filer CPU usage - resolution?
by Ambrose_Earle＠shamrockfoods.com 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

That was it. The DOS program was performing "search"es of hundreds of files in one directory. The problem became noticeable because the purge of the filers in that directory has been failing, allowing the files to accumulate. Again, the filers still have an issue handling search and the problem still occurs, but it is much less noticeable now that there are only a few dozen instead of a few hundred files involved.

CIFS Open Files
by Drew O'Donnell 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

We have an issue with open CIFS files on one of our filers. I would like an easy way see who has a specific file open and how to kick them out. Currently I use lock_dump command, but for some reason this will not run through RSH, so I can not redirect the results to a text file that I can search. Help, Please.... Drew

filer CPU usage - getting warmer
by Ambrose_Earle＠shamrockfoods.com 13 Jul '02

13 Jul '02

Armed with the above information, the next step was to perform some packet traces to see what I could find. Thankfully (?) the problem is continuous, so I could time my traces to only capture the spikes and I could wait until late in the night to limit the extraneous packets as much as possible. Doing this a bunch of times I was able to isolate what seems to be the problem. However, correlation does not imply causation, it merely points a finger in its direction. I won't really know until Monday when I'm able to stop the process to see if the spikes disappear. Because the traffic flows over a vif, I can only capture the entire vif and not an individual interface. I also do not know how our 6509 was configured, so I can't attempt to calculate over which port the traffic from this client would be directed, but the amount and type of traffic leads me to believe that I have found the culprit. This particular application server runs a program within a DOS on a Windows 98 PC. It sends hundreds of search requests at exactly the same time as the CPU spikes. Researching this shows some related bugs - 35047 or 40348. If this is the problem, then I'll see what can be done about the application. If nothing, then I'll be opening a case. Thanks to the personal replies I received from NetApps.

After digging deeper, it seems that the spikes correlate perfectly with the "driver" process for e3c. e3c is part of a four-way trunk group running to a Cisco 6509.

filer CPU usage

I'm trying to track down a repeated CPU spike on one of my filers. About every 30 seconds, sysstat will show the CPU usage at or near 100%. There is no pattern to this other than the length of time between spikes. What are some common things I should look for? What commands might help me track down the culprit? Here's an example: 96% 86 733 0 819 378 1054 36 0 0 0 30 100% 0% - 2% 95% 62 609 0 671 357 819 1106 16 0 0 30 100% 0% - 15% 32% 80 597 0 677 532 363 1352 0 0 0 30 100% 0% - 17% 9% 47 750 0 797 1209 715 2960 0 0 0 30 96% 0% - 37% 11% 36 777 0 813 1310 1597 5564 16 0 0 30 97% 0% - 55% 5% 102 876 0 978 940 1837 296 0 0 0 30 99% 0% - 11% 2% 59 165 0 224 370 403 16 0 0 0 30 100% 0% - 1% 15% 27 504 0 531 53 228 744 7108 0 0 30 100% 29% T 25% 11% 45 827 0 872 1222 559 56 68 0 0 30 100% 7% : 4% 1% 81 102 0 183 367 764 0 0 0 0 30 100% 0% - 0% 1% 39 79 0 118 38 166 32 16 0 0 30 100% 0% - 2% 3% 32 345 0 377 128 216 768 0 0 0 30 96% 0% - 15% 9% 159 756 0 915 310 1122 6048 0 0 0 30 98% 0% - 72% 10% 371 543 0 914 1764 2896 2660 16 0 0 30 98% 0% - 34% 1% 127 85 0 212 1122 729 16 0 0 0 30 99% 0% - 1% 1% 24 67 0 91 183 179 4 0 0 0 30 100% 0% - 1% 2% 248 101 0 349 69 177 56 16 0 0 30 100% 0% - 2% 2% 144 104 0 248 100 476 0 0 0 0 30 100% 0% - 0% 18% 18 156 0 174 383 297 2345 5569 0 0 30 100% 30% T 29% 5% 38 350 0 388 102 239 1376 2300 0 0 30 100% 18% : 21% 6% 374 262 0 636 148 582 3504 0 0 0 30 94% 0% - 39% 5% 80 236 0 316 231 1251 4724 0 0 0 30 94% 0% - 41% 4% 0 266 0 266 396 2253 3128 16 0 0 30 97% 0% - 27% 1% 37 97 0 134 245 609 0 0 0 0 30 100% 0% - 0% 1% 53 83 0 136 155 275 0 0 0 0 30 100% 0% - 0% 1% 76 82 0 158 57 151 48 16 0 0 30 100% 0% - 1% 2% 57 169 0 226 38 343 8 0 0 0 30 100% 0% - 1% 2% 179 167 0 346 170 311 28 0 0 0 30 99% 0% - 3% 8% 50 310 0 360 205 670 6068 16 0 0 30 97% 0% - 54% 11% 130 406 0 536 530 1192 4612 3260 0 0 30 98% 31% T 60% 8% 27 768 0 795 184 1086 3748 92 0 0 30 98% 10% : 35% 43% 64 500 0 564 190 949 3836 16 0 0 30 100% 0% - 21% 92% 46 677 0 723 1178 1455 3383 0 0 0 30 100% 0% - 21%

SNMP Support for Filers
by Ben Rockwood 11 Jul '02

Hello Toasters, I am working on some new apps for monitoring and reporting on my Filers, however I'm running into a roadblock because I'm only using SNMPv1. Does OnTap support SNMPv2c? If so, how do I enable it? I can't seem to find any options for it. Thank You. Ben Rockwood

Drew, I went into filerview and created a snmp trap for a failed fan. I new what the normal values were and I knew what the abnormal values were. I found out this information by viewing the two files found in /etc/mib. I inverted the values in the SNMP trap by using a normal value to send the trap on. Once it sent the traps and I was finished testing I changed the trip value back to normal so I'm watching for a failed fan or cpu. For example if the normal state of a fan is value=0 and the failed state value=1 I changed the trip value for testing purposes to 0 and then once the testing was over I changed it back to watch for 1.

You should receive a "STATUS: Normal" message (at least I hope normal is the status on you system) every round hour. The system sends it when at the same time it writes the message to the console. If it doesn't try the following: Snmp traps enable Snmp init 1 This should generate a bunch of messages also if snmp was not initialized. You can also run 'snmp init 0' and then 'snmp init 1' and see what happen.

Mark (or anyone on Toasters), Where do you configure the "trip value"? Also, I have a normal trap setup to go to my SNMP host, but I am not getting alerts, especially when we have QTREES set up to alert us when a QTREE gets to 90%. I have had some QTREES exceed 90% and never was alerted.

NT/filer slowdown
by SMAILBEGOVIC D ext OCISI 09 Jul '02

09 Jul '02

Some of our users in a large NT/filer environment experience a huge sporadic slowdown (20 min OK, 5 min slow) when a filer or NT BDC work with distant DCs through the secure channels over WAN links. Symptoms: windows explorer frozen, save as... in Word frozen/slow, filer share mapping lost, logon impossible, etc. Please tell me if you have experienced the similar problems... Can it be related to the WINS, DFS or some other configuration? Regards, Deni Smailbegovic
