I love this list, cause it makes me hack a little bit. So if you are on ontap8, bust into systemshell.

There's a cool little command called tcp_client. Using it, to test if 10566 (snapmirror tcp port) is open goes like this.

odin% tcp_client usage: tcp_client my_ip my_port server_ip server_port odin% tcp_client 10.0.0.2 10289 10.0.0.1 10566 ***25 bytes sent server closed odin%

port 22 is specifically not open, so it hung here. And ctrl-c got me out. It may have wanted a lower source port too.

odin% tcp_client 10.0.0.2 10289 10.0.0.1 22

^C odin% man tcp_client man: Command not found. odin% tcp_client -h usage: tcp_client my_ip my_port server_ip server_port odin% tcp_client 10.0.0.2 10289 10.0.0.1 10566 ***25 bytes sent server closed odin%

On the remote side, we see this.

So that seems to be a way to do it. If there's an easier way, let's here it (besides asking the network guys).

I need to check if the firewall is open between filers on snapmirror ports. I cannot find a "telnet" command so I can telnet from fi ler to to filer on specific port. How do I check from filer CMD line if the ports on the snapmirror partner are open Thanks!

Are you using c-mode or running in 7-mode? That plugin is, I believe, only supported in cluster-mode, per the documentation.

Here...from the release notes:

The NetApp NFS Plug-in for VMware vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI) is supported on Data ONTAP® 8.1 or later operating in Cluster-Mode.

This is my syntax.

esxcli software sources vib list -d file:///NetAppNasPlugin.zip

I have a case open, but figured I would ping the world to see if something comes back..

Hi Guys Couple things going on. First, Tim is correct that VAAI for NFS is supported in Cluster-Mode in 8.1. VAAI support for 7-mode is coming soon. However, the same VIB works with both.

Second, regardless of ONTAP release, the VIB should still install in ESXi 5. I suspect it's because you named it NetAppNasPlugin.zip when the expected file name should be NetAppNasPlugin.vib.

The .zip format, which isn't actually published yet, is the offline format. The .zip and .vib are actually a different format. The .zip actually contains the .vib, plus some other metadata. While the offline version can be installed in a running ESX server, it's really meant for use with ImageBuilder either to build your own images for regular installation, or for use with AutoDeploy.

I hope this helps!

Peter

And if you had never heard of systemshell and need to set it up (on a lab system):

## First obtain the advanced privileges priv set advanced

## Then unlock and reset the diag users password useradmin diaguser unlock useradmin diaguser password

## Now you should be able to access the systemshell and use all the standard Unix ## commands systemshell login: diag password: ********

Warning: The system shell provides access to low-level diagnostic tools that can cause irreparable damage to the system if not used properly. Use this environment only when directed to do so by support personnel.

thanks
