NetApp Active IQ Gives You Advance Warning About Problems
Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Two primary uses: (a) identify problematic configuration issues on our NetApp clusters, and (b) generate upgrade guides when patching/upgrading.
Pros
- Makes us aware of configuration issues we wouldn't easily be aware of otherwise.
- Generates automated documents guiding us through patching and upgrades to prevent problems.
Cons
- The interface for generating upgrade reports could be improved.
- The interface for tracking problematic issues/configuration items in our clusters could be a little easier to follow and/or tweak as needed.
Likelihood to Recommend
Critical to use if you have any NetApp clusters in your environment. Use it to identify problems you might not otherwise know about. Also can be useful to generate upgrade reports in advance so you know about any special cases.
