AD Group enumeration problem?
by Ehrenwald, Ian 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

Hello everyone I'm having a problem where users with more than 16 group memberships are unable to perform operations on files or directories that live on NFS volumes and are owned by groups that they are members of. This seems to be the classic and documented RPC spec limit as blogged about at http://www.xkyle.com/solving-the-nfs-16-group-limit-problem/ and discussed in various forum posts when doing web searches for the old 7-mode option "nfs.authsys.extended_groups_ns.enable" and "nfs.max_num_aux_groups". I've found the cDOT options "auth-sys-extended-groups" and "extended-groups-limit" within the "vserver nfs" tree, and have adjusted them to "enabled" and "64" (my test user is a member of 29 groups). However, the problem I am observing still remains. I tried unmounting and remounting my test volume on my test host (RHEL7.3 x86_64) with no observable change in behavior. My SVMs are talking LDAP to Active Directory in a Windows 2008R2 forest level. My SVM LDAP client schema is a copy of AD-IDMU with a single change, uid-attribute is set to sAMAccountName. If I go into diag mode and issue "getxxbyyy getgrlist -vserver MySvm -username MyTestUser -node MyNode", I get back this: pw_name: MyTestUser Groups: 1154000513 While still in diag mode I issue "secd authentication show-creds -node MyNode -vserver MySvm -unix-user-name MyTestUser" and get back: UNIX UID: MyTestUser <> Windows User: MyDomain\MyTestUser (Windows Domain User) GID: Domain Users Supplementary GIDs: Domain Users Windows Membership: *(A list of 29 other groups as defined in Active Directory)* BUILTIN\Users (Windows Alias) User is also a member of Everyone, Authenticated Users, and Network Users So it looks like getxxbyyy is either only getting back the users' primary group, or its not enumerating the supplementary group memberships? Based on some suggestions from Support, I tried changing the LDAP client configuration to use port 3268 (global catalog) instead of 389 (ldap) but that actually resulted in no user information being returned. I also tried setting a preferred DC within the LDAP client configuration (option "preferred-ad-servers") with no change in returned data. I tried setting a preferred DC with the ldap server port back at 389 too, no difference. Our DNs do have commas in them. Example taken from within AD: CN=Lastname\, Firstname,OU=SomeDivision,OU=SomeCompany,DC=SomeDomain,DC=SomeBigOrg,DC=com . Could this cause problems? I did see some brief mention of an old hidden 7-mode option "ldap.skip_cn_unescape.enable" but can't find a cDOT equivalent. Does anyone have experience with this problem and can provide some hints?

What is the best practice for formating a NTFS partion to be used for MS SQL data drive on the VMWARE VMthat is residing on NFS (not VMFS or RDM) datastore.Is it still 4K? MS recommendations are for larger size (64K)NFS datastore!

global snapmirror throttle wastes another 2 days
by Peter D. Gray 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

Some time back I wasted 5 days trying to find out why my snapmirrors were not keeping up. Netapp eventually very kindly told me about the global snapmirror throttle which I immediately disabled on all nodes and snapmirror speeds went up by a factor of 10. Life was sweet. Till this week. Again my snapmirrors could not keep up. But I knew it could not be the global snapmirror throttle because I had disabled that before. It had to be network right? We had made some network changes. After 2 days I decided the symptoms were suffiently similar for me to revisit the global snapmirror throttle, and yes, sure enough the settings had reverted to enabled. I suspect this is because we power cycled our netapp heads as part of a DR exercise. It looks like when the head comes up the setting to disable the global snapmirror throttle is lost. Great stuff. So, its up to a total of 7 days lost because of the global snapmirror throttle which as I said before seems to exist solely for the purpose of making sure things do not work properly. Sorry, I had to vent. Regards, pdg

What's using up my disks?
by Rhodes, Richard L. 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

Hello, We have a series of old IBM N3220 (NetApp 2240-2) running Data ONTAP Release 8.1.2P1 7-Mode. We are actively migrating off these systems and plan to be off of them by early next month. One of the systems is for DR. It's a snapmirror target as well as a snapvault source. We snapmirror vols from a prod system to this DR system, and then snapvault the vols to another system for a 2nd copy at the DR site. So all this DR system does (normally) is receive snapmirrors and is the source for snapvaults. PROD pair --sm--> DR pair --sv--> snapvault target system Over the past days the snapvaults have been running REAL slow. A snapvault that used to run in a few minutes is now running up to an hour or more. When NO snapmirror (target) or snapvault (source) is running, there is constant disk READ activity that is hitting the disks at 100% util. The sysstats below are taken when no snapmirror or snapvault activity is happening. The system is idle as far as any work goes. sdnapr0666a> sysstat -u -i 2 CPU Total Net kB/s Disk kB/s Tape kB/s Cache Cache CP CP Disk ops/s in out read write read write age hit time ty util 14% 0 1 1 9886 726 0 0 1 96% 61% T 100% 14% 0 2 2 9792 12 0 0 1 96% 100% : 100% 43% 0 2 33 12144 106 0 0 1 97% 100% : 100% 34% 0 5 75 10560 142 0 0 1 96% 100% : 100% 15% 0 0 0 10434 24 0 0 1 96% 57% : 100% 14% 0 23 558 10200 4 0 0 1 96% 0% - 100% 16% 0 1 0 10618 12 0 0 1 96% 0% - 100% 14% 0 0 0 10548 16 0 0 1 96% 0% - 100% sdnapr0666a> sysstat -s -i 2 CPU NFS CIFS iSCSI Net kB/s Disk kB/s iSCSI kB/s Cache in out read write in out age 15% 0 0 0 0 0 11372 4 0 0 1 15% 0 0 0 23 558 9912 62 0 0 1 14% 0 0 0 1 0 10692 18 0 0 1 15% 0 0 0 0 0 11240 0 0 0 1 15% 0 0 0 0 0 10624 12 0 0 1 16% 0 0 0 23 558 10384 16 0 0 1 15% 0 0 0 0 0 10902 548 0 0 1 14% 0 0 0 0 0 10484 16 0 0 1 The disks (a shelf of SATA disks) are getting pounded.

RE: NFS issue after upgrading filers to 9.2P2
by Steiner, Jeffrey 24 Jan '18

It takes a lot for an ONTAP system to flat-out be unable to respond. Unless the timeout parameters are exceedingly short, you shouldn't reach that point, especially with anything capable of running ONTAP 9.2. I'd open a support case on this one. In addition, if you want to trigger an autosupport and send me the serial numbers directly I can take a glance at a few stats to see if anything looks odd. From: Fenn, Michael [mailto:fennm@DEShawResearch.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2018 6:23 PM To: Steiner, Jeffrey <Jeffrey.Steiner(a)netapp.com>; Mark Saunders <Mark.Saunders(a)pcmsgroup.com>; toasters(a)teaparty.net Subject: Re: NFS issue after upgrading filers to 9.2P2 The messages are not necessarily indicative of a network problem. The kernel prints "nfs: server … not responding, still trying" when an operation times out (timeo deciseconds) for the configured (retrans) number of tries. Once the server responds, then it prints "nfs: server … OK". Networking problems are certainly one reason that an operation would time out, but not the only reason. An overloaded or down file server will cause the same effect.

The packets are going through, then they succeed when the NFS client retries, then they pause again. I can't think why an ONTAP upgrade of this type would cause such a problem. If it was working before, it should be working now. If you had any kind of a locking, firewall, or general configuration problem you should have no access whatsoever. I've seen some weird NFS bug sin SUSE, but that RHEL version should be fine. What are the mount options used, and are you using DNFS?

Implementing NSE FDE on an existing system
by jordan slingerland 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

I have an 8040 currently running CM 9.1P1. All disks are SED but currently in protection-mode open mode. Is there a method to convert the existing disks/aggregates to protection-mode full? Is enabling encryption on spare disks and preforming a disk replace 1 or 2 disks at a time a viable option? That sounds time consuming but I don't have 100TB of swing space.

Node(s) Out of Quorum During Takeover
by Philbert Rupkins 06 Jan '18

06 Jan '18

Hello, Just inherited a new 4-node ONTAP 9.1P9 cluster. First order of business - testing manual failover functionality. # CLUSTER INITIAL STATE HA PAIR 1: node1 - epsilon, master node2 - secondary HA PAIR 2: node3 - secondary node4 - secondary The node I intended to takeover (node1) was both the master and held the Epsilon. I moved Epsilon to a node in an HA pair that would remain up (node4). However, per the "cluster ring" output, the node I planned to takeover (node1) was still the master. # CLUSTER NODE1 PRE-TAKEOVER STATE HA PAIR 1: node1 - master node2 - secondary HA PAIR 2: node3 - secondary node4 - epsilon, secondary I initiated the takeover of node1 and received "Node(s) Out of Quorum" alerts from the three other members of the cluster. The cluster seemed to be happy after the takeover/giveback was complete. The "cluster ring" output showed the master role had been assumed by another node. # CLUSTER POST NODE1 TAKEOVER/GIVEBACK STATE HA PAIR 1: node1 - secondary node2 - master HA PAIR 2: node3 - secondary node4 - epsilon, secondary Is it normal to receive "Node(s) Out of Quorum" alerts when performing a manual takeover of the master node? Are these alerts the result of an election being forced? Thanks, Phil
