adding a shelf to an AFF220
by Rue, Randy 22 Jul '21

22 Jul '21

Hi All, We have an AFF220 with one external shelf and are adding a second shelf. I see clear info in the NetApp docs on how to connect multiple shelves, daisy chaining the shelves and returning the last shelf to the head. But the docs are based on setting up a new system and I haven't found anything on adding a shelf to a new system. Do I just move that return cable to the new shelf? Will there be any interruption to services? What else do I need to know? Thanks, Randy in Seattle

space reporting on AFF's with compression?
by Rue, Randy 22 Jul '21

22 Jul '21

Hello All, We're migrating from a FAS to a new AFF that has inline compression and a guarantee of 3X compression. I'm trying to convert a graphite/snmp graphing system that reports our overall aggregate space usage to the new system. A straightforward graph of used and free space on the data aggregates/tiers shows the right portion of space used but seems to be reporting pre-compression usage (and we appear to be getting less than 3X). The System Manager webUI says we're getting ~120:1 "Data Reduction" but it also says we're using 1.74PB and have 14TB available. In fact we currently have 48 x 900GB SSDs in two disk groups/tiers and about 40TB of actual unstructured data. Is there a doc somewhere on understanding space reporting with the new system including meaningful reporting of compression returns? Grateful for any help, Randy in Seattle

UNMAP space issue
by Heino Walther 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Hi there We have an old 7-mode NetApp on which we have created several 16TB LUNs and presented them via FC to a Windows host on which we have created one large drive using StoragePools. We now have the issue that space is not unmapped on the NetApp as we delete files from out large drive… SnapDrive does not see the LUNs we have mapped because StoragePools uses them, so we cannot start the Space Reclaimer. We have tried sdelete.exe with the -z option, but it does not seem to work for us… I have read that we should be able to use defrag /L or Optimize-Volume X -ReTrim -SlabConsolidate But I was wondering if anyone has tested this? The StoragePool was created on Windows 2016, but has since been moved to a Windows 2019 platform.. Any suggestions are very welcome 😊 We are talking very large volumes, so I would rather not test that much 😉 /Heino
