ONTAP Build Process: Part 4 - Considering ONTAP Maximums

We've completed the basic cluster build and now we're considering our SVM design. Before we proceed we need to know what the design limits are. Here I'm just considering specific NAS maximums (that relate to this project.)

Note: All this information and more comes from https://hwu.netapp.com
