Performing maintenance on nodes of a cluster
Good afternoon experts,
We have a six node (3 HA pair) cluster. Our cluster is relatively simple in terms of how we use them. All SAN via FCoE. We want to perform maintenance on one of the HA pairs because we want to relocate to a different rack. We already accept the outage for any data hosted on the HA-pair.
Is there any thing I should watch out for when I shutdown this HA pair? Anything special I should take into consideration to make sure that the cluster and the remaining HA pairs continues to function?
Thanks,
DB

How to move root volume to aggr with less disks?
Hi there.
I've setup our first AFF200 system with ONTAP 9.1. I powered it up and went through the Guided Cluster Setup.
Reviewing the nodes afterwards I see the root aggregate is taking 10 of the SSD 3.8TB drives and set them to 53.88GB of usable space out of the 3.49TB of physical size. The root volume is set to 368GB.
So my first question is what's going on here? Why 10 disks? Why has the system set the drives to 53.88GB of usable space? Is this the standard default setup now? Is it still best practices to have a dedicated root aggregate consuming this many drives?
How can I move this to the standard dedicated 3 drives?
Thanks for the help.

Message: ses.multipath.ReqError: SAS disk shelf detected without a multipath configuration.
Hi All,
I have been getting the alert as below may i know if this is a kind of BUG ?
Ontap Version :- 8.2.3P5
Message: ses.multipath.ReqError: SAS disk shelf detected without a multipath
configuration.
Description: This message occurs when the system detects that a SAS disk shelf
is in a single-path cabling configuration.
Action: Check for SAS disk shelf enclosures with only a single path using the
'sasadmin expander_map' command. Physically inspect all SAS cables on the
attached storage for secure and correct connection.
Thanks,

Netapp snapmirror question
hello ,
We 're going to perform a DR test for the customer . The Production will be up during the test and customer would be bringing up the servers at the DR to test .
I am new to netapp so want to clarify the steps : at DR>
Break the Replication Mirrors
Create the igroup:
Once the luns are mapped, scan the ESX servers for the presented luns and proceed with VM recovery.
I am refering to an Old document that was prepared an year back and the document doesn't mention quiesceing . My question is whether its not necessary to quiesce the replication prior to breaking it in this scenario?
Thanks !

Adjusting Load Sharing Mirrors For New Equipment
Scenario: we have a 4 node 8.3.2P10 cluster consisting of an 8060 HA Pair and an 8080 AFF HA Pair. We are adding a new 8080 AFF HA Pair tto the cluster and migrating everything from the 8060s to the new 8080s. We will then decommission the 8060s.
My question relates to load sharing mirrors for SVM root volumes. The root volume for all 18 SVMs is on node 1, one of the 8060s that will be decommissioned. What is the most straightforward way to move the root volume to the new 8080 AFF system and keep the replication jobs intact? Would vol move work and not disrupt the replication jobs? Any suggestions?

Cluster peering and Snapmirror question
Hi,
Below diagram is intercluster LIF setup, IC1 & IC2 LIFs created in node A, IC3 & IC4 LIFs created in node B, IC5 & IC6 LIFs create in other cluster (node C & D).
Network address IC1 & IC3 is 10.0.20.98,99
Network address IC2 & IC4 is 10.0.30.98,99
Network address IC5 & IC6 is 10.0.50.98,99
We will setup cluster peering between 2 sites.
1. Does anyone know the configuration is correct?
2. How the replication traffice route?
Thanks

Different MTU size on one multimode_lacp ifgrp.
Need inputs If we have two ports part in LACP and set as 9000 MTU from switch side and if we configure two interface like with VLAN tag a1a-247 with MTU 1500 and a1a-320 with MTU 9000 will it work fine?

ONTAP Recipes: Easily create a SnapLock volume
Did you know you can…
Easily create a SnapLock Volume?
1. Install the SnapLock license.
license add -license-code <key>
2. Initialize the compliance clock on all the nodes of the cluster.
snaplock compliance-clock initialize -node <nodename>
3. Create a SnapLock aggregate of the appropriate SnapLock type.
storage aggregate create -aggregate <aggrname> -diskcount <count> -snaplock-type <enterprise|compliance>
4. Create a volume on the aggregate.
volume create -vserver <vservername> -volume <volname> -aggregate <aggrname> -size <size>
For more information, please see the ONTAP 9 documentation center.

ONTAP Recipes: Easily make a file into a WORM file on a SnapLock volume via NFS
ONTAP Recipes: Did you know you can…?
Easily make a file into a WORM file on a SnapLock volume via NFS
1. On the NFS host on which the volume is mounted, change the permissions on the file to read only. This makes the file a WORM file.
chmod -w <file>
2. To override the default retention period setting and set a retention period greater than the default, you can either:
- Explicitly set the time of the file to the retention period required.
touch -a -t <[[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss]> <file>
- Set the autocommit scan period on the volume. This ensures that any file that has not been modified for the period set, will automatically be made a WORM file.
volume snaplock modify -vserver <vservername> - volume <volumename> -autocommit-period <value>

ONTAP Recipes: Did you know you can…?
Easily make a file a WORM_APPEND file on a SnapLock volume via NFS
On the NFS host on which the volume is mounted, create an empty file, change the permissions on the file to read only. This makes the file a WORM file. Now, change the permissions back to read-write. This will make the file a WORM_APPEND file.
touch <file>
chmod -w <file>
chmod +w <file> (setting the write permission to ‘group’ or ‘other’ will also work)
For more information, please see the ONTAP9 documentation center

Difference between VSC/SMVI snapshots and OnTap native snapshots?
If we use VSC snapshots ( without quiescing the datatstore) we can mount them in vSphere and do the recovery. Likewise, we can do the same by mounting Snapshots taken by OnTap native snapshots.
Are these two methods the same?
What the fomer one can do but the latter one canno't do?
If the same, can I then use OnTap snapshots to replace VSC/SMVI?
Thank you for your inputs in advance!

SP Firmware update
Hello all,
I have a question regarding firmware on FAS2650. Can I update Service Processor firmware version from 5.1 to 5.1P1 while keeping ONTAP on 9.1GA? There is no information about SP 5.1P1 version in the Service Processor Support Matrix. What are the rules when it comes to compatibility of firmwares between "P" versions of SP and ONTAP?
Thank you in advance.
Regards.

Cluster Peer Unavailable - Data and ICMP Reachable
Attempting to peer two clusters (Cluster #1 and Cluster #2) but cannot get past Availability = Unavailable
Cluster #1 is a six (6)-node cluster
Cluster #2 is a six (2)-node cluster
Tried peering with and without authentication - current peering has Authentication - OK
Both Data and ICMP Ping status are session_reachable and interface_reachable respectively on both sides of the peering
All ports involved/recognized have the same MTU (9000)
Cluster #1 is currently successfully peered and the source to a 3rd-party provider for DR (SnapMirror)
Cluster #1 displays both nodes for Cluster #2 for Remote Cluster Nodes - output of cluster peer show -instance
Cluster #2 only shows Cluster #1's node1 (of six) in for Remote Cluster Nodes - output of cluster peer show -instance
Cluster #2 DOES, however, show all six IP addresses for each node of Cluster #1 for Active IP Addresses - output of cluster peer show -instance
