, any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi
Could anyone confirm wether or not it is possible to specify a different timezone for a SVM than the cluster has?
eg SVM needs UTC, but cluster has GMT+2
thx
