9.7P12 vs. 9.8P4 ??
by Brian Parent 14 Jun '21

14 Jun '21

We're at 9.7P12 now. I've got a day or two to decide whether to jump to 9.8P4, and stay there. Our AFF8020 apparently isn't qualified for 9.9RC1. I'm retiring in two weeks, and the crew I'm leaving behind (sorry, not sorry), doesn't have experience upgrading NetApps. They plan to leave it as is until they can decommission it in 6-12 months. It seems like a good idea to move to 9.8P4 due to the openSSL bug fixes. Any horror stories about 9.8P4?

Expanding Raid groups to grow an aggregate
by Fred Grieco 25 May '21

25 May '21

Toasters, I am setting up a new A400 that came with 3.5 disk shelves (3 shelves with 24 disks and one shelf with 12 disks), for a total of 84 disks. Setting the partitioning bit aside (I think I have that right..), I configured raid group sizes of 20, two groups each into two aggregates, one on each controller. This uses 2 x 2 x 20 or 80 disks and leaves 2 spare disks on each controller, which are actually 4 partitions per side spread out on the SSDs. There will be an issue if we order SSDs to fill the half shelf. There would be no way to add these disks to the existing aggregates and not have really lopsides RG sizes. But if I expanded each of these raid groups by 2 or 3 disks and added the new disks manually, it would work out great. Is this the best practice for adding disks? Wouldn't that scheme leave data "stranded" on the existing disks? Does this matter even with SSDs in light of the performance per disk. Thanks, Fred

2node system, migration to a new box?
by Sami Kapanen 21 May '21

We have 2node FAS2520 (no switches). How to migrate SVMs to a new cluster? Want to preserve CIFS server names and IP addresses. Last time we used 7MTT to do the migrations.. is there similar tool for cluster mode migrations? br, sk

4 node cluster - only two nodes coming up
by John Stoffel 18 May '21

18 May '21

Hi all, We're in the middle of hell, where our 4-node FAS8060 cluster was shutdown cleanly for a move, but only one pair made it onto the truck to the new DC. Luckily I have all the volumes snapmirrored between the two pairs of nodes and their aggregates. But now I need to bring up the pair that made the trip, figure out which mirrors are source and which are destination on this pair, and then break the destination ones so I can promote them to read-write. This is not something I've practiced, and I wonder that if I have volume foo, mounted on /foo, and it's snapmirror is volume foo_sm, when I do the break, will it automatically mount to /foo? I guess I'll find out later tonight, and I can just unmount and remount. I think this is all good with just a simple 'snapmirror break ...' but then when we get the chance to rejoin the other two nodes into the cluster down the line, I would asusme I just have to (maybe) wipe the old nodes and rejoin them one at a time. Mostly because by that point I can't have the original source volumes come up and cause us to lose all the writes that have happened on the now writeable destination volumes. And of course there's the matter of getting epsilon back up and working on the two node cluster when I reboot it. Along with all the LIFs, etc. Not going to be a fun time. Not at all... And of course we're out of support with Netapp. Sigh... And who knows if the pair that came down won't lose some disks and end up losing one or more aggregates as well. Stressful times for sure. So I'm just venting here, but any suggestions or tricks would be helpful. And of course I'm not sure if the cluster switches made it down here yet. Never put your DC on the second floor if there isn't a second freight elevator. Or elevator in general. Sigh... John

Change local user SID
by Jeff Cleverley 11 May '21

11 May '21

Greetings, Is there a way to change the SID of a local NetApp user account? We have some instances where we archive old data from a primary cluster to a secondary cluster. We use local accounts instead of domain in many cases. We create the new local account on the secondary NetApp, but we now have a user account that shows as a SID and not as the actual user name. If we use SnapMirror, it tramples the top level permissions and we have to add the new local account permissions for the tree. It is obviously an inconvenience and not a deal breaker.
