RE: Problems with old 740 cluster...
by Timothy Naple 17 Nov '04

17 Nov '04

I agree with Stephane. We have seen this problem hundreds of times with FC7's and FC8's. The best answer would be to replace the shelves with FC9's if your disks were all X221C and X221D or upgrade to DS14's and new disks. NetApp (Eurologic) made great leaps in reliability between the FC7/FC8 (XL400) and FC9 (XL500) series. Seeing as how you have some X221A's or X221B's, you would want to replace the shelves with different FC8's or fix the problem with the shelves. The LRC and backplane are the most likely culprits. There is also a chance that your fibre channel card is faulty. I would assume that you are using X2030B's in those. You can replace the fibre channel card, LRC's and VEM's very easily and that is very non-intrusive to your system. If that doesn't work, you are looking at backplane issues which are much more difficult to remedy. You can test the shelf/components in question using a hardware fibre channel analyzer or a software fibre channel capture utility. Using a 'disktest' in maintenance mode is not very useful for detecting these sorts of problems. The likely reason why you notice this in spare disks more than disks in raid groups is that you are replacing disks over time in the bad slots. The disks you insert become spares but are still in a slot that has already failed a disk. Those bad slots might just be failing replacement spare disks over and over. Hope this helps.

RE: Exchange growth after migration.
by Derek Lai 15 Nov '04

Paul, Thanks for the detailed explanation. Just out of curiosity, I was wondering about option 3 (using VSS on Win2003) and why it would work. Is this another instance of Microsoft using some undocumented API call? Derek -----Original Message----- From: Benn, Paul [mailto:paul.benn@netapp.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 8:12 PM To: Sto RageC ; Paul Galjan Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: Exchange growth after migration. Hi Sto Rage (sorry, don't know your real name), You are correct in that SME is "Exchange aware." This option is not available in Exchange 5.5, which might explain why you do not see it on your server. If this is what I think it is, it is likely to be what Paul Galjan writes of below. If so, this is a known issue and is documented in NetApp online bug 53144 and also on page 92 of the SnapManager for Exchange version 3.1 Installation and Administration Guide. Here is a direct link to the article for those of you who want to read about it and have access to NOW. http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=53144 Basically, Exchange 2000 and Exchange Server 2003 have an option of "Do not permanently delete mailboxes and items until the store has been backed up." The option itself should be self explanatory. The issue is that in order for this feature to function, the entire database needs to be read during the backup process. This happens when you spool to tape or to a .BKF file, for example. SnapManager uses snapshot technology to perform the backup process so it does not read the entire database as part of the backup. This is simply a limitation of Exchange 2000 that is exposed when using snapshot technology to perform backups and is *not* limited to Network Appliance filers or to SnapManager for Exchange itself. This Exchange option is *disabled* by default, which could also explain why you did not run into the unexplained growth. There are three ways to get around this issue: 1) Disable the Exchange 2000 option of "Do not permanently delete mailboxes and items until the store has been backed up." 2) Run a copy-type backup in addition to the SnapManager backups using an Exchange aware backup application, such as NTBackup. This is what Paul Galjan suggested below. This can be done, say, once per week and could be spooled to a .BKF file versus a tape device. Some SnapManager customers create backup archives by creating a copy type backup anyway. Doing so would not only provide a backup archive but would also provide a work around to the above mentioned issue. 3) Move to Exchange Server 2003 on Windows Server 2003 to get the VSS technology. When running this combination of Exchange and Windows, VSS is used to create the snapshots. The issue does *not* apply to SME backups performed via VSS. I realize that this may not be an option for everyone but I am just calling it out as another way to solve the problem. I hope this sheds some light on the issue. Please let us know if further clarification is needed.

Problems with old 740 cluster...
by Kelsey Cummings 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

I consult for this company that has an old 740 cluster that is built out with FC8 shelves and primarily ST118202FC and ST318203FC disks with the ocassional X221 18GB gisks. One of the filers has 2 shelves, the other 8. The one with 8 shelves is having repeated problems with 'missing disks' - ie where a perfectly good disk just disapears from the loop. I think the missing disk problem may be localized to specific bays on specific shelves but in any event doesn't seem to follow the disk if it's moved. It also seems to affect spare disks more than active disks (I've kept as many spares hot as possible in the boxes due to the age of the disks) but this could just be an artifact of the behavior. It's a little before my time with NetApps but I seem to recal hearing that these kinds of problems were not uncommon on the FC8/FC9 shelves. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can rectify the problems besides replacing the disks and shelves? -Kelsey

Lost a disk in our out of service filer, Looking for options.
by John Kiniston 12 Nov '04

12 Nov '04

Howdy folks. Today we had a disk go broken in our old filer , It's running 5.3.4R2 with two shelves. I've run out of functional ST39173WC disks from Netapp and I'd like to continue to use my filer. Is it possible to shrink the volume on my filer by a disk and have the free'd up disk be my spare? Right now I've got a 74.65 GB vol0 with only 44.57GB in use so thats about 30GB of free space on the volume, Vol0 is also my only volume right now. Does anyone on the list have a ST39173WC they would be willing to sell to me with our without the enclosure? (I have two broken ST39173WC's so I could re-use my enclosure.) The only other thing I can think of is maybe there is a chance I've got one ST39173WC with a bad board and the other with a bad disk but swapping controllers without knowing what's bad wouldnt be my first choice. Thank's for the help.
