8.2 -> 8.3 cDOT upgrade
by John Stoffel 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

Guys, I'm in the planning and setup phase of a four node cDOT 8.2 to 8.3.x upgrade. One thing I need to do is setup all the admin LIFs for my VServers. I've got a bunch of them already, but some have data protocols enabled, and I don't think I can nuke them without alot of hassle. Is there a way under 8.2.3pX to see if a particular LIF is seeing traffic over a particular data protocol? For example, my 'foo' VServer have some LIFs, which have varying data protocols: vserver lif data-protocol -------- ----- ------------- foo admin none foo lif1 nfs foo lif2 nfs,cifs,fcache foo lif3 nfs,cifs,fcache foo lif4 nfs,cifs,fcache Can I see if lifs2-4 have CIFS traffic or not? I've been poking around, but it's not any thing obvious. In the grand scheme of things, I could just rename the probablematic LIFs to some other name and setup new 'admin' LIFs as required. And I do realize they're not required to be call 'admin', it's just a help. Thanks, John

7-Mode End of Support dates ?
by John Adams 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

Hello, I was recently told by NetApp that 8.2 is End of Support on 7/31/2017. Isn't 8.2.4 the last 7-mode version of On-Tap? Does this mean that 7-Mode is completely unsupported as of 7/31/2017? Is there currently a mad rush to convert from 7-Mode to clustered that I'm not aware of ? Thanks.

ONTAP 9 -- Full Disk Encryption (FDE)
by Eric Peng 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

Last year, we acquired an all-flash FAS array (AFF8040) for POC. While this array supports the FDE feature (via SafeNet), the POC requirements did not require us to enable this. As it sometimes goes, POC is potentially turning into "production" and we are currently taking a look at options to see if it makes sense to convert the POC into an actual purchase. Am hoping some of you may have a bit of experience with enabling FDE encryption on an array *after* data already exists on an array. Basically, need to know if the existing data can safely remain on the disks if FDE feature is to be introduced now? I've only come across a piece of NetApp marketing literature that indicates this should be non-disruptive, while the technical whitepapers focus on the nuts and bolts of "how to enable FDE". Can anyone share definitively whether we must first enable FDE on an array that has SED disks, or whether it is actually safe to introduce FDE on the array after it has been put into use? Would like to avoid having to migrate off the data and re-configure the array/cluster if I can.

NFS Export Policy
by Daniel Taylor 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

Hello, We have an volume with an export policy applied: volA = policy1 The policy has client match rules for the ESXi hosts. However when we try and add this volume to an ESXi host we get an error saying mount request denied. If we add a rule to the default export policy within the same SVM the volume is then added without issue. Similarly if we apply 'policy1' to the root volume in the associated SVM we are able to mount 'volA' on the ESXi hosts. Doesn't this kind of defeat the object of having an export policy associated with the volume if the underlying root volume controls the export access? Or is this a bug? We are running 9.1P1. Thanks

AW: X1144A - No link
by Alexander Griesser 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

Hi Mike, Thanks, I had a similar issue with 1G copper SFPs in the past – but that doesn’t seem to apply here since the 40G ports are on an expansion slot and do not seem to be CNA capable: *> cna_flash update all NOTE: The flash update will take up to 30 minutes per update. (Current 2 chip(s) in the system) Do not interrupt power during the update, or you risk flash image corruption. Version (5.0.2) is the same in flash and file No update of flash is needed for port 0e. Version (5.0.2) is the same in flash and file No update of flash is needed for port 0g. -> While the expansion ports are in slot 2. Also, the upgrade to Ontap 9.1 did not solve the issue – will check the cables now when I’m in the datacenter.

I ended up having to apply a firmware update to the UTA2 system, IIRC, from maintenance mode. I have nothing that leads me to believe that is the case here, but it sounds somewhat close. The updated firmware was actually on the system with the code it shipped with, but needed to be manually applied.

RAID Reconstruction after ONTAP upgrade?
by Alexander Griesser 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

Hi, has anyone ever seen a RAID reconstruct happening immediately after an OnTap upgrade? I just upgraded one of my older filers to 8.3.1P2 and it is now running a reconstruction on one of its aggregates for (at least to me) no obvious reason. During the boot up of this controller after the upgrade, I saw the following message on the console which did not show up on the second controller: Creating trace file /etc/log/rastrace/RAID_0_20170402_17:18:00:095890.dmp No disks show as broken, or in maintenance mode, or anything like that - so any hints would be welcome.

Success but queued? Just to see if it was an issue with the upgrade I have created multiple test relationships; Local Aggr1 to aggr2 In reverse Between the 2552 & the 8040's Between the 8040's but getting the same issue; [cid:image012.jpg@01D2A61B.D7A63ED0] Indeed at this point I have come to the same conclusion that we have hit the bug: 1042534 http://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=1042534 [cid:image006.png@01D2A611.FF15CF80] [cid:image007.png@01D2A611.FF15CF80] Has anyone else experienced this? Or can offer up some useful advice as to our next steps. Currently this system is only partially in production as a mv target, so the email spam is not too bad, but we plan to add many relationships very soon. Kind Regards, Chris.

Franken-Filers: FAS2240-2 to FAS2552, DS4246 to FAS2554
by Stephen Stocke 31 Mar '17

Hi All At the end of a current migration and controller upgrade project I'll have some spare FAS2240-2 arrays (with disks) and a spare DS4246 hybrid shelf. I'll also have a pile of FAS255X controllers. Is there any reason that I can't just swap the FAS2240 controller modules for the FAS255X modules and install CDOT on the zeroed disks? What about swapping the IOM6's from the DS4246 and making a FAS2554? All this kit is under support and fully licensed but I'm not too concerned about long-term support. I just want to make use of this gear to run CDOT 9.x in a dev/test lab. Thanks Steve

FAS2552 -> FAS8200 migration
by Chris Good 29 Mar '17

29 Mar '17

Folks, Currently we have a FAS2552 switchless cluster running 9.1. We're planning an upgrade to FAS8200 and considering our migration options. Netapp themselves aren't being terribly forthcoming on the best route to do this. I had hoped that upgrading from a FAS25xx would be a common thing with a reference workflow to go with it. Maybe things are complicated somewhat because the FAS2552 runs ADP and the FAS8200 doesn't. Has anyone been through a similar process or have any recommendations for a route to achieve this? Thanks, Chris
