In a NetApp storage solution, VLANs are commonly used to isolate different types of network traffic to improve security and performance. One reason to use VLANs is to isolate management traffic from other IP traffic. This isolation ensures that critical management activities are not disrupted by regular data traffic, enhancing security and overall network efficiency. Another reason is to isolate iSCSI traffic from NAS traffic. Segregating these storage protocols helps ensure optimal performance by reducing the likelihood of congestion and interference between the two different types of traffic.
The configuration that determines the domain controllers a CIFS server uses is discovery mode. Discovery mode allows the server to discover all available domain controllers, limit discovery to the local site, or use only preferred domain controllers without performing discovery.
To address the problem of slow resync of the SyncMirror plex in a fabric MetroCluster, you can tune the resync speed using the storage raid-options command. This command allows you to adjust the parameters that control the speed and efficiency of the resync process, thereby optimizing the performance during the operation. Adding more disks or creating a baseline sync are not appropriate as they do not directly address the speed of the resync process. Adding a QoS policy to limit I/O is also not relevant as it would restrict the I/O capacity, potentially slowing down the resync further.
To completely test a newly installed motherboard, you should boot into the diagnostic mode using 'boot_diags' from the LOADER prompt and then execute 'sldiag'. This approach ensures that the system enters the appropriate diagnostic environment specifically designed for hardware tests, including thorough testing of newly installed components like the motherboard.
