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. (leaving the existing aggr unencrypted) --Jordan For the eighth consecutive year, Independent Health was named one of the best companies to work for in New York State.

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

NFS access to NTFS in 8.3?
by Rue, Randy 22 Sep '15

22 Sep '15

Guys, We've just migrated our 7=mode "home drives" vFiler using 7MTT to a new 8.3 cluster and so far the process has been less than blissful. One immediate hurdle is each division in our organization has mostly CIFS/Windows users and some NFS/Linux users, with some overlap between them (users that need NFS access to NTFS data and vice versa). This means each division has an NTFS volume, with a UNIX qtree within it. And both areas are served via both CIFS and NFS. CIFS access to both file systems seems to be fine. NFS access to the UNIX qtrees is fine. Where we're flailing is getting NFS access to the NTFS volumes. The exports mount just fine (LDAP is set up for the vserver, and client machines are in a nisNetgroup object in our AD). But NFS users connecting to their NTFS home folders get "permission denied," they can't even cd into them. Done some digging with and without NA support with little luck so far. User mapping is correctly configured so that unix user names are mapping to AD names. But the filer isn't getting as far as mapping an incoming NFS connections UID to a user name. NA support seems to think we need to configure an LDAP client for this. But my recollection of setting up our 7-mode system (five years ago) was that none of this was necessary, I think that joining the vfiler's CIFS server to our AD was enough for this to work (it is for Isilon, anyway). Now I'm on the phone with support (literally) while we flail through a bunch of old KB's saying we need to modify our AD schema (vanilla 2K8 RFC-2307) or install MS SFU on our DC's (never needed to before) or create a custom schema for the vserver to accept our obviously exotic RFC-2307. And they're not exactly clear on how we do that. To add to the fun, we're finding that many/most changes to the existing LDAP client settings breaks our so-far-working-OK Export Policies/Rules controlling access to the NFS exports. So. Has anyone set up a vserver with NFS connections to an NTFS volume? How do you map connections? Hope to hear from you very soon... Randy in Seattle

ServiceNow Discovery of ONTAP Devices
by Philbert Rupkins 18 Sep '15

18 Sep '15

Toasters, Has anybody used ServiceNow to discover NetApp arrays running Data ONTAP 8.1 7-Mode? My understanding is the Data ONTAP SMI-S Provider is required. We setup the Linux based Data ONTAP SMI-S Provider v5.1.2, added the array as a managed host and added an SMI-S agent credential for ServiceNow. ServiceNow successfully authenticates to the SMI-S agent and completes the entire CIM probe but spits out a warning on one of the CIM queries. Some information is correctly classified and displayed in ServiceNow but, overall, the array information provided by the CIM probe seems to be lacking. Manually executing "smis class root/ontap niall" on the SMI-S agent machine seems to return just about every attribute of the managed NetApp array. This tells me that the SMI-S agent to array communication is running just fine. My guess is the problem is with the CIM query ServiceNow is running against the SMI-S agent. Unfortunately, my visibility into ServiceNow is restricted so I can't confirm. Anybody using ServiceNow to discover arrays running Data ONTAP? Are you seeing what you believe to be complete information? Did you have to do a lot of tweaking to the default CIM probe? -Phil

CIFS home directory permissions
by Eino Tuominen 18 Sep '15

18 Sep '15

Hello, I'm trying to debug a weird phenomenon here. We see user home directories permissions change "automagically" so that there is full access granted to the user himself and the same access also to ther SYSTEM account. I'm pretty sure this has started after we migrated our home directories from 7-mode to Clustered OnTAP (8.2.3P3 at the moment). Does anybody have a clue what's going on? -- Eino Tuominen

Cifs administrative access push to the entire qtree
by Jeff Cleverley 18 Sep '15

18 Sep '15

Greetings, I inherited a group of filer that are heavily cifs. There are multiple clusters of different hardware and different OS levels. All are 7-mode. What the managers found is that people have changed directory permissions and excluded administrators or people with full control. When a problem pops up they have to find one of the directory owners to get added in order to fix an issue. We don't really want to push the permissions to all sub-directories in an overwrite mode because we could break tool access, or grant access people may not have had before, etc. Is there a way to add administrators to a tree from the NetApp or a way to do this that doesn't remove previous access control? The managers already have full control at the share level. Thanks, Jeff -- Jeff Cleverley IT Engineer 4380 Ziegler Road Building 1, Dock 1 Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 970-288-4611

DFM and SnapVault
by Eric Peng 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

I am hard pressed to find good documentation on this.. Has anyone had success in setting up SnapVault relationships in DFM so they can be more easily managed and alerted on? Found some forum postings that seemed to suggest that SnapVault relationships could be created in OnCommand System Manager or CLI and then "imported" into DFM, but so far have not had any luck in getting DFM to detect these so called "external relationships".. =( Am using the IBM version of DFM (version 5.1) by the way. Any helpful links or suggestions on this would be appreciated.
