thin volume with autodelete config and snapmirror
by Iluhes 07 May '13

07 May '13

Hi Folks, I am trying to setup a pair on thin volumes that will be used in snapmirror relationship I was going to use these netapp recommend volumes Autodelete Configuration guarantee = volume LUN reservation = enabled fractional_reserve = 0% snap_reserve = 0% autodelete = volume / oldest_first autogrow = off try_first = snap_delete So I did the following vol create vol1-s none aggr0 550g vol options vol1 fractional_reserve 0 snap reserve -V vol1 0 vol autosize vol1 off snap autodelete vol1 on vol options vol1 try_first snap_delete Does it play nice with snapmirror? Does snap autodelete can potentially mess up snapmirror? Thank you!

DFM user password reset.
by Jeff Cleverley 06 May '13

06 May '13

Greetings, We have a DFM server running 4.0.2. I have a remote user who can't log into the web interface. He is listed as a user and has global view permissions. He shows up in the dfm user list output. It appears he has forgotten what his password is. I've been looking around for an hour and can't figure out how to change his password so he can get into the web page. Where is it doing the authentication from? Thanks, Jeff -- Jeff Cleverley Unix Systems Administrator 4380 Ziegler Road Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 970-288-4611

AW: Enabling create_ucode on volumes afterwards
by Alexander Griesser 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hi Matt, thanks for your fast reply - in the manpages it says, that create_ucode needs to be on for FCP/iSCSI volumes - is that a wrong information?

Mai 2013 17:40 An: Alexander Griesser Betreff: Re: Enabling create_ucode on volumes afterwards You really only want it on for CIFS accessed volumes. One potential issue is with reading SnapMirror destinations without create_ucode being on, on both the source and destination volumes. You will get weird errors if not, and not be able to browse files at all on the destination.

Linux Host Utilities 4.1
by Peta Thames 02 May '13

02 May '13

Hi, Anyone have a dusty old copy of Linux Host Utilities 4.1 lying around? I need to build a test cluster with RH 4.6, and I know the real fix is to upgrade the OS, but there's a world of dependencies on the app running on these servers so we need a test cluster to be able to prepare for that. Thanks, Peta

Configuration Error Messages on FAS2220-Single Controller
by Alexander Griesser 02 May '13

02 May '13

Hi again, we are running a FAS2220 Single Controller at one of our sites which acts as a snapvault secondary only (so just for backup purposes, no high availability required). Since the system has been installed, I'm getting messages like this in /etc/messages: Wed May 1 23:00:00 CEST [netapp03:monitor.shelf.fault:CRITICAL]: Fault reported on disk storage shelf attached to channel 0a. Please check fans, power supplies, disks, and temperature sensors. Wed May 1 23:00:00 CEST [netapp03:monitor.shelf.configError:CRITICAL]: Enclosure services has detected an error in access to shelves or shelf configuration 0a. Config Advisor tells me, that there is just a single path to the disks which is correct and maybe the reason for these messages. The FAS2220 does not have any external disk shelves, just 12 Disks in the head. Since there is no second controller, I didn't do any external SAS cabling (like you do for the 2240 HA systems when there are no disk shelves attached), so what can I do to make this filer happy again?

Running on non-redundant power
by John Stoffel 02 May '13

02 May '13

Guys, We're in the process of starting to migrate from some 3140s running 7.3.6 to a 3220 cluster running 8.1.2, or whatever the latest release is. Going from 3.5 racks down to just 1 rack, woohoo! But I'm short of 30amp power plugs in my data center. So my plan is to drop one of my 3140s down to just two 30A circuits so I can bring up the 3220 cluster with fully redundant power. I know I need to turn off autosupport while this is happening, though I'd like to just turn off warning about power problems and keep auto support going for disk failures. Any suggestions or comments? Thanks, John

V-Series question
by Nail, Thomas E 01 May '13

01 May '13

All, I was wondering if anyone has any data or experience running a V-Series appliance in front of a DDN SFA-10K array. I understand that this configuration is totally unsupported (and there appears to be a significant amount of bad blood between DDN and NetApp), but I'm sure *someone* has tried it. Anyone want to 'fess up? Any horror stories? Thanks, -=Tom Nail

AW: Experience with sv-smvi?
by Alexander Griesser 01 May '13

01 May '13

Thanks, that drove me into the right direction – I was under the assumption, that some basic components are missing or failing here because I wasn’t even able to run it on the command line – my bad. I did now add –report and –reportdir to the script file which gets executed by VSC and am getting reports now, still not working but that’s because I’m using a private subnet for mounting the datastores which is not accessible from the VC server and am now playing with options (-svip, -noping, etc.). Will see how it goes, if it still doesn’t work, I’ll get back to you ☺ Thanks again for the hints!

Hi ， alex Looks your script is good, would you please try to run it with –verbose –report -reportdir switch to have more information for troubleshooting? Here is my example: C:\"Program Files"\NetApp\"Virtual Storage Console"\smvi\server\scripts\sv-smvi.exe -svuser root -svpasswd password -verbose -report -reportdir C:\NetApp\sv_smvi_log And please makesure you have your snapvault initializated and filer hostname written to your vcenter ‘s host file or your dns is configured correctly. And the script should trigger only within VSC(normally SMVI), it will need SMVI to transfer the volume name and snapname to the script, or it could run with nothing.
