Upgrading Data OnTap
by Brent Ellis 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

I would like to upgrade my filer from data ontap 7.1p1 to 7.1.2 and I just want to make sure I am doing it write. I plan on doing the following: 1. disable the cluster 2. mount the c$ share as a drive 3. run the 7.1.2 installer 4. reboot 5. repeat with the other cluster partner 6. enable the cluster. Does that sound right? It seems a little to easy to me Brent Ellis Computing Services Group Boston University 617-358-2486 interi(a)bu.edu cashelp(a)bu.edu

mounting snapshots
by Steven Mandrake 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

Hello, I am having the hardest time understanding fractional space reservations for volumes and lun space reservations. If I reduce fractional space reservations to a volume that contain luns, what happens to lun space reservations? Is there a way to throttle lun space reservations -- as far as I can tell it's just a check box in Filerview.... The main question I have is --- does setting fractional space reservation affect my ability to mount snapshots. I assume that mounting snapshots does not take any space since it's all read-only.... or am i wrong in assuming this? My assumption right now is that fractional space reserve is there if I ever need to mount a snapshot to be read/write --- am I dead wrong? Thanks, Steve

Re: autosupport stops functioning

We had to reboot the filer after deleting the queued autosupports. Not a great solution, but it worked.

Looks like we got hit by the same bug. One of our filer (running 7.0.2) suddenly stopped working. Its partner works fine.

Dirty Parity
by Carl Howell 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

*This is my second attempt to send this to the list. If it shows up twice, I apologize. We had a situation last year in which one of the aggregates on our R100 suffered dirty parity in one of its raid groups which forced us to take the filer down for several hours while we ran WAFL_Check on that aggregate. Given this, I have a few questions: 1. What is the likelihood of getting dirty parity? I assume the likelihood goes up dramatically on a box like the R100 given that the weekly RAID scrubs seldom if ever complete. 2. If this had occurred on a cluster, could we take one node down to run the WAFL_Check, while the other node continues to serve data from the other aggregates? 3. How many of you have encountered something like this and decided to go with SyncMirror to protect against such a thing? Thanks, --Carl

RE: usermap problem
by Glenn Walker 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

No one is stating that you cannot map users with LDAP - however, if the user names are not alike between unix and windows is the key. Reading the ONTAP documentation, you must specify the windowsaccount attribute and the unixaccount attribute. So long as these attributes match, then you should map - if they do not match, then there is no way to map. To enable LDAP-based user-mapping, complete the following steps. 1 From the Data ONTAP command line, specify a value for the option ldap.usermap.attribute.windowsaccount. options ldap.usermap.attribute.windowsaccount account_name account_name is the user object attribute Data ONTAP will use for Windows account lookups. 2 Extend your LDAP schema to include the user object attribute you entered in Step 1. 3 From the Data ONTAP command line, specify a value for the option ldap.usermap.attribute.unixaccount. options ldap.usermap.attribute.unixaccount account_name account_name is the user object attribute Data ONTAP will use for UNIX account lookups. 4 Extend your LDAP schema to include the values you entered in Step 2 and Step 3. 5 Enter the following command: options ldap.usermap.enable on If you have a significant load on your LDAP server, you might want to improve performance by setting a separate search base or search base and scope for user-mapping, as described in the following section. -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Åke Beckman Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 4:50 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: usermap problem It IS possible, as Tom states, to do the usermapping through ldap, it's been around for quite some time..

We need to move data on FAS270C (appr. 2TB) onto another set of disks. There is a single aggregate that contains root volume and one or two (on two heads respectively) large volumes with single LUN on each. All volumes except root are 100% full. DOT 7.0.3. Disks are 146GB 10K, RAID_DP, 14 disks on each head (average). Target set is 300GB 10K, RAID_DP, 11 disks on each head.

No the questions are - How are chances that without client load vol copy will be faster? What can explain that miserable performance for relatively small data set? - Which speed can be expected under these conditions?

If yes - how can I then switch root aggregate? To clarify - first I restrict target aggregate and make aggr copy. Then I put target aggregate online and get duplicate volumes, do not I? I _hope_ that filer will rename them, anyone can confirm? - any chance updating to 7.0.5 *before* copy will help? Thank you and I appreciate your answers.

Maximum number of groups per user
by Francois Joubert 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi I am new to the list. I have been trying to get a definitive statement from NetApp about the maximum number of groups a user can belong to if we rely on the /etc/group and /etc/passwd files on the filer. The setup we have tested has CIFS clients (Windows2000) with the filer part of a workgroup. We rely on unix group permissions for access to data directories. We are not using any NFS, NIS, LDAP or NT domain - all local authentication etc. I have done some testing and it appears the limit is 32 (not a surprising number) but have not been able to get this confirmed. Has anyone tried/done this before? We are migrating from samba servers running on FreeBSD with modified kernels which allow users to be in thousands of groups (don't laugh; I don't want to go into the reasons) because this facilitates our companies working practices. Thanks Francois

SANOWN not enabled

Hello, I recently replaced a brocade switch in my fabric. trying to see if my NTAP is connected to the switch. If I type normal commands like storage show fabric and switch -- I do not get a returned value. But one thing confuses me --- when I type 'storage show initiators' --- I get 'SANOWN not enabled' What does this mean? Now site doesn't have any information. Does this need to be enabled for NTAP to work on FC-SAN?
