Hi,
Back about 7 years ago when we purchased our first NetApp systems we hired a NetApp consultant to help us set them up. One of the things he told me was to always put everything in a qtree. Whether it's a cifs shares, nfs export, or luns . . . put them in a qtree. I have followed that practice. I think part of this was that our NetApp systems are for a particular application and we use snapvault for some of the backups (luns and cifs shares). This is all on OnTap v8 in 7-mode.
As I'm about to create some CIFS shares for other uses, I'm wondering if this is a good practice. The new shares would be volume snapmirror'ed to a DR site, but no snapvault.
Any opinions are appreciated.
Thanks
Rick
