I have a Netapp F760 cluster that I may want to seperate for performance reasons. I noticed they have the same license when I run the license command. Will they both continue to work seperately if I disconnect the cluster connections?
Thanks

I have a Netapp F760 cluster that I may want to seperate for performance reasons.
Keep in mind you won't gain that much. You'll double the write cache, but that's about it. If you need more disk bandwidth, toy w/ 3rd party adapters -- it'd be too easy compared w/ losing clustering.
I noticed they have the same license when I run the license command.
This is undoubtedly an error -- cluster partners are issued their own licenses (except cluster license... can't remember there) -- someone probably didn't bother looking for the other sheet of license keys.
Will they both continue to work seperately if I disconnect the cluster connections?
Should work fine, though you probably should open a support case to see if someone can dig up the proper license keys for you to avoid trouble in the future.
