RE: Snap restore monitoring

Snap Status might be what you're looking for. I know it shows creating status, and if I recall it will show volume rollback. Worst case scenario, they will be logged into the messages file. It's a very quick process (except for SFSR), so I'm unsure if you'll get much out of monitoring it actively.

RE: Questions regarding snapshots
by Glenn Walker 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

There have been a few bugs in the past where multiple simultaneous snapshot creation attempts would step on one another (snapmirror and backups all create snapshots in order to function). I think most of these have been resolved in later ontap releases (beyond 7.0.2). To be safe, I wouldn't try to take an hourly snapshot and backup at the same time... As for performance, there's always the possibility of having issues due to snapmirror and backup running at the same time, but it would be based on disk I/O - if you're throttling snapmirrors you probably won't notice much. Regarding the snapshot creation process itself, you'd have to have a pretty heavily loaded filer to notice performance degradation due to snapshot creation\deletion (to the point of it being overloaded, generally). As with anything ONTAP, the bugs typically only come to the surface if the filer is at max performance capacity.

RE: 3020 Cluster: which one is management interface
by Fox, Adam 03 Jan '07

There never was any requirement or designation of a "management" port in ONTAP. Most filers pre-3000 series had a single on-board 100Mb port that many decided would be a management port, but it possesed no special privledges or function other than it was the port that the filer would obtain its first address via DHCP if the filer booted and was not configured. For filers with multiple on-board ports, that port is the "e0a" port (same as the FAS 250/270). But that's really the only thing special about the on-board port. If you CHOOSE to make one of the ports a management port, you can, but you don't have to. You could use vlan tagging as specified below so you don't chew up a port. Or if by "management" port you just want a separate port to login to the port, consider using the RLM port (if your filer has one, I think you have to order a 3020 with one, but the 3050 and above have them standard) as the management port. Just a thought. -- Adam Fox NGS Tools Developer adamfox(a)netapp.com _____ From: Linux Admin [mailto:sysadmin.linux@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2007 6:01 PM To: Blake Golliher; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: 3020 Cluster: which one is management interface Blake, Thanks!

3020 Cluster: which one is management interface
by Linux Admin 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Folks, Not familiar with 3020 series at all. I see 4 nics (e0a, e0b, e0c,e0d) on the back of each head. Does it mean I have sacrifice one to be management and only 3 are available as data? Have NetApp change things? Or can I used all 4 in single/multi vips? I was going to do e0a and e0c in single A, e0b and and e0d in single B, and Multi VIP C on top of Sinlge A and Single B. Not sure what to do about management. Thanks for help
