Remote backup hosting with ONTAP...
by Heino Walther 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

Hi there I need some suggestions to a setup where we will be hosing remote backup of other ONTAP clusters on one ONTAP FAS cluster. The clusters that needs to be backed up should be backed up are on separate VLANS and should be kept separate. So the plan is to create a SVM per system in its own VLAN. Trouble is that in order to setup a SVM-Peer you first need to setup a cluster peer… So I guess there are several ways to do this… 1. Create several cluster mgmt. LIFs (one for each VLAN) * Could this cause issues? 2. Create a firewall rule for the existing cluster mgmt. LIF so is can be reached from all the VLANs. I will also be using ipspaces for this because of security, and because there are two systems using the same IP range… Suggestions are welcome.. I somewhat lean towards option 1. /Heino Heino Walther<https://www.linkedin.com/in/heinowalther/> Beardmann ApS<http://beardmann.dk/> Jellingvej 9 - 7100 Vejle<https://goo.gl/maps/xQVPFMHXpXu> D: 7199 9060 M: 2075 7501 --

That is correct and wrong at the same time ;) You still cannot go directly from 9.3 to 9.7. I have heard you can load up 9.5 and 9.7 images and it will progress through: 9.3 -> 9.5 and then 9.5 -> 9.7 Still a double hop, but somewhat automated.

Moving a 4 node cluster in two pairs?
by John Stoffel 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Guys, We're getting ready to move our 4 node FAS8060 cluster to a new data center. As part of our due diligence, we're thinking that we would snapmirror the most critical business volumes between the two pairs. The idea would be that if the truck holding pair A+B doesn't make it for some reason, we can still bring up the cluster with nodes C+D and still have those snapmirrored volumes available to continue working. So my questions are: 1. Can I boot a cluster with half the nodes missing? I'm sure I can... 2. Has anyone else had to do this half assed method of shipping DR? Cheers, John

Admin access to CIFS shares
by John Adams 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Is there anyway to setup a domain user on the filer so that it has administrative access to all files under a cifs share (NTFS style qtree)? Backup Operator group? Backup Role (what privs would it need). The problem I'm trying to solve here is groups that remove Domain Admins from the ACL and lock us out. As Domain Admin.. I could take ownership and reset the ACLs.. but I would rather just have an account that has access regardless of the ACLs. This is for a 7-Mode filer. Thanks.

volume move perforance issues
by Heino Walther 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Hi there We are in the process of migrating from an AFF8060 to an AFF220. We have attached two CN1610 switches and we have started to migrate several volumes over… (NFS and CIFS) Because we want to do the cut-over in a service window we have done it with the command: volume move start -vserver vserver -volume volme -cutover-action wait We currently have 10 volumes waiting. Users has started to complain about poor performance… I think this is due to the fact that the volume move while in “wait” status does a snapshot every minute, and updates the mirror. (I can verify this with a “snapshot show”.. Is there a way to modify this, so that it does not update so often? Of cause when we get closer to our service window we would like to set it back to 1 minute again… There is a “volume move pause” but I would rather modify the frequency of the snapmirror updates if possible? /Heino Heino Walther<https://www.linkedin.com/in/heinowalther/> Beardmann ApS<http://beardmann.dk/> Jellingvej 9 - 7100 Vejle<https://goo.gl/maps/xQVPFMHXpXu> D: 7199 9060 M: 2075 7501 --

Motherboard Replacement on out-of-warranty filer
by Alexander Griesser 18 Feb '21

18 Feb '21

Hey there, we do operate a few EOL'ed devices in our labs (and as playground for the automation services, etc.) and from time to time, things break - very rarely, but they do. I do have quite some hardware on stock here and I'm all set for exchanging almost anything that can break inside a filer (from disks to shelves to backplanes, cables, fans, PSUs, NVRAM batteries, etc.), but changing the motherboard proved difficult. I cannot find a way to assign the old S/N to the new motherboard in order to be able to reuse the licenses we had on the (now dead) filer. License transfers to other serial numbers are also not possible without active support contract. Any idea how to make that happen?

interesting 9.3P17 & 9.5P5 bug
by John Stoffel 12 Feb '21

12 Feb '21

Just ran into an interesting bug in 9.3P17 (yes, I'm off support!) and another 9.5P5 system which I thought I'd share. Let's grab all the export policies on the system in CSV format to make it easy to parse: ntap1::> set -showseparator ","; export-policy show Vserver Policy Name --------------- ------------------- foo default WTF? That's wierd? Let's try something else: ntap1::> set -showseparator ","; export-policy show -fields vserver ,policyname vserver,policyname, Vserver,Policy Name, foo,default, Ah! Now we're getting what we want. Stupid annoying bug when you're trying to write a perl script to pull out data. Can anyone confirm if this is still there in the latest releases? Hmm... poking at it some more... I suspect I'm forgetting that you *must* specify the fields when changing the -showseparator to get easier to parse output. But I still think this is a surprising occurance, since it does include the field names, so there's no need to actually specify them in the output. Principal of least surprise and all that. Cheers, John

OnTap 9.6 vs 9.7

I've got an AFF8020 running 9.1P10 and wondering whether I should target 9.6P10 or 9.7P10 as the destination version. I'm aware that such an upgrade will require a hop to 9.3 first. I'm also aware that reversion can not skip a release, which is a little scary. I *really* hope I don't have to revert from 9.6 or 9.7 all the way back to 9.3 (3 or 4 hops). What I'm looking for is advice on 9.6p10 vs. 9.7p10. Any horror stories of either release?

7-mode upgrade mismatch
by Carl Howell 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

I have a 3240 cluster with node A running 8.2.5P5 and node B running 8.1.4P9. Node A was upgraded to 8.2.5P5 and giveback was performed from node B. Takeover of node B by node A was performed, and both nodes are now running on node A. But, node B was not upgraded to 8.2.5P5 before the takeover and now when we attempt to giveback to node B so that it can be upgraded, it panics. So, node A running 8.2.5P5 in takeover mode. Node B running 8.1.4P9 has been taken over by A. How can we get B upgraded to 8.2.5P5? Thanks, --Carl

Security Roles...

Hi I’m trying to create a local user role that allows login via the web GUI, and update the snapmirror relations, but not be able to delete them or any volumes for that matter… I thought this was a walk in the park, but somehow I run into the same issue… I start by creating a simple role: security login role ad -role ro -cmddirname DEFAULT -access all security login role create -role ro -cmddirname volume -access readonly I create a new user and assign the role: security login create -user-or-group-name rotest -application http -authentication-method password -role ro When trying to login, it fails like the password is wrong…. But why? I even tried to create a role identical to the admin role (basically just the first of the two lines above), and even twith that, it is not possible to login to the web GUI… I’m beginning to fear that you need to have the admin role in order to login to the web GUI… Can someone please confirm that this is true… I almost cannot believe it 😉 /Heino

Performance maxing out at 70k IOPs
by Heino Walther 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

Hi there We have a system that needs 100k+ IOPS but for some strange reason we cannot get past about 70k IOPS. The server is Windows VM on ESXi with two FC HBAs running 8G. (we have adjusted queue depth etc.) The server is connected to the NetApp via two Brocade 6510 switches. The clusters we have tested up against are an A300 with 24 x 7TB SSD. And an A700 with a mixed setup of shelfs (two disk loops with quad cabling). But even up against the A700 we cannot seem to get past the 70k IOPS. Now we have read about the concurrency on a NetApp system, where each volume is assigned a CPU core, which might be our problem.. https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Storage_Software/ONTA… Our storage setup is a volume with a LUN which is presented to the host, which then creates a VMFS as a datastore… We have tried to create two LUNs on separate volumes, and we can pull out 70k on each, at the same time… which seems to point towards the concurrency… But is there a way around this? We would rather not have multiple LUNs, but rather one LUN. Any input would be helpful 😊 /Heino

Converting HA into MC ?
by Heino Walther 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

Hi there Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to convert a normal AFF8080HA into an AFF8080SMC? (there is only one disk shelf attached) I can imagine I would need the following: * 2 x FCVI Cards * 1 x Empty AFF8080 chassis * 4 x QSFP to LC cables * 1 x disk shelf identical to current shelf First job is to install the FCVI cards, which can be done with a few failovers. Then we need to do a failover and pull out the downed controller and install it into the new chassis, and attach the two systems. We then need to change the chassis setup from the maint.-console. Configure the FCVI cards and do a giveback. .. … As you maybe can tell, this is just of the top of my head 😉 Has anyone tried this? The plan was to convert a running system without any downtime… then mirror up the aggregates, move the SVMs, and then convert back to a normal HA setup again… But won’t start this if there is a gotcha somewhere… and there is a somewhat high risk of that? 😊 /Heino

any free training options at all?
by Rue, Randy 18 Nov '20

Hello All, We're about to receive a new AFF-220 to replace our aged FAS and it occurs to me that my team could use an update in our general NetApp knowledge. But we have zero dollars available for training. Are there any free online training resources? Barring that, any good dirt-cheap ones? Thanks in advance, Randy (he/him) in Seattle

Florian, On upgrade you will see newly created custom policies. From my understanding service policies will replace both roles and firewall policies. However at this point (and I could be slightly incorrect) both the firewall policy and service policy will apply. I've done numerous upgrades and have not had to pre create these policies. You may however want/need to clean these policies up later. EG: custom-data-29990 data-core: 0.0.0.0/0 data-cifs: 0.0.0.0/0 management-portmap: 0.0.0.0/0 default-data-blocks data-core: 0.0.0.0/0 data-iscsi: 0.0.0.0/0 default-data-files data-core: 0.0.0.0/0 data-cifs: 0.0.0.0/0 default-management data-core: 0.0.0.0/0 management-ssh: 0.0.0.0/0 management-https: 0.0.0.0/0 This is yet another gripe on netapp making yet another option for lifs. If Netapp is listening, remove complexity dont add more. What did service policies offer vs roles and firewall policies? As with any upgrade, you should have a test environment to see exactly what is happening (maybe an old FAS2554?). Thanks!

Netapp upgrade from 9.5P10 to 9.7P7 - lif service policy
by Florian Schmid 17 Nov '20

17 Nov '20

Hi, I have to upgrade our netapp cluster from 9.5P10 to 9.7P8 and I read in the release notes about the "new" lif service policy. I also read, that lif roles, like we are using them for now, are deprecated in 9.6. My question is now, do I need to add a service policy to every lif before upgrading to 9.7 or can I do this later? Do I need to do this or does netapp it automatically, when upgrading to a release, which doesn't support it anymore? Thank you very much in advance. BR Florian
