RE: when to use minra ?
by Glenn Walker 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Without going too crazy into technical detail (statit counters), the easiest way has been to look at sysstat output: if disk reads are significantly higher than net out or tape backup (depending on the workload - ie, no reconstructs or reallocates running), then you could probably use minra. That type of fingerprint signifies that the disks have more reads than necessary. Some are ok but too many will cause performance problems. Beyond this, you can look at the statit and wafl_susp counters to determine things about disk fragmentation and I/O and readahead cache (respectively).

Does anybody have recipes or suggestions on how to work out if turning on minra will improve or decrease performance? Are there counters you can query in ONTAP that are helpful? Regards, pdg -- See mail headers for contact information. sts more data from the same file, the data is already in the cache so the response is faster. However, if your file reading pattern is completely random, then minra off may result in extra disk reads that are wasted because the client never requests the extra data read from the disks. Your reading pattern may not be as random as you think, however, and it is very unusual for minra on to be helpful. I have seen one situation where minra on was a win. On a FAS960c clustered pair and we had FC LUNs. The clients were Solaris boxes running Veritas. For performance we used Veritas to stripe a pair of LUNs, one LUN from each filer. We built a Veritas filesystem on the striped LUNs. As you can imagine, this thoroughly scrambled up file data because it was striped over two filers, somewhat defeating the Netapp read ahead strategy. We were storing email on this striped filesystem and so we had a very heavy read load. With minra off disk reads in KB/sec were about 10% to 20% higher than FC writes, indicating that the extra reads were probably going to waste. I turned minra on and the disk reads dropped to a little less than the FC writes. We have since switched from FC LUNS to NFS mounted volumes and turned minra back off.

Quota problems after a DOT 6.5.2 to DOT 7.0.4 upgrade
by jason.palmer＠ultranet.demon.co.uk 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Hi - I have recently upgraded from DOT 6.5.2 to DOT 7.0.4 on a number of FAS960c Appliances which are hosting vFilers After the upgrade, and a number of reboots for remedial work we have found that some of the explicit entries for user quotas in the vFiler Quota file were ignored, and the default user quota for the volume was applied. Has anyone else had any similar issues ? Can you point me in the direction of any known BURT ? Many thanks, Jason

RE: Exceeded the maximum allowed ssh sessions
by Jef Vandenbergen 21 Aug '06

I have currently a case running with NetApp concerning the same issue. You should try to find out which server has the hanging connections. Log in to the console (on the back of the filer) and do a netstat -an. Grep on denstination port 22. In my case it was the support console from netapp itself which caused the problem. Netapp support will run a script on the support console to kill the sessions. (is a known bug in the support console's software) The other only available option was rebooting the filer.

Latest versions of SME have added an optional disk space savings when combining the logs and SnapInfo directories together on the same lun, using NTFS Hard Links. This can be a great savings feature that answer youe requirement. SMSQL - As far as my experience goes, you have to back it up by design when using SMSQL - the SnapInfo is an integral part of the backup - so in a way - you can compare with backing up the backup catalog of a backup application - it's an additional information that you need to keep track of the backups, so that you can easily browse and perform the recovey. This is the reason you purchased it isn't it? So - if you care about disk space savings, you can still reduce the reservation amount unrelated to my discussion above - you will just have to monitor it more closely. Snapshots will continue to run, and SME and SMSQL will happily leave with that. By the way - most people tend to believe that an "aweful thing" happens if you reduce the space reservation and then a disk write cannot be accepted - but in fact what happens is that the lun is taken offline. It's downtime, but in a way it's a very simple one - you clean up some space, most likely by removing old backups (snapshots) and then take the lun online again, and you're up. Eyal.
