ICMP Fragmentation Needed requests not being honored?
by Ray Van Dolson 26 Sep '12

26 Sep '12

Troubleshooting an issue with SMTP mail delivery for autosupport on an IBM N6240 (FAS 3050 I believe). Mail conversation starts up but then never succeeds fully. Mail server just shows a reset or that the NetApp dropped connection. Ran pktt during the SMTP conversation on the NetApp side and saw that we were receiving ICMP Fragmentation Needed messages (requesting MTU 1400) from an upstream router. However, the NetApp continued to send its data at full frame size (1500 bytes - overhead or … [View More]

Hello, i installed OnCommand Insight Report and create some reports in Cognos. It is possible to create a report with multiple Querries (in Cognos)? I don't find a way to merge my custom querries into one report. I have one report for every Querry at the moment. Any documentation or tips are welcome! greets Steffen

trying to upgrade a netapp simulator in anticipation of upgrading tungsten
by Randy Rue 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

Hey there, We're running a NetApp simulator running 7.3.5 and have connected iSCSI clients that we've upgraded SnapDrive on to 6.4. Now we're ready to upgrade the simulator to 8.1.1. I was under the impression that upgrading a simulator meant shutting down the simulator and running the new version's simultator installer, where it would sense the previous install and upgrade it in place. But a look at the NOW site shows only a VMware appliance for 8.x, looks like the approach has changed? Is … [View More]

Upgrading SnapDrive without reconnecting LUNs?
by Randy Rue 22 Sep '12

22 Sep '12

Hello All, We're preparing to upgrade a v3170 running 7.3.5 to 8.1.1 and will first need to upgrade a number of SnapDrive clients to 6.4 or higher. Our DBA's are testing the SnapDrive upgrade and so far have been unable to do so without needing to recreate all their connections (essentially the iSCSI disks mounted in the SQL cluster go away and they need to reconnect to the LUNs). Is there a better way to do this? Seems like in a perfect world, we'd just run some .exe to upgrade SnapDrive, … [View More]

limit concurrent de-dupe processes?
by Randy Rue 18 Sep '12

18 Sep '12

Hello All, I'm searching through previous stuff looking for this but hoping someone will know it offhand. We're struggling with a v3170 running 7.3.5 that has a number of volumes being deduped automatically when their changed blocks hit 20%. You may know that the SIS process is a good example of a process that relies heavily on the Kahuna namespace and tends to hit one CPU hard while everything else stumbles. Do I remember correctly that there's an option somewhere that limits the … [View More]

CIFS with Unix sec. style and recent MacOS 10 and MS Word
by Steve Losen 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Hi Toasters, We are sharing a Unix sec. style qtree to (at least one) MacOS 10.7 client via CIFS and they are having problems saving files with MS Word. The client writes the new file to a temporary file and then fails to rename it into place. The temp file exists and is correct because we can verify this from a NFS client. A Unix sec. style share appears to be a VFAT (not NTFS) volume to a CIFS client. Under the hood the filer enforces Unix permissions, of course, but all that is hidden … [View More]

Getting actual file paths from lock status
by Dan Finn 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

We are having an issue on 2 linux servers that we think may be related to locking. Lock status shows many locks that are GWAITING, like so: NLM[crater.pp.bcinfra.net,13260]: 94691143974912:18446649382565576704 1 GRANTED (0xffffff02c3600e00) NLM[carlsbad.pp.bcinfra.net,679]: 71133248356352:18446672940461195264 1 GWAITING (0xffffff02aa227428) NLM[carlsbad.pp.bcinfra.net,682]: 71107478552576:18446672966230999040 1 GWAITING (0xffffff0423515230) NLM[carlsbad.pp.bcinfra.net,684]: … [View More]

ipspaces vs static net routes
by Fletcher Cocquyt 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

Hi we are running 8.1 on our 3270 clusters with 17 vfilers on 5 different vlans The vfilers currently share the same default IPspace and we are (understandably) seeing routing issues (asymmetric routing) when NFS clients outside the vFiler's vlan attempt to communicate with the vFiler. (these clients are the exception > 95% of clients are in the same routable net and don't have any issues) What are the opinions about adding new IPspaces vs just adding 5 static net routes to the shared … [View More]
