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?

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).

Unstable cluster (or actually interconnects)
by Karsten Meinster 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Hi all, We got some major issue's with our interconnects (or maybe ISL's at this moment I have no idea), some background first: We have a 3160 MC running Ontap 8.0.2 running stable for the last 3 years, however we are in the middle of upgrading to ontap 8.2 and for that we need to upgrade the FOS's to a higher version (we came from 6.3 and we want/need to go to 7). After we upgraded the first fabric to 7.0.0b everything seemed to work fine, however later on the day we saw a lot of errors on the netapps and on the switches, by then we changed some settings that helped us in the past for these errors (port based routing instead of exchange based which would actually be the best practice following the guides) and we started upgrading the second fabric to the intermediate FOS (6.4.2) and then immediately saw the errors coming up again at which time we stopped upgrading to 7.0.0. So long story short, we now have 2 fabrics, 1 running at 7.0.0b and one at 6.4.2b, which obviously is not recommended but we can't do much at the moment since things are extremely unstable connection wise. The switches themselves are set up by the best practice PDF that was available at that time, but even with the settings that changed in the meantime (basically only the portcfgfillword and I think the IOD and DLS options) we don't see any improvements, below some snippets of the log files, the data in the snippets are continuously popping up in our logfiles. The fabrics have a single ISL (so yeah data and CI data goes through the same ISL) and we have the old DS14 ESH4 shelfs. The weird thing is this really only happened after the FOS upgrade, we monitor all our devices quiet heavily and we haven't seen these kind of errors in the past, both the netapp errors as well as the switch errors(brocade by the way, well yeah FOS :)). At this time we're kind of clueless, Netapp support doesn't tell us much either we didn't get much further than asking for lots of log files and reseating SFP's which don't seem to work and we are still waiting (and calling) for the log analysis's. Sorry in advance for the weird buildup of this mail but we're making some long days at the moment ;-) If any more info might be helpfull I can send it ;-) (but don't want to flood the list right now). Thanks!
