RE: Vif and Cluster setup questions

In a clustered environment, partnering a VIF needs the VIF name of the other filer's VIF rather than it's IP address (and it makes it easier if you use names that are easily differentiated between the two filers)... > -----Original Message----- > From: Art Hebert [mailto:art@arzoon.com] > Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 7:04 PM > To: 'Sam Cramer' > Cc: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' > Subject: RE: Vif and Cluster setup questions > > > > > > > Here is my rc lines: > > > > ifconfig e6 mediatype 100tx-fd > > ifconfig e0 mediatype 100tx-fd > > vif create multi vif01 e6 e0 > > vif favor e6 > > ifconfig vif01 `hostname`-e6 mediatype 100tx-fd partner vif01 > ^^^^^ > >When specifying the partner of a vif, use the IP address of > the partner > >interface, not the interface name. > > >Sam > > > Sam -- I tried using the partner address and it complained. > I also tried > the hostname of the partner and it also complained.

In most circumstances it should load balance, but the algorithm used by the switch actually doesn't attempt to "load balance" per se; it simply distributes traffic across the links based on the source and destination address of the incoming packet. In other words, the switch doesn't pay attention to the "load" on each link. By using a simple hash function on the incoming packets it distributes them over the available links; if the packets vary in such a way that the hash function distributes them fairly evenly, the load on each link on each link should be roughly equal.

I wrote > When specifying the partner of a vif, use the IP address of the partner > interface, not the interface name. Sigh... this is exactly backwards. As the man page (na_vif(1)) notes, use the interface name, not the address. Sorry for any confusion, and I promise not to skip that second cup of coffee before replying next time! Sam

You could probably find retail space available at one of the 38 Gateway Country stores that they announced plans to close recently... ;-) Come to think of it, there's no way NetApp management would sign off on it. You wouldn't make the same kind of profit (clothing retail is pretty cut throat, I understand), and shareholders would not stand for overall gross margins dropping below XX% (unless EMC's dropped, too) [1]. Oops, shareholder opinion may be a touchy subject nowadays... [1] Sanitized gross margin figure in case this is a touchy matter to anyone; if it really matters to you the information is public and easy to find; the way I see it NetApp can only charge for their product what the market will bear, so no you didn't pay too much.

i ran into the same problem with [i believe] the cheetah 18G drives. i later found the insignificant little piece of paper stating that there might be a problem if you didn't download the latest disk defs. i can understand the filer not recognizing/using the disk. but slamming to a halt? brrrrrr. the netapp engineer agreed that the notice should be large red and very visable. sad to see that this did not happen. if anyone in netapp-land is listening, could this packaging bug be fixed? thank you. i'd be happy to provide case details to netapp upon request. --- This has a fix. This is part of the 6.1 release which is currently in FCS. You can check details on this on the NOW site. The root of this is..we are very particular over what drives we allow in our systems. Different vendors have different way of "working" and we thoroughly test all drives, models, and specific firmware versions before we release it to the wild. Data protection is whats on our mind here. Clearly there is always a better way, and feedback into Engineering asking why we did it that way resulted in reocnstructing how we deal with non-qualified drives and it no longer causes downtime in the current FCS release of ONTAP 6.1. Please review the FCS documentation on NOW to better understand what our OS release procedures and definitions are. If anyone ever has features for different ways of doing things they want to be heard here at Netapp..open a case and ask. Your technical support rep. will find the answers..and if they dont exist will open an RFE. Your sales contacts are also open to suggestions from the field. Free leather jackets are not considered RFE material..just so were all in sync on that. :^)
