Errors every second in my audit log after starting to monitor with Catcti/SDK
by Page, Jeremy 22 Jun '09

We've recently started using Cacti and the Ontap SDK to monitor our filer's performance but something is not working properly, I see the following line 2-3 times a second in the Audit Log: Mon Jun 22 12:25:51 EDT [array02: HTTPPool04:debug]: root:AUTH:error:Login failed for user root from IP 10.1.17.8. reason "User not authenticated" Currently it's configured to use the root account, once we figure out what's wrong we'll create a service acount before moving the monitoring to production.

Thanks Olaf, I appreciate all the help. I think the information provided by you will help others as well. However, my only question is, why this message started appearing on my console all of a sudden? even though the filer was upgraded to its current version of ONTAP almost an year ago.

Unable to open function name/address mapping file
by LOhit 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Hello All, I have been getting this warning message on the console since past 4 days. Have you seen this before by any chance? I am running 7.2.3 on a 3020 and no changes were made in the recent past, this message starting appearing all of a sudden. BTW, there is no directory called "boot" in "/etc". *Thu Jun 4 23:50:00 GMT [mgr.stack.openFail:warning]: Unable to open function name/address mapping file /etc/boot/mapfile_7.2.3.L: No such file or directory* -- LOhit

> > The F5 ARX (Acopia) does support managing NetApp Snapshots. What the customers means from snapshot support is that once a file moves to other storage it also clears the blocks which are being held by previous snapshots for that specific file. Is that what Acopia does? Appreciate your response. Regards, Babar Haq -- Be Yourself @ mail.com! Choose From 200+ Email Addresses Get a Free Account at www.mail.com

Excuse me. Maybe that has changed since the last time I worked with a ARX box. -----Original Message----- From: Kirby Wadsworth [mailto:kirbyw@F5.com] Sent: 08 June 2009 09:53 To: Funke, Stefan; Babar Haq; Bob Blair; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: HSM/ILM for Netapp Patently incorrect, Stefan. ARX coordinates snapshots from multiple vendors including NTAP and creates a virtual snapshot across different arrays - a function that no other technology can provide. -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Funke, Stefan Sent: Monday, June 08, 2009 3:42 AM To: Babar Haq; Bob Blair; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: HSM/ILM for Netapp In a typical setup you will configure the ARX to ignore .snapshot directories. F5 doesn't know anything about NetApp snapshots nor does it manage any NetApp functionality like snapshots.

Re: Use VTL shelfs with netapp head

!!!!!!!! *Contact NetApp* before you do this!!! The VTL disks are handled a materially different way than regular ONTAP disks, and you could have serious problems: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=278652 --- On Thu, 6/4/09, Joel.Cooper(a)lvvwd.com <Joel.Cooper(a)lvvwd.com> wrote: > From: Joel.Cooper(a)lvvwd.com <Joel.Cooper(a)lvvwd.com> > Subject: Use VTL shelfs with netapp head > To: toasters(a)mathworks.com > Date: Thursday, June 4, 2009, 6:31 PM > > Hello, we are retiring our VTL 600 head > and would like add the disk shelfs to our existing Netapp > 3140. > > > > Does anyone know if this is possible or has > maybe done something similar? > > > > > > Thanks > > > >

Other OPS?
by Page, Jeremy 05 Jun '09

05 Jun '09

What causes other ops? I understand that pretty much everything that hits the filer requires something but I am seeing what looks like a very high number of other ops when I do a stats show. Does this indicate a problem or is it just a busy box? It's a mixed mode volume. Just trying to figure out what's causing it to work so hard.
