DS2246 PSU removal unnoticed
by Momonth 27 Feb '15

27 Feb '15

Hi All, I've been testing a few monitoring scripts for cDOT and had to pull out some physical components on heads / disk shelves, I noticed the following: when a PSU removed from a DS2246 disk shelf, this fact is not visible for CLI tools like "alert" or "system health". Also Zephyr API calls of 'ses' category don't seem to have visibility on that. So currently there is one disk shelf running on a single PSU and cDOT is quite happy about it. The disk shelf has an amber light on and there was the following event log entry once the PSU was removed: 12/19/2014 11:05:15 na101node-1a WARNING ses.status.psWarning: DS2246 (S/N SHFHU1427000371) shelf 24 on channel 0b power warning for Power supply 1: not installed. This module is on the rear of the shelf at the bottom left. It's running cDOT 8.2.2 Did anyone have similar experience? Is it expected behavior. Cheers, Vladimir

Adding disks to existing aggregates
by Woods, Bill 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Hello toasters, A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to destroy an aggregate in order to consolidate capacity. I started off with two aggregates, each with two RG and both aggr were 600GB drives only the older drives were FC/15K whereas the new aggregate is SAS/10K (I know you can mix RPMs and I'm ok with that). What I'm not ok with is what happened when I attempted to add 8 drives to the new aggregate. The current RG size was 12 and there were 12 drives in the first RG and 11 in the second, I then changed the RG size to 16 and added the drives to the aggregate (expecting to add 4 in each RG). But what really happened is that OnTap added 5 drives to RG1 and created RG2 with the remaining 3 drives. Support couldn't find any documentation on this and (I knew this) that it could only be corrected by destroying the aggregate. Have any of you experienced this?

Adding disks to existing aggregates

Unfortunately this is an older system running older 7 code. Next time I have the opportunity to perform this task, I'll check with the GUI first.

Multiple vCenter VSC installations facing the same storage targets?
by RM 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

Supported configuration? We're carving off a dev VMware environment that will continue to leverage the production NetApps. This new dev cluster will have its own vCenter plus VSC. Can multiple VSCs point to the same storage targets? RM

FAS3270 SP max password length
by Momonth 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

Hello, I had to change root's password on FAS3270 and noticed that OnTAP 8.1.1 is OK with 23 characters long password (including spaces), but SP cuts it to 17 characters. I couldn't find any relevant document explaining this behavior. Is it expected? Maybe a bug? SP filer*> version Booted primary firmware version 1.3.1 Primary firmware version 1.3.1 Backup firmware version 1.2.3 Cheers, Vladimir

Checking partition alignment of a powered-on VM
by RM 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

Can mbrscan check a powered-on VM? I know it needs to be off to remediate; at this time I only need to *identify* the misaligned VMs. I can't see guest VM alignment from the VSC GUI because old version. :-/

FAS2240-4 'cluster' with 4 SSDs
by Edward Rolison 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

Can I sanity check something? I've got a cluster in a box - in the form of a 2240-4. Single shelf, but it's got 4 SSDs installed. Which works as two per head. Looking at it, I can't actually configure a hybrid aggregate, because I have to match RAID types (RAID-DP on two drives doesn't work). That's on my current code rev of 8.1.3 Upgrading to 8.2 might be a solution, because then I could RAID4 my SSDs. But I'm wondering - what happens, given a system with no spares, one of the SSDs dies? (Or indeed, whether running with no spares is actually a good idea in the first place - I do have spares for my SAS drives, but not SSDs). With that in mind - am I onto a bit of a loser here? And I should just be looking to replace my SSDs with some drives to match what I've got already? Or perhaps have one head with flashpool, 3 drives + spare and one without?

8.2.x on a 2240 or 3240?
by Philbert Rupkins 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hello Toasters, Just curious if anybody is running an ONTAP 8.2.x 7-mode release on a 2240, 3240 or comparable unit? If so, was there a noticeable increase in cpu utilization and/or client response time following the upgrade to 8.2.x? We are currently evaluating an 8.2.3 7-mode upgrade from 8.1.3. On 8.1.3, we do see periods in which average processor utilization is in the 80-90% range. We're told we may want to avoid upgrading those units to an 8.2 release as 8.2 requires an additional 10-20% cpu out of the gate. Thanks, Phil

IOPs from a controller
by Edward Rolison 14 Feb '15

14 Feb '15

Does anyone have a very rough rule of thumb as to IOPs you might expect out of a controller? I've got a FAS6280 that's starting to 'be a bit sluggish'. I'm inclined to shrug and say 'yes, it's doing 20K IOPs'. I know there's very much an 'it depends' in there - but 'very rough' is good enough for me here. (Disk wise - it's not particularly high on disk utilisation, nor is the network bandwidth particularly full).
