I believe that you can set the wafl priority per volume ------Original Message------ From: Kappe, Michael Sender: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Sent: Jul 15, 2008 01:19 Subject: volume deswizzling Hello toasters, i have several volume deswizzling processes runing. This is ok, why i copy the volume with snapmirror from one aggr to another. This volume deswizzling processes now running for more than a month. Now the question: When i stop the deswizzling with "wafl scan abort", can i restart them one by one to finish them a bit faster? What is the command? Doing a reboot will restart deswizzling for all volumes. This is not an option ;-) Regards Michael Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

I: Snapmanager Oracle for Windows schedule, how to?

14 Jul '08

Nobody knows about SMO? J I can't believe it... Da: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] Per conto di Milazzo Giacomo Inviato: mercoledì 9 luglio 2008 10.04 A: NetApp Toasters List Oggetto: Snapmanager Oracle for Windows schedule, how to? Hi all Few days ago I had a chance to install (first time) a Snapmanager for Oracle 2.2 on a Windows 2K3 hosting Oracle 9.2 db instances. No great issues understanting repository and profile concepts or creating backup jobs both full or partial. The issues arrived when, also using the wizard I expected myself to have some items to create a procedure to be scheduled using the Windows scheduler, exactly as done lot of times with SMSQL or SME. I looked for docs or best practice to create some job and to schedule it with no luck. Also reading at command line options it seems quite complex to create and prepare some command rows and to put them in some batch to include in the scheduler. Another strange thing is that once created a backup job with its label you cannot reuse it and it has to be recreated from the beginning. Is there something like that also in SMO? Where is it? Or, alternatively, where I can find docs that can give me some sample to schedule/repeat and so on the job created with SMO? Thanks a lot

CIFS virus scan
by Neis, Mark 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi guys, We have been using the Symantec scan engine for NetApp for several years now, but we've met more and more problems as of late. As the next license upgrade will be due in a couple of months, that might be a good opportunity to replace it by a different brand altogether. Hence my question to the list: Which antivirus product do you use and how satisfied are you with it?

multistore/vfiler and aggregate performance
by Roscoe P Coltraine 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

hi, i have a customer who will be using multistore/vfilers of random workloads all over nfs. my view for an overall performance perspective is two controllers and multiple raid groups per aggregate evenly spread. ie, if i had 5 FCAL shelves i could create 2 aggregates comprised of 2 16 disk raid groups spread across both controllers and all shelves however their budget can at max allow 4 shelves which would leave one aggregate with 2 raid groups, the other with one and more spares since i would not want to add a half sized raidgroup. the idea being that the vfilers would be split evenly across aggregates to better spread ops load across the drives but realistically will that gain better performance versus a single aggregate with 3 raidgroups spread across both controllers and all drives?

Re: CIFS virus scan

Andreas, > What are your problems? There are some tweaks you need to do then > it should be running of. We've been running it for years. We got two Win2003 servers as AV servers for each NetApp cluster we have. The trouble is not with the filers, but with Symantec. Not too rarely, an unsuccessfull virus update has left a scan engine in a dysfunctional state. As it can still be reached from the filer, it still gets its share of scan requests, which it promptly anwers with a 0x05 error. Moreover we've had some installation problems lately with newer versions of the Symantec scanners (We use standard HP servers, so actually there should be no problem at all). Besides, Symantec's support has grown so bad during the last two or three years, they are absolutely no help at all. Because our license period is about to end, we were thinking about replacing the Symantec scanners by a different brand, that's why I wanted to hear about the experience others have made with the alternatives there are.

Exchange iscsi luns and Snapmanager/SMBR without snapdrive
by Leeds, Daniel 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

asking the community while i wait on the official netapp answer. are either Snapmanager for Exchange or the Single Mailbox Restore products absolutely tied to or unable to function completely if snapdrive is not present? in short, this "easy to use" gui tool has wasted enough of our time already and I do not need anything other than the ontap command line and about 15 minutes to provision the proper igroups and luns requested by our Exchange admins and another minute to bring them up via the microsoft iscsi interface format them and put them under the microsoft cluster services control. one last tidbit, although assured this would work fine, any luns that were created from the filer were completely unable to be seen, utilized, or managed via snapdrive. they had to be deleted and provisioned through the snapdrive interface which is not familiar to us and not behaving as shown to us by netapp. even support seemed to be perplexed although it was indicated that perhaps this was due to the servers being 2008 Server and the snapdrive version 6. anyhow im only just clarifying if there is any fundamental dependency between snapdrive and the exchange snapshot tools. :) -- Daniel Leeds Manager, Storage Operations Edmunds, Inc. 1620 26th Street, Suite 400 South Santa Monica, CA 90404 310-309-4999 desk 310-430-0536 cell

ESH's laying around anyone ?

11 Jul '08

I have 3 DS14 shelves with LRC's and 72 gig drives in them. I'd like to move them to a FAS920 where I need space and add them to a loop of ESH/ESH2 based shelves. By any chance does anybody have 2 (or even 4) ESH's they are not using ? Would you trade my LRC's (if you need complete HW to surplus) for them ??? I'm in the Austin, Texas area but would pay shipping if need be. Thanks! -Bob

Backup Operators group on filer
by Willeke, Jochen 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Hi toasters, we are currently testing expand boxes to boost our cifs access from remote locations to our centralized Netapp filers. Sadly the expand boxes need to have access to the cifs files in order to replicate them to the remote boxes. When accessing files of course the normal user-rights of the user accessing the files are used. What i did is, i put the service-user into the "Backup Operators" group on the filer, but without success. When i try to replicate the cifs-shares i always get error messages that the user is not allowed to open the files. With the "Administrators" group on the filer it worked. But this is not an option in my eyes, as this right is too high and in case a user removes the "Administrators" group from a folder the expand box will fail to replicate this folder as well. Has anybody a good idea or even deployed expand boxes for cifs-acceleration with netapp?

Best Practices for Shelf Addition
by Daniel Keisling 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Greetings, I have a FAS3040 running 7.2.4 that is used primarily for LUNs over FCP. I balance most of the filesystems across four LUNs in two volumes groups spread across both controllers. I would like to add additional space, but was wondering if there were best practices in terms of buying two shelves at a time (like some other vendor's models) or if a single shelf is okay. Since I spread the space across both controllers, is it okay to distribute the disks on a single shelf to both controllers? Will this affect RGs or performance in any way?

Snapmanager Oracle for Windows schedule, how to?
by Milazzo Giacomo 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Hi all Few days ago I had a chance to install (first time) a Snapmanager for Oracle 2.2 on a Windows 2K3 hosting Oracle 9.2 db instances. No great issues understanting repository and profile concepts or creating backup jobs both full or partial. The issues arrived when, also using the wizard I expected myself to have some items to create a procedure to be scheduled using the Windows scheduler, exactly as done lot of times with SMSQL or SME. I looked for docs or best practice to create some job and to schedule it with no luck. Also reading at command line options it seems quite complex to create and prepare some command rows and to put them in some batch to include in the scheduler. Another strange thing is that once created a backup job with its label you cannot reuse it and it has to be recreated from the beginning. Is there something like that also in SMO? Where is it? Or, alternatively, where I can find docs that can give me some sample to schedule/repeat and so on the job created with SMO? Thanks a lot

Power considerations for FAS3050c
by Ray Van Dolson 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Hi all, I'm setting up a loaner FAS3050c which didn't come with any documentation (working on that issue right now), but am trying to gauge rack space needed and power requirements. Currently I have a FAS3050 controller (3U) and three DS14mk2 shelves loaded with FC disks. Rounding it out with a 1U Broacade Silkworm 3200 VL2. Going off specs on Netapp's site and elsewhere it looks like I can expect the controller to use a max of around 6.4 amps, but it's not clear if this is at 110 or 220. The DS14mk2's have a breakdown depending on the voltage -- 4.4 for 110 and 2.3 for 220. So, a couple questions: - Can the controller use 220? - Is the 6.4A rating for 110 or 220? Any thoughts on a working power configuration would be appreciated. TIA, Ray

Migrating Quotas
by Chris Muellner 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Has anybody migrated quotas from an existing Windows file server with DAS, using quotas through storage management in the MMC, to a NetApp using CIFS shares before? I know there's an export feature in the MMC in Windows, but I can't seem to get it to export into an decipherable format. There are currently over 1,000 quotas in place (some the same, many different) that we would really prefer not to have to redo all by hand. Any ideas? Thanks!

RE: filer to vfiler conversions
by Villabroza, Gerald 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

Because each vfiler needs its own ip address there may not be a way to unassign the ip from the root vfiler (vfiler0) and assign it to a vfiler (vfiler1) with zero downtime. You can certainly use a new ip for vfiler1 and make DNS changes so the old name points to the new ip. This isn't zero downtime, but depending on your DNS mechanics it can be very low. If you're running cifs on vfiler0 and want to move those resources to vfiler1 you have no choice but to take a short outage since cifs is stateful and the mac address will be different between vfiler0 and 1. We've been running multistore for over a year now and in most cases the vfiler resources are segregated from the physical vfiler0. If others have an idea on how to do this with zero downtime I'd be happy to be wrong. -=--=- gerald villabroza <geraldv at stanford.edu> technical lead, its storage, stanford university -----Original Message----- From: scott.belisle(a)americas.bnpparibas.com <scott.belisle(a)americas.bnpparibas.com> Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 8:23 AM To: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com <owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com>; toasters(a)mathworks.com <toasters(a)mathworks.com> Subject: filer to vfiler conversions Hi, Quick question for any multistore users out there.

Replacing Disk Shelves
by ifstat 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

Hi Toasters, A customer of mine has reached the limit on the FAS3050C, in terms of shelves and disks. So inorder to allocate additional storage space, we are replacing the 36gb disk with 300gb. However, we also need to replace the DS14, with DS14MK4 shelves becuase of better throughput between DS14 & DS14MK4. Can someone please confirm the proceedure of doing this without interuption. Logic says that: 1) Destroy any aggregates on the 36Gb disks. 2) Zero all spares 3) Remove ownership from the 36Gb disks 3) Disable the Cluster 4) Disable the FC HBA's that are link to the DS14 shelves that are being replaced. 5) Power cycle the shelves 6) Replace the shelves and repeat the above in reverse. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Replacing-Disk-Shelves-tp18170304p18170304.html Sent from the Network Appliance - Toasters mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Oliver pointed me in the right direction - After the email to check the preferred SAN address I noticed the SAN was connected via the Data VLAN and not the iSCSI VLAN. The DBA's had also renamed the server which meant the initiator was keeping the drive mapped but it was possibly affecting mounting the snaps – I disconnected and reconnected with an updated initiator name to match the new server name & reconnected on the correct VLAN and it sorted things out.

Re: Deleting files from snapshots
by Fox, Adam 26 Jun '08

There is no approved or unapproved way to do this. It's not possible. The closest thing you can do is to put a Datafort in front of the controller and encrypt everything. Then you can shred the keys that encrypted the files in question. It doesn't delete them per se but it makes them unreadable. -- Adam Fox ------------------------ Typed with my thumbs on a very small keyboard. ----- Original Message ----- From: Francois Joubert <francois.joubert(a)imagination.com> To: NetApp Toasters List <toasters(a)mathworks.com> Sent: Thu Jun 26 11:00:46 2008 Subject: Deleting files from snapshots Hi Is it possible to delete a limited set of files from all snapshots without having to delete every snapshot in which those files appear? If the official line is, "No", is there an unapproved way of doing this? Thanks Francois

SNMP netapp mib question
by Corey Hart 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hey Guys, So I have used toasterview in the past without any issues, but today I installed it at my new job and I have a question. When running an snmpwalk against the filer, and running the command uptime I see the filer uptime as DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (1664185295) 192 days, 14:44:12.95 But when toastview runs it pulls cpuUpTime for the system uptime shows as 9:23:36:01.60 So my question is what is the difference between cpuUpTime and sysUpTimeInstance ?

Dear Regmi, it's for my own understanding, as well as for those NetApp customer's being die-hard *NIX oriented and desire to understand what's configured in which config file and how. Stephen C. Losen answered by pointing me in the direction of Chapter 5 of the man pages.

Would like a list with a description/explanation of the /etc/ files - do you know if there is a such? What I'm looking for is something that would e.g. explain something like: *** /etc/rc - The /etc/rc file contains commands that the storage system executes at boot time to configure the system. Commands in the /etc/rc file configure the storage system to: - Communicate on your network - Use the NIS and DNS services - Save the core dump that might exist if the storage system panicked before it was booted *** I can of course begin to dig out the information from NOW, sysadmin guide etc., but would safe a LOT of time if such a list already exist. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Is-there-somewhere-a-list-with-description-explanation -of-the--etc--files--tp18075293p18075293.html Sent from the Network Appliance - Toasters mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
