Dump
by David McWilliams 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

I know this is a little 'non-NetApp' related, but please bear with me. I am in the process of trying to troubleshoot a Veritas NDMP backup problem on a filer. I have been asked to try using the dump command on the filer to see if I can backup successfully, thus taking NetBackup out of the picture. I would appear to have an NDMP three-way config, is using the dump command to check this config valid? -- Sláinte, David Get a safer, faster, better web browser @ http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

clarion cx3-20 vs. netapp
by Willeke, Jochen 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Hi toasters, has anyone a clue to which netapp modell the clarion cx3-20 can be compared?? I have read an older toasters-post where it is put in the ring with a fas270c. Is this really a good competitor? What do you think? Best Regards and thanks for your opinion Jochen

Cifs ACL reporting
by Jon Hill 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

We have a requirement to audit our cifs share security on a monthly basis. For my windows servers I use a vbscript leveraging WMI and the Win32_LogicalShareSecuritySetting. The filers don't respond to the WMI calls, so I thought I'd use plink to execute a cifs shares command. The problem is the formatting of the output of that command is atrocious - basically machine-unreadable. If I grep for "Domain Users," for example, I miss the shares that the group has access to. Plus the description field is usually separated from the path by a single space, which means there's no way for a script to tell where the path ends and the description begins (our paths include spaces). FilerView produces exactly the same output. I thought DFM might help but after reviewing the documentation it doesn't look like it applies. Has anyone come up with a good way to generate a useful (preferably tab-delimited) report on a filer's share permissions? If not I can ignore the description and path fields and kludge together the output I need. I was just hoping for a better way.

nfs not working until cifs terminate
by Willeke, Jochen 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Hi toasters, today we had a strange issue on one of our R200 with 7.2.3 on it. The nstore was not serving nfs at all. There was no messages in the logs and the r200 was feeling quite well doing some cifs-ops and some other stuff. We really had no clue what was going on and support was confused, too. The only idea we had was to reboot the system (although ontap is no windows, ha :D), so we connected to the console and started to shut down cifs first in order to shut down the system and suprise suprise, as soon as cifs termination was finished NFS started to work again. We then started cifs too and now everything is fine again. I am really confused how this is related. Has anybody ever had this effect or an idea upon this? Best Regards and thanks in advance Jochen

Hi, I'm new to this list, and my english is not very well... i've got some nfs problems, so i wan't to read some log's. With the option nfs.mountd.trace on the filer logs some stuff to /etc/log/ems, is that right? the ems log, looks like some pseudo xml, is there a special tool to analyze the file? are there other possibilitys to debug nfs on the filer?

Meanwhile i read the documents and it looks like ndmpcopy is the best option as i have limited downtime (3hrs total). I will also try out VFM and robocopy on the simulator. I would like to thank each one of you for taking time to answer the queries. We have ordered few more Filers and i hope to improve my knowledge of the netapp systems by then. If I get stuck somewhere, I now know whom to ask... :) Thank you very much.

copying qtree
by Lohit 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Hello experts, I am very new to the netapp world. Sorry if this has been answered already or if it sounds stupid.I have the following situation, What we have is a FAS940 with DS14MK2 shelves(3nos). There is a qtree "proj-CFD" which is 200GB in size and the containing volume is 500GB. The volume is 90% full. I have been asked to increase the space for the qtree to 400GB. Previous admin created the aggregate(Aggr1) with a raidsize of 8 and there are two raidgroups with 8disks in each raidgroup. I have three spares and adding these to the current aggregate would create another raidgroup of 3 disks and i will be left with 1 usable disk (we have raid_dp) and also i will have no spares left. But fortunately there is another aggregate(Aggr2) with a raidsize of 16 and there are 14 disks in that aggregate now. Now my question is, how can move the "proj-CFD" qtree to a volume in Aggr2 with minimum downtime and keeping all the ACLs intact(It is ntfs only). Thanks -- With warm regards Lohit

FS3040 FC ports
by Ed Reidenbach 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Can someone confirm that the FC ports on the motherboard of the FAS3040 are the same 2Gbit/s FC as those on the FAS3020? I know there is also 4Gbit/s but thought these were only available as a optional FC HBA in the FAS3040. Can you also confirm the type of FC ports on the FAS6070. Are they 2 or 4 Gbit/s FC? How do they compare to the motherboard FC interfaces on the FAS3040. Thanks Ed

VMWare/Netapp TR-3428 question
by Glenn Dekhayser 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Hi all, There's a VBS script in TR3428 that works with VCenter/VCB to do the hot snaps on quiesced VM machines/netapp volumes. I see that it calls the ssh command (as there is no rsh in VI3 I think). Question is, for the windows side, what's the best way to get an ssh client going? I don't think that plink works with this script, although I'm sure I could modify it to do so, but I'd rather use the ssh client that was meant to be used with the script. Is it openSSH?

The other responses you've got so far pointed out that QSM would be the best choice to move the data to a volume on another aggregate. But I'd like to point out that it actually is possible to add some of those spare disks to your existing aggregate aggr1 with raidsize 8 & raid_dp. First you need to bump your raidsize for that aggregate using the "aggr options" command. Next, when adding disks to your aggregate, use the "-g" option to the "aggr add" command to specify the raid group you want to add the disks to. You will need to use the "-f" flag to force this, too (and you shouldn't be doing this if you ever want to go back to ONTAP 6.2). Here's what it looks like on a simulator (I started with a raid group size of 4 for demonstration purposes only): filer*> sysconfig -r Aggregate aggrtest (online, raid_dp) (block checksums) Plex /aggrtest/plex0 (online, normal, active) RAID group /aggrtest/plex0/rg0 (normal) RAID Disk Device HA SHELF BAY CHAN Pool Type RPM Used (MB/blks) Phys (MB/blks) --------- ------ ------------- ---- ---- ---- ----- -------------- -------------- dparity v4.32 v4 2 0 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 parity v4.18 v4 1 2 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 data v4.33 v4 2 1 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 data v4.19 v4 1 3 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 RAID group /aggrtest/plex0/rg1 (normal) RAID Disk Device HA SHELF BAY CHAN Pool Type RPM Used (MB/blks) Phys (MB/blks) --------- ------ ------------- ---- ---- ---- ----- -------------- -------------- dparity v4.20 v4 1 4 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 parity v4.34 v4 2 2 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 data v4.21 v4 1 5 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 data v4.35 v4 2 3 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 Aggregate aggr0 (online, raid0) (block checksums) ... filer*> aggr options aggrtest nosnap=off, raidtype=raid_dp, raidsize=4, ignore_inconsistent=off, snapmirrored=off, resyncsnaptime=60, fs_size_fixed=off, snapshot_autodelete=on, lost_write_protect=on filer*> aggr options aggrtest raidsize 16 filer*> aggr add aggrtest -f -g rg0 1 Addition of 1 disk to the aggregate has been initiated.

Hi, I have a short snapmirror question for the experts... I try to set up a qtree snapmirror where the source is a snapshot (-s option) I couldn't find any example with a snapshot as source and every syntax I tried failed. The source should be a snapshot named snapshot.latest on volume testvol1. what I tried: snapmirror initialize -s snapshot.latest -S 3020:vol/testvol1/source_qtree 270:vol/testvol2/dest_qtree can someone please post an example with a snapshout as source... thanks a lot! cheers, alex

Bugs Online behavior/enhancement/bug
by Todd C. Merrill 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

So, I've been working with our SE's on trying to pick a new release to which to upgrade. I've also been doing my own research with the Bugs Online part of the NOW site. I either haven't figured out how it works, or the feature doesn't exist. If someone could tell me which one... :) Starting at the Release Comparison Tool: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/relcmp.on I click on one release and enter another (not on the pre-determined list). I leave "fixes" set (I assume this means "bugs") and choose the checkbox "Filter Bugs to list of watched bugs." Then I click "go." The result I get back is what confuses me. It only shows me 8 bugs. There are 47 bugs on my watch list. What about the other 39 bugs? Do I assume they are fixed in both releases (dangerous!)? Or, was there no state change of that bug in both releases (e.g., it is still *not* fixed in both releases)? It's ambiguous. I really want to know the state of all my watched bugs in both these releases. Feature enhancement request: The ability to get a table of my watched bugs for more than two releases. Bug report (?): After getting the abovementioned list of 8 bugs, if I click the "arrow" icon to sort by severity, it will show me ALL the bugs in those releases (more than 8, more than 47... more like a few hundred), not just the pre-filtered ones (that checkbox is still checked when I click the sort arrow). I would expect it to sort only what is shown. Until next time...

Change UNIX security to NTFS - ACLs?
by Roy McMorran 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

Hello all, I have a qtree that I wish to change from UNIX security style to NTFS. Experimenting on a test volume I've found that when I make the change the ownerships of all the objects are preserved*, and appropriate ACLs show up for the owners. However, Unix "group" and "other" privileges do not seem to get translated to ACLs. Before I can proceed I really need to find a way to duplicate the group-based permissions that existed on the Unix side. I've started hacking together a script using smbcacls (the ACL utility in Samba). The idea is to set appropriate ACLs for specific groups and "Everyone" based on what the Unix mode bits used to be. Still I wonder if there's an easier way. Has anyone had a similar "challenge"? *In our environment all Unix and Windows user IDs are identical. We use an LDAP back end for Unix authentication and for our Samba-based domain controller. This is 7.2.1.1 on a FAS3020 in case it matters. Thanks for any input. -- Roy McMorran Systems Administrator MDI Biological Laboratory mcmorran(a)mdibl.org

On ONTAP versions 7 that's menu choice 4. How well does this erase the contents? Is it all overwritten? How often? Or is it just a reformat of some kind that only rewrites the meta data? What does 'disk zero spares' actually do? One time, when I really needed to be sure the data was gone forever, I reformatted the disks to 512 bps an ran wipe on them (http://wipe.sourceforge.net/) TIA, -- Bert Kiers XS4All UNIX systeembeheerder, suspected terrorist

I've never understood that logic: If the disk is fully wiped, and "Safe Enough" to consider the data unrecoverable, then why restrict what you can do on that filer. You could always move the disk elsewhere (another filer, or a PC, or whatever) if you really wanted to try to get stuff back from it. Davin.

Increasing the size of disks in an existing array
by Bryano 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

Hi, I have 'inherited' several filers including FAS 270's and FAS 940's which only have 72GB drives and we are now running very low on spares and the company I work for is reluctant to buy another shelf, it has therefore it has been proposed that we remove a disk at a time from a volumes raid group and replace it with a larger drive (300GB) and then once the raid has recovered then remove the next disk and repeat the procedure until all the disks in the volumes raid raid group have been replaced with larger ones. My initial question is - is this possible and if so once all the drives in a particular raid group that makes up a volume have been replaced with larger ones will that show immediately as free space available in that volume or will we need to do something else to get the filer to see the additional free space? Thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Increasing-the-size-of-disks-in-an-existing-array-tf4… Sent from the Network Appliance - Toasters mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

snmp traps down/up-events
by Willeke, Jochen 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hi toasters, i have a strange issue which i was not aware of right now. We had a reboot of one of our nearstores these days and i recognized within our monitoringtool that we had only two events for the system: 1. system cold start 2. appliances is overall status changed to critical Plus is got an e-mail from the system saying REBBOT but this was too a few seconds after the "System Cold start" . But the suprising fact about that is, that we first got the cold start and then the critical event. Shouldn't it be the other way round?!?! I am open for any ideas about that :D Best Regards and thanks in advance Jochen
