Balance monitoring Windows clients
by Andrew Laurence 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Hi all, The documentation states that Balance needs a Windows administrator-level account. Will _only_ an administrator-level account do? By comparison, on a 'nix machine it doesn't actually need complete sudo/root access. It only needs these commands from sudo: /sbin/lvm, /sbin/scsi_id, /sbin/dmsetup Surely a more restrictive permissions set will fill the need on Windows as well? -- Andrew Laurence Office of Information Technology atlauren(a)uci.edu University of California, Irvine

What to do with 4 x 3020s and 9 Shelves?
by CH 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Company closes and sells off their hardware…..before releasing the shelves they move around the drives in the shelves (for “security”) so now they cannot boot or more importantly get any license info to reinstall OnTap…. Anyway around this? I hate to trash all this hardware.

WideLink SymLinks on CDOT
by jamesr 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

All, Since you were all so helpful last time with regards to my TSM questions (and thanks for that!) I have run into another problem I'd like to pick your collective brains over. We have a CIFS only environment running CDOT and have a requirement to provide Directory SymLinks in a users home directory. I've managed to find fairly decent documentation on how to do this on 7-Mode systems but it seems lacking for CDOT. We use to use mklink (or some other powershell hackery) to create the symlinks but this doesn't work when talking to the new CIFS SVM. Has anyone managed this? Do you have a recipe we can follow to implement this? I've managed to create the Symlink translation entry like so: PS > Get-NcCifsSymlink CifsServer ShareName UnixPath CifsPath Locality ---------- --------- -------- -------- -------- REMOTE_SERVER REMOTE_SHARE /vol04/USERNAME/SymLink-Src/ / widelink But I think the next step is to create a 'real' unix type symlink on /vol04/USERNAME/SymLink-Src/ however I can't see how to do this. The file-create-symlink OnTAPI API call doesn't (seem?) to exist for CDOT (yet?). The only other possible option as I see it is to configure NFS and then mount the drive over NFS to create this symlink but I would prefer to avoid this as we don't have a requirement for NFS on these shares currently. Any help is greatly received as always! Cheers. -- James 'BR' Ray

snapvault memory allocation error
by Rhodes, Richard L. 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Hi Everyone, Over the weekend we had a snapvault backup fail with memory allocation errors on the snapvault destination. This error occurred twice on the same volume, then hasn't come back. Can not allocate memory. (memory limit reached) (Cannot allocate memory) I run snapmirror and snapvault on all our volumes, but do it one operation at a time - NO concurrent snapvault or snapmirror operations. I search NOW and didn't come up with anything. This occurred on this particular volume twice in a row (6 hours apart - backups run every 6hours), not on any other volumes. This volume is 410GB with 900k inodes - not even close to our biggest volumes. So this error is not related to size (capacity or num inodes), but seems specific to this volume. Filers: IBM N3220 (NetApp FAS2240-2) OnTap: 8.1.2P1 7-Mode Here are the full messages on the SV destination filer. ___ Sat 09 20 07:43:05 EDT [rshd_0:debug]: root@[172.17.170.34_60065]:IN:ssh2 shell:SSH INPUT COMMAND is snapvault snap create -w v_fnce08p_cifs v_fnce08p_cifs tgt Sat 09 20 07:43:05 EDT v_fnce08p_cifs xfer:v_fnce08p_cifs Target_start dst Sat 09 20 07:43:06 EDT isnapr0664a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs isnabk0665a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs Request (Update) dst Sat 09 20 07:43:07 EDT isnapr0664a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs isnabk0665a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs Start ___ Sat 09 20 07:50:43 EDT [isnabk0665a:replication.dst.waflErr:error]: SnapVault: destination transfer from isnapr0664a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs to /vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs : memory limit reached:Can not allocate memory. dst Sat 09 20 07:50:43 EDT isnapr0664a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs isnabk0665a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs Defer (memory limit reached) (Cannot allocate memory) dst Sat 09 20 07:51:00 EDT isnapr0664a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs isnabk0665a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs Request (Retry) dst Sat 09 20 07:51:01 EDT isnapr0664a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs isnabk0665a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs Restart (@ 929692 KB) dst Sat 09 20 07:51:04 EDT isnapr0664a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs isnabk0665a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs Abort (memory limit reached) (Cannot allocate memory) dst Sat 09 20 07:51:04 EDT isnapr0664a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs isnabk0665a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs Rollback_start slk Sat 09 20 07:51:30 EDT state.qtree_softlock.v_fnce08p_cifs.0001b0a2.252.q_fnce08p_cifs.src-qt.isnabk0665a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs.00000000.-01.1 Softlock_add (Transfer) dst Sat 09 20 07:51:37 EDT isnapr0664a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs isnabk0665a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs Rollback_end (42928 KB) slk Sat 09 20 07:51:37 EDT state.qtree_softlock.v_fnce08p_cifs.0001b0a2.252.q_fnce08p_cifs.src-qt.isnabk0665a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs.00000000.-01.1 Softlock_delete (Transfer) dst Sat 09 20 07:51:38 EDT isnapr0664a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs isnabk0665a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs Coalesce_end dst Sat 09 20 07:51:38 EDT isnapr0664a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs isnabk0665a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs Coalesce_start (isnabk0665a(1896301030)_v_fnce08p_cifs-base.2) dst Sat 09 20 07:51:38 EDT isnapr0664a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs isnabk0665a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs Coalesce_start (isnabk0665a(1896301030)_v_fnce08p_cifs-cleanup.0) dst Sat 09 20 07:51:40 EDT isnapr0664a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs isnabk0665a:/vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs Coalesce_end ___ Sat 09 20 07:51:41 EDT [rshd_0:debug]: root@[172.17.170.34_60540]:IN:ssh2 shell:SSH INPUT COMMAND is snapvault status -l /vol/v_fnce08p_cifs/q_fnce08p_cifs tgt Sat 09 20 07:51:41 EDT v_fnce08p_cifs xfer:v_fnce08p_cifs Target_create_snapshot (v_fnce08p_cifs.0) tgt Sat 09 20 07:51:41 EDT v_fnce08p_cifs xfer:v_fnce08p_cifs Target_end vol Sat 09 20 07:54:43 EDT v_fnce08p_cifs Snapshot_replace (v_fnce08p_cifs.0) Thanks!

vFiler DR in 7Mode vs Cluster Mode?!?
by Milazzo Giacomo 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Hi all, a customer of us use since years vFiler in his 7Mode HA associated with their DR functionalities that permit to restart the systems as they were in the DR site. And this is often associated with VMware SRM functionalities. Question. Assuming and inter-cluster SnapMirror between two different clusters geographically dispersed is there something of that kind using VSM? Thank you in advance Giacomo Milazzo Sinergy SpA

Single-file Snaprestore Causing Performance Impact?
by Ray Van Dolson 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Hi all; Running 8.1.2P4 in 7-Mode on an IBM N6240. We initiated a couple of single-file snaprestores which ran for 15+ hours on some busy SATA-based aggregates). During that time, we experienced intermittent issues connecting to the NFS services on this filer. Issues would clear up after a while (minutes or tens of minutes) and then return an hour or so later. We killed the snaprestores during one of the outages and observed a full recovery of the NFS service. It may have been coincidental. Anyone aware of snaprestore (specifically, single-file restores) causing cascading impacts? OnCommand doesn't show any additional spike in CPU, disk activity, etc.... Thanks, Ray

Monitoring NDMP
by Andrew Laurence 16 Sep '14

16 Sep '14

Hi all, Am I crazy, or do NDMP loads not show up in Balance and OnCommand System Manager? I see that it's in the SNMP MIB, but is that really the only way to externally monitor service loads from NDMP? Thanks, Andrew -- Andrew Laurence Office of Information Technology atlauren(a)uci.edu University of California, Irvine

First time CIFS setup
by Fletcher Cocquyt 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

We are an NFS via vfilers shop, but had our first client request for a CIFS share. I’ve setup a CIFS vfiler using the local account/password option. cifs-vf-01@irt-na06> cifs shares Name Mount Point Description HOME /vol/media1/home Default Share everyone / Full Control We can map the share, but get “the disk is write protected” when attempting a copy to the mapped drive. The error the client receives when trying to map the drive is "The account is not authorized to log in from this station” I’d like to resolve both our “write protected” and the client’s “not authorized” errors - why are these errors if the HOME share is created as “everyone / Full Control” ? Any advice/links appreciated thanks, Fletcher.

Re: rename administrator user
by Fletcher Cocquyt 12 Sep '14

The (windows) client ended up renaming their account to ‘admin’ to avoid the match and allow anonymous mapping thanks On Sep 9, 2014, at 7:30 PM, Fletcher Cocquyt <fcocquyt(a)stanford.edu> wrote: > > > > On Sep 9, 2014, at 4:04 PM, Fletcher Cocquyt <fcocquyt(a)stanford.edu> wrote: > >> To avoid a match of the account on the cifs client I’d like to rename the netapp administrator account. >> >> Docs say its possible: >> https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196891/html/GUID-BAB0B59B-4BA5-4165… >> >> I can’t seem to find the method/cmds >> >> thanks! >> >> >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Toasters mailing list >> Toasters(a)teaparty.net >> http://www.teaparty.net/mailman/listinfo/toasters >
