A customer has a 10GB volume with an 8GB LUN that is using 7GB. The snapshot policy is hourly and retains 48 snapshots. After a ransomware attack that encrypts all files on the LUN, the customer notices that all snapshots are gone.
What could cause this behavior?
To move a WWPN from node1 to node2 in a NetApp ONTAP SAN environment where ALUA is used, you must take the Logical Interface (LIF) offline. Modifying LIFs involves changing their assignment between nodes, which requires them to be temporarily offline. This ensures that the path states are correctly updated without causing disruption to the SAN hosts.
