Showmount (cdot 8.3.1) shows multiple "/" because of root mir
by Fred Grieco 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

Toasters, It's great to see showmount back in ontap 8.3. I'm having an issue with it though. It shows multiple root entries ("/") presumably because of the ls mirrors for the vs root. Is there a way to disable this display? Is this a bug? Mounting works fine. But we have a lot of systems that use automount, and a lot of processes that parse the showmount output, so I'm told. Thanks, Fred

where does CDOT keep the .7z files for the configuration backups?
by Rue, Randy 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hello All, I see how/where I would set up the uploading of the backup files to an outside destination but only via FTP or to a writeable (put-ready) http destination. Where do those files actually sit on the cluster? Anywhere that I can reach via NFS or CIFS or any other way, like through the SPI web interface? Hope to hear from you, Randy

Diag password reset
by Basil 10 Feb '16

I am newly responsible for a system whose last admin didn't properly document the diag password. I have access to the admin user, but is there a way of resetting the diag user password? If needed, I can schedule an outage for a reboot. Thanks!

Hide snapshots from NFS clients in 8.3.1
by Jeremy Webber 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

In 7-mode we are able to make snapshots accessible, but invisible to NFSv3 clients. In this mode there is a .snapshot directory, but if you ‘ls’ that directory it appears empty. However, if you ls .snapshot/hourly.0 say then you can see that the snapshot is in fact there. We now have an 8.3.1 CDOT filer and have not been able to work out how to reproduce the behaviour. The snapshots are either accessible and visible (which causes problems for programs which walk the tree) or not accessible at all. NetApp support have not been able to help so far. Can anybody on this list? Thanks, Jeremy p.s. the relevant 7-mode option is: nfs.hide_snapshot on -- Jeremy Webber Senior Systems Engineer Animal Logic Pty Ltd Tel: +61 2 8310 3577 Main: +61 2 9383 4800 Fax: +61 2 9383 4801

Add vfiler0 to a Domain
by Philbert Rupkins 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Toasters, I have a 7-mode system that hosts a number of non-default-vfilers. Several non-default-vfilers have been added to an Active Directory domain. vfiler0, however, is not a member of the domain on either controller. I have a new Fiber Channel client that is going to utilize this 7-mode system. This client plans to use a SnapManager product that would benefit from vfiler0 being added to the domain. Will adding vfiler0 to the domain (cifs setup) affect the configuration of any of the existing vfilers? Thanks, -Phil

Instructions to upgrade a 3170 pair to 8.0.5 ? It’s out of warranty, so I can’t use upgrade advisor, but need to remember the correct way to do it :) Thanks in advance, Mark

managing local accounts / passwords
by Eric Peng 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

We have use cases (e.g., backups) that require the use of local accounts on our NetApps, and to generate NDMP-specific passwords. We are using DFM for monitoring and alerting on our arrays. I see the dfm command line offers the ability to create, delete, modify such local user accounts, but there is no option to change the password? Am wondering how others manage these local accounts across multiple filers? We're still on 7-mode by the way.

Flexcache w/ Clustered OnTap
by Steven Kreuzer 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

I was curious if anyone knew if the following config is supported. Our 'main' filer has a volume that we make available in remote offices using flexcache. All of our filers are still running 7-Mode and we are about to do a forklift upgrade of our main filer. It is tempting to go to Clustered OnTap but its not clear if I would also have to upgrade all the filers in remote offices to Clustered OnTap at the same time as well or if I can continue to use 7-Mode and still be able to access the volume on the main filer via flexcache. Thanks
