Hi Francis / Friends,

Honestly that's all information I have. It was a long & crazy day for me and therefore I really didn't bothered to investigate much from the customer. But it does seem like no brainier :)

Story goes like this: One of my customer wrote us [CommVault] saying with cluster 8.2 they could use only Tape Drive with at a given time with NDMP, however NetApp has confirmed to them that with 8.3 they can utilize both drives. So they wanted to know if CommVault support this or not.

I am now totally confused what did he mean Drive [Spinning] or Tape Drive, but I think there is no restriction for the number of drives that you can write to, it depends upon how many streams you are reading from the NetApp filer.

Therefore I am just little baffled by what he actually meant.

I just thought of asking the community if they are aware of any such thing.

Thanks,
-Ashwin

Hi Ashwin,

I think you'll need to provide a bit more detail to get a response on this.

2 drives for what purpose on a  cDOT Cluster?

Ashwin,

Yes, you can create a 2 drive aggregate in cDOT.

However, if you?re interested in 2 drive aggregates for the purposes of minimizing the amount of capacity you have to devote to the root aggregate, a better approach might be to leverage the root-data partitioning capability, available for entry-level and AFF platforms, running DataONTAP 8.3.

Hey there,

I was adding two shelves to one of my FAS8020s (cDOT, if that matters) recently and one IOM on each of the newly added shelves is missing in `storage show acp` or `acpadmin list_all` directly on the nodeshell.

I've done some research and found that usually a TO/GB helps in this situation, but I'm - of course - trying to avoid that.
So, any ideas how I can try to make those pesky IOMs respond on the ACP? I tried to disable and re-enable ACP, but that didn't help (maybe I did it wrong, have never fully disabled ACP on a cDOT system), so any pointers are welcome.

Also, config advisor suggests to install missing shelf firmware, so I was wondering if it is safe to install the shelf firmware while an IOM is missing on the ACP?
