Hi all,

      We have had a lot of talk since DOT 7 of this but just to clear it up some (I hope).

aggregate snapshots are required if you use (default 5%);

· RAID SyncMirror and/or MetroCluster configurations.

· Aggr copy command

· Core dump

IS the core dump in on aggr0 snap space only?

So if a Filer/FAS has two aggregates and not using or needing SyncMirror and the aggrcopy command is it safe to turn off the aggregate snap reserve for aggr1 (still leaving snap reserve on for aggr0 for core dumps)?

NetApp – are aggregates snap reserve used for any other purpose?

Thanks

Michael
