mixing DS4243 and 2246 SAS shelves
by Fred Grieco 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Does anyone know the risks or reasons why you shouldn't mix DS4243 and DS2246 SAS enclosures in the same stack? We have an IBM N6040 (3140) which inadvertently has this configuration and is running without issue... TIA, Fred

8.1.1 loaded - disk firmware update included
by Fletcher Cocquyt 25 Aug '12

25 Aug '12

8.1.1 went GA today - decided to stage it on our DR 2240 Its rolling through some disk firmware updates now - how disruptive are these ? Will they add Disk IO when I upgrade my prod clusters? If its doing a raid group reconstruction for each, how are they so quick?

Good day. Search a lot, but found no any clue: is it possible to use ssh keys to log to SP instead passwords? Thanks.

Snapmirror within same controller
by Kevin Richards 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi, When you snapmirror on a single controller from aggr1 to aggr2, does it use loop back? And is there a limit on throughput then? Thanks Kevin

Re: DFM/OC5 database
by Scott Eno 14 Aug '12

Thanks for the response Pete. Are there any optimizations, best practices, scheduled maintenance I can do to make sure the DFM database is operating optimally? Is there performance differences between Windows Server or Linux? --- Scott Eno On Aug 13, 2012, at 6:53 PM, "Smoot, Pete" <Pete.Smoot(a)netapp.com> wrote: > No, it's not possible and never will be.

Our 6.0 release is a major overhaul of the OnCommand code and it's now technically plausible to swap database engines. It's not free for NetApp (we'd have to qualify some databases, figure out a support process, probably write some code, that sort of thing) so we're always trading off this versus other features.

DFM/OC5 database
by Scott Eno 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hi, Anyone know if it is possible, or will ever be possible, to use an Oracle database, or even MSSQL, for DFM/OC5? With our dependency on on it now for provisioning & protection I'd sure sleep better if I knew this thing was HA. Seems odd that SMO uses an Oracle DB to keep track of it's business, but DFM can't/doesn't. --- Scott Eno

DOT 8.1.1 CM and CIFS 2.x
by Milazzo Giacomo 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hi all, do you any idea about the "real" meaning of that "no" in the CM colum, last row? No "fpolicy" means as example that I can't use Enterprise Vault File System Archiving? Monitoring and scan features such the one offered by Varonis or Symantec Data Insight? File blocking policies suche the one offered by NSS or NTP QFS? All those software that use fpolicy? No "VSS" means that is not possible to access to the snapshot area of shares/foleders/files using the MMC? (right click, previous version ecc) This worries myself. Ciao!

Expand SATA aggregate or buy SAS disks
by James Andrewartha 10 Aug '12

10 Aug '12

Hi, We have a small metrocluster with 2TB SATA disks in DS14mk2 trays, mostly used for VMware. We desperately need more IOPs, and are tossing up another 14x2TB SATA tray, which would have the benefit of just expanding the aggregate, vs 12 of 600GB 15krpm SAS (half a DS4243), which would give more IOPs but be more admin overhead since we'd have to move VMs amongst the shelves. Capacity isn't a problem, and when we built the metrocluster the ATTO 6500N fibre bridge wasn't available, so SATA was our only option at the time. We're getting quotes for both options, but does anyone have an opinion on expanding the SATA aggregate vs setting up a new SAS one? Thanks, -- James Andrewartha Network & Projects Engineer Christ Church Grammar School Claremont, Western Australia Ph. (08) 9442 1757 Mob. 0424 160 877

vfiler migrate, snapmirror and 7.3.x to 8.1.x?
by Randy Rue 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

I googled on this and found an earlier thread here that I actually started. Was trying to migrate a vfiler "whole" to a new cluster, but from 7.3.5.1P% to 8.0.2 and with no snapmirror license. Ended up doing it via rsync to a new vfiler. Looking into getting SnapMirror licensing now. And the target cluster is now 8.1 7-mode. To confirm, I can move a vfiler from 7.3.5.1P5 to 8.1 "whole" with just the minor interruptions during the cutover? Source and target are on the same subnet.

compression DOT 8.1-7mode
by Klise, Steve 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Has anyone turned on compression on their primary storage for DOT 8.1x 7-mode? I am upgrading our heads (6040's) to 8.1p2 and wanted to know what others are using.. These filers are primarily used for FC and VMWare with mostly Windows boxes with 60% dedupe savings. Its also acts as an Exchange CCR for Exchange 2007... I read the TR that shows the gains (if any) that is on the NOW site.. Any info and or opinions is appreciated in advance.
