NetApp Disk Shelves

Five shape types, DS2246, DS4246, DS4486, DS212C,DS224C
- Separate shape variants for most popular disk combinations
- 24×1.2TB,4x400GB + 20×1.2TB, 2 TB, 4TB and so on
Shelf ID can be changed by using pull-down menu in Shape Data Window:
- Hint: if you want to enter 25 as shelf id click id pull down cell once and keep hitting “2” key until it displays “25”.
Original Netapp shape had only one type of disks per shelf
I’ve added new fields to shapesheet, so a shelf can contain one or two types of disks
- Only SSD
- Only HDD
- SSD + HDD
- SSD + SDD
  - mostly usable with AFF metroclusters where you might want to use smaller disks for root aggregates
Disk configuration can be changed
- - Number of Disks (HDD)
  - Disk Size (HDD)
  - Number of Disks (SSD)
  - Disk Size (SSD)
There is no validation check for the disk combinations, choose whatever you desire, just keep combined number of disks to max 24 (or 48 with DS4486)
- It might be a good idea to check from NetApp configurator / pricing tool which combinations are available for the setup you are planning
DS4486 no combo shelves, no ssd drives
Changes made in Shape Data / Properties is displayed in shape text.
Manually editing text field will break connection to shape data
