Netapp and VMware... It's all so confusing!
by Timothy Hollingworth 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

So, say for example, I want to virtualize an Exchange server. Lets also say that I want to manage it via Snapdrive and SME. Lets also say, just for the heck of it, that I want both the new front-engined Acura NSX as well as the Porsche RC3. The cars aside, I would have to run iSCSI from within the VM, install and use Snapdrive from within the VM to provision LUNs, install Exchange and then use SME? It seems kind of silly to use iSCSI from within a VM if the ESX box were fiber attached to the … [View More]

02 Dec '09

ok, scratching my head here... I just upgraded the new SMVI 2.0 with file level restore.. HURAYY.. Its only been a year, but I guess you cant rush perfection.

Some disks showing as 0.0GB 0B/sect (Found in scan)
by Keith Howlett 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Hi, I am in the final stages of decommissioning a pair of FAS3020 filers and have been running the disk sanitize commands to erase all our data before the systems go back to NetApp (trade in deal as part of the purchase of a FAS3140) . They are no longer on support so I can't open a case with NetApp. During the execution of the disk sanitize command to clear the final few discs it hung at 9% completed, and would not proceed beyond that. All activity on those specific disks had ceased. If I … [View More]

vif create on the fly
by Steve Losen 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

I am going to create a vif using two interfaces (e0a and e0c). The IP address of e0a is going to be the IP for the vif, e0c is not in use. I was hoping to do this without shutting down, and disrupt connections on that IP for just a few seconds. Do I need to "ifconfig down" e0a before running "vif create" ? For speed and accuracy, I will put the commands in a file beforehand and run it with "source". The switch is configured, but I have to move the cables to the configured ports. Should I … [View More]

SMVI Experiances
by Raj Patel 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Hi all, Now our controller upgrade woes have been sorted I can start to play with the new stuff on our 2050. One of those is SMVI. Unfortunately as we're not on vSphere (and our ESX hosts aren't up to 3.5 update 4) we'll be sticking with v 1.2 of SMVI until we upgrade our ESX infrastructure to v4. Anyone out there willing to share their experiances with SMVI ? It looks fairly simple to configure and get going but just as I was about to schedule a few backup jobs I thought I'd trawl the net … [View More]

Determining the current 'snapmirror throttle' value?
by John Stoffel 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Guys, Does anyone know how to determine what the current setting of 'snapmirror throttle N destination' actually is? I've tried looking at the output of: snapmirror status -l snapmirror throttle We're looking to dynamically throttle and un-throttle connections, and it would be nice to confirm what the actual setting is without have to guess and just set the value blindly. We're running 7.2.6.1 and moving to 7.3.1.1 soon, or something newer. Thanks, John John Stoffel - Senior … [View More]
