iSCSI settings? where are they stored or backuped?
by René Bormann 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Hello Toasters, I am in the process of moving our data to new shelfs via snapmirror. In my last test I swichted to the new vols, rebooted and realized that our iSCSI settings (initiator groups, mappings) where missing. Where are they stored? Is there something I forgot? Is there any Document I should read? Thanks from Hamburg, René -- ----------------------------------------- Telefonkonferenzen zum Festnetzpreis!

Easy way to monitor options?
by A Darren Dunham 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

I would like to check the options on my filers for various items, but I'm not sure the best way to do it. Could anyone tell me if I'm missing something? SNMP and Operations Manager: I don't see that I can pull the data from either of these sources. SSH and SDK access: I could create an account, but it seems to me that the only restriction available is the ability to run the "options" command. There's no way to grant an account read-only access to the data. I'd rather not give the monitor direct access to modify things. NFS: The current options appear to be visible as a local file in /etc, but creating NFS access to vol0 for lots of filers for a single file seems more of a hassle to me. At the moment I'm leaning toward a collector that would poll all the filers via SSH or SDK to run "options" and dump that into static files on a normal export that the monitoring system could examine. Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks! -- Darren

Hmm. I didn't realize the different privs available there. Even though I have DFM and will probably use it for this task, I'm very interested in knowing how the SDK could enable this to happen.

Distribute aggregate across shelves or limit to one shelf?
by Ray Van Dolson 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Best practice (based on my reading of the archives) seems to be to distribute disk membership in an aggregate across disk shelves. This would appear to be for performance reasons primarily (less chance of saturating a shelf's "uplink" to the controller), but how does it affect reliability? If I limit myself to one aggregate per shelf, if I lose that shelf I lose only the one aggregate. If aggregates are distributed I could lose all of them. My thought is that the chance of the shelf failing is actually pretty slim as its hardware isn't all that sophisticated. And obviously there are performance penalties for limiting to one aggregate per shelf (disk count maximums). Thanks, Ray

You should talk with your NetApp account team. Most of the new systems include Operations Manager (DFM) software at no charge.

Hello all, we got some old DS14 Shelfs with LRC Modules. Is it possible to replace the LRC Modules with ESH2?

Restart SNMP service

Has anyone seen an issue where the filer did not update the SNMP settings when set via FilerView? Like changing/modifying the community strings or trap destinations?

Is anyone running ONTAP 8.x with 64 bit aggrs ?
by Steve Losen 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Hello Toasters, Currently all of our filers are running ONTAP 7.3.x and we are looking at upgrading to 8.x and perhaps buying some disks/shelves that require 8.x. We would also like to convert to 64 bit aggrs to get beyond the 16T size limit. As I understand it, there is no way to upgrade an existing 32 bit aggr to 64 bit in place, you need to copy the data. Furthermore, you cannot volume snapmirror 32 bit to/from 64 bit. I presume you can ndmpcopy 32 bit to/from 64 bit. How about "vol copy" ? Is anyone running 8.x and migrating from 32bit to 64bit aggrs? How are you doing it? Is the recommended 8.x release stable? Any serious bugs, issues, or gotchas ? Thanks, Steve Losen scl(a)virginia.edu phone: 434-924-0640 University of Virginia ITC Unix Support

DFM 4.01 fragmentation on windows 2003 server
by steve klise 01 Apr '11

I have a vm running windows 2003 with DFM on it monitoring a few filers. Its been running for years, and I have gone from DFM 3.3 on up to 4.x. The question is this. The drive that has the application installed on it is heavily fragmented. All the fragmentation is in the perf data type files. Any thoughts?

ok, this has NOTHING TO DO WITH NETAPP, but for those of you that have been on hold for support.... I think the roots of this song are Netapp, and someone ripped it off from Netapp....
