Protection Manager
by steve klise 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

I have an issue with protection manager 3.7. I have a primary filer (6030 ontap 7.24) that I have backups running to another filer (3070 7.3P5D1). I have manually created the resource volumes on the 3070, and DPM creates the qtree snapmirrror relationship with no issues between filers. The backup happens at 8pm (default policy), and everything is hunky dory. Over time, the GUI has an overall status of normal, then goes to lag warning, then lag error. The snapmirror status is current, and I have removed all the alerts per kb (https://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=kb42558), but still stays with a status of error. What is strange is if I do a manual backup, it goes from error to normal. All the jobs that run at 8pm are completed, and succeded. This is not in prod yet, but would save the backup guys about 26 hours on the weekend, so they are interested it getting this resolved. I dont want to upgrade the filers to 7.3.1. I am waiting for 7.3.2 to come out, and most likely will not go live on DPM until 3.8 comes out. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Protection-Manager-tp23262914p23262914.html Sent from the Network Appliance - Toasters mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

FYI, online netapp classes available
by Nicholas Bernstein 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

Hi all, Sorry for the spam, but I thought it might be useful for some folks - Instructor lead online netapp courses are available now. Fundamentals, NCDA Bootcamp, Performance Analysis, etc, pretty much all the standard netapp courses. This is actually a pretty nice way to take a class, typically some of the classes like performance analysis are only taught by a few instructors (myself, two others) outside of netapp, so it's hard to get a physical class for some of the more advanced stuff. Anyone who's interested can either book through http://www.netapp.com/us/services/university/learning.html or http://www.fastlaneus.com/courses/netapp/NetApp (authorized parter) or email info(a)fastlaneus.com -Nick Ps: this was a one time email, I'm not in sales, sorry to anyone who considers this spam.

Size of installations ?
by James Beal 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

I was wondering how much storage people are putting behind their storage heads ? I can see that a 3170 nominally goes up to 840TB or 420 per head but do people actually put that much storage on a single unit ? I can see that the V series supports SVC, how common is this configuration ? We need to be aiming for about a half Petabyte per rack, I can see how I could do this with a DDN S2A9900 behind an SVC, I would be interested to hear peoples opinion.

NETAPP (DECRU) Software Issue
by Zeeshan 18 Apr '09

Hi guys... Dont know whether this is the right forum to ask...but anyways.... We have E-510 in cluster configuration... Recently strange behavior has started.... Issue-1. I am unable to logon to the cluster through Decru Management Console or through PuTTy...but the same user ID and password is fully functional through WebUI....ON ALL MEMBERS OF THE CLUSTER Issue-2. Recently one of the cluster member (DFE_61) has an even stranger problem...From other cluster members, I can ping the virtual IP on DFE_61 i.e. virtual IP 10.40.200.58...but not the real IP 10.40.200.61.....even from DFE_61 i can ping other devices on the subnet 10.40.200.x and the virtual IPs of other cluster members...but not the real IPs of cluster members. The cluster is up but WebUI shows one of the member's (DFE_61) link down. The Database group state is ABORTED and replication state is RECOVER.The log on DFE_61 shows Software problem PRC2 1:6 watchdog 1182......PRC2 1:7 PRC2 1:8 PRC2 1:9 PRC2 1:10 PRC2 18:9 etc. Tech Support not available till monday... guys please help... Thanx Zeeshan

RE: Network routing question

yes, i forgot to include the VSS/SMLT extensions (we use cisco switches). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMLT although rereading the original it sounds like they just want redundant links versus increased bandwidth and high availability at the same time. the standard vif with a vif favor will accomplish this and is quite simple. vif favor will also return the connection to the primary switch when it's connection is restored rather than remain on the standby switch. ________________________________________ From: Robert Blayzor [rblayzor.bulk(a)inoc.net] Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 1:47 PM To: Leeds, Daniel Cc: Stephen C.

I believe for 802.3ad both connections would have to go to the same physical switch. -- Robert Blayzor, BOFH INOC, LLC rblayzor(a)inoc.net http://www.inoc.net/~rblayzor/

Network routing question
by Stephen C. Losen 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Does a host route override a network route on a netapp head? I have an interface plugged into one switch with IP 192.168.5.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 and I have a second interface plugged into a different switch with IP 192.168.5.7 netmask 255.255.255.0 One switch is "primary" and the other is "standby" for redundancy. There is obviously a routing ambiguity here. Which port does the filer use to reach the 192.168.5 network? It seems to have picked one port (fortunately on the 'active' switch) which I see listed in the routing table. The other port is not listed in any routes at all. But I was wondering if I could add explicit host routes to the IP addresses on the standby switch. I tried this and it didn't work (ping failed). The destination IP that I tried to ping was on another filer head. It occurred to me that I probably need to set the corresponding route on the other head, so I did that. The routes are listed in the route table, but ping still does not work. I checked the ARP table and neither head has the MAC address of the other in its ARP table. So I suppose that despite the host route, the ARP broadcast is going out the wrong interface. I think we need separate subnets here but I'm just the storage guy and did not configure the hosts that are plugged into these two switches. Things are working, all traffic is on the active switch. But I sure don't see how things could ever fail over to the standby switch without manual intervention. Steve Losen scl(a)virginia.edu phone: 434-924-0640 University of Virginia ITC Unix Support

nearstore & PAM cards
by Nicholas Bernstein 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

All, Just out of curiosity - has anyone used a PAM card with a nearstore license? The thought that I had here is that nearstore readjusts the read:write cache ratio in onboard memory, allocating a larger percentage for writes and system usage. Pam cards are dedicated to reads, and thus might allow for more "normal" performance even on a nearstore system... thoughts? I'm just kind of spitballing here. -Nick
