why bother at all...
for just a few buck you can go out and get some "Y" power cables (C13/C14) and fake the NetApp gear into thinking it is fully powered.
I have done that ....so many times.... before.

A lame suggestion is to turn autosupport off for Netapp (look for netapp addressing in options autosuport and disable). If you are using DFM/Operations Manager/OnCommand/next marketing term for internal monitoring, you will know when a disk fails.. If you get a disk failure, you can call, give them the messages file and they should send out a replacement...
Just a suggestion.

Hi John,
there are serveral things that cannot be configured here (at least that's what I've always been told when asking questions like this). I do have filers which are low on spares intentionally f.ex., but according to NetApp (at least according to the tech that handled my autosupport case) there's no option of telling the filer to not moan about a low spares condition.
We were doing UPS maintenance some weeks ago and I forgot to disable auto support before doing that and so a handful of autosupport tickets got created and I did also ask if it's possible to disable AS warnings for power conditions, but just got the same answer there: Not possible.
So if there are ways to fine-tune what gets sent via autosupport, I'd love to hear them too :)
Bye,

Guys,
We're in the process of starting to migrate from some 3140s running 7.3.6 to a 3220 cluster running 8.1.2, or whatever the latest release is. Going from 3.5 racks down to just 1 rack, woohoo! But I'm short of 30amp power plugs in my data center. So my plan is to drop one of my 3140s down to just two 30A circuits so I can bring up the 3220 cluster with fully redundant power.
I know I need to turn off autosupport while this is happening, though I'd like to just turn off warning about power problems and keep auto support going for disk failures.
Any suggestions or comments?
Thanks, John _______________________________________________ Toasters mailing list Toasters@teaparty.net http://www.teaparty.net/mailman/listinfo/toasters
