distributed nfs server testing (any advice?)
by Blake Golliher 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

Hi! Anyone here have advice on distributed nfs benchmarking? I have a netapp GX system, and a few other distributed nfs clusters that I'm trying to figure out how to benchmark. I have a fair number of clients, linux and bsd, and I'm just looking for what others do in this situation. My needs range from HPC type stuff, to just a generic nfs workload for web hosting, do OLTP database on 4 nodes (Oracle 10g RAC). I know no synthetic benchmark is better then the real application. My group at my company is charged with evaluating storage before we put bother the application guys with running their apps on it. I've explored iozone, but it seems to only coordinate runs across hosts, I then have to aggregate the data on my own. I'm looking for a more integrated tool. One that I can load the binary on, then start it from a control host, it starts a workload on a list of systems, and they report back to the control host on performance data. Workloads should include lots of small file creates/reads/access/deletes and large file type stuff as well (like iozone). I'm thinking I'll probably have to task a tools team for this, but I was hoping for something from the OSS community. I'd pay for it as well, but source access would be a nice feature (for my organization, not for me -- it's all moon man language to me). Any advice is appreciated, and if you reply you may do so off the list. I'll compile my answers, and reply to the list. I'll also document my findings on my storage administration blog, filerjedi.com. Thanks! -Blake

RE: Just a spam resource now...

This comes up every so often, but the reason given that the list was open to non-subscribers is because if it didn't then netapp employees wouldn't be able to post, as they receive it through a local exploder. A decision way back at the time was made that the pain of getting spam was worth the value of having Netapp employee's contributions. -- Michael W.

I'd think that moderating new subscribers until they've made a couple of salient on-topic posts that indicate they're not spam-machines would probably go a long way to addressing the issue. I'm not sure if the list owner, or anyone, has time to do that (or what the rate of new subscribers is) though... Simon.

RE: Mixed Mode
by Sphar, Mike 21 Mar '06

I've never allowed Mixed Mode on my filers, another IT department here does though, and I've dealt with the results. Personally, I think it should be called "Why are these file permissions broken again?" Mode. -- Michael W.

Several co-workers returned from NetApp training stating that this particular mode is not encouraged and may be dropped in the not too distant future from NetApp support. Has anyone else heard this or can confirm this to any degree? We are about to set up a new Filer and I'm trying to decide what to do with a volume that is currently configured for mixed mode security on an old Filer. If anyone has experiences changes from mixed mode to either all CIFS or NFS, I'd appreciate their inputs as well. Thanks. Tracy

RE: ServerProtect for NetApps: Alerting Users
by Sphar, Mike 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

What version of OnTap are you using? We're running 6.5.5 and there is a vscan option "client_msgbox". I know about this because we had to turn it off due to a problem with false positives that we couldn't get a resolution on from Mcafee. (Basically no matter what we set the timeout to, on large files the scanner would send back a "still scanning..." message, which the filer would interpret as a virus being identified.) -- Michael W. Sphar - IS&T - Lead Systems Administrator SMBU Engineering Support Services, BMC Software ________________________________ From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Sewell, Cathy Sent: Friday, March 10, 2006 11:41 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: ServerProtect for NetApps: Alerting Users We are using TrendMicro's ServerProtect for NetApps to virus scan all files incoming/outgoing from our NetApps Filers. As expected, when a user attempts to store a file containing malware on a Filer, ServerProtect appropriately takes action on the file (attempting to clean it, then, if that fails, quarantining or deleting the file). While ServerProtect does have some limited alerting capabilities and we do have it setup to alert our IS group when a file is quarantined or deleted, ServerProtect is apparently unable to alert the user - the person who was attempting to store the file on the Filer. Vscan on the Filer initiates the scan of the file, handing it off to the ServerProtect server for scanning, apparently without user information. From the user's perspective, they copy or move a file to the Filer and the file completely disappears with no explanation. The Filer's Vscan does give ServerProtect the originating computer's name. However, using something like "net send <computer name>" is not an option for us as the Messaging service is disabled on our user's Windows workstations. Additionally our users work from a variety of OSes, making an e-mail based solution most desirable. If you've faced this situation, we'd like to know what you've successfully setup to alert users. Thank you for your ideas -

RE: FAS270c disk ownership
by Davin Milun 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

I don't have any FAS270's, but would the following work? If the new disks are the same size as the old disks, is to do a "disk replace" and migrate data from one of the old disks on the other "head" to the required disk on this new shelf. And then transfer ownership of that old disk that you "replaced" from, to the "head" that you want to have all the new disks? Davin.

Jeff, You have it down correctly - in the expansion shelves, one disk must be owned by one head, the others can be owned by the other head. More specifically, it's slot 1 and slot 0 that matter - this is for SES...

These are the only FAS200-series systems we have and we've never added hardware to them. We would like to add all the disks to a single FAS270 node. However, based on what I can see in the documentation, each system must own at least one of the SES disks in each shelf. This means that one disk must be assigned to node #1 and then the others can all be assigned to node #2. Do I have it straight? I'd like to assign them all to node #2 without wasting a 300GB disk on "management overhead". Is that possible?

FAS270c disk ownership
by jeff.mery＠ni.com 20 Mar '06

Hi Everyone, One of our sites has a FAS270c to which they are going to add a shelf (DS14MkII w/ 5 x 300GB disks). These are the only FAS200-series systems we have and we've never added hardware to them. We would like to add all the disks to a single FAS270 node. However, based on what I can see in the documentation, each system must own at least one of the SES disks in each shelf. This means that one disk must be assigned to node #1 and then the others can all be assigned to node #2. Do I have it straight? I'd like to assign them all to node #2 without wasting a 300GB disk on "management overhead". Is that possible?
