shouldn't rc_toggle_basic commands be documented on NOW? it is restricted access and i don't remember discussing "lock_dump -f" in my netapp classes.

Wow - easy as that..

Thanks Eyal, that did the trick and we sorted the issue.

I can see why these commands are slightly mystical though. It would be all to easy to pick up the manual and start hammering away in rc_toggle_basic, and you can really play around with things in there. The few useful snipets I have learned are just that - useful in one situation, but quite dangerous in another.

Thanks again Eyal

Simon

I agree. We do not publish all commands, but my answer was not kind of RTFM, but more a specific answer to the question...

I hope it helps...

You can always open support cases, so don't count on toasters answers if this is a must-be-answered issues.

what is lock_dump -f?

From its man page:

NAME lock_dump - print lock records organized by client or by

host (ADVANCED)

...

SYNOPSIS lock_dump [ -f | -h ]

DESCRIPTION lock_dump prints NLM lock records organized either by file,

or by host.

...

OPTIONS -f Prints lock records organized by file. -h Prints lock records organized by host.

This might be read as a sotto voce form of "RTFM"... But, of course, few people outside NetApp will have seen these man pages for the commands hidden behind rc_toggle_basic. They aren't distributed with ONTAP, and they aren't visible at NOW.
