Re: Incremental NDMP backup after volume migration.
by Roger Stansfield 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

After getting some advice on this list (don't use ndmpcopy, use Snapmirror), I raised this as a support case with NetApp. Since someone asked me feed back any answers to toasters, here is the essence of the NetApp reply after they had made a practical test: After doing: incremental Veritas Netbackup by ndmp of vol2 ndmpcopy /vol/vol2 /vol/vol2flex (to migrate to a flexible volume, vol2 is traditional) vol rename vol2 vol2trad vol rename vol2flex vol2 An incremental Netbackup by ndmp of vol2 now backs up all files (as a level 0).

Re: moving shelves between heads
by Blake Golliher 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Yup that will work just fine. You should watch to make sure the network cards are in the same spots as they are in your replacement head, or you'll be stuck trying to configure the nic on the console with only rdfile/wrfile to do it*. You don't need to worry about the disk HBA's at all, they can be anywhere allowable. I witnessed this happen in production not long ago, with a 840 to a 960. Worked as smooth as anything. Of course that's only true if you maintain platform arch. Since the 840 is an Intel based system, and the 960 is an Intel based system it works fine. But if you have a 760, and you want to just attach it's shelves to a 960 and have it boot, there are problem since the 760 is an Alpha (DEC/Alpha 21164 proc @600mhz, 'cause I knew you were going to ask) under the hood, OnTap will have to be changed before it'll work. It's not impossible, just harder. But that's only if you have a 980 you want to be a spare for a 760, or visa versa. Probably not to relevant. But then, I'm rambling. Whatever happened to the idea of partitioned nvram cards on the filer, with infiniband switches for something close to N+1 failover? Like, having 5 heads with 4 in production, the 5th is a hot standby that can be a cluster partner to any one of the 4 production systems. If one of the 4 nodes crash, that 5th head is available to do a CFO for that head. That'd be hot. Toss in a vixel (dumb)switch for disk connectivity... -Blake *when, oh WHEN, will there be something other then 1980's concat type editor OnTap?

moving shelves between heads
by John Jetmore 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

My company is working on upgrading our netapp infrastructure. At the moment we have quite a few F760s with a spare F760 head we can swap out if any of the others die. Someone today raised a question of whether the spare head had to be the same as the production head. That is, could we commit to buying anything from the 900 series lineand then use, say, a 980 to spare for a 960? So the question boils down to, could I take the shelves off of a 960 and move them to a 980 and have it "just work"? I have my own guess on whether it would work but I though someone may no for sure or have tried it. Thanks --John

VFM/StorageX remote replication agent capacity/scalability
by Hill, Aaron 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

Hi there, Does anyone have any capacity/scalability limitations they can share regarding VFM (or StorageX) and its remote replication agents? I cannot seem to get any information from Network Appliance. Scenario; * Using VFM 5.5 to manage (and monitor) the replication of data from 1 filer to many (maybe 1000+) Windows 2003 servers. * 1-way replication over many WAN links of varying capacity, latency etc. Effectively a "push" from filer to Windows servers. * Windows servers have the remote replication agent installed. * Data will be scheduled to transfer during specific times. * Expected maximum of 1-2Gb of data to be baseline synchronisation. * Expected <1mb per day changes to be replicated. Has anyone implemented anything of this scale or larger? Is there a maximum number of replications that a single VFM server & the replication agent infrastructure can manage? Is it a function of VFM/StorageX, Windows Server 2003, the filers or all the above?

RE: Qual_devices + new disk error
by Chan, Paul 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

You can download the current qual_devices file at: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/download/tools/diskfw/ see the link at the very top of this page. Hope this helps. Paul -----Original Message----- From: Julian Grunnell [mailto:julian.grunnell@pipex.net] Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 2:53 AM To: 'John Stoffel' Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: Qual_devices + new disk error Hi - thanks John. They don't want to work. Not 100% sure where they came from to be honest. But the NetApps does recognise them ... just only 17gb of them and not the 36gb. As each install takes forever, 8 floppy disks? Are they having a laugh? Anyway doing a fresh install with my 2 x 36gb 15K drives and 3 x 36gb 10k drives installed. It chooses to use the 2 15k drives as vol0 - I had no choice in this matter it just did it, maybe because it sees these as the "smallest" drives? So ended up again with the system reporting vol0 as being made up of 2 x 17gb drives. So did another install, this time with 5 x 10k 36gb drives, all went well. All disks shown as expected. I then edited the qual_devices file and added an entry for my 15k drives based on the format shown and did a reboot. Rebooted okay, no errors at all. So pulled one of the data drives and replaced it with a 15k drive. It then reports an error with qual_devices file: Tue Sep 27 09:10:02 GMT [disk.dynamicqual.failure.invalidFile:error]: Device qualification information file (/etc/qual_devices) is invalid. Please refer to the qual_devices man page for corrective action. This problem must be corrected within 72 hour(s) to avoid a forced system shutdown. The following disk(s) remain unqualified: 1.3 etc... So the NetApps must do some sort of sanity check on this file when disks are added. Again the disk is reported as 17gb only. Plug the 10k 36gb drive back in and all is well again. Anyway, took a while but worth a go I suppose and answered a few questions. Doing a search on NOW for "ST336753FC" gives only one reply in the NOW Forums to do with a FAS920, which wasn't much help but thought I'd include it in my reply anyway.

Well, if you're just playing, you could certainly try to just add a new entry to the qual_devices line and see what happens. But you'll be on your own. Julian> And if these disks are supported is it possible to mix 10k & 15k Julian> drives? I really just want the full capacity of the drives. There's no real reason they won't work together, it's just that Netapp won't support you if something goes wrong. *grin* >From the look of the file, all you'd need to add is a line like this: D SEAGATE ST336753FC 0002 512 and see what happens. you might need a reboot to make it take effect after you do the edit. The key is probably the '512' part, since you don't want to mess around with the Zone Checksums (or is it block? I can't remember...) since you disk most likely is setup for 512 byte blocks, not the 520 byte blocks. Good luck, John
