Coming from 7-mode I have some hard time grasping the cluster mode concepts.
If I have 2 shelves and a FAS80xx switchless HA pair, am I better off dividing the disks between 2 aggregates between the two nodes to take advantage of both nodes? Or does it not matter anymore with cdot?
If using NAS only, and if I create a data SVM per node and configure a LIF on it, what data LIF should the clients connect to? So if there is 1 volume on the aggr created on the disks owned by node1 and 1 volume on the aggr created on the disks owned by node2, should the clients mount the NFS volumes on the corresponding LIF? When do I use DNS load-balancing? Is there such a thing as a cluster data lif?
Thanks!
