moving CIFS shares
by Peter D. Gray 08 May '18

08 May '18

Hi people, Background: we have 20 odd volumes for fileshares. We limit the size of the volumes to 10T. When a volume gets near full, we need to shuffle shares to new volumes or volumes with plenty of space. Does anybody have a magical solution for moving fileshares between volumes? With minimal but not necessarily zero downtime? Obvious solutions are: 1) Down share, copy share to new volume, up share 2) Down share, clone volume, up share on new volume, split volume, cleanup mess. I was wondering if anybody has seen a system to proxy the share and move it in the background. I have seen this work with NFS shares but not with CIFS. Any magicians out there? Regards, pdg

Anyone else have to wait 1-3 minutes after logging into support.netapp.com staring at a white screen before you can do anything? Asking for a friend. K-thanks.

Attack of the Zombies
by Ehrenwald, Ian 27 Apr '18

27 Apr '18

Is anyone familiar with messages such as these, and how to diagnose what volume(s) on what aggregate is triggering it? 4/27/2018 11:24:31 node1 NOTICE wafl.zombie.susp.msg.threshold: WAFL(R) is experiencing zombie throttling possibly due to requests for large number of file deletions. This can be mitigated by a combination of a) reducing the load on the system, b) issuing the file deletion requests in smaller batches and c) increasing the limits to allow more zombies to be queued on the system (Please contact technical support). I'm troubleshooting a latency/performance issue and this caught my eye in the event logs. Web searches aren't really coming up with anything useful and there is mention of it in the NetApp KB but no real background information or troubleshooting steps. Also, the (R)egistered Trademark after WAFL in the notice is weird to have in a technical event log.

Windows Host Utilities for Server 2016
by Alexander Griesser 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

Hey there, does anyone know when we can expect working Windows host utilities for Server 2016? The current release (7.1) refuses to install due to a broken dependency check on hotfix 2796995. Also DSM MPIO 4.1P1 for windows refuses to install because of a broken dependency check for Powershell 2.0.

Hello, Is there a way to see the changed/deleted files that are taking space in snapshots? (7 Mode, 8.2 NFS/CIFS access.) Thanks.

NDMP dump dates
by Edward Rolison 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

I've been trying to find how this is done for CDOT, and keep on running into 7-Mode references. I'm using NDMP to take backups of volumes. How can I tell what the NDMP reference 'dump date' is? Is it written to a file somewhere? (e.g. like /etc/dumpdates) Thanks and regards, Ed.

SIS Failure
by Chris Hague 03 Apr '18

03 Apr '18

Started receiving the below alert for one particular DP volume... Message: sis.op.aborted: SIS operation for /vol/sv_data01@vserver:7d1c6sdfsdfa01c55 has aborted: Metafile does not exist The volume is only 1% full so I don't believe it is disk space related. Any ideas ?

cdot snapmirror: how to delete stalled relationship?
by Momonth 26 Mar '18

26 Mar '18

Hi, I decommissioned a CDOT cluster and only then discovered it was in a SM relationship (in broken-off state), as a source. If I now try to delete the relationship, it fails with: Warning: Unable to list entries in cluster "decommed-cluster". Failed to contact peer cluster "decommed-cluster" at addresses: 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.. RPC: Remote system error [from mgwd on node "mynode" (VSID: -1) to mgwd at 3.3.3.3, 4.4.4.4] Error: command failed: Volume "my_volume" not found. (Failed to contact peer cluster "decommed-cluster" at addresses: 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2. RPC: Remote system error [from mgwd on node "my-node" (VSID: -1) to mgwd at 3.3.3.3, 4.4.4.4]) Any ideas maybe of how to unscrew it? "-force" flag does not help. Cheers, Vladimir

Epsilon and root move from an aggr to another
by Milazzo Giacomo 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

Hi everybody, past friday during an operation given as NDO we've had a service interruption on NAS component. We had to move the root aggregate from some old disks to new ones and we've literally followed the procedure reported here (our cDOT is 8.3.2P9 on a 4 nodes cluster) https://kb.netapp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/1030179 In a very simple way it says: A. Check for epsilon on the node you've to migrate and move it to another node A.1 there's a warining about SAN protocols interruptions but we DID NOT have SAN protocols running, only NFS/CIFS. B. Lif migration after the aggregate relocation Well, NFS was restarted and all servers and apps belonging to it went down! I let you imagine customer reaction... Also console after this command: system node modify -node node01 -eligibility false give us a warning about SAN disruption. As I wrote it did not matter us. Only after that we've found on manual this, but as usual manuals are always less updated than knowledgebase so it could be the last place where to find fresh informations! https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1367947/html/GUID-AB52F821-3A25-4E02… Moving epsilon for certain manually initiated takeovers Note: Although cluster formation voting can be modified by using the cluster modify -eligibility false command, you should avoid this except for situations such as restoring the node configuration or prolonged node maintenance. If you set a node to be ineligible, it stops serving SAN data until the node is reset to eligible and rebooted. NAS data access to the node might also be affected when the node is ineligible. And, what does it mean "might be". I translate that as a "nobody knows, try..." Now the most important question (we must migrate other three nodes!) is this: Assuming that we've well understood that 1. migrate lif and only 2. epsilon false, it there an official answer/doc with updated information that ensure that is this the right procedure to avoid also NAS protocols interruption?
