Strange errors when inserting used X302A-R5 BSAS disk into DS4246 shelf
by Florian Schmid 17 Feb '23

17 Feb '23

Hi, we have an old NetApp dev cluster containing a pair of FAS 8060 nodes and several DS4246 shelves with 1TB X302A-R5 BSAS disk. I have replaced several disks already over the last years and never had issues to do so, but this time, I have tried 2 disks and both have reported the same strange issues on this shelf port. The port of the shelf I would think, is fine, because NetApp has reported a broken spare disk on this port, but nothing special. When I look on NetApp site, I don't find a real solution here, so I hope someone of you can help me here? This errors I'm getting: 2/14/2023 18:24:45 node-02 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 0d.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(9997). 2/14/2023 18:22:06 node-02 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 0d.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). 2/14/2023 18:20:01 node-02 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 0d.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). 2/14/2023 18:19:01 node-01 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 1a.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). 2/14/2023 18:17:56 node-02 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 0d.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). 2/14/2023 18:16:06 node-01 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 1a.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). 2/14/2023 18:15:51 node-02 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 0d.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). 2/14/2023 18:14:01 node-01 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 1a.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). 2/14/2023 18:13:46 node-02 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 0d.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). 2/14/2023 18:11:41 node-02 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 0d.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). 2/14/2023 18:09:36 node-02 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 0d.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). 2/14/2023 18:09:01 node-01 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 1a.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). 2/14/2023 18:07:31 node-02 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 0d.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). 2/14/2023 18:05:26 node-02 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 0d.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). 2/14/2023 18:04:01 node-01 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 1a.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). 2/14/2023 18:03:21 node-02 ERROR scsi.cmd.checkCondition: Unknown device 0d.11.10: Check Condition: CDB 0x12: Sense Data SCSI:illegal request - (0x5 - 0x20 0x0 0x0)(0). disk show -disk 2.11.10 There are no entries matching your query. The disk is not recognized and NetApp is throwing this errors... Both disks have been bought from a known second hand shop, where we never had issues in the past with "used" parts. We are running 9.7 on the cluster with a relatively new disk qualification package. I would also say, that those old disks haven't got any firmware updates for the last 3 years or so... Thank you very much in advance. Best regards, Florian

Service-Policies does not restrict SSH...
by Heino Walther 05 Jan '23

05 Jan '23

Hi there I am trying to restrict which IP addresses can reach the SSH port on the default cluster management interface… I first cloned the default-management service-policy to a new policy… I then restrict the service “management-ssh” to a specific range, say 10.0.2.0/24 I then modify the cluster lif and the two node management interfaces, so that they use my new service-policy. But… I am still able to ssh into the system from 10.10.10.0/24… which makes no sense at all… If I do the same to the management-https it _does_ work as expected… The “old” firewall is enabled, and all policies are set to 0.0.0.0/0 (I think this old firewall is depreciated… ) So it there something specific about ssh? (ONTAP 9.12.1) Personally I think the “firewall” features are a mess on ONTAP at the moment… also the fact that you can only open up for IP ranges, and not specific IP addresses… so the “best” you can do is /30 I guess? Why not just allow specific IP or even ranges.. like 10.10.10.5, 10.10.10.5-10, and 10.10.20.0/24 Any help or input is appreciated 😊 /H

Two node MetroCluster performance issues?
by Heino Walther 21 Dec '22

21 Dec '22

Hi there I have a setup with a two node Fabric MetroCluster with A300 nodes and four Brocade 6510 switches places about 10KM from each other. Our ESXi 7.0 hosts connects via 16G FC using another four frontend Brocade 6510 switches. Our ESXi hosts can see four paths for each LUN they are presented from the SVMs. ESXi show all four paths as Active (I/O) which I find a bit odd, because two of the paths are remote to the ESXi hosts… Both the ESXi and the igroup on the NetApp is configured for ALUA… but I have googled that there can be issues with this, and maybe we have those issues… The main issue is that if we do a few performance tests across different datastores (local and remote to the ESXi host), we see OK performance for the local datastores (800+MB/sec.) but if we try to test against a datastore that is remote to the ESXi host we see 50-60MB/sec. which is a huge difference and leads us to question the setup… We are aware that especially writing to a remote datastore will involve a transfer to the remote controller (10KM) this controller then has to write this to it’s peer (remote) controller (10KM) the remote peer than has to send an ack. back to the peer (10KM) which then sends an ack. to the ESXi host (10KM) so all in all 40KM plus waiting for the systems… it is not ideal, but is this kind of performance normal? The two nodes does have an ethernet based cluster interconnect which is currently linked at 1Gb, and I am beginning to suspect that the data between the two nodes is going via this link? But the more I think about it, the more it does not make sense? Our FC interswitch links are running 8Gb, but on the switches we see nothing near saturation of any ports… and we of cause also checked for port errors of any kind… If anyone has a similar setup, any help would be great… we are doing a few more tests, but we are close to opening a case with NetApp… /B

Migration to DS4486 shelf?
by Heino Walther 05 Dec '22

05 Dec '22

Hi there Because of space constraints I am planning to move my 3 pcs. DS212C into a DS4486. But I have a few questions 😊 My existing disks are X318 (8TB NL-SAS), and I think the caddies for the DS4486 are also SAS, so that should technically fit? Does the NetApp see 24 or 48 disks from the DS4486? Because I plan to reuse existing disks with aggregates on them… I can see the DS4486 use special PN as spare disks because the caddy has two disks installed. How does NetApp handle the replacement when one disk of the two dies? I know the healthy disk is also copied to a spare before you can replace the caddy, but do you then replace both disks, or do you just replace the broken disk of the two? I also have plans on replacing the IOM6 modules with IOM12 just as you can in the DS4246 shelfs.. any issues with that? I know this is close if not far beyond what is supported 😉 /Heino Heino Walther<https://www.linkedin.com/in/heinowalther/> Beardmann ApS<http://beardmann.dk/> Jellingvej 9 - 7100 Vejle<https://goo.gl/maps/xQVPFMHXpXu> D: 7199 9060 M: 2075 7501

NetApp Hardware IOM12 question...
by Heino Walther 29 Nov '22

29 Nov '22

Hi there Are the IOM12 modules from ONTAP and E-Series interchangeable ? ONTAP PN: X5720A E-SERIES PN: E-X5720A They look the same, but do they have the same FW installed? And/or are ONTAP/E-Series able to overwrite the FW with their shelf firmware? (We are only talking the IOM12 modules, the disks and the shelf is E-Series (original)) /Heino

SV: NetApp backup to 3rd party S3 storage
by Heino Walther 29 Nov '22

29 Nov '22

Hi Florian The short answer is no. What the cloud-backup as you call it, does, it to move “older” datablocks to an S3 target or it can move blocks in your snapshots. So the information of where the blocks are stored is still in the original volume, and you need to back that information up either by SnapMirror/Vault or an NDMP dump. Also, if you plan using anything else than another ONTAP or StorageGRID, you will need to buy license… If you do not have another NetApp system to SnapMirror to, I would look into NDMP backup as an option… it is supported by most backup products like BackupExec etc… /Heino Fra: Florian Schmid <fschmid(a)ubimet.com> Dato: mandag, 28. november 2022 kl. 14.45 Til: toasters(a)teaparty.net <toasters(a)teaparty.net> Emne: NetApp backup to 3rd party S3 storage Hi there, I wanted to ask, if someone knows or has this done already, if you can backup your on premise NetApp Ontap volumes to a 3rd party S3 storage. As far as I understand this so called "cloud-backup", it can send snapshot diffs (block based) to a S3 storage like AWS or on-premise StorageGrid nodes. But would this also work to 3rd party S3 storage tools like minIO? Let's image we have a huge on-premise S3 storage running minIO or what ever vendor, can I use this also as a target for my Ontap volume backup? NetApp itself is only mentioning 3rd party S3 storage for tiering, but not for backup. If this is not possible, is there another possibility to backup volume snapshot diffs to a non netapp storage? It must be block based and not file based backup. Best regards Florian

I don't believe this would happen just within Netapp software. You would need a 3rd party data mover (backup software - netbackup, rubrik). It would also need to support snapdiff if you just want to be reading diffs. Many of these products will write only incrementals to the s3 back and storage though, regardless of how its reading the data.

Hi Florian, According to their marketing materials ( https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/cloud-manager-backup-restore/concept-ontap-ba…) they still only support storagegrid for on prem object storage. Strategically, I believe they are using this as a way to gain on-prem object storage footprint in customer accounts. Sticking to block-based solutions means playing by their rules. Cheers!
