Snapshot policy disabled after clone creation
by Heino Walther 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

Hi there We have volumes that have snapshot policies (and snapvault relations). Every time a clone of the volume is created (thin provisioned), the snapshot policy is disabled for some odd reason. It then takes a few days for our monitoring system to pick up that something is wrong, we then enable the snapshot policy again, and it works again… The snaphot policy is SVM based (I think you are also able to do cluster wide snapshots policies?) But it’s quite annoying, and I was wondering if there were an option to stop this from happening? This is on ONTAP 9.7P7 but has been like this for several versions on ONTAP. /Heino

Rubrik - restores to NetApp -- Symlink Modtime not being restored
by John Adams 16 Apr '21

16 Apr '21

Hi All -- I have a question for others that are using Rubrik for backups.. I've noticed that when symlink's are restored.. they are restored with time/date of the restore.. not the time/date of the original.. For example: I moved test to test-hide and then restored test from Rubrik (overwrite original) . The restored Symlink has the time I did the restore.. not the original mod date. lrwxrwxrwx 1 uid gid 22 Apr 14 07:53 test-> /testfile lrwxrwxrwx 1 uid gid 22 Mar 29 2010 test-hide -> /testfile The backup was done with Netapp SnapDiff enabled. The NetApp is running 9.7P5. The Rubrik is running 5.3 Any others using Rubrik that see this? Thanks.

SnapDiff/Rubrik
by Steiner, Jeffrey 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

NDMP is a backup control protocol, but it's not a data format. Even ONTAP has multiple formats for NDMP backups. In the first release of NDMP, the backup was a near mirror of ufsdump, and it was pretty easy to restore an ONTAP backup to something like Solaris. You'd get some weird permissions, but it did work. The problem with ufsdump formats is the controller has to create the files and stream them off to the backup destination. About 10 years back, ONTAP added the ability to do NDMP backups using a snapmirror format. It was just the raw WAFL data, and it was WAY faster. It also meant that unless a system could real WAFL, there would be no way to use those backups. It was a nice option for full backups with a low chance of needing to be recovered, because recovery would requiring restoring the entire volume object that you backed up. Snapdiff allows a backup application to do incremental-forever backups. It could ask ONTAP to identify changed files from the previous backup and provide the list of files to be backed up to the backup app, which would be read from an NFS/SMB share. I didn't think NDMP was involved. Does the Rubrik documentation mention a NFS or SMB share path? If the ONTAP system went away someday, I would expect you could use a Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance in Azure or AWS to restore the data. There used to be some sort of limitation with NDMP and CVO, but I can't see why Snapdiff wouldn't work as usual on CVO. I'll ping a couple of guys...

restoring Rubrik backups of NetApp without a NetApp
by Brian Parent 10 Apr '21

10 Apr '21

What happens if I use Rubrik to backup a NetApp (OnTap 9.7P12) using the "backup with snapdiff" method, and I need to restore something after the NetApp has been decommissioned? The Rubrik docs specify that a NetApp NAS is required as a restore target to restore from Rubrik backups made using backup with snapdiff. So, if the NetApp has been decommissioned, can I run a simulator to restore from that backup? Other options? -- Brian Parent Information Technology Services Department ITS Computing Infrastructure Operations Group its-ci-ops-help(a)ucsd.edu (team email address for Service Now) UC San Diego (858) 534-6090

Removing files directly on filer?

Hello Fellow Toasters, I have several files that have an unusual characters in their names. Here are 3 examples. 99027496 -rwxr--r--. 1 fereyes sibyls 138284 Dec 17 2012 _Volumes_fereyes_Pm12_img12_data1_pxuser_cech3_px07-0106_Pm12_7_process_mr_AutoMR_run_9__combined_refine_001.pdb_Mon_Dec_17_151710_2012_modification_0.pdb.gz 99027497 -rwxr--r--. 1 fereyes sibyls 137894 Dec 17 2012 _Volumes_fereyes_Pm12_img12_data1_pxuser_cech3_px07-0106_Pm12_7_process_mr_AutoMR_run_9__combined_refine_001.pdb_Mon_Dec_17_151710_2012_modification_1.pdb.gz 99027498 -rwxr--r--. 1 fereyes sibyls 137467 Dec 17 2012 _Volumes_fereyes_Pm12_img12_data1_pxuser_cech3_px07-0106_Pm12_7_process_mr_AutoMR_run_9__combined_refine_001.pdb_Mon_Dec_17_151710_2012_modification_2.pdb.gz I would like to delete them. I have tried all the tricks I know of to delete them from the NFS client side including the usually-bullet-proof method of deleting them by inode: ls -li To get the inode then: find . -inum 99027498 -exec rm -i {} \; and this is not working. Is there some way to remove folders/files from the NetApp itself? Thanks, Scott

That sounds like a service processor issue I ran into it on a fas2650 and an a220 where the cluster ports would not link. Dropped to the sp and power cycled the node. As soon as I did that the ports came back Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef> ________________________________ From: Toasters <toasters-bounces(a)teaparty.net> on behalf of Brian Parent via Toasters <toasters(a)teaparty.net> Sent: Friday, March 26, 2021 3:38:39 AM To: Alexander Griesser <AGriesser(a)anexia-it.com> Cc: toasters(a)teaparty.net <toasters(a)teaparty.net> Subject: _______________________________________________ Toasters mailing list Toasters(a)teaparty.net https://www.teaparty.net/mailman/listinfo/toasters

NICs fail to connect after upgrade to OnTap 9.3P21
by Brian Parent 26 Mar '21

26 Mar '21

I upgraded our AFF8020 (2 nodes) yesterday from 9.1P10 to 9.3P21, as a first step towards 9.7P12. Unfortunately, the two 10Gb interfaces (e0c, e0d) on the second controller won't connect after the upgrade. It seems like a layer one problem, with no link lights on either the NetApp, or the switch side. Yet it seems unlikely that we have two physical paths fail at the same time, and too coincidental that it happened (apparently) during the giveback. And, reseating the fiber jumpers, as well as the SFP optics hasn't helped. Has anyone else seen anything like this? I've engaged (third party) support, but so far, no joy. I've tried shut/no shut on the switch side, (Cisco 9K) also tried the same sort of thing on the NetApp side (advanced mode: network port modify -node <nodename> -port <portname> -up-admin false, on both ports, then back to true) Also, the e0c and e0d were bundled into a if_group (a0a) on the NetApp side, and a VPC port channel on the Cisco side, (identically on both nodes, so the config seems fine since it still works on node1. I tried deleting node2's a0a, but that failed due to a lif having set it's home to that a0a. So, I migrated that lif "permanently" to the working node, and then deleted node2's a0a, and then tried the -up-admin=false/true trick again on the e0c and e0d ports, but still no joy. I noticed the MTU was set to 9216 on the Cisco side and 1500 on the NetApp side, but again, this is identical on both nodes, and is working on node1, so even though it looks suspicious, it's probably not the problem. I tried setting the NetApp side to 9000 (it didn't accept 9216), but that didn't help either. I thinking my next step is to delete node1's a0a, and remove the corresponding port channels on the Cisco side, then try swapping known good fibers and optics to the problem ports to which piece is the root cause.
