RE: [SUMMARY] Automatically delete snapshots based on number and not space availability
by Daniel Keisling 07 Aug '08

Thanks for all the quick responses. The available solutions are a) Snapvault b) Protection Manager c) Scripting, which I chose to do (using snapdrive): $SD snap create -hostvol $DB_DEVICE -snapname snap.0.tmp if [ $? -eq 1 ] then echo "Snapshot creation returned non-zero errorlevel!" exit 1 fi $SD snap delete $SYSTEM:/vol/$NA_VOL:snap.$RETENTION while [ $RETENTION -gt 0 ] do ((TMP_RET=$RETENTION-1)) $SD snap rename $SYSTEM:/vol/$NA_VOL:snap.$TMP_RET snap.$RETENTION ((RETENTION=$RETENTION-1)) done $SD snap rename $SYSTEM:/vol/$NA_VOL:snap.0.tmp snap.0 I would love if the filer's 'snap autodelete' could have the functionality in the future.

vol autosize setting?
by Romeo Theriault 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Is there a way to tell 'vol autosize' when it should jump to the next incremental increase. From my tests it look like it increases the volume size to the next increment when the volume reaches around 85% full. Is there a way to change that to say 90 or 95% full? Thanks -- Romeo Theriault

If you have snapdrive installed, then you can use the snapdrive CLI to create the snap from the host. The other options are rsh or ssh to the filer to create the snapshot.

Sorry only read part of the email. Hope the folowing helps What I do is using the snapdrive CLI is something along the following lines. Delete snapshot "snapshot5" Rename snapshot "snapshot4 to snapshot5" Rename snapshot "snapshot3 to snapshot4" Rename snapshot "snapshot2 to snapshot3" Rename snapshot "snapshot1 to snapshot2" Snapshot create snapshot1 Thanks Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: Daniel Keisling <daniel.keisling(a)austin.ppdi.com> To: Davies,Matt; scl(a)sasha.acc.virginia.edu <scl(a)sasha.acc.virginia.edu> Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com <toasters(a)mathworks.com> Sent: Tue Aug 05 17:55:02 2008 Subject: RE: Automatically delete snapshots based on number and not space availability I create snapshots all day long using snapdrive. My question is how to automatically delete snapshots based on the _number_ of snapshots and not space availability (which is what the autodelete setting uses), when those snapshots are taking from the host (ie, snapdrive or regular rsh/ssh command).

Hello all... i have an IBM N3600 running ONTAP 7.2.2.... i am having problem accessing the storage system through the BMC... earlier i used to access/administer the storage with "naroot" account on BMC and then running the 'system console' command to administer the storage... suddenly the BMC has denied access and despite giving the correct the user name: naroot and password....the BMC responds..."access denied"...i have run the 'bmc reboot' and 'bmc setup' commands...but no luck... forcefully i have to use the 'e0a' interface to administer the system.... Also....whats the difference between RLM and BMC...'rlm status' gives no rlm installed....so wats the difference between BMC and RLM... Thanx....

Netapp Heating and Air Flow?
by ifstat 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

We have a netapp FAS3050C, installed into two netapp cabinets, with 20 ds14mk4 shelves. My question is regarding air flow and air conditioning, what is the best practice or what have you done at your site to ensure that the netapp stays cool? Our problem is the operation/server room temprature is set to 23 Degrees Celcilus, but the therometer measures the temprature in the netapp cabinet at 41 Degress Celcilus. Any ideas or guides would be helpful. Thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Netapp-Heating-and-Air-Flow--tp18810468p18810468.html Sent from the Network Appliance - Toasters mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
