Virtualized Exchange 2010 on cDOT
by Milazzo Giacomo 05 Aug '15

05 Aug '15

Hi all, we're going to migrate a running environment in 7Mode to cDOT and, nevertheless I've studied all docs about best practice and DR scenarios I've a lot of doubts about best architecture. Now we have. Production site. 2 E2K10 virtualized Server with a two copies of db in DAG environment These 2 servers have their data on different controllers of an HA system and db are balanced on two controllers/server some as active and some as passive (but you can imagine also one server running active copies and the second the passive ones) Servers are this way built: C:\ system disk with Windows and Exchange binaries on a NFS vmdk with vmx in the same path Database disks on VMware iSCSI raw devices (this because Microsoft does not support NFS vmdk for its data...no comment!..we know...) For obvious reason there's also another little iSCSI datastore containing the "pointer" to those raw device, the mapper (rdm). This is the way it works Raw devices are managed by SnapDrive for there's also SME running for backup/mirror. DR site At recover site there's an identical enviroment with all the volumes replicated using SnapMirror modulated by SME VMware SRM together with SRA mount, in case of disaster, the right vmdk, LUNs and so on using its own script so the E2K10 servers at DR can start with all DAG One of the constrain of SRM/SRA in 7Mode is that ALL the volumes with NFS vmdk, iSCSI raw devices and iSCSI ds with rdm MUST belong to the same controller; so that is not possible to spread volumes on different controller/aggregates maybe to increase resiliency...Otherwise SRA will fail. What's about cDOT? Can I create two different SVM, one just for NFS vmdk for binaries and the second one for iSCSI contents? Or have/may have I to put all togheter? Have I to create, as stated in DR scenarios TR from NetApp, two SRM to manage the two Exchange servers or, maybe, to relocate data on different aggregates? Have these two aggregates to be resident on the same node or they can belong to the same node? What's about SRM/SRA constrain? Thanks a lot for any suggestion/idea. Regards,.

CIFS on Mac
by Ryan Pugatch 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi all, Performance when accessing netapp CIFS shares from a Mac is frustrating, and in some cases downright unusable. It seems mostly related to OS X's desire to index everything with Spotlight. Directory listings are slow, and if you're any way distant from the netapp, you'll find latency makes it completely unusable. Have any of you found how to deal with this? Thanks, Ryan

stuck on a configuation puzzle: NFSv3 in 8.3, netgroups and export rules
by Rue, Randy 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hello All, Sent the below to our NetApp contacts but often you beautiful people have the answers I need, better and before the vendor does. Need to limit an NFS export on an 8.3 SVM to either a NIS netgroup or an AD/LDAP nisNetgroup, preferably the LDAP. See the below. Since I wrote the below, I've also determined that the working vserver appears to have a working copy of the netgroups in cache and the broken one does not: gold::*> vserver export-policy netgroup cache show -vserver foo There are no entries matching your query. gold::*> vserver export-policy netgroup cache show -vserver pyrite-gold Vserver Netgroup State -------- ---------- ------------ pyrite-gold netgroup-cluster-rcs.fhcrc.org ready The documentation says that "One of the methods you can use to match clients in export policy rules is by using hosts listed in netgroups. You can load netgroups from a uniform resource identifier (URI) into Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs) as an alternative to using netgroups stored in external name servers (vserver services name-service netgroup load)." I'm specifically hung up on "as an alternative to using netgroups stored in external name servers." What is the method I'm missing that manually loading the netgroups via a URL (yuck) is an alternative to? Hope to hear from you, Randy in Seattle (sent to NetApp) ----------------------------------------------------------- Guys, We're attempting to set up NFS access for an SVM to a NIS netgroup or its LDAP equivalent and while I was able to do this once on a test SVM we're now unable to recreate it. On our old gear, we had some issues trying to make NIS work and eventually scripted a flat file dump of our netgroup file to the vFilers, then used the local file for hostgroup based access to NFS exports. That group name is @CLUSTER in /etc/exports That same script also takes the members of our netgroup file and exports them to an LDAP object in our AD, a nisNetgroup object called netgroup-cluster-rcs.xxx.org. That group is currently added to the export policy as @netgroup-cluster-rcs.xxx.org Listing the AD object as above works for an SVM called pyrite-gold, a test vserver. My recollection is I set that one up pretty easily after realizing NIS wasn't working. I don't recall doing anything at the CLI. I can mount an export quickly and correctly from a linux host that is a member of the group. Now we're trying to set up the same config on other SVMs ("foo") and document the steps for production and can't make it work. We've compared the config on the new SVM and pyrite-gold every which way with no luck. Gone over the GUI config a handful of times. I've also looked deeper from the CLI and found a few differences but changing them didn't solve the problem. When we try to mount the export, the attempt retries a handful of times and eventually times out: [root@RANDINO mnt]# mount foo:foo_nfs foo/ mount: mount to NFS server 'foo' failed: timed out (retrying). mount: mount to NFS server 'foo' failed: timed out (retrying). mount: mount to NFS server 'foo' failed: timed out (retrying). mount: mount to NFS server 'foo' failed: timed out (retrying). mount: mount to NFS server 'foo' failed: timed out (giving up). [root@RANDINO mnt]# >From the CLI, I did find that ns-switch for "foo" was set only for "files." Fixed that using vserver services modify with no improvement. Now all matches: gold::*> vserver services name-service ns-switch show Source Vserver Database Order --------------- ------------ --------- foo hosts files, dns foo group files foo passwd files foo netgroup ldap, nis, files foo namemap files pyrite-gold hosts files, dns pyrite-gold group files pyrite-gold passwd files pyrite-gold netgroup ldap, nis, files pyrite-gold namemap files I also took a look at LDAP client settings: gold::*> vserver services ldap client show -instance Vserver: foo Client Configuration Name: foo LDAP Server List: xxx Active Directory Domain: fhcrc.org Preferred Active Directory Servers: xxx Bind Using the Vserver's CIFS Credentials: true Schema Template: RFC-2307 LDAP Server Port: 389 Query Timeout (sec): 3 Minimum Bind Authentication Level: anonymous Bind DN (User): sops-ldap Base DN: dc-xxx,dc=org Base Search Scope: subtree User DN: - User Search Scope: subtree Group DN: - Group Search Scope: subtree Netgroup DN: - Netgroup Search Scope: subtree Vserver Owns Configuration: true Use start-tls Over LDAP Connections: false Allow SSL for the TLS Handshake Protocol: false Enable Netgroup-By-Host Lookup: false Netgroup-By-Host DN: - Netgroup-By-Host Scope: subtree Vserver: pyrite-gold Client Configuration Name: pyrite-gold LDAP Server List: xxx Active Directory Domain: fhcrc.org Preferred Active Directory Servers: xxx Bind Using the Vserver's CIFS Credentials: true Schema Template: RFC-2307 LDAP Server Port: 389 Query Timeout (sec): 3 Minimum Bind Authentication Level: anonymous Bind DN (User): tinsel-ldap Base DN: dc=xxx,dc=org Base Search Scope: subtree User DN: - User Search Scope: subtree Group DN: - Group Search Scope: subtree Netgroup DN: - Netgroup Search Scope: subtree Vserver Owns Configuration: true Use start-tls Over LDAP Connections: false Allow SSL for the TLS Handshake Protocol: false Enable Netgroup-By-Host Lookup: false Netgroup-By-Host DN: - Netgroup-By-Host Scope: subtree 2 entries were displayed. gold::*> Note that "Bind Using the Vserver's CIFS Credentials" was set to false for foo, but again, changing that from the CLI didn't make any difference. I know I never touched that setting on pyrite-gold, is it set that way because (maybe) I ran or re-ran CIFS setup after setting up NIS? We need help on this pretty quickly: either a way to make NIS work for netgroup control of an NFS export policy, or a way to make it work based on the AD nisNetgroup. Given a choice we'd prefer the LDAP way. Is there a NetApp doc I've overlooked? Randy

OCUM 6.3RC1 CLI?
by Scott Eno 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Hi, Anyone know how exactly to utilize the “cli” commands in OCUM 6.3RC1? It’s listed as a new feature, but nothing much in the docs on how to run these commands. Is this only for the Linux or Windows install and not available on the VMware appliance? Thanks. — Scott Eno s.eno(a)me.com

fsecurity job monitoring.
by Jeff Cleverley 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Greetings, We have a filer running 7.3.7P1 and we had to run fsecurity to correct permissions/ownership of a tree. Is there any way to see anything to check the progress, see what path it is updating, etc? We have no idea how long this job will take and it would be nice if there was something showing what it was doing. Thanks, Jeff -- Jeff Cleverley IT Engineer 4380 Ziegler Road Fort Collins, Colorado 80525 970-288-4611

NDO & CIFS
by Milazzo Giacomo 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hi all, with cDOT is there a way to avoid that CIFS sessions fall during a takeover? In 7 Mode when an NDU operation is performed CIFS must is interrupted and open CIFS sessions fall if not closed before. Is there a way using failover groups of the data LIF to avoid this? Regards,
