hot swapping 3170 head
by Jerry 13 Sep '08

Has anyone tried or tested pulling out a 3170 head from the new dual head chassis on the fly? Is there any magic steps to make sure things don't blow up when you do this?

You should power up the shelves first then the head. If these are supported devices, you should be able to get netapp tech support to help. ------Original Message------ From: Zeeshan Sender: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com To: Toasters List Sent: Sep 10, 2008 12:46 AM Subject: Best Practices !!!

Linkedin group
by Nicholas Bernstein 05 Sep '08

Hi all, I didn't happen to see a toasters group on linkedin (the professional networking site) so I made one. Thought it might be of interest to some folks on the list. http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=751357 If this is objectionable to the group, I will, of course, remove it. Linkedin, oddly, requires manual approval, so if you don't get approved right away, it's just because I haven't gotten to it... I'll approve all comers, unless list admin's care to take over the management of the linked in group, in which case, I'll happily hand it over to someone else. Cheers, Nick -- Nicholas Bernstein Technologist, Consultant, Instructor http://nicholasbernstein.com

Noob...
by David.Ashton＠rullion.co.uk 04 Sep '08

Hi, please excuse my noobness, I've recently inherited a Netapp system or 3, I'm fairly new to SANs in general and netapp in particular. This isnt my full time gig (storage), its one thing amongst the 2 thousand other things I'm working on today, but I allocate a fair amount of time to figuring this stuff out. I'm struggling with something I'm sure all netapp storage people go through, I've read the manuals, I've played around for about 6 months on the filers and I cant answer this. I have a FAS3020. I have a volume, lets call it vol_bond. Its 820GB, 20% snap reserve. It contains one lun, which is 320GB. The space guarantee is volume, and fractional reserve is 100. Currently, there are 5 snapshots, totalling 8GB. It is snap mirrored to another filer. Snapshots are created nightly, there are no problems with that. At weekends, after various backup activity, these grow to about 80GB, but we only keep 5 and they're deleted. Its all up and running, everythings fine. Except for the filer status which reports: /vol/vol_bond is full (using or reserving 98% of space and 0% of inodes, using 49% of reserve) and the df -r output is /vol/vol_bondv8/ 687865856 670681368 17184488 335194536 /vol/vol_bondv8/ /vol/vol_bondv8/.snapshot 171966464 14140040 157826424 0 /vol/vol_bondv8/.snapshot What am I missing? I thought I had this thing nailed but obviously not.

Re: Oddball SnapMirror issue - Fixed
by Raj Patel 31 Aug '08

Old issue I know, but in case anyone else was interested - * Upgrading from 7.06 to 7.2.5.1 fixed it. So I'm unsure if there was a bug in 7.06 SnapMirror or if 7.2.5.1 just has a more robust SnapMirror but upgrading destination and source certainly fixed it. Cheers, Raj.
