		<title>Traditional volumes in Data ONTAP 7.0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Traditional volumes in Data ONTAP 7.0
In my previous entry I discussed RAID groups and aggregates in the context of flexible volumes.  For the sake of completeness, I am now going to discuss traditional volumes.  This should not be taken as an endorsement.  You should be using flexible volumes.  They have many significant advantages over traditional [...]]]></description>

		<title>RAID Groups and Aggregates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the course of teaching Netapp’s Data ONTAP Fundamentals course I have noticed that one of the areas that student’s sometimes struggle with are RAID groups as they exist in Data ONTAP.
To begin with, Netapp uses dedicated parity drives, unlike many other storage vendors.  Parity information is constructed for a horizontal stripe of WAFL [...]]]></description>

		<title>FAS2000</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a change of pace, I would like some feedback from users of the new FAS2000 series storage controllers.
For those who are unfamiliar with the FAS2000 series, this is NetApp’s new low end solution, filling a similar role to the FAS200 “shrunken head” series systems.  These are systems whose electronics are actually housed in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving Root</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You simulator is now usable, but you may have noticed aggr0, which contained the root volume (/vol/vol0) is raid type RAID 0.  This is a characteristic of the simulator as it comes from Netapp.  However, just like a real Network Appliance storage system, it is possible to move the root volume.  I [...]]]></description>

If you go to your web browser and enter the IP address of your filer you should see something like this:

		<title>NetApp Data ONTAP - Final Steps Simulator Disks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Your Netapp simulator is now operational, but there are still a couple of things to do.
As it sits, you have not configured the network.  The Linux window where you have been working is effectively the console. This is the window where you ran the command:
/sim/runsim.sh
This may be a window in your Linux GUI, or [...]]]></description>

		<title>NetApp Data ONTAP - Preparing the simulator disks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is where we left off. The install script prompted us through creating virtual disks that will be used by the simulator.

The install script leaves us with the instructions for starting the simulator, so let’s start the simulator with the command:
/sim/runsim.sh
(This may vary if you installed the simulator in a different directory.) You will see [...]]]></description>

		<title>NetApp Data ONTAP - Installing Your Simulator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Installing your simulatorOnce you have downloaded the simulator you are ready to install. First you need a Linux host. Earlier versions of the sim – before 7.0 – required Red Hat 7.1. They would not run on anything else. Since Data ONTAP 7.0 and later the simulator has run on every version of Linux that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strengths and Weaknesses of Your NetApp Simulator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’d like to get started with the Netapp’s simulator.  This is a very useful product that simulates a Netapp storage system.  I will be using it extensively in this blog so that even if you don’t have a Netapp storage system available you can still follow along.
What it is:
The simulator is a wonderful tool to [...]]]></description>
