Hi,
We're starting to use snapmirror to help us migrate some data from old
to new filers at sites. We're also going to use it to setup from
snapmirror relationships across the WAN as well.
What we'd like to do is make one tape on the source side, then ship
that one tape to each of the destination sites, do the
snapmirror store <vol> <drive>
- ship to <dest>
dest> snapmirror retrieve <vol> <drive>
dest> snapmirror update -S <src…
[View More]>:<vol> <dest>:<vol>
- ship to <another>
another> snapmirror retriev <vol> <drive>
another> snapmirror update -S <src>:<vol> <another>:<vol>
Is this possible? It's not clear from the docs if you can do this.
Hmm, looking at the Data Protection Using Snapmirror documentation, it
looks like the base snapshot created by the 'store' command sticks
around, and could be used for other snap mirror relationships, since
it has to be manually deleted down the line.
Any clarification would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

I am after opinions / Pros and Cons on running a substantial VMware
infrastructure of approximate 200+ VMs using the 2 mentioned storage
systems.
Obvious benefits of the NetApp seem to be around the De-Dupe out of the
box. Any other thoughts / experiences would be appreciated
Fibre attached Dell R900s will be running the ESX side of things.

I have several NFS mount points that also have child directories also
exported and I've been told that you should export the parent
directories first, then the children. I've updated my /etc/exports file
and ran exportfs -r on the filer but it does not look like it's taking
effect if I do an exportfs to see what's currently exported. How do I
get the exports in the correct order?

Is anyone using de-dupe on a volume that does Microsoft Data Protection

If so is it worth it?

Agreed. I think my biggest issue is that I misinterpreted the documentation.
In the docs when it say's :
Go to the NOW site at http://now.netapp.com/NOW/main/software.shtml and
> download the version of Data ONTAP for your existing system that matches the
> version installed on the FAS31xx system.
>
I interpreted this as meaning download the version for your …
[View More]existing system
(3050 in my case) that matches the version installed on the FAS3170, which I
assumed meant the version number (7.2.6.1) in my case.
But..ya think you're reading "upgrade version" a little too...narrowly?
Yes, I guess I was.
How can Netapp prevent this chain of errors?
I would say by doing what you and I have both suggested. Amending the
documentation to unambiguously state what they really want to happen.
