filer fail over times
by Page, Jeremy 06 May '08

06 May '08

How long should it take a filer to fail over from one head to another? When I force a failover (cf forcetakeover) from one head the other goes down for minutes. Here's what I see on the console. This is a new filer with very little traffic going to it and FC is not even set up yet, all NFS/CIFS. array01> cf forcetakeover cf forcetakeover may lead to data corruption; really force a takeover? yes cf: forcetakeover initiated by operator array01> Mon May 5 12:27:48 EST [array01: cf.misc.operatorForcedTakeover:warning]: Cluster monitor: forced takeover initiated by operator Mon May 5 12:27:48 EST [array01: cf.fsm.takeover.forced:info]: Cluster monitor: takeover attempted after cf forcetakeover command Mon May 5 12:27:48 EST [array01: cf.fsm.stateTransit:warning]: Cluster monitor: UP --> TAKEOVER Mon May 5 12:27:48 EST [array01: cf.fm.takeoverStarted:warning]: Cluster monitor: takeover started Mon May 5 12:27:48 EST [array02/array01: coredump.spare.none:info]: No sparecore disk was found.

toasterview_rrd -create fails - duplicate DS name error.
by chrisb1961＠comcast.net 05 May '08

05 May '08

Using RHEL Server 5.1 with: net-snmp-5.3.1-19.el5_1.4 Perl v5.8.8 built for i386-linux-thread-multi Connecting to a Netapp FAS3050 running 7.2.1 which is part of a cluster. ./toasterview_rrd -create fails with a duplicate DS name error. The output from the command shows a duplicate DS name for every one of our volumes. The command fails on vol0 because it is the first volume processed (I think that's why). See sample output below. Does anybody know why this is happening or more importantly what needs to be done to correct this error? Also, #./toasterview_rrd.pl -create myfiler2 -p /var/rrds fails exactly the same way using the other Filer head in the cluster. Interstingly, it doesn't report duplicate aggregate names, only volume names. And no.... there aren't duplicate volume names for every volume we have. Just thought I would head that question off now :-) --Thanks, Chris #./toasterview_rrd.pl -create myfiler1 -p /var/rrds *** ToasterView RRD Creation Selected *** Looking for NetApp Volumes on myfiler1 Found volume named: vol0 Found volume named: vol0 Found volume named: sql2 Found volume named: sql2 Found volume named: rtb Found volume named: rtb <snip> Creating Tosterview RRD Going to use command: /usr/local/bin/rrdtool create /var/rrds/myfiler1.rrd --start N --step 1200 DS:vol0:GAUGE:2400:U:U DS:vol0:GAUGE:2400:U:U DS:sql2:GAUGE:2400:U:U DS:sql2:GAUGE:2400:U:U DS:rtb:GAUGE:2400:U:U DS:rtb:GAUGE:2400:U:U <snip> ERROR: Duplicate DS name: vol0 An error has occured: Return Value 256

Autosupport messages triggered by UPS SNMP trap
by Joel Krajden 02 May '08

02 May '08

Our filers monitor their UPSs. Anyone know of a way to stop autosupport from sending the tarballs every time our ups experiences a flicker or does a self-test. Anyone else that would like the filers to be smarter when monitoring two or more UPS so that if one UPS fails but the other still is providing juice not to perform a halt. -- | Joel Krajden | Rm: EV-7105, Tel: 514 848-2424 3052 | | Core Technologies Mgr | | | Engineering & | Email: joelk(a)encs.concordia.ca | | Computer Science | | | Concordia University | In a circus, the clowns are supposed | | Montreal, Canada | to make you laugh, not cry. |

Netbooting a FAS3040 issues
by Adam McDougall 02 May '08

02 May '08

We are trying to netboot a 3040 because it has no root volume yet. We downloaded the netboot image for 7.2.4, put it on a local webserver, used ifconfig in the boot loader to assign an IP and told it to boot off the http image. According to the webserver logs it was fetched, but the netboot client never finishes, printing dots (........) forever, we let it go overnight. We'll open a support case soon if needed because we need to get this rolling, but does anyone have any tips? Thanks.

is it possible to restore directly from a snapshot on the secondary nearstore back to the primary filer or do we have to copy all of that data back onto the filesystem?

RE: Snapdrive alternative
by Webster, Stetson 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

I went back and read this email and found a promising aspect of the nature of this setup. With FC, the odds are extremely high that your issue is in the configuration of your MPIO stack which is an important pre-requisite step for a stable SnapDrive deployment. You can actually verify these steps in the SnapDrive installation guide. But either way, the support center is very capable of isolating this and is your best source for detailed, conclusive analysis.

You really need SnapDrive or a piece of software like the "sync" driver in VMware which will ensure that your system will boot up afterwards. Not sure if there are any alternatives on the market though. SnapDrive isn't unstable (I have multiple happy people who think it isn't) ...I'm sure if you have any issues they can be sorted without looking for an alternative. Even better use SnapManager for SQL, this uses Microsoft APIs to ensure that not only the OS but the database is properly consistent during backups. Honestly though, if SnapDrive is causing you pain I'm sure it can be fixed - call up NetApp support and you'll get a good response. If you don't have support, firstly you should....but if its a generic issue I'm sure there are people out there that can help. cheers Eddie ________________________________ From: Webster, Stetson Sent: Friday, April 25, 2008 4:44 AM To: lists(a)up-south.com; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: Snapdrive alternative Yes.

Submitting Suggestions to Netapp/CLI command builder
by Langdon, Laughlin T. (Lock) 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

How would one go about submitting a suggestion to NetApp? I was thinking it would be nice, if while working in the Filer View GUI, your operations selected would build a command line "example" Say for instance you wanted to make a new volume from the GUI. You go to the volume section and you click Add. The wizard pops up. click next Select your volume type (flexible) click next Name the volume (vol1) Select language (en_US) Decide if you want to use UTF-8 or not (no) click next select the aggregate (aggr0) set your space guarantee (volume) click next choose volume size type (useable) choose volume size (100GB) set snapshot reserve (10%) click next now it shows all the options you picked in the text box. Create New Volume Volume Name: vol1 Aggregate Container: aggr0 (14TB, raid_dp,mirrored) Volume Size: 100 GB Snapshot Reserve: 10% Language: English (US) (en_US) Space Guarantee: volume I want it to add the command line example of all the choices you picked. So it would look something like this Create New Volume Volume Name: vol1 Aggregate Container: aggr0 (14TB, raid_dp,mirrored) Volume Size: 100 GB Snapshot Reserve: 10% Language: English (US) (en_US) Space Guarantee: volume CLI Commands used : vol create vol1 -l en_US aggr0 -s volume 100g snap reserve vol1 10 I couldn't find a CLI command to specify if that 100GIG was useable or total space, but I hope you get what I'm going for. This might help people become more proficient in the CLI interface, and also help build commands for scripting. Thoughts, Ideas, comments?
