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.

snap restore from snapvault secondary
by No More Linux! 01 May '08

01 May '08

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?

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?

Fyi. This request is submitted under RFE 78292. So you an now just add your +1 to the rfe :) -----Original Message----- From: Mike <ginguy_2000(a)yahoo.com> Sent: Friday, April 25, 2008 11:13 PM To: Langdon, Laughlin T.

Linking FilerView and the powerful ONTAP CLI = win/win! As far as how to get it done, contacting either your TGA (if you have one), or your sales rep or other "account rep" type person and asking them about submitting an RFE would be a good way to start, it seems.

hi all is there a limit, on the netapp side of things, that would prevent snapmirror traffic from increasing beyond 30mbits/sec ? -- eats the blues for breakfast, does unix for rent, plays harp for food, will play the flute for kicks rides for the freedom scrapes for the challenge
