fcp zone show "too large"
by Edward Rolison 06 Oct '15

06 Oct '15

I've been troubleshooting a FCOE problem - just tried to inspect the zon set with "fcp zone show" and got back an error that the zoneset is "too large". I don't think it is - this is a pretty small config, perhaps 50 hosts tops. So I think it must be something else. (Or maybe it isn't - I don't have direct access to the switch, so I can't say for sure). Has anyone run into this? (Or can offer alternatives for returning subsets of the zoneset from the filer end?)

FAS8020 HA pair in 1 chassis -- cluster interconnect ?
by Paul Letta 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hello, I've currently got a FAS3240 HA pair (with each controller in its own chassis). I am swapping the heads with a FAS8020 HA pair. This is 7-mode 8.2.x. With the current 3240's..there are a cluster interconnects that runs between c0a and c0b on both controllers. The new 8020 is a HA pair in one chassis. Are cluster interconnects required ? The Installation and Setup Instructions guide shows it differently for cDOT and 7-mode.. For cDOT is says to connect e0a to e0a and e0b to e0b for the cluster interconnect. This is listed as a "switchless cluster" for cDOT. (no mention of 7-mode here) For 7-mode and cDot for a "switched HA configuration", it has e0a and e0b for both heads going the upstream switches. The guide I'm talking about is at: library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMP1199906 Install Hardware (blue 2) step 2.2 I am not planning on using e0a or e0b for networking at all. The purchase did not come with any cables that will work between these ports. Thanks. Paul

Help with FTP
by Rhodes, Richard L. 04 Oct '15

04 Oct '15

Hi, Data ONTAP Release 8.1.2P1 7-Mode We received a request to provide FTP access to a filer. Here is what they want: - they have 4 CIFS shares, each is in a separate vol/qtree (prod, test, qa, whatever) - from a AIX system, they want to FTP to the filer, access the each of the vol/qtree shares, and download files - they want to do this via Active Directory ID's and security - I believe they want to do this via 4 separate ID's - one per share, but I think using just one may be ok I've been reading about FTP on OnTap. I think I see how to enable FTP with AD ID's (NTLM style). I can then have ID's all access a single dir, or have each ID access it's own home dir. I don't see any way to specify a particular vol/qtree per AD ID. For Unix style access I could create separate ID's in the /etc/passwd file with specific vol/qtree home dirs, which I would make their CIFS vol/qtrees. But if I do this, I can't fine how the UNIX id's would access the CIFS file - it's two different security models. I'd like them to just mouth the CIFS shares to AIX, but they can't get it to work. I could use some advice!

BMC access is denied.
by Brad Thompson 30 Sep '15

30 Sep '15

Hi all, Has anyone ever seen a BMC deny access when using the root user password? I'm trying to reconfigure this system and get the BMC working, but whenever I SSH to the BMC it won't let me login using the root user password. I get a permission denied message as if the password were wrong. Things I have tried: BMC setup (several times with different IP addresses) BMC reboot (several times) Changed the root user password several times using passwd. Takeover/Giveback Verified that the password is less than 16 characters. Tried "root", "naroot", and "Administrator" to log into the BMC, all failed the same way. Ran through secureadmin setup again. Tried to SSH to the BMC from different hosts, both Windows and Linux. I can SSH to the controller itself just fine using the root user / password. Anyone have any other ideas or see something that I'm missing? The only thing I haven't done yet is power cycle the controller, and that's just because I'm not anywhere near it. Thanks, Brad

Cifs share access log
by Jeff Cleverley 30 Sep '15

30 Sep '15

Greetings, Is there a way to have the system log what users connect via cifs AND also show what share they connect to? This is a 7.3.2 system. I've been trying various cifs options. I can see where it log who I am, and where I'm coming from, but not what I'm trying to access, or what share I mounted. Some mystery deletes have been occurring so we are trying to track down who may be accessing that particular share. Ideally I want to know when they connect and disconnect at a minimum so we have an idea when they were there. For now I just have a script checking cifs sessions and logging connections to the share to a file. I'd rather see it in messages or audit instead. Thanks, Jeff -- Jeff Cleverley IT Engineer 4380 Ziegler Road Building 1, Dock 1 Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 970-288-4611

Vol Move Throttling in cDOT
by Alexander Griesser 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hey there, I did some research already but wasn't able to find what I was looking for, so I'm trying a quick shot here: Does anyone know if it's actually possible to throttle a vol move on cDOT? vol move start does not really list an option for that and once the move is running, there's also no vol move modify or anything like that. *> vol move start ? (volume move start) -vserver <vserver name> Vserver Name [-volume] <volume name> Volume Name [-destination-aggregate] <aggregate name> Destination Aggregate [[-cutover-window] {30..300}] Cutover time window in seconds (default: 45) [ -cutover-attempts {1..25} ] Number of Cutover attempts (default: 3) [ -cutover-action {abort_on_failure|defer_on_failure|force|wait} ] Action for Cutover (default: defer_on_failure) [ -perform-validation-only [true] ] Performs validation checks only (default: false) [ -foreground {true|false} ] Foreground Process [ -bypass-throttling {true|false} ] *Bypass Replication Engine Throttling [ -skip-delta-calculation {true|false} ] *Skip the Delta Calculation I'm currently migrating quite some big volumes from SAS to SATA across heads and the SATA aggregate is of course experiencing some lag now, so I'd love to throttle that a bit if possible. Any idea? Would a QoS policy on the souce volume help here or does NetApp internal stuff (like a vol move) override QoS quotas?

File delete rate
by Edward Rolison 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

Apologies if this seems a bit vague - I'm in need of a quick sanity check. Doing a qtree delete - it's taking 'a while'. This seems to be because it's deleting every file at a rate of 50-100 files per second, and there's about a million files in the qtree. Is that a 'reasonable' rate of deletion? (This is using an API based 'file-delete-file' operation, if that's relevant).

Clustered Ontap - Disk Encryption
by Jordan Slingerland 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

Quick and easy question I hope. Is there any reason I would not be able to add a shelf or two of encrypted disks to an existing 8040 with active aggregates and create an encrypted aggregate out the new disks only.

blatant advertising by competing vendor to netapp contact address?
by Jan-Pieter Cornet 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

Anybody else receive a blatant advertising from a competing storage vendor (that doesn't really convert matter to energy), bashing the netapp 7mode to CDOT upgrade, sent to a contact address that is only known by ourselves and netapp? I was baffled by the audacity of it. (Apart from the car analogy in that ad - bad timing). -- Jan-Pieter Cornet <johnpc(a)xs4all.nl> "Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice." - Grey's Law

Can't rename a vserver in 8.3 and aliasing vserver names?
by Rue, Randy 22 Sep '15

22 Sep '15

It's me again, Another bump we're still on is that due to 8.3's inability to rename a CIFS server and that we just 7MTT'd a home filer with ~3000 CIFS shares on it we instead aliased the new vserver to the old name "home" on our network. We removed the old vFiler from DNS and our AD, and removed all WINS entries. We added SPN's for the name "home" to the AD object for the new vserver. We already had a DNS alias for "homes" for the old vfiler to address some Mac compatibility issues. We added that CNAME in DNS as well, and an SPN for "homes" to the vserver's AD object. And we did take advantage of the 8.3 CLI tool for adding NetBIOS aliases, looks like a hack NA provided until they fix the run "cifs setup" tool without deleting the CIFS server. But we're still having a host of flakey access issues with Mac users who either can't connect to their home drives at all or get weirdness if they open Office documents and the like there. We're also having issues with Windows RDSH connections and User Profile mappings. Anybody else had fallout from the inability to rename a server? Any luck aliasing? Or should we just suck it up, recreate the CIFS server and recreate the shares? Hope to hear from you, Randy
