Brand new tech report: Multiprotocol NAS Best Practices in ONTAP

I don’t like to admit to being a procrastinator, but…

In actuality, I started that TR in March of 2017. And then again in February of 2019. And then started all over when the pandemic hit, because what else did I have going on? 🙂

And it’s not like I haven’t done *stuff* in that time.

• FlexGroup Best Practices
• EDA Best Practices
• FlexGroup Data Protection
• LDAP in ONTAP
• NFS Kerberos in ONTAP
• What’s New in ONTAP 9.8
• Tech ONTAP Podcast

The trouble was, I do multiprotocol NAS every day, so I think I had writer’s block because I didn’t know where to start and the challenge of writing an entire TR on the subject without making it 100-200 pages like some of the others I’ve written was… daunting.

Topics include:

• NFS and SMB best practices/tips
• Name mapping explanations and best practices
• Name service information
• CIFS Symlink information
• Advanced multiprotocol NAS concepts
