As a track enthusiast who has taken his Model 3 Performance to the race track several times, I have been keeping a close eye on this space for quite some time. Since Tesla does not yet show any…
Intro Through my involvement in the local Tesla Owners Club, one topic that continues to come up is vehicle data logging. If you perform a quick google search you will see that there are many Tesla-compatible data logging tools out there with the most popular being TeslaFi, TezLab, and the Stats App just to name a few. This blog post will focus on TeslaFi not only because it is one of the more popular Tesla data logging solutions out there…
With the release of ONTAP 9.1 earlier this year it brought with it amongst many things NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE). This feature although offered $0 cost requires an additional license which needs to be generated by NetApp. On top of the NVE license NetApp also added a new license which is needed to enable the newly-integrated trusted platform modules (TPM). What is a TPM you may ask? By definition a TPM is, “A dedicated microcontroller designed to secure hardware by…

As folks adopt DevOps principals they are using common applications to help them get there. One of those is Docker and usually in the same sentence Kubernetes is mentioned next. To review, Docker is essentially a wrapper for Linux containers (LXC), which similar to FreeBSD jails or Solaris Zones, provides a method for applications (and their dependencies) to be isolated in separate namespaces all while sharing the host system’s kernel. Docker containers are extremely portable as they just need the…

One new feature in 8.2.2+ that hasn’t been given much press (thanks to Curtis @ NetApp U) is the ability to boot directly into the boot menu or maintenance mode from the loader prompt. This feature will mainly be helpful for field personnel who frequently setup up and build out NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP systems. See below for a list of commands that are required to boot a cDOT system into each respective area. Boot directly to the boot menu by…
Before I dive into Grafana I wanted to make a quick note that last week marked my 1 year anniversary at NetApp. This year has honestly flown by and it is hard to believe as it feels like just yesterday I started this new adventure with various unknowns. It has been a year full of change along with many new experiences which I feel have made me stronger, both as an individual and professional. I am thankful for the opportunity at NetApp…

Today is hump day and with that comes some added motivation to update this blog with some new material! The following post discusses another common topic and that is the termination of CIFS sessions in cDOT. This task could be performed in 7-mode however the commands have since changed in cDOT. Refer to the following tutorial below to kill any unwanted CIFS for a specific Windows user: Display the current CIFS session(s) for the user and record the value(s) in the “Connection ID”…
