RE: R100 Performance Problems
by Alan McLachlan 04 Feb '03

04 Feb '03

Hi Frank, The issue is possibly one of expectation... The R-100 is, after all, intended to be a "near-line" device. Certainly, the CPU, RAM and NVRAM figures are far below what would be normal for a production "on-line" Fibre Channel based filer of similar capacity. Having said that, the performance should be at least better than a tape array. There are several configuration issues that may affect networking performance to the box. Do you have any specific figures? At least, run a "sysstat 1" during a busy period, capture some of the output and post it. Unfortunately (and probably for marketing reasons), NetApp have chosen not to post SpecSFS figures for the R100, which setting expectations a little difficult. -----Original Message----- From: Frank Marxs [mailto:fmarxs@mail.com] Sent: Tue 4/02/2003 11:21 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Cc: Subject: R100 Performance Problems I'm working with a customer who just got an R-100 and the performance is much less than we expected. I'm wondering what type of performance other people are experiencing with their R-100, or for that matter with other similar low-cost drive storage options.

From: NZANGA JOSEPH MOBUTU Attn: Managing director/CEO DEAR Sir, I am the first son of the late Mobutu Sese Seko, the former President of the Congo Republic. I am presently under protective custody in South Africa as a political refugee. I got your contact during my search for a stranger that can cooperate with me in this mutual transaction. I want you to note that this business will benefit both of us. However, you must confirm your ability to handle this because it involves a large amount of money. The money (28 million US DOLLARS is my share of my father's estate. I boxed and shipped the money to a security company abroad at the peak of the war/political crisis that rocked my country few years ago. Now the crisis has ended and I need a trustworthy person like you to proceed to the place of the security company in order to clear the fund and invest on my behalf as I don�t want my name to be used for now. Note that I will send to you the relevant documents that will enable you take possession of the fund for onward investment for our mutual benefit. All I need from you is as follows: 1.A letter of commitment (dully signed) that you will keep the transaction strictly confidential. 2. Your confirmation of your ability to handle this. 3. Your international passport or driving license number for identification to the security company. 4. Your telephone and fax numbers for communication. 5. Your full permanent address. As soon as I get the above information from you, I will disclose to you the name and the country of the security company. I will forward your name and particulars to the security company to enable them contact you accordingly. I will also send to you a LETTER OF AUTHORITY to enable you clear the fund on my behalf. Note that this is a very safe transaction as this money is my share of my father's estate. i am waiting for your response to enable us proceed. Regards, NZANGA JOSEPH MOBUTU.

RE: Netapp crashed, back up now but it thinks a bunch of disks ar e "o ut-of-date"
by Daniel Finn 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

I do not believe the volume was full, I believe it was around 90% usage. I have tried upgrading all of the disks firmware, it says they are all already up to date. How can I take the filer down to run HW diags? -----Original Message----- From: Simon Probert [mailto:Simon.Probert@gen-i.co.nz] Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 6:13 PM To: 'Daniel Finn' Subject: RE: Netapp crashed, back up now but it thinks a bunch of disks ar e "o ut-of-date" OK. If the disk count in the sysconfig -d matches your physical number of disks you have installed, and it looks like it has, then you have a single volume failure. Ontap writes label information to each disk, hence the ability to plug the disks in anywhere and the filer will find the disks and form the volume. You are using an FC card in slot 4 (not the onboard FC) which if it can see all the disks is pointing to a volume corruption problem and not a hardware problem. To be sure you could take the filer down and run HW diagnostics?? Was the volume full?? Have you tried upgrading all the disk firmware?? I have found the following bug reports on the NOW site.

DataONTAP and Solaris 8 NIS Update
by Brent.Killion＠pinnaclewest.com 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

Toasters- A rather interesting update for everyone on the problem I posted yesterday with an 880c and FAS960c clusters that refused to bind to a Solaris 8 NIS server. Just to help us isolate the problem between OS and NIS, we initialized a Solaris 2.6 system, as a NIS slave to the Solaris 8 NIS server that we couldn't get the filers to bind to. Surprisingly, the FAS960c bound with no problems to the Solaris 2.6 NIS slave. To us, this rules out a configuration issue with the NIS domain itself and focuses the problem back to an apparent Solaris 8 NIS/DataONTAP incompatibility. I was somewhat surprised that no one replied that they are using Solaris 8 NIS with DataONTAP. I have updated the tech support case I have opened with both Sun and NetApp and I'll keep the list informed as the solution moves along. Thanks, Brent Killion

RE: OnTap 6.3.1 and cifs setup problems.
by Kumar, Rahul 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

Hi, Yes I agree to the problem you are facing. Try creating an account for the filer in the domain. wait for the replication to happen and thenm run cifs setup. You shd be fine. But i assume that the filer by running cifs setting even when the account is not precreated has the ability to create a computer account for itself. You can find that option in the gui mode of admin http://<name_of_filer>/na_admin. Also pl check with your admins if you are a member of account operators (just a guess). FYI, If the win2k domain is in native mode, then your best bet would be to downgrade to 6.3, run cifs setup, join the domain and reupgrade to 6.3.1. Actually there is a i feel so, a bug in version prior to 6.3 in which the filers cannot join to the native win2k domain using fqdn eg abc.rest.com. I doesnt just understand the native doman properly. It shd be a problem. We have done this on our couple of filers to make em properly talk to Win2k native domain. Hope this helps... I think netapp shd do something about it. Right ..! -----Original Message----- From: John Stoffel [mailto:stoffel@lucent.com] Sent: Fri 1/31/2003 8:36 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Cc: Subject: OnTap 6.3.1 and cifs setup problems. Hi, I'm having a problem getting an F760 with NFS/CIFS running OnTap 6.3.1 to actually talk to our Win2K domain properly. I'm assuming it's a priv problem on the PDC side, but I don't know enough of how to fix it. Basically, whenever I try to run 'cifs setup', it fails at the end with the following message: Could not create Active Directory account for the filer: No such object CIFS could not create server machine account. But I'm supposed to have the privs with my account to add this machine into ActiveDirectory. Has anyone else run into stuff like this? And does anyone have any hints on what I need to do on the Windows PDC to give myself the privs I need to get this done?

Hey Toasters, I have a F810 that has 14 36G hard drives and a fiber gige interface which goes to a gigabit switch. I have a PC with dual AMD 2400, with an Intel Pro/1000 card going to the switch. The PC runs RH 7.3(2.4.20-ac2) To test out the performance of the F810 and the Gige card on the pc i was copying some large files from the netapp to /tmp on the pc. This is sysstat 1 on the filer when copying 2 600 MB file at the same time.

My question(finally) * The NetApp CPU % busy when copying 2 files doesnt seem to be as high when copying 1 file. The Net KB out dont seem to be as high either ? This seem contrary to intuition. I am not expecting to see double the CPU % and double the Net KB out...i would like to atleast see it higher. :) Thanks.

Solaris 2.8 NIS and DataONTAP
by Brent.Killion＠pinnaclewest.com 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

Toasters- Has anyone seen any difficulty in getting a F880c running 6.2.2 to bind to a NIS domain running on a Solaris 8 NIS master? We have an F880c that plays very nicely when bound to a NIS server running Solaris 2.6. We built a new NIS domain, with a new name, running on Solaris 8 but the F880c systems refuse to bind to the new domain when following the standard DataONTAP commands. We're pretty confident that the new NIS domain config isn't the problem as we have 75 other Solaris systems of the flavor of 2.6, 7, and 8 bound to it with no problems. Here is the relevant portion of the snoop output when snooping the interface on the NIS server. I see the call from the filer "filer2" to the NIS server "dvniss" but the NIS server refuses to answer it's bind request. This just repeats over and over every time the filer sends a bind request. {root}on dvniss< snoop filer2 Using device /dev/dmfe (promiscuous mode) filer2 -> dvniss NIS C DOMAIN_NONACK pwcorp filer2 -> dvniss NIS C DOMAIN_NONACK pwcorp filer2 -> dvniss NIS C DOMAIN_NONACK pwcorp Can anyone shed any light on what we may be missing? A search of now.netapp.com revealed no similar problems and Sun has validated our NIS configuration. Thanks to all, Brent Killion

RE: Problem with using ndmpcopy with a filer
by Michael Schipp 30 Jan '03

30 Jan '03

Hi Kyle, Below is the documentation from Ontap 6.3.1 - I would check you authentication {md5|text) - see below Copying data with ndmpcopy What ndmpcopy is The ndmpcopy command calls a filer-resident data migration tool that controls the transfer of file system data between filers that support NDMP v3 or v4 and the UFS dump format. The ndmpcopy command supports both full and incremental data transfers; however, incremental transfers are limited to a maximum of two levels (one full and up to two incremental). The ndmpcopy command can transfer full or partial volumes, qtrees, or directories, but cannot be used to copy individual files. ndmpcopy functions as a simple NDMP data management application (DMA) that performs data transfers by initiating a backup operation on the source filer and recovery operation on the destination filer. It establishes separate NDMP control connections with the source and destination filers, creates a single NDMP data connection between the filers, and initiates backup and recovery operations that result in the desired data transfer between the source and destination. Because ndmpcopy is an NDMP application rather than an NDMP server, it can be executed at the command line of the source filer, the destination filer, or a filer that is neither the source nor the destination of the data transfer. It is also possible to execute ndmpcopy on a single filer that is both the source and the destination of the data transfer. See the ndmpcopy examples, next, for more information on supported data transfer topologies. How to copy data using ndmpcopy To copy data within a filer or between filers using ndmpcopy, complete this step. Note The command can also be entered from a filer that is not the source or the destination. Step Action 1 Enter the following command: ndmpcopy [options][source_filer:]source_path [destination_filer:]destination_path options can be one or more of the following: -sa username:[password]--Source authorization specifies the user name and password to be used when connecting to the source filer. -da username:[password]--Destination authorization specifies the user name and password to be used when connecting to the destination filer. -st {md5|text}--Sets the source authentication type to be used when connecting to the source filer. -dt {md5|text}--Sets the destination authentication type to be used when connecting to the destination filer. By default, md5 is the authentication type used. The text authentication type exchanges the user name and password over the network in clear text. The md5 authentication type exchanges the user name and password over the network in encrypted form. -l level--Sets the dump level used for the transfer to the specified value of level. Valid values for level are 0, 1, and 2, where 0 indicates a full transfer and 1 or 2 an incremental transfer. The default level is 0. -d--Enables generation of ndmpcopy debug log messages. ndmpcopy debug log files appear in the root volume /etc/log directory. The ndmpcopy debug log file names are in the form ndmpcopy.yyyymmdd. -f -- Enables forced mode. This mode enables overwriting system files in the /etc directory on the root volume. See Example 5 for details. -h--Prints the help message. source_filer and destination_filer can be host names or IP addresses. Examples of the ndmpcopy command In these examples, network host names are used for the filers. ("myhost" is used for a local filer and "remotehost1" and "remotehost2" are used for remote filers.) If you specify host names when you use the ndmpcopy command, the filer running the ndmpcopy command should be able to resolve these names to their IP addresses. In UNIX, you can use the ping command to make sure that host name resolution works. Example 1: This command migrates data from a source path (source_path) to a different destination path (destination_path) on the same filer (myhost). myhost> ndmpcopy -sa username:password -da username:password myhost:/vol/vol0/source_path myhost:/vol/vol0/destination_path This shorter form of the command achieves the same purpose: myhost> ndmpcopy /vol/vol0/source_path /vol/vol0/destination_path Because you are running the ndmpcopy command on myhost and the source and destination filer are the same as myhost, you can omit the source and destination filer names on the ndmpcopy command line. When your ndmpcopy command is running on the same filer as the source filer or destination filer, you can also omit the -sa or -da options. Example 2: This command migrates data from a source path (source_path) to a different destination path (destination_path) on remotehost1. myhost> ndmpcopy -da username:password /vol/vol0/source_path remotehost1:/vol/vol0/destination_path The destination filer must be specified in this case, because it is a remote filer. The destination authorization is needed, but not the source authorization. Example 3: This command migrates data from a source path (source_path) on remotehost2 to a destination path (destination_path) on myhost. myhost> ndmpcopy -sa username:password -st text remotehost2:/vol/vol0/source_path /vol/vol0/destination_path The source authentication type specified by -st is text. The ndmpcopy command tool running on myhost will authenticate with the source filer using text authentication. Example 4: This command migrates data from a source path (source_path) on remotehost1 to a destination path (destination_path) on remotehost2. myhost> ndmpcopy -sa username:password -da username:password -l 1 remotehost1:/vol/vol0/source_path remotehost2:/vol/vol0/destination_path The -l 1 option is used to do a level 1 transfer. Example 5: Without the -f option, the /etc directory and its contents on the root volume of remotehost1 are protected from being overwritten with the /etc directory from myhost, preventing unintentional changing of the system characteristics after the root volume migration is completed. myhost> ndmpcopy -da username:password /vol/rootvol remotehost1:/vol/rootvol To overwrite intentionally the /etc directory during the root volume migration, use the -f flag as in the following copy. myhost> ndmpopy -da username:password -f /vol/rootvol remotehost1:/vol/rootvol -----Original Message----- From: kyle [mailto:kyle@source.intac.net] Sent: Thursday, 30 January 2003 5:29 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Problem with using ndmpcopy with a filer I know that this isnt the correct forum to ask about ndmpcopy, but I do know that some use ndmpcopy with their filers.

RE: trunking questions
by Alan McLachlan 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

Hi Patricia, The versions of Ontap you are running only support FEC ("fast ether channel") and GEC ("gigabit ether channel") - that's really all your switch guy should need to know. The filer maintains a seperate static MAC for each interface, rotating MAC's etc is a switch feature and has nothing to do with what happens on the filer (or any other server with FEC). In the case of CIFS connections (which bind to a MAC address) for your quad 100BaseT cards this means that each connection can still only acheive a theoretical maximum of 100Mbit/sec - your trunked "400Mbit" connection is the theoretical maximum aggregate throughput for 4 or more connections. So to make the most use of the trunk you need to have many concurrent client connections. What the forum message you were looking at was getting at is that several connected clients may end up bound to the same interface based on the timing of their connections and the ARP responses they get - this is why some switches with FEC support "spoof" the target MAC's to round-robin the packets evenly across the ports (since the FEC enabled server or filer won't care about which interface it receives data on. Also the author of that comment made a good point about routing - you need a FEC enabled switch between the router and the filer trunk to prevent all packets from that router hitting the same NIC. Data OnTap 6.2 and above support 802.3ad "dynamic link aggregation". If your switch supports 802.3ad you should upgrade the filers (providing your software support is paid up!) and use that method. Note that from the filer's perspective setting up an active/active trunk on 802.3ad is identical to FEC/GEC, however the switch configuration will be different. Hope this helps. regards, Alan McLachlan Senior Systems Engineer Storage Management Solutions ASI Solutions www.asi.com.au Ph +61 2 6230 1566 Fax +61 2 6230 5343 Mobile +61 428 655644 e-mail amclachlan(a)asi.com.au -----Original Message----- From: pdunkin(a)lucent.com [mailto:pdunkin@lucent.com] Sent: Wednesday, 29 January 2003 12:48 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: trunking questions First, thanks again to all who responded to my questions about migration to a new switch.

I have Filers in several locations. My newest installation has a noticeable DECREASE in performance. Of all the possible factors (OS version, network hardware/software etc..) the only common denominator is that all of my previous installations have filers with two PCI Fiber Channel Cards and the filers in the new location use One PCI Fiber Channel card and one On-Board Fiber Channel adapter. Are there any known issues with using the on-board Fiber Channel adapter vs. PCI Fiber Channel adapters ??
