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.

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.
