RE: migrating data between filers
by Fox, Adam 20 Apr '01

One other thing to consider. I forgot about this but it is something to think about. vol copy does a block for block copy of the data. I'm guessing that you probably have 36GB or 72GB disks on your 840 and 4GB disks on your 330. Since the disk geometries are very different, your data on the 840 may be more fragmented (i.e. not in nice stripes) as a result of this block-by-block copy than it was on your 330. This *could* result in non-optimal performance. Now if your data changes frequenly and you have a decent amount of free space on the F840 volume, WAFL will fix this over time and you may not even see it in the first place. But it is something to be aware of. If you are concerned about this issue, you may want to consider moving the data via something like ndmpcopy which will re-stripe your data on the destination side. Again, both methods work. Both have advantadges and disadvantages (for example, vol copy is usually quicker than ndmpcopy in my experience). What's important is that you make an informed decision on which way you go. There isn't necessarily a right or wrong answer here and many folks (customers and NTAP folks alike) have strong views one way or another (kind of like vi vs. emacs). So pick the way that you think works best for you. Both are good. Hope this helps. -- Adam Fox NetApp Professional Services, NC adamfox(a)netapp.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Leonard, Roger [mailto:Roger.Leonard@marconi.com] > Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2001 4:38 PM > To: toasters(a)mathworks.com > Subject: migrating data between filers > > > i am getting ready to migrate some data from 330's to an 840 > using volcopy. > has anyone done this out there and do you have > any recomendations and/or gotchas? >

Okay, okay. For all you folks who want one, I'll be happy to provide a NetApp leather jacket with the purchase of your next F840 from me! ;-) Wait a minute, I'm only supposed to handle federal government accounts, and I can't legally do that...

Also depending on the ONTAP version, it will also make this distinction when it asks you for the parter identity. -----Original Message----- From: Sam Cramer [mailto:cramer@netapp.com] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 11:32 AM To: Art Hebert Cc: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: Re: Vif and Cluster setup questions 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.

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.

> I can live without load balancing (though I would think that once the one > link was saturated, packets from another source would go over the > ethernet connection in the vif). 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.
