Maybe easier to use a DS460C ?

Same 4HU, space for 12 more disks, already 12GB/IOM12...

And should be officially supported, I think.

P.S. And yes, there's a proactive evacuation of the "other" disk, if one fails. And publishes the disks as 2 "partitions" of a single disk to ONTAP... (which the DS460C does not do)

Hi there

 

Because of space constraints I am planning to move my 3 pcs. DS212C into a DS4486.

But I have a few questions 😊

My existing disks are X318 (8TB NL-SAS), and I think the caddies for the DS4486 are also SAS, so that should technically fit?

 

Does the NetApp see 24 or 48 disks from the DS4486?  Because I plan to reuse existing disks with aggregates on them…

 

I can see the DS4486 use special PN as spare disks because the caddy has two disks installed.  How does NetApp handle the replacement when one disk of the two dies?

I know the healthy disk is also copied to a spare before you can replace the caddy, but do you then replace both disks, or do you just replace the broken disk of the two?

 

I also have plans on replacing the IOM6 modules with IOM12 just as you can in the DS4246 shelfs..  any issues with that?

 

I know this is close if not far beyond what is supported 😉
