Maybe someone can help me... I've marked as "favorite" several sessions on the Insight session catalog at https://insight.netapp.com/sessions/?showMyInterest=true#/. However, I don't know how to actually get to those sessions on NetApp TV, when the time comes for them. I can't tell which are live and which are on-demand either.

Can someone explain the link between insight.netapp.com session listings and NetAppTV, or how to find the content I have "favorited" tomorrow?

# blissful comet excellent, thanks for looking into it!

No problem! Also, just so you're aware, those are all on-demand (pre-recorded) and will be available long after the event this week on NTV. Some of them are being re-presented here in Discord live with the presenters (We couldn't get to all of them). Check the Events tab at the top of the channel to see if there's any you're interested in!

Hi Drew

Insight 2022, based on sessions is W O R T H L E S S. It seems more and more NetApp is thinking C L O U D and forgetting their on-prem customers. Perhaps we need to start forgetting NetApp as well.

Have you seen the events we’re doing here? ONTAP and hardware updates, ADP and Networking Deep Dives, roundtable with ONTAP prod mgmt. marketing is definitely focusing heavily on cloud but look past that and there’s plenty of hardware and on-prem stuff.

It was in the SM interface, but recent versions removed the subnet / automatic ip assignment for lifs in the gui. Currently we are on 9.10.1P7 but I don't see that added back yet.

Good stuff.

hazy compass
cold geyser
#

the upstream switch's native VLAN cannot be detected by a device attached to it

#

*upstream switch port's native VLAN

hazy compass
#

I think the best you could do is run pktt on the port then look at the subnets visible, if any.

silk light
#

LLDP and CDP can do that, IIRC. They just usually don't.

cold geyser
#

the 1q VLAN tagging doesn't happen until the packet egresses from the upstream port

#

and then gets stripped when it goes down to the attached device to the port

hazy compass
#

However, is a "native" VLAN a VLAN at all or is it a hybrid access/L2 port?

cold geyser
#

my vote: not even a VLAN

hazy compass
#

I don't believe packets in a native VLAN have a VLAN header at all, but I've never looked into that.

sacred wolf
hazy compass
#

I've always just assumed that's how it was accomplished.

cold geyser
#

well... there are 2 types of "native"

hazy compass
#

go on

stiff tinsel
hazy compass
#

A native VLAN is a special VLAN whose traffic traverses on the 802.1Q trunk without any VLAN tag

#

source: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-between-default-vlan-and-native-vlan/

cold geyser
#

there is the switch "native" which usally is 1 and really means "untagged"

#

then... there's the "native" VLAN of a trunked port

hazy compass
#

While it does usually default to 1, I think security best practice is to modify that.

cold geyser
#

that's the VLAN tag that gets applied for traffic that is not tagged on that port

hazy compass
#

Trunk being 802.11q and not Nortel's definition of trunk which is LACP to everyone else.

cold geyser
#

LOL

hazy compass
#

Back when I was on the team of cable company launching a phone service, we (the datacentre guys) had quite the debate over what a "trunk" is with the TelCo guys.

hazy compass
#

Indoubatable

cold geyser
#

that's what security would want to change, yes

#

and that's irrelevant to ONTAP since ONTAP doesn't even see that

hazy compass
#

True enough. So, to answer the question I believe was asked, no, there is no command to determine if there is a native VLAN on a link attached to a port however, that doesn't mean you can't figure it out using tools available on-box.

stiff tinsel
hazy compass
#

Like I said, the question I believe was asked.

stiff tinsel
#

If it is on a VLAN outside of ONTAP, then you are correct: you'd have to use tools on the switches or elsewhere to deduce it.

hazy compass
#

IE: check if there is a native VLAN assigned on a port that was provisioned for you.

#

@opal yarrow It really whip's the llama's ass!

dusky ore
#

Will the NetApp logo change back to blue again now that we have that BlueXP? 🤓

cold geyser
#

if you have a native VLAN... ONTAP does not need to do anything to use it

hazy compass
#

No, but for security reasons someone may want to confirm that there is NOT one.

cold geyser
#

then set every port on the switch to "trunk". Then ONTAP will be REQUIRED to create a VLAN to use a port

hazy compass
#

I have, in the past, used a default native VLAN on a0a for mgmt and then all the other lifs on a0a-xyz

hazy compass

Looking at HWU, if you choose switchless, it tells you it's going to use the X91440A, you don't get the X91153A in HWU unless you choose switched in the "supported connections" area.

# solid mountain The issue should be resolved, please try again

Are you guys working on a virtual appliance option? Setting up a linux box and installing things etc just to kind of see if there is any value here is probably a bit much. My systems are fully onprem and like Ed, I hit that wall with the cloud connector piece immediately. In looking at the doc you linked for running one on-prem it just seemed a bit much to deal with for not really understanding the benefit.

#

There are so many tools its pretty difficult to keep up with whats what anymore. The onprem active iq, the support site active iq, and probably some others i'm not thinking of, along with adding this additional option.

#

Thats certainly with me not having a very good understanding at all of what exactly BlueXP can offer for fully on-prem setups, just trying to get a better feel for how it could help.

It looked like you needed to build out a linux box, and then install the software. A packaged appliance would just be a lot cleaner setup and presumably a lot easier to manage.

Yeah just some container version, probably will get done at some point but i guess its a bit new currently.

#

I'm assuming what they had for Cloud Insights, they would utilize also for BlueXP

#

I like both suggestions a virtual appliance and a container image both sound like good options. I'll make sure that gets back to the product team if they don't pick it up from here

Good morning, INSIGHT! Ready for Day 2?! We'll be kicking things off in about 45 minutes with Andy Crudge from AWS giving us an Intro and Overview + What's New with FSx ONTAP!

nice swirling purple lights. I am being hypnotized!

We can hear you.

#

Thanks, Andy for persevering and appearing.

#

Damn IT depts, right?! 😉

#

If you have questions for Andy, you can come off mute and jump in, or ask them here in chat and I'll relay when there's a beat/break

#

Is there a way to have a node that is shut off except for specific needs or aggregates that are offline so there are no charges or less charges?

#

Use case: Flexcache to physical FAS/AFF, but have a bigger capacity node/aggr in FSxN that is only powered on as needed to save money.

opal yarrow
#

At this time, no, but I'll relay it anyway. We used to do the same for long-term archive systems that we only sync'ed up once a month.

Serverless FSxN 😉

Or if not, is there is a way to have a FSxN template with all the configs so if a new instance is spun up it has all the IP addresses, CIFS AD config, etc. after it is booted?

I would start to look more at CDK versus CloudFormation. And CDK is supported now by Terraform, as well:
https://aws.amazon.com/cdk/
https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cdktf

Starting to see customers get more out of CDK because it allows you to define infrastructure in more of an imperative way that most people are used to (scripting) versus the more declarative nature of CloudFormation or Terraform.

^Bingo. Thanks Taylor!

fringe jolt
#

Thanks Nick and Taylor!

#

Not a question needing mentioned on the call, but this is exactly what I was looking for!

#

Nick just showing off by mentioning Firecracker. 😉

#

Is there documentation on how to set CF/CDK up I could send the customer use case I'm asking about? I could try to find something but I figure someone here might have a handy reference or something I can't quickly find on Google.

SageMaker Training jobs is primarily what Andy is referring to. Being able to select FSxN volumes behind the containers running those jobs.

I like to poke him about that one every couple of months

The evolution and maturity of ANF over the last 5 years has been incredible

#

Oh this is cool, I had not heard about this!

rose grove
#

I may be biased but I really love our cloud storage offerings

fringe jolt
#

😄

#

Honestly we struck quick and it shows. We don't slow down in our innovation in the cloud.

rose grove
#

I’ve seen many different storage start ups over my career, many of them no longer exist, walking around KubeCon last week I saw many more, of which I don’t think many will be here in a decade. There’s something I always return to, enterprise storage is hard, as much as people wish to say otherwise! It shows that 30 years of experience can bring a lot to the table, even in the modern cloud world.

#

The hyperscalers built good offerings for the beginnings of the cloud, for the applications of the time that reside in the cloud. However as we see more enterprise style long lived applications arrive in the cloud, the requirements shift to performance and enterprise grade features that just weren’t there, we struck on that and have bridged a gap early on that will have a lasting legacy

Shameless plug... If you're new to ANF and want some more info on architecture, here's a walkthrough I did earlier this year: https://youtu.be/6p0joMfJmgY

In our previous video, we went over the history of Microsoft's Azure NetApp Files and brought you up to speed on the latest developments! In Part 2, we're diving one step further and breaking down the architectural constructs and components of both Azure and ANF that you need to know when putting it into practice.

NFS 4.1 MP (Session trunking) is now supported? It wasn’t from an ONTAP side in the past if I recall it correctly. Sorry if it’s already said earlier I missed the beginning

opal yarrow
#

There was some conversation about session trunking in the beginning, but I'll ask to clarify when there's a break.

autumn marsh
#

Many thanks @opal yarrow

opal yarrow
#

Anytime, great question!

autumn marsh
#

So with 9.12.1 we can finally use NFS 4.1 😀

opal yarrow
#

So, ONTAP 9.12+ is your answer

dusky ore
#

Is it ok to use the auto FabricPool policy for NFS datastores if the S3 Server is another ONTAP System on-prem? (maybe even on the same switch as the AFF performance tier)

cold geyser
#

it all depends on how much data goes cold and when it needs read. Of course being in the same DC reduces the risk of perf issues

autumn marsh
#

Do you see vVols being used in the field?

dusky ore
#

so it goes through your NetApp switches

wispy marsh
#

Flexgroups also potentially open you up to the same types of cascading VM failures if you're spreading it across an entire cluster, No?

autumn marsh
#

I wouldn’t do it personally and I think the answer regarding risk management was very good 👍🏻

Adoption typically comes alongside a standardization on SPBM policies.

#

Otherwise, most are still just "kicking tires"

Fair point @opal yarrow

Regarding the JSON file for RBAC users for OTV: Pleeeaase provide a link or some guidance regarding how to get the JSON right INSIDE the System Manager user creation page (where you need to upload this JSON). Every time I do it you have to google to find out where on the OTV the JSON is hidden again...

#

for vVol I will await the new VASA provider 🤓

autumn marsh
#

Haha 😀 Same here, as all using MCC no one uses SRM 😀

dusky ore
#

🇩🇪 land of the metro

rose grove
#

I've probably done 100+ SRM installs over the years, it was used extensively in FlexPod installs I did

dusky ore
#

uhhh interesting

rose grove
#

I've done a lot of MCC as well, but people generally have service catalogues and assign only the highest tier applications to things like stretched-clusters, then do SRM for lower tiers etc

#

The three tiers I would generally deal with are: In-application HA/replication (SQL AG, Exchange DAG etc), then stretched cluster (MCC) for applications that need the uptime but don't offer in-application options, then SRM for everything else

autumn marsh
#

Main pain point is or was the price and an additional solution. Most customers have MCC for all or some SVM-DR. Even SM-BC from time to time

opal yarrow
#

MCC is also MUCH more popular in UK/EU than it is here in the States
