nfs logging / debugging
by Zeitschel, Philipp 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Hi, I'm new to this list, and my english is not very well... i've got some nfs problems, so i wan't to read some log's. With the option nfs.mountd.trace on the filer logs some stuff to /etc/log/ems, is that right? the ems log, looks like some pseudo xml, is there a special tool to analyze the file? are there other possibilitys to debug nfs on the filer? NetApp Release 7.2.3 greeting Philipp

Meanwhile i read the documents and it looks like ndmpcopy is the best option as i have limited downtime (3hrs total). I will also try out VFM and robocopy on the simulator. I would like to thank each one of you for taking time to answer the queries. We have ordered few more Filers and i hope to improve my knowledge of the netapp systems by then. If I get stuck somewhere, I now know whom to ask... :) Thank you very much.

copying qtree
by Lohit 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Hello experts, I am very new to the netapp world. Sorry if this has been answered already or if it sounds stupid.I have the following situation, What we have is a FAS940 with DS14MK2 shelves(3nos). There is a qtree "proj-CFD" which is 200GB in size and the containing volume is 500GB. The volume is 90% full. I have been asked to increase the space for the qtree to 400GB. Previous admin created the aggregate(Aggr1) with a raidsize of 8 and there are two raidgroups with 8disks in each raidgroup. I have three spares and adding these to the current aggregate would create another raidgroup of 3 disks and i will be left with 1 usable disk (we have raid_dp) and also i will have no spares left. But fortunately there is another aggregate(Aggr2) with a raidsize of 16 and there are 14 disks in that aggregate now. Now my question is, how can move the "proj-CFD" qtree to a volume in Aggr2 with minimum downtime and keeping all the ACLs intact(It is ntfs only). Thanks -- With warm regards Lohit

FS3040 FC ports
by Ed Reidenbach 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Can someone confirm that the FC ports on the motherboard of the FAS3040 are the same 2Gbit/s FC as those on the FAS3020? I know there is also 4Gbit/s but thought these were only available as a optional FC HBA in the FAS3040. Can you also confirm the type of FC ports on the FAS6070. Are they 2 or 4 Gbit/s FC? How do they compare to the motherboard FC interfaces on the FAS3040. Thanks Ed

Thanks If I load a new version of Data ONTAP like the latest 7.2.x GA/ GD on the FAS3020/3050, will the same FC driver that is used on the new FAS3040 get loaded as a driver update for the motherboard-based FC ports on the FAS3020? ________________________________ From: Sullivan, Justin [mailto:Justin.Sullivan@netapp.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2007 5:01 AM To: Ed Reidenbach ; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: FS3040 FC ports The FAS3040, FAS3070, FAS6030 and FAS6070 onboard FC ports are 1/2/4Gbps capable, software assignable as initiator or target ports.

VMWare/Netapp TR-3428 question
by Glenn Dekhayser 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Hi all, There's a VBS script in TR3428 that works with VCenter/VCB to do the hot snaps on quiesced VM machines/netapp volumes. I see that it calls the ssh command (as there is no rsh in VI3 I think). Question is, for the windows side, what's the best way to get an ssh client going? I don't think that plink works with this script, although I'm sure I could modify it to do so, but I'd rather use the ssh client that was meant to be used with the script. Is it openSSH?

Fwd: copying qtree

The other responses you've got so far pointed out that QSM would be the best choice to move the data to a volume on another aggregate. But I'd like to point out that it actually is possible to add some of those spare disks to your existing aggregate aggr1 with raidsize 8 & raid_dp. First you need to bump your raidsize for that aggregate using the "aggr options" command. Next, when adding disks to your aggregate, use the "-g" option to the "aggr add" command to specify the raid group you want to add the disks to. You will need to use the "-f" flag to force this, too (and you shouldn't be doing this if you ever want to go back to ONTAP 6.2). Here's what it looks like on a simulator (I started with a raid group size of 4 for demonstration purposes only): filer*> sysconfig -r Aggregate aggrtest (online, raid_dp) (block checksums) Plex /aggrtest/plex0 (online, normal, active) RAID group /aggrtest/plex0/rg0 (normal) RAID Disk Device HA SHELF BAY CHAN Pool Type RPM Used (MB/blks) Phys (MB/blks) --------- ------ ------------- ---- ---- ---- ----- -------------- -------------- dparity v4.32 v4 2 0 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 parity v4.18 v4 1 2 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 data v4.33 v4 2 1 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 data v4.19 v4 1 3 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 RAID group /aggrtest/plex0/rg1 (normal) RAID Disk Device HA SHELF BAY CHAN Pool Type RPM Used (MB/blks) Phys (MB/blks) --------- ------ ------------- ---- ---- ---- ----- -------------- -------------- dparity v4.20 v4 1 4 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 parity v4.34 v4 2 2 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 data v4.21 v4 1 5 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 data v4.35 v4 2 3 FC:B - FCAL N/A 36/74752 42/87168 Aggregate aggr0 (online, raid0) (block checksums) ... filer*> aggr options aggrtest nosnap=off, raidtype=raid_dp, raidsize=4, ignore_inconsistent=off, snapmirrored=off, resyncsnaptime=60, fs_size_fixed=off, snapshot_autodelete=on, lost_write_protect=on filer*> aggr options aggrtest raidsize 16 filer*> aggr add aggrtest -f -g rg0 1 Addition of 1 disk to the aggregate has been initiated.

snapmirror question
by Alexander Schalek 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hi, I have a short snapmirror question for the experts... I try to set up a qtree snapmirror where the source is a snapshot (-s option) I couldn't find any example with a snapshot as source and every syntax I tried failed. The source should be a snapshot named snapshot.latest on volume testvol1. what I tried: snapmirror initialize -s snapshot.latest -S 3020:vol/testvol1/source_qtree 270:vol/testvol2/dest_qtree can someone please post an example with a snapshout as source... thanks a lot! cheers, alex

Bugs Online behavior/enhancement/bug
by Todd C. Merrill 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

So, I've been working with our SE's on trying to pick a new release to which to upgrade. I've also been doing my own research with the Bugs Online part of the NOW site. I either haven't figured out how it works, or the feature doesn't exist. If someone could tell me which one... :) Starting at the Release Comparison Tool: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/relcmp.on I click on one release and enter another (not on the pre-determined list). I leave "fixes" set (I assume this means "bugs") and choose the checkbox "Filter Bugs to list of watched bugs." Then I click "go." The result I get back is what confuses me. It only shows me 8 bugs. There are 47 bugs on my watch list. What about the other 39 bugs? Do I assume they are fixed in both releases (dangerous!)? Or, was there no state change of that bug in both releases (e.g., it is still *not* fixed in both releases)? It's ambiguous. I really want to know the state of all my watched bugs in both these releases. Feature enhancement request: The ability to get a table of my watched bugs for more than two releases. Bug report (?): After getting the abovementioned list of 8 bugs, if I click the "arrow" icon to sort by severity, it will show me ALL the bugs in those releases (more than 8, more than 47... more like a few hundred), not just the pre-filtered ones (that checkbox is still checked when I click the sort arrow). I would expect it to sort only what is shown. Until next time...
