RCs are provided primarily to enable customers who want to start early on exploring the release for either new features or bug fixes, or who want to start testing the release before deploying it in critical production environments. NetApp may provide multiple RCs as is necessary to address specific issues found before the release becomes a General Availability (GA) release. NetApp Global Services (NGS) provides support for RCs.</p><p><br></p></span><div><div><div>On 23 Nov 2009, at 13:27, rishi pathak wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">If your netapp appliance has feasibility of exporting volumes as iscsi then you have a chance<br><br> <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 22, 2009 at 12:23 PM, muhammed navas <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:navasonline@gmail.com">navasonline@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="padding-left: 1ex; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8ex; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; position: static; z-index: auto; ">My company having multple cluters running on nfs. we would like to test lustre file system in our cluster. we are using Netapp for storage. i went through lot of lustre docs , most of them are talking about local HD storage(OST). may i know how can i implement lustre using Netapp as storage(OST)?<br> <br></blockquote></div></blockquote></div></div></div>
