issues with 10G Ethernet.
by James Beal 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

I have a call open with netapp about this however I thought I would ask the list if anyone else has had similar issues. We have a cluster which is connected to our core via TOE-10G Ethernet (T320E-XFP). The problem we see is that the sometimes the netapp appears stop receiving any packets. I haven't done a packet trace while the problem is in effect as I have been a bit of a Muppet when I have noticed the problem as I had forgotten the rlm user name but I have made notes so next time it happens I will do a trace.. This has happened on both units in our cluster. We have replaced one of the 10gig cards and that has made no difference. Our networking people show no errors on the line cards. Power cycling the units brings the network card back. We have turned toe off on the cards and that appears not to make any difference to the reliability of the system. This has so far occurred 3 times which is really very poor. sysconfig -v 4 slot 4: Dual TOE-10G Ethernet Controller (T320E-XFP) Device Type: CT-31-1 Version Number: T3-SRAM1.1.0-BR1040-20-C0-FW4.6.0-DR03 Serial Number: PT3807035 e4a MAC Address: 00:07:43:05:13:ac (auto-10g_sr-fd-up) e4b MAC Address: 00:07:43:05:13:ad (auto-10g_sr-fd-cfg_down) ifconfig e4a e4a: flags=948043<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,TCPCKSUM> mtu 1500 inet 172.17.66.26 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.17.66.255 partner inet 172.17.66.27 (not in use) ether 00:07:43:05:13:ac (auto-10g_sr-fd-up) flowcontrol full

AIX Power/VIOS Flex clones
by Ken Williams 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

Anyone doing flex clones on IBM power5/6 PowerVM platform? I've created a clone of a LUN and presented it to the VIOS servers. The system doesn't see the new device. From my understanding its because they share the same PVID. My question is how can I use flexclone technology without taking down the LPAR to make a clone. __________________________________________________________ Ken Williams Storage Administrator, Business Technology Operations Sacramento Municipal Utility District E-Mail: kwillia(a)smud.org Phone: (916) 732-6744 Cell: (916) 240-4213

How to re-fail a disk to trigger autosupport?
by Adam McDougall 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

We had a disk fail in a shelf on a filer with expired support, which created a case at the time but it was closed without replacement due to lack of support on the filer. However, as part of the support agreement on a new cluster, it was in a shelf that would be covered when attached to one of the new filers. Now that we have that shelf attached to the new filer, all I get is: Mon Sep 22 17:18:22 EDT [hostname: disk.init.failureBytes:error]: Disk 0b.23 failed due to failure byte setting. I tried replugging the disk and all I got was the same message in the log. After the message in the log, the filer acts like the disk isn't present as per commands below. How can I trick it intro triggering an autosupport so my bad disk gets replaced? Thanks. > disk fail 0b.23 disk fail: Disk 0b.23 not found > disk show 0b.23 DISK OWNER POOL SERIAL NUMBER ------------ ------------- ----- -------------

Re: Identify traffic per IP address without using pktt

Thanks for all the answers. Most of these methods of obtaining information I as already familiar with, but it's good to know that I shouldn't be looking for a one-size-fits-all command at this moment. Best regards, Filip

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to revert to 7.2?

I've had the same problem. NetApp suggests: - Lookup the disks which show the error, - Reboot the filer and press ctrlC, - From the 1-5 menu, choose option 5 to boot into maintenance mode, - Clear the label on those disks by typing: label wipe <disk_ID> Note: For Data ONTAP 7.2, use label makespare instead of label wipe for new disks.
