By default, the smartd
service periodically polls the drives in your compute nodes. You should disable this service on all compute nodes after you deploy NetApp HCI.
Steps
-
Using SSH or a local console session, log in to VMware ESXi on the compute node using root credentials.
-
Stop the running
smartd
service:/etc/init.d/smartd stop
-
Prevent the
smartd
service from starting at boot:chkconfig smartd off
-
Repeat these steps on the rest of the compute nodes in your installation.
