RE: High CPU utilisation
by Davies,Matt 07 Nov '08

Jeff, The clients are experiencing some increase in latency, so I will investigate further, and see the problems occur during times of high utilisation. Thanks Matt -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Mohler [mailto:speedtoys.racing@gmail.com] Sent: 06 November 2008 19:35 To: Davies,Matt Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: High CPU utilisation Matt: Are you experiencing client latency issues? A filer with a "high cpu state" is just that..and many have nothing to do with client protocol latency. CPU's doing what it's doing. It's not a windows/unix box. I dont see from this statit, that you have any actual performance issue, just "high cpu" which could be innumerable low priority tasks unique to your platform and OS. _____________________________________________________________ This e-mail (including all attachments) is confidential and may be privileged.

SMSQL and verification issues
by Milazzo Giacomo 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hi all, Up to now I've always set up SQL cluster with LUNs on drive letters and I've used a single stand alone SQL instance on the "passive" node of the cluster as verification server. Sincerely this is my first experience of SMSQL on a MS cluster using mount point and an external verification server. The scenario so is a SQL cluster using mount point instead of drive letters and an external verification server. We have the DB files on a LUN mounted as S:\DB01, the logs on another LUN mounted as S:\LOG01 and GLINKA0 as external verification server. Here follows the log. The backup is successfully done but when the verification starts something goes wrong: the snapshotted LUNs for DB and LOG are successfully mounted on Z: and Y: but SMSQL on verification does not find the db files a/o the log files looking for it on S:\DB01 (that is the path of the mount point!)... I hope this has nothing to do with capital or lowercase usage of paths J (we've S:\DB01 and S:\db01 on log...). From the verification server I can see the LUN mounted, I can browse them while are mounted and I can see the 'not found' files... Any idea?

High CPU utilisation
by Davies,Matt 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hi all, We are having a problem with a FAS270 that appears to be having high cpu utilisation issues. To be honest I have looked at sysstat and statit and I cannot see the problem. I would appreciate if someone could take a look at the below outputs and let me know what I'm missing.

TR-3428 & Cross-stack Etherchannel
by Carl Howell 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

For those of you that are doing LACP/cross-stack Etherchannel in your ESX environments, like the example in section 6.8 on page 40 of TR-3428, what switches are you using? If you are doing LACP across Cisco 6500's, what SUP's are you using? Thanks, --Carl

SV: Brief outages on the filer?
by Karlsson Ulf Ibrahim :ULK 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Maybe this from http://media.netapp.com/documents/tr-3428.pdf (Netapp+VMware storage best practices) When using VMware snapshots (VMsnaps) with NFS Datastores a condition exists where I/O to the VM is suspended while VMsnaps are being deleted (or more technically speaking the process of committing the redo logs to the VMDK files occur). This issue is experienced with any VMware technology that leverages VMsnaps such as VMware Consolidated Backup, Storage VMotion, Scalable Virtual Images, etc. and SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructure from NetApp. VMware has identified this behavior as a bug (SR195302591), and has released patch ESX350-200808401-BG which addresses this bug. At present time, this patch applies to ESX version 3.5, updates 1 and 2 only. If you plan on leveraging any of the applications that require the VMsnap process please apply this patch, and complete its installation requirements, on the ESX servers in your environment. If you are using scripts in order to take on disk snapshot backups and are unable to upgrade your systems, then VMware and NetApp recommend that you discontinue the use of the VMsnap process prior to executing the NetApp snapshot. /Uffe -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] För Glenn Walker Skickat: den 3 november 2008 20:03 Till: Page, Jeremy; toasters(a)mathworks.com Ämne: RE: Brief outages on the filer? Any way you can predict when it will happen? Sysstat (or better yet, perfstat) would be of help here. Something I've noticed on my infrastructure: VMWare over NFS (unsure about other protocols) will have huge spikes where they write lots of data in a quick burst - happens only a few times a day on relatively quiet systems, but I can definitely see a spike on the filer. Perhaps you have the same thing going, just a SWAG... The impact on our side is not really felt - but the filer does go into back2back CPs from the massive spike (200MB/s - 350MB/s in a short window) and that could manifest itself as 'poor disk response time'. In our case, we're running VMWare over NFS and Exchange over iSCSI on the same filers, but no one is really complaining when the 'events' happen. Just something I've noticed for a while. FAS6070 and the busy time is recorded around 6000 NFS IOPS. That said, we did a stress test with about 25 guests running IOMeter and were able to push 15000 NFS OPS on node 1, 10000 NFS OPS on node 2 (a combined 400MB/s write, 300MB/s read) without any sort of reported performance problems. ________________________________ From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Page, Jeremy Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 11:02 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Brief outages on the filer? I am seeing brief outages where my VMs (NFS as the back end protocol) and SQL LUNs (FC) both complain of poor disk response time at the same time. I don't think it can be the infrastructure since one is IP and the other FC. The LUNs are on a different set of spindles/different aggr then the NFS volumes as well, so I don't think it's a disk bottleneck. I'm on a 3070 and rarely do we hit 3500 IOPS (and 90+% of that out of cache) or go above 40% for the busiest CPU (normally we're in the 15-25% range) so I am not sure what's going on here, any suggestions on how to troubleshoot it? We're running 7.2.4, I want to wait for 7.3.1 to upgrade since we are using NFS for VMware and there are several fixes that will be beneficial to us.

RE: Data OnTap 7.2.6
by Darragh, Stephen J (US SSA) 03 Nov '08

Hello, You mention you believe it was GA at one point, and I don't believe that is correct. It used to be the case, but at some point, they determined that if the base release was GD, then subsiqent released are auto-majically placed into GD status. This has caused us problems and I hope others chime in to see if NetApp will go back to the old release cycle of every version being GA before going to GD. Stephen Darragh BAE Systems IT Merrimack NH -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Sheen Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 9:04 PM To: Jack Lyons; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Data OnTap 7.2.6 We upgraded a pair of clustered 3070's and a 3020 last Saturday. We do a small amount of CIFS, more NFS and lots of LUNs. We haven't had any issues. All of the hosts connected to the clustered 3070's are multipathed except for one. good luck with the issues, Kevin At 07:17 PM 10/30/2008, Jack Lyons wrote: Does NetApp still publish the number of appliances running different version of Data OnTap? We just upgraded to 7.2.6 on Sunday and we have had two (and possibly a third) panics causing failover on 1 of the 4 filers. Failover went smoothly for the most part (I bet the app team that didn't want to spend the money multipathing software / hba's will be singing another tune tomorrow) but both panics didn't create complete core dumps. We are working on the case with NetApp support but want to see what other people were seeing about 7.2.6. 7.2.6 went GD recently and I assume it was GA for awhile before that, but I can't figure release dates or the number of appliances running the different versions of Data OnTap. Thanks Jack p.s. why did we upgrade? http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=281669 is the bug we are hitting...in addition to: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=253517 http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=256975 http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=271864
