XDP v DP mirrors
by S. Eno 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

I realize this may be an over discussed topic, but I’m in the process of migrating a bunch of snapmirror relationships and am wondering about real-world impressions / results from anyone on whether it’s better to stay with the “old” snapmirror technology DP, or convert these mirrors to XDP. We’ve just upgraded to 9.3P11 and I already see that “DP” mirrors have been deprecated and have to be re-enabled via CLI. That seems to be a clear message from NetApp on where DP snapmirror is going. Has anyone seen benefits to using XDP mirrors? Faster? Slower? Better or worse network compression? Thanks! Scott

Re: Continuously available CIFS
by SE 28 Mar '19

Thank you Justin for your response. Since this is a four-node cluster, if I force this application’s CIFS traffic through a lif on HA-pair “A” to a volume on an aggr owned by a controller in HA-pair “B” would those sessions still be severed if I upgrade HA-pair “B”? Would “B”s takeover/giveback process of changing aggr ownership also require severing CIFS sessions? > On Mar 13, 2019, at 8:50 AM, Parisi, Justin <Justin.Parisi(a)netapp.com> wrote: > > Microsoft and NetApp stance is that CA shares are supported only for HyperV and SQL workloads at this time. > > -----Original Message----- > From: toasters-bounces(a)teaparty.net <toasters-bounces(a)teaparty.net> On Behalf Of s.eno via Toasters > Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2019 8:39 AM > To: toasters(a)teaparty.net > Subject: > > NetApp Security WARNING: This is an external email.

FAS2240-4 and 9.1 support
by Alexander Griesser 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

Hey there, trying to repurpose some of my older filers here and wiped them now and wanted to install with 9.1. According to HWU, this should be supported and I'm running a few FAS2240-2 with 9.1PX already, without issues. I did upgrade to 9.1P17 on two of these FAS2240-4 and after the install, one of them did not boot anymore because it said, that this platform is not supported on the release. The second controller booted without issues and I have now netbooted 9.1P16, which shows the same behaviour: Controller A: Starting program at 0x80294e10 NetApp Data ONTAP 9.1P16 *************************************************** This platform is not supported in this release. The system will now halt *************************************************** Controller B: Starting program at 0x80294e10 NetApp Data ONTAP 9.1P16 md0: Preloaded image <http/_NETAPP/NETBOOT/91P16/rootfs.img> 256704512 bytes at 0xffffffff81543000 md1: Preloaded image <http/_NETAPP/NETBOOT/91P16/platfs2g.img> 335412736 bytes at 0xffffffff90a13000 Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0.uzip [ro]...

Continuously available CIFS

Hi, Does anyone here utilize continuously available CIFS shares for anything other than Hyper-V and/or SQL? If so, do you have real-world results on how those shares do during ONTAP upgrades? I need to perform upgrades on a 4-node cluster and have a mission critical application that doesn’t like it when the takeover/giveback process severs its CIFS sessions. I’m trying to figure out a way to do this without causing downtime to the application which in-turn causes push-back on the upgrade plan.

VMware datastore stats integration
by Ian Ehrenwald 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

I think I know the answer to this already (which is NO) but maybe I'm missing something not so obvious. Is there a way to insert into vSphere some storage statistics from NFS datastores on a per-VM basis? Eg, I want to see that VM prod-xyz is using 3924 IOPS and has 18ms write latency, and I want to see it through the single pane of glass that is vCenter Server in the VM specific statistics. I'm going to guess that the answer is no, not without some sort of plugin to vCenter that talks to an ONTAP API and tracks operations on a file level, keying from the VMDK path(s) in the VMX file. I'd also love to see those stats extended to per-VM physical and logical disk space utilization. I have no idea if those sort of stats are even available, and if they were, I would hope that someone on the NetApp side of the equation would have done this already as part of VSC. It would make reporting to management a lot easier. Just throwing it out there..

RE: please provide the complete steps for creating new lacp ports..

Alright – with regards to Chris‘ question: I did assume that a0a currently is not LACP or connected to a different set of switches, which is probably the reason, why you cannot just add the physical ports in a0b to the existing ifgrp a0a, right?

Azure CVO and CPU
by SE 06 Mar '19

06 Mar '19

Hi, Is anyone here using Cloud Volumes ONTAP in Azure? I’m trying to figure out why it is the Azure dashboard claims our CVO instance is always running at 100% CPU, but if one ssh’s to the virtual appliance and does a sysstat -m on the node it shows all cpus at 0%-1%. Any ideas on the discrepancy between what Azure sees and what ONTAP claims? — Scott

vol move throughput throttle
by Mike Thompson 28 Feb '19

28 Feb '19

did a throttle to volume move throughput throttle ever make it into ontap 9? I see there was some discussion about this on the list a few years back, with the consensus that it was a known desire to have a throttle in there, and someday maybe it would make it in. I see there is a throttle on the number of concurrent moves, but don't see anything specific to throughput rate.
