How do I derive sysstat "Disk Util" percentage from SNMP data?
by Andrew Siegel 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

I'm trying to use SNMP to record the "Disk Util" percentage numbers that are given by the sysstat command. The MIB doesn't present this number directly. The sysstat man page defines "Disk Util" as "The disk utilization (percentage) of the busiest disk", but I can't find any OIDs from which I could derive this. Does anyone know what to read and calculate in SNMP to obtain this number? -- Andrew Siegel Head of Systems Blue Sky Studios, Inc. 44 South Broadway, 17th floor White Plains, NY 10601 914-259-6336 direct 914-259-6500 main 914-259-6499 fax abs(a)blueskystudios.com

V-Series with NDMP backup
by Ammar Zolkipli 20 Dec '06

20 Dec '06

Gents, Let me first explain the overall layout. I've got a D2D2T design. Both primary and secondary filers are v-series, and snapvaulted. We have 16TB of CIFS home dir data volumes backing up to tape via NDMP. And the tape backup is on LTO-3 running at sustained throughput of 20mbps, (F**king slow, I know). Does anybody have experience how to speed up NDMP backup? At this point, the LTO-3 is shoe-shining as the minimum sustained throughput on that drive is 40mbps. And also, does anybody have any experience with NDMP to tell us why this is happening? Thanks

RE: Aggregrate snap reserve (again)
by Glenn Walker 19 Dec '06

19 Dec '06

I'm pretty sure that the aggr snap reserve is not needed for core dump - this is written to the 10% overhead space (or to spare drives, depending on how you've configured your filer), then when the filer comes back up and the 'savecore' is performed, it is written to the /etc/crash directory. As for the aggr copy command, that is news to me (you see how often I've used it). The one thing you did overlook: restoring an aggregate - not individual volume, mind you. This is the same concept as vol snap restore.

RE: Aggregrate snap reserve (again)

Core dump does not go into aggr snap reserve. During panic, core is dumped into a reserved area (the space chopped off by rightsizing) on one or more non-broken disks (outside of WAFL, since WAFL code runs in memory, which we might no longer trust depending on what went wrong and we're dumping it). During reboot, savecore (see the man pages and System Admin Guide) moves the core from reserved area to /etc/crash, where it can be picked up by the user or other process. I could be wrong about which disks it uses, but I'm sure it doesn't use aggr snap reserve.

RE: CF Disk Configuration Question
by Learmonth, Peter 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

This is completely supported. I would suggest putting loopback plugs on the unused ports. This was best practice on FAS900, but I'm not sure about FAS3000. The loopback plugs slightly improve takeover and reboot times by not having the filer wait for timeout on an open loop. LC loopback is X6521-R6 http://now.netapp.com/eservice/partDetails.do?partNumber=X6521-R6&produc tId=60420&rohsCompliant=R6 I know it says FAS270 on there, but it is used on any LC connector where loopback is needed. You can even use it to test Ethernet ports, although there is no value in terminating unused Eth ports. Enjoy! Peter -----Original Message----- From: Stephen C.

RE: iSCSI Cluster help

Yeah - the default SCSI timeout in windows is 10 seconds - that should be increased to at least 180 seconds as a failback could take up to 3 minutes. If you have snapdrive, it does this for you automatically. FYI - leaving it at only 10 seconds could be REALLY bad if you have a performance hungry application like Exchange (verification plus normal operation could create havoc with undersized spindle count).

Netapp NearStore VTL700 & EMC/Legato Networker experience
by John Stoffel 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

Hi all, Has any one else out there dropped a NearStore VTL700 (or other model) into an existing NetApp/Legato Networker environment? We're thinking about doing this, but we'd love to hear people's experiences with it. Currently, we have SDLT 320 drives connceted via SCSI to the backup server, which talks over Gigabit to the Filers and other clients. In the new plan, we've have FibreChannel connecting the Filers, VTL and Backup server, with the tape library connected to the VTL only. Some of our concerns how we're going to be able to restore legacy Networker backup tapes? Will the VTL handle tapes it doesn't know anything about and allow them to be imported? We're also thinking of finally making the move to NDMP as well from NFS backups, but we're quite concerned about the limitations of DAR (Direct Access Restore) allowing us to restore large chunks of NDMP backups without having to manually break it into chunks due to Networker/NetApp limits?

Mostly because my budget for this sort of thing is somewhere between zero and zero + 15%. I'm happy to hear about more expensive solutions for future reference though, just to know how other people deal with similar problems. For example, in the last 10 years, we've had to re-ip our entire networks four or five times, couple of times due to acquisitions, others because the network infrastructure team decided things would be better if we re-architected everything. I've also dealt with about 4 or 5 server room moves in the same time period.

NetApps 740 running 6.4.5. All of a sudden starting to get permission denied errors on some of our NFS shares from our Tru64 Unix servers, not all of them but just some of them. And with some other weirdness where we could go into the top level but then get permission denied when trying to list the contents. The messages file had the following: SamrGetGroupsForUsers: Exception rpc_s_unknown_reject caught. SamrCloseHandle: Exception rpc_s_connection_closed caught. and then had a bunch of the following afterwards: LsaOpenPolicy2: Exception rpc_s_assoc_grp_max_exceeded caught. SamrConnect2: Exception rpc_s_assoc_grp_max_exceeded caught. CIFS was working fine, but I couldn't hit the filer throught the Computer Management console on the MMC. I checked processes and auditing on the Unix side and couldn't tie it down to a specific instance. Though I hated to do it, we ended up rebooting to restore services.

RE: Max number of NFS deamons in a FAS270c
by Alan.McLachlan＠ipaustralia.gov.au 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

Hi Brian, Number of NFS daamons used by Data OnTAP on any NetApp filer is, and has always been, exactly zero. Note on all NetApp specsfs submissions (www.spec.org/sfs97r1): "NetApp's embedded operating system processes NFS requests from the network layer without any NFS daemons, and uses non-volatile memory to improve performance." Data OnTAP is not Unix, and is not even "based on" any particular Unix, despite a large number of CLI similarities. The microkernal is developed from the ground up as special-purpose. (i.e. this is not a "stripped down" or modified Linux or FreeBSD product like so many others out there). So you can't directly apply many Unix considerations for performance management to Data OnTAP.

SnapVault - Question on hourly vaults
by scott.belisle＠americas.bnpparibas.com 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

Hello all, We use a single SnapVault filer as a repository for 6 separate filers. With the nightly SnapVault schedules we are able to balance source filer connection limits by staggering the vaults in between 10pm-6am as the business requirement doesn't dictate a specific time for these to occur overnight. We would like to also move the hourly snapshot schedule to this SnapVault filer. However, the standard daytime snap schedule is at 8,12,16 for all filers, and it can't deviate. We have about 400 qtree's to vault so at 8am when they all try to vault at once I get lots of failures due to source connection limits. We can't stagger these times since the business areas all expect their snap to be from those specific times. We could keep the hourly's on the source filers rather than moving them to our SnapVault filer, but we would like to recoup that expensive FC disk for non-snapshot duties by moving the snaps to cheaper ATA on the SnapVault filer. Any suggestions? The retries are set at 2 and bandwidth is throttled at 100MB/s. Thanks!
