NetApp Quick Learnings

• 16 TB's of raw storage per aggregate.
• Data not shared between aggregates.
• Always leave at least one spare disk in NetApp. If you don't, NetApp freaks out.
• A mixture of SATA and FC drives can be used in the same NetApp device. However, you cannot mix drives in an aggregate. They must all be the same type of drive.
• Min number of drives per array is 3, but drives can be added to expand the array.
• When creating an array, 2 drives must be used as parity.
