you don't reboot Celerra just to reboot, you are either changing parameters that require datamover reboot or doing DART upgrade. From time to time Celerra will panic and reboot on its own.

My data mover uptime is 180 days.

it's recommended to reboot DM and we have any document.

same applies to Control Station, the only time it gets rebooted when you are upgrading DART (which also upgrades code on the Control Station)

who told you it's recommended to reboot it, why would ?

It means uptime does't matter for data mover. so what about control station.

Thanks a lot for ur update....

DataMovers should not be bounced w/o a clear reason. I have customers with 3 years uptime.

Back in the day (way back, NAS code 5.3 and earlier) there was a problem with Java memory leak on a control station where we used to recommend rebooting control station every month. But AFASK we are long passed that.

So, again, unless there is a clear reason -- no NAS components should be rebooted.

and you still support them running 3 year old version of DART ?

When the customer has a valid support contract -- absolutely.

Well, if you didnt upgrade your clients or network since the last VNX OS update ☺

Otherwise it really makes sense to run current software.
