Veeam Backup and Replication V10 was recently released and I was keen to get this deployed in the lab and check out some of the new features this awesome product has to offer.
In this article I’m going to walk you through the steps I used to upgrade my NetApp Simulator from ONTAP 9.6 to the new ONTAP 9.7 RC1
If you have been following my Ansible demonstrations, you will see that authenticating to my NetApp simulator I had the username and password embedded into the variables.yml file. Like this:
Who loves creating root load-sharing mirrors (LS-mirrors) ? If you manage 1 Ontap system with 1 SVM you may enjoy it, but if you manage multiple systems with many SVM’s then you may not enjoy it as much.
Have you ever had to perform a large number of vol moves in order to evacuate or decommission an aggregate? This week I had to evacuate about 50+ volumes from an aggregate that is being decommissioned. Instead of typing out the vol move command 50+ times I decided to automate it with NetApp Powershell module.
If you followed my last post where I created an Ansible Playbook to complete a full setup of a NetApp simulator, you would have seen that it was one gigantic playbook.
Last month, I decided it was time to get my hands dirty and jump right into learning some Ansible Automation with NetApp.
Today has been the release of NetApp Ontap 9.6 RC2 and what better way to get familiar with it than to run it up in the lab as a simulator.
VMworld 2018 Day 1 started off with some exciting announcements from Pat Gelsinger that I want to highlight in this post.
I recently tweeted out about the awesome boot menu option that NetApp has introduced in Ontap 9.x that saves a tonne of time called – Configure Advanced Drive Partitioning. In this post I will show you what steps to go through when using option 9 – Configure Advanced Drive Partitioning
