RE: Redundant FCALs with ONTAP 6.1
by Traitel, Eyal 24 Apr '01

24 Apr '01

Chris, If I'm not incorrect, the redundant FCAL loop is not used for data transfer unless there is a problem with first loop. In this regard, even if 2nd FCAL card is not in an ideal slot, it would not matter that much. Nevertheless, it is better to avoid it altogether if possible...

But presuambly not now that Sam Rafter set us straight on the subject in his toasters posting of 12 Jan 2001... or could the scenario of burt 19290 ever apply in the context of "redundant FCALs"?

filer-mrtg on Solaris (Intel)
by Malek Hamdan 24 Apr '01

24 Apr '01

Hi all, Has anyone been successful in getting filer-mrtg working on Solaris (x86) ?? The rateup binary is for Sparc Solaris and using the latest rateup binary (mrtg 2.9.12) does not seem to work. I keep getting this error: PROBLEM: rateup died from Signal 8 with Exit Value 0 when doing router 'filer1.net.snmp' If this happens all the time, you should probably investigate the cause. :-) Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?? Kind Regards, MH

logging snapshot events
by Todd C. Merrill 24 Apr '01

Is there a way to log snapshot events? I.e.: Sun Apr 22 02:29:13 EDT [consumer]: Disk scrubbing finished... Sun Apr 22 08:30:46 EDT [snapevent]: Snapshot test created on vol vol0 by user luser from machinename Sun Apr 22 08:31:46 EDT [snapevent]: Snapshot test renamed to test2 on vol vol0 by user luser from machinename Sun Apr 22 08:32:46 EDT [snapevent]: Snapshot test2 deleted on vol vol0 by user luser from machinename Sun Apr 22 08:33:46 EDT [snapevent]: Snapshot test3 created on vol vol0 by user luser from console [...] Mon Apr 23 00:00:02 EDT [snapevent]: Snapshot nightly.0 rolled on vol vol0 by user root from scheduler [...] Etc? Sometimes, as today, I find snapshots that should be there aren't, and it takes a while to find out how they disappeared. Sometimes, I never do find out how they gave up their mortal bits. Until next time... The Mathworks, Inc. 508-647-7000 x7792 3 Apple Hill Drive, Natick, MA 01760-2098 508-647-7001 FAX tmerrill(a)mathworks.com http://www.mathworks.com ---

RE: Vif and Cluster setup questions
by Art Hebert 24 Apr '01

24 Apr '01

Status so far. I decided to bypass the E0 network port and put another nic out of a pc I had in slot 5. I then tested in single mode and multi mode and everything worked great. I'll try out cluster failover tommorrow. Since I have each nic going to a different network card on my cisco 6509, I decided to hit the netapp from machines on each of the network cards on the cisco and instantly saw traffic on both interfaces. It only maxed at a 100mb thoughput and was distributed between the interfaces on the Netapp. I was hoping to be able to get double the performance. Is this a limitation of the bus or the virtual Interface? thanks art -----Original Message----- From: FPS France [mailto:fpsfrance@fps.fr] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 3:51 AM To: Art Hebert; Sam Cramer Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Vif and Cluster setup questions Hi, I think what Sam Cramer said about switch might be considered : > A multi-mode vif will, when attached to a switch or set of interfaces on > another host capable of trunking, balance network load across its > constituent links. Most switches distribute the load across the links by > hashing an incoming packet's source and destination address.

Try to get an expert from the Cisco support to help you in knowing how to configure your Cisco 6509 switch, and the way you could make some tries to see if it works. Also , I wonder if you do not bad in using identical names for your devices (vif01 in both Filer). Also (again), try to use ifconfig only to set up the IP adress. Instead of : > ifconfig e6 mediatype 100tx-fd > ifconfig e0 mediatype 100tx-fd > vif create multi vif01 e6 e0 > ifconfig vif01 `hostname`-e6 mediatype 100tx-fd partner vif01 you could try : > ifconfig e6 mediatype 100tx-fd > ifconfig e0 mediatype 100tx-fd > vif create multi vif01 e6 e0 > ifconfig vif01 `hostname`-e6 partner vif02 At the end (not also), I noted in you sysconfig -v output that one of two interface was down. So to be sure you right use single or multi here is : - failover purpose : ifconfig e1... ifconfig e2... vif create single vifa e1 e2 vif favor e1 ifconfig vifa... - loadbalancing purpose : ifconfig e1... ifconfig e2... vif create multi vifa e1 e2 # no favor expected ifconfig vifa... Thank you to let us know how it works.

RE: OT - swag
by Knight, Graham 24 Apr '01

Back in my days as a customer I attended a CIFS conference at Netapp headquarters. After the conference I was offered a beautiful black leather jacket for participating. ARRRGH!! It was something my company would not allow me to accept (government contracts and the like). Now that I work at Netapp I get the occasional shirt, some of them I'd even wear in public. But I often wonder what happened to that jacket I had to turn down.... Maybe it's the one that Jeff is wearing. :-) Graham -----Original Message----- From: Palmer, Jason (London) [mailto:jason.palmer@wcom.co.uk] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 2:33 PM To: Toaster Mail Exploder Subject: RE: OT - swag I got the T-Shirt, but it is falling to bits after a year of frequent use...

RE: data migration
by Sims, Aaron 23 Apr '01

ndmpcopy is the best data migration method based on the situation you described. ndmpcopy will have to be run from a Unix system. This is basically the migration controller. You can do a rdist style refresh (like a incremental backup), just use the -level 0 option for the initial copy, then you can do -level 1 (up to 9) for your incrementals. Best method is to setup crossover GbE between the filers.

data migration
by Leonard, Roger 23 Apr '01

23 Apr '01

i have 4 filers (330's and a 540) that i need to migrate to one 840. the 840 is brand new with lots of empty 72GB disks and space is not an issue. we were initially going to use snapmirror, however the old machines have volumes of varying sizes, from 120GB on up to 400+. with the 72gb drives, we would have some inefficent raid groups if we did a volume-volume copy. plus i want to shuffle and shift the data around during this move. a "refreshable" copy at the qtree or directory level from old filer to the new is what we need. it looks like ndmpcopy will support this. has anyone ever used this? is this something we can do from the filer CLI?? i didn't see anything at the help prompt. maybe we need to download ndmpcopy and do it from solaris after starting ndmpd on the filers? my downtime would be minimal as well, so a quickly refreshable (ala rdist) copy is needed. any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks Roger D. Leonard
