nfsstat -l not in 8.1 ?
by Paul Letta 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

What happened to "nfsstat -l" on 8.1 ? I just tried to do this for the first time in a while.. "nfsstat -l" works fine on our 7.x and 8.2 filers.. Was it removed in 8.1..? I tried it with advanced commands turned on as well.

Re: IOPS Planning for the Deswizzle Process?
by Philbert Rupkins 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

Paul, Thanks for this tip. I cant find much about the wafl.deswizzle.enable option on the support site. I did find a document that says "This is a diagnostic mode option that should only be used as part of an action plan under NetApp Global Support supervision." I guess I'll be giving them a call. Did you find this option mentioned in another document somewhere? Quarterly, we refresh an environment on the remote side which involves promoting a (volume) snapmirror replica to a primary … [View More]copy of the data. I just want to make sure I am not going to shoot myself in the foot (from a performance perspective) with this option when we break a snapmirror replica and use the destination as a primary copy.

snapshots schedules and snapmirror for DR
by Rhodes, Richard L. 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

Since our filers are used for a document management system, backups (snapshots/snapmirror) are controlled by a host script which coordinates CIFS shares and Oracle DB backups, and DR transfers. Now, I've setup a general CIFS share (ie: a junk drawer) which uses "snap sched" for hourly/daily/weekly snapshots and snapmirror.conf to schedule snapmirror to a DR site. Q) When the snapmirror is broken and the DR copy of the share is in use, will the snap sched kick in and start working … [View More]

RE: snapshots schedules and snapmirror for DR
by Schneider, Stefan 05 Feb '15

The snapshot schedule is part of the volume configuration so it will start working automatically on the DR site if the snapmirror is broken off.

You’re right. CBC error. Computing Before Coffee. That said, is it generally kosher to mix speeds in any given shelf? RM From: Clark, André M.

Is there a prohibition on mixing 10k and 15k SAS in the same shelf? NOT the same aggr, just the shelf. Thx, RM
