I've seen for instance java going horribly wrong in that way. This is because when running the 'software install' / 'software upgrade' commands, you are sure the commands are run as the local admin on the filer (=root). When using CIFS to place/unpack the files, you usually are performing that action with the permissions of "whoever is currently running explorer.exe", which might be the cause of spending some extra after-office hours, and (most importantly) might cause you to miss dinner @ home. Actually, I don't quite understand why NetApp still uses this method in their upgrade advisors, IMHO, they have developed far better alternatives by now by way of the 'software *' commands.

SnapDrive for Windows & CIFS
by Milazzo Giacomo 08 May '08

08 May '08

Hi, this is a good question: must CIFS be licensed to use SnapDrive for Windows? I've never had the chance to perform some test but I think that the answer is "yes". And you know why: because SnapDrive for Windows needs to 'see' and 'reach' the volume where you create the LUN(s) by CIFS using a UNC path. It's also true that there a limited CIFS that permit to access to the administrative share C$ but, as example, when I've tried to upgrade a DataOntap using the windows package, without a full CIFS license, the unzip of data failed! So. Why customer ha sto spend money for an unused license if he needs only SAN functions. Regards

filer fail over times
by Page, Jeremy 06 May '08

How long should it take a filer to fail over from one head to another? When I force a failover (cf forcetakeover) from one head the other goes down for minutes. Here's what I see on the console. This is a new filer with very little traffic going to it and FC is not even set up yet, all NFS/CIFS. array01> cf forcetakeover cf forcetakeover may lead to data corruption; really force a takeover? yes cf: forcetakeover initiated by operator array01> Mon May 5 12:27:48 EST [array01: cf.misc.operatorForcedTakeover:warning]: Cluster monitor: forced takeover initiated by operator Mon May 5 12:27:48 EST [array01: cf.fsm.takeover.forced:info]: Cluster monitor: takeover attempted after cf forcetakeover command Mon May 5 12:27:48 EST [array01: cf.fsm.stateTransit:warning]: Cluster monitor: UP --> TAKEOVER Mon May 5 12:27:48 EST [array01: cf.fm.takeoverStarted:warning]: Cluster monitor: takeover started Mon May 5 12:27:48 EST [array02/array01: coredump.spare.none:info]: No sparecore disk was found.

toasterview_rrd -create fails - duplicate DS name error.
by chrisb1961＠comcast.net 05 May '08

05 May '08

Using RHEL Server 5.1 with: net-snmp-5.3.1-19.el5_1.4 Perl v5.8.8 built for i386-linux-thread-multi Connecting to a Netapp FAS3050 running 7.2.1 which is part of a cluster. ./toasterview_rrd -create fails with a duplicate DS name error. The output from the command shows a duplicate DS name for every one of our volumes. The command fails on vol0 because it is the first volume processed (I think that's why). See sample output below. Does anybody know why this is happening or more importantly what needs to be done to correct this error? Also, #./toasterview_rrd.pl -create myfiler2 -p /var/rrds fails exactly the same way using the other Filer head in the cluster. Interstingly, it doesn't report duplicate aggregate names, only volume names. And no.... there aren't duplicate volume names for every volume we have. Just thought I would head that question off now :-) --Thanks, Chris #./toasterview_rrd.pl -create myfiler1 -p /var/rrds *** ToasterView RRD Creation Selected *** Looking for NetApp Volumes on myfiler1 Found volume named: vol0 Found volume named: vol0 Found volume named: sql2 Found volume named: sql2 Found volume named: rtb Found volume named: rtb <snip> Creating Tosterview RRD Going to use command: /usr/local/bin/rrdtool create /var/rrds/myfiler1.rrd --start N --step 1200 DS:vol0:GAUGE:2400:U:U DS:vol0:GAUGE:2400:U:U DS:sql2:GAUGE:2400:U:U DS:sql2:GAUGE:2400:U:U DS:rtb:GAUGE:2400:U:U DS:rtb:GAUGE:2400:U:U <snip> ERROR: Duplicate DS name: vol0 An error has occured: Return Value 256

Autosupport messages triggered by UPS SNMP trap
by Joel Krajden 02 May '08

02 May '08

Our filers monitor their UPSs. Anyone know of a way to stop autosupport from sending the tarballs every time our ups experiences a flicker or does a self-test. Anyone else that would like the filers to be smarter when monitoring two or more UPS so that if one UPS fails but the other still is providing juice not to perform a halt. -- | Joel Krajden | Rm: EV-7105, Tel: 514 848-2424 3052 | | Core Technologies Mgr | | | Engineering & | Email: joelk(a)encs.concordia.ca | | Computer Science | | | Concordia University | In a circus, the clowns are supposed | | Montreal, Canada | to make you laugh, not cry. |

Netbooting a FAS3040 issues
by Adam McDougall 02 May '08

02 May '08

We are trying to netboot a 3040 because it has no root volume yet. We downloaded the netboot image for 7.2.4, put it on a local webserver, used ifconfig in the boot loader to assign an IP and told it to boot off the http image. According to the webserver logs it was fetched, but the netboot client never finishes, printing dots (........) forever, we let it go overnight. We'll open a support case soon if needed because we need to get this rolling, but does anyone have any tips? Thanks.
