Hide Snapshots from NFS clients
by Sebastian Goetze 04 Feb '19

04 Feb '19

Hi All, I'm teaching a SMB/NFS combo at the moment, and the question again came up, how to hide ".snapshot" from NFS users/scripts (like in the 7-Mode days). In the Man Pages I found *[ -v3-hide-snapshot {enabled|disabled} ] - Hide Snapshot Directory under NFSv3 Mount Point* This optional parameter specifies whether to hide the .snapshot directory while listing under NFSv3 mount points. However an explicit access to the .snapshot directory will still be allowed even though the option is enabled. The default setting is disabled at the time of creation. (I checked, it's not in 9.4) Greetings from Munich Sebastian NAI (NetApp Instructor) _________________________________________________ Jeremy asked Feb 5, 2016: In 7-mode we are able to make snapshots accessible, but invisible to NFSv3 clients. In this mode there is a .snapshot directory, but if you ‘ls’ that directory it appears empty. However, if you ls .snapshot/hourly.0 say then you can see that the snapshot is in fact there. We now have an 8.3.1 CDOT filer and have not been able to work out how to reproduce the behaviour. The snapshots are either accessible and visible (which causes problems for programs which walk the tree) or not accessible at all.…

Cyber Security Question
by Chris Hague 29 Jan '19

29 Jan '19

Hi All, The scenario is; An attacker has compromised security on your LAN and gained access to admin access on the NetApp filers. Subsequently they have wiped the primary and DR filers, including all SnapVault backups. How could this be protected against? KR, Chris. p.s. Apologies in advance for the insanely long signature!

small query about global exports
by Yuvaraja Shivaram 24 Jan '19

24 Jan '19

Hi All, cmode also behaves in the same way as 7 mode , when it comes to global export.. if already global export policy created (0.0.0.0./0) and later on if we create individual entry of host, does it gives outage, or is that fine since it access uses indexes, did not tested this since we do not have test environment. please let me know on this.. regards Yuvaraja

Setting permissions on NTFS CIFS share, users not found?
by Ian Ehrenwald 22 Jan '19

22 Jan '19

Hello I am unsure if this is an AD or a ONTAP config problem, but I thought I'd ask. I have not run into this before. Brand new cluster (9.4P4), brand new SVM, pretty minimal config. # Standard issue create CIFS server, allow anyone to connect through default export -policy # Create a volume to test with, NTFS security, and a CIFS share on top of it MyCluster::> vserver cifs create -vserver MySvm -cifs-server MyNas -domain MyAdDomain.Business.com (joined it to MyAdDomain.Business.Com) MyCluster::> vserver export-policy rule create -policyname default -clientmatch 0.0.0.0/0 -rorule any -rwrule any -superuser any -vserver MySvm -protocol cifs MyCluster::> volume create -volume cifs_test -aggregate MyCluster_02_SATA_1 -size 1g -junction-path /cifs_test -security-style ntfs -vserver MySvm MyCluster::> vserver cifs share create -share-name cifs_test -path /cifs_test -vserver MySvm # Test AD SID resolution from the filer, forwards and backwards MyCluster::> set diagnostic MyCluster::*> diag secd authentication translate -node MyCluster-02 -vserver MySvm -win-name MyUserName S-1-5-21-348434689-563360211-3986294115-29846 MyCluster::*> diag secd authentication translate -node MyCluster-02 -vserver MySvm -sid S-1-5-21-348434689-563360211-3986294115-29846 MyAdDomain\MyUserName (Windows User) MyCluster::*> diag secd authentication translate -node MyCluster-02 -vserver MySvm -win-name MyAdDomain\aGroupIamAmemberOf S-1-5-21-348434689-563360211-3986294115-1154 MyCluster::*> diag secd authentication translate -node MyCluster-02 -vserver MySvm -sid S-1-5-21-348434689-563360211-3986294115-1154 MyAdDomain\aGroupIamAmemberOf (Windows Domain group) So far so good. CIFS share permission by default is Everyone/Full. NTFS permission by default is Everyone/Full. I am able to connect to the share at \\MyNas\cifs_test and create a directory. The test directory has permission of Everyone/Full as viewed by right clicking on the test directory, selecting Properties, and viewing the Security tab. If I click on Advanced, I see the Owner correctly set to MyUserName as defined in AD. The Permissions tab in the Advanced window has Allow/Everyone/Full Control. Now, here is the problem. if I click on 'Add', the Permission Entry window pops up and I need to Select A Principal. When I Select A Principal and enter a known-good username into the 'Enter the object name to select' field and click Check Names, I get 'An object with the following name cannot be found.. blahblahblah'. I've tried with multiple users, multiple groups, all with the same result. I know these objects (users, groups) exist. The 'From this location' box in the window that pops up is referencing MyAdDomain.Business.Com, and the Object Type is User/Group/Built In SP. Is this a failure of something in our AD environment and our workstations, or is this a failure somewhere in ONTAP land? I'm leaning towards something screwed up in our AD environment because of the diag secd test from above working, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

Re: Bandwidth Calculator for Exiting NetApp
by jordan slingerland 14 Jan '19

Again, may be the best option that I can think of...but will it really be equal to your total write rate? What if a block changes 32 times in 5 seconds. I think semi sync is going to be at best every 3 seconds (i am actually asking and confirming that) and thus all 32 of those writes may end up only being 1 or 2 blocks traversing circuit sm is using. --Jordan On Mon, Jan 14, 2019 at 12:36 PM Fenn, Michael <fennm(a)deshawresearch.com> wrote: > One thing you could do is to look at the write rate over time via your > favorite tool (statistics show, OCUM, OCI, Harvest, etc.).

Bandwidth Calculator for Exiting NetApp
by Mike Michalakis 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

I’m wondering how anyone approaches the following scenario: We have an existing NetApp system in place (ONTAP 9.4), currently taking Snapshots of all the required volumes as per the required RPO objectives as defined. The question is: There is now a requirement to implement a DR site using Asynchronous Snapmirror, based on the current snapshots and rate of change, what is an estimated bandwidth requirement to meet X RPO. What tools or options are available for completing such an exercise or the methodology Thanks MikeM

DP to XDP conversion problems
by Peter D. Gray 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

Hi people, We are heavy users of snapmirror DR. We started to convert those relations to XDP from DP. We used: - break snapmirror - snapmirror release on source - snapmirror delete on target - wait (no idea what goes on behind the scenes here) - snapmirror create -destination-path <path> -type XDP -policy MirrorAllSnapshots -identity-preserve true - source-vserver <name> -source-cluster <name> - snapmirror resync -destination-path <path> This works a treat unless you have unprotected volumes. If there are source volumes flagged unprotected and therefore not on the destination vserver you appear to be doomed. We have found no way to ever resynmc the source to destination vservers. What you up wirth is something like: Cluster Source Destination State Status Policy Progress Size Lag SRC svm-esx: svm-esx-dr: Broken-off Idle MirrorAllSnapshots - 39GB - SRC svm-esx:esx_03 svm-esx-dr:esx_slinux_03 Broken-off Idle MirrorAllSnapshots - - - SRC svm-esx:esx_04 svm-esx-dr:esx_slinux_04 Broken-off Idle MirrorAllSnapshots - - - SRC svm-esx:esx_sscratch_00 svm-esx-dr:esx_sscratch_00 Uninitialized Idle MirrorAllSnapshots - - - SRC svm-esx:esx_sscratch_01 svm-esx-dr:esx_sscratch_01 Uninitialized Idle MirrorAllSnapshots - - - SRC svm-esx:esx_10 svm-esx-dr:esx_10 Broken-off Idle MirrorAllSnapshots - - - SRC svm-esx:esx_10 svm-esx-dr:esx_11 Broken-off Idle MirrorAllSnapshots - - - SRC svm-esx:esx_10 svm-esx-dr:esx_12 Broken-off Idle MirrorAllSnapshots - - - The above is hand edited so ignore any errors. You get the idea. No amount of stuffing around (and there has been a lot) has ever go this relationshp to work properly again. Anyine else seen this and/or have a solution. We have guessed that the unprotected flag is no longer supported which is annoying in itself.

Creating a readonly user to monitor NetApp cluster via check_mk
by Sylvain Robitaille 20 Dec '18

20 Dec '18

Hello fellow toasters users ... We're in the process of deploying a pair of new CDOT filers and one of the things we'd like to setup with them is having check_mk (nagios and rrd, under the hood) monitor various attributes. We have a working instance at the moment using snmp to query the filers, but check_mk also provides a "plugin" that claims to work with the filer's web interface, so we'd like to examine that. To that end, I've setup a read-only user on the filer, that I intend will be able to access the web interface: security login create -vserver fc1-na -user-or-group-name nul_cmk \ -application http -authentication-method password -role readonly \ -comment "check_mk monitoring" The user shows up when I "show": fc1-na::> security login show -vserver fc1-na -user-or-group-name nul_cmk Vserver: fc1-na Second User/Group Authentication Acct Authentication Name Application Method Role Name Locked Method -------------- ----------- ------------- ---------------- ------ -------------- nul_cmk http password readonly no none The readonly role is unchanged from the OS default: fc1-na::> security login role show -vserver fc1-na -role readonly Role Command/ Access Vserver Name Directory Query Level ---------- ------------- --------- ----------------------------------- -------- fc1-na readonly DEFAULT readonly security none security login password all security login role show-user-capability all set all 5 entries were displayed. Trouble is that if I try to login to the web interface as that user, the browser stays "stuck" at the "Loading system details..." spinner widget. It's been there now for about two hours as I type this. Of course, check_mk's plugin logs a timeout while trying to access the interface. I fully suspect that I'm missing something, of course, but I'm afraid I haven't been able to find what that is. If someone out there has experience creating such a user for readonly access, a pointer to where I should be looking and/or documentation I should be reading would be hugely appreciated. (cli is preferred because it's easier to document what I've done that way, but if someone points me to resources in the web interface I'm sure I'll be able to find what I need at the cli.) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvain Robitaille syl(a)encs.concordia.ca Systems analyst / AITS Concordia University Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science Montreal, Quebec, Canada ----------------------------------------------------------------------
