Is there a 7-Mode simulator still available, in particular one with 8.2.5P4? I have a handful of 7-mode systems left and would like to still have a test system if needed, but would need P4 to mitigate the netlogon issue that will occur in February.

Node IP 172.16.28.132
NFS 172.16.28.135
Client 10.24.78.111
Current Status is follows

Is there any way to reduce size? or it needs to continuously adding disk?
Can I remove working aggr disk?
I want to add disk to vol0. At this moment, storage pool have no disks.
For this purpose, I want to get disk from another aggrgate.
Is it available?
From seeing the NetApp document, failed disk is written but I cannot found working disk.

Is there any official document to change these parameters?
It seems exist in various forum discussions.
Thanks in advance
