Snapmanager Exchange - Archived Backups with OnCommand (DFM)
by Roth, Jürgen 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

Hello, my Name is Juergen Roth and I´m a Systemadministrator for Windows Server and Netapp Filers. We have two FAS3040 as a HA-Cluster. On the „primary“ we have a qtree with a Exchange LUN. This LUN is a RDM for the one Exchange Server. We use Snapmanager Exchange for Backup the Public Folder and Mailbox Database (only one Databse). We take the OnCommand Server for a Data Protection Job and archive the Snapshots from the „primary“ to the „secondary“ filer in a extra volume only for the Data Protection Job. Another Server hast he Snapmanager Exchange with SingleMailboxRecovery (SMBR) for doing restores. On all Servers we have the same Versions of SnapDrive and Snapmanager Exchnage. Now the Problem: The Snapshot Backups on the „primary“ filer can directly opened with SMBR. The archived Backups On the „secondary“ filer can not opened directly. Following error message comes: [cid:image001.png@01CF379C.6B1DBA90] We can manual mount the Snapshot in SnapDrive and then we can starting SMBR for using this Mount. But thats not the way, because our IT Service should do restores.

Flash Pools, without the Flash?
by John Stoffel 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

So I got a price quote on Netapp's Flash drives that you stick into a Flash Pool and having my eyebrows rise off my forehead. Of course Netapp's prices are/were no worse than EMC's prices for single SSD drives, etc. Basically crazy expensive in both cases. Now I'm entertaining the silly idea of just using a mix of SAS and SATA drives in a flash pool instead. Get *some* of the advantages, but lots cheaper pricing. Esp using those big fat slow 4Tb drives in the dual drive sleds. Front them with a bunch of SAS disks and it should do quite nicely. God knows there shouldn't be any technical reason this can't work, it's just a matter of moving blocks from one raidgroup in an aggregate to another. But the Netapp technical sales guy was surprised by the suggestion. I'm loving the transition of SSDs into the enterprise space, because it's forcing all kinds of changes on the vendors that are long overdue. Just putting a pair of mirrored SSDs into a server is a big boost. Using it to cache is good too. What do others think? John

Hi all, strange request maybe. What could convince a customer to migrate Documentum data from an old Centera to a NetApp FAS? And this knowing that Centera has ad added value... Regards, Giacomo Milazzo Sinergy SpA Rome, Italy

RE: Flash Cache

Sorry, I just realized I wasn’t specific enough (not enough coffee yet this morning). I’m specifically thinking about the 3220 and 3250. You can’t use the cards that worked in the 3210 and 3240 in them.

Supressing certain DFM alerts
by James Andrewartha 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Hi, In Operations Manger (OnCommand UM 5.2) I have an alarm set to email me on all error or worse events. This works fine, however I have an OSSV host at the end of a lossy satellite link that sends me host/host agent down emails all the time. Is there a way to suppress DFM alerts for a particular host? Thanks, -- James Andrewartha Network & Projects Engineer Christ Church Grammar School Claremont, Western Australia Ph. (08) 9442 1757 Mob. 0424 160 877
