Have you tried now.netapp.com? Assuming your array is under support, you should be able to get an account and get access to all of the technical documentation and other support items. NetApp support or your sales rep should be able to help you get an account if you’re having trouble.
Considering you weren’t aware of now.netapp.com and that NetApp pushes this pretty hard, I would HIGHLY encourage you to either pay NetApp professional services to come do the work or otherwise hire an experienced consultant to come do the work. NetApps are pretty easy to work on, but like anything, if you don’t know what you’re doing you could end up with big time data loss.
If you’re gong to run this and other arrays, do the following:
– Make sure they are under vendor support
– Go to the vendor’s training and learn how the things work
– When you’re not sure what you’re doing or have doubts, get someone that does know. This may cost money, but better than losing data and losing your job (and possibly jeopardizing others’ jobs)!
