Hello,

I have quastion about different between command line and web interface.

We have ONTAP 8.3 on FAS2552 and we have configured three SVM with DR to remote FAS2552.

All is set via command line (peers, relationship etc.). Snapmirror works, DR worsk, all seems be ok, but I have one problem :

If I set in "Veeam Backup and Replication" schedule to create snapshot and then run snapmirror, I give back from veeam this error :

"Cannot find any relevant NetApp SnapVault and SnapMirror relationships".

I think, that Veeam doesn't see snapmirror configuration via NetApp api on Netapp.

If I look on NetApp web interface, then I see under SVM in Protection section nothing. Nothing is in Policies -> Protection Policies too.

Soo, I think, that NetApp configuration is wrong, but I dont know why / where?

Otherwise, we have SnapMirror and SnapVault license and Veeam create snapshot on Netapp ok, but working with SnapMirror is problem.

Thank you for tip

Max

Hello,

I have reviewed the logs carefully and noticed the same scripts that run from our soon to retire NAS to the cloud is much faster than when it  is run from the current NAS to NetApp.

The logs showed each is file is copied again when in fact the file is already there.  I just removed auto resize on the volume & deduplication but no luck. This is important to me to reduce the time so we can allocate time to cut over to the new NAS (Netapp).

Old NAS to the cloud:

How do we achieve this. 

We wanted to have an audit on Access level. can we acheive this in netapp 7 Mode.

and instead sharing the data, can we share it through some Link.

Hi,

Can someone help me with appending %date% dynamically to the output file of the perfsat.

This is my batch file content but it does not work:

perfstat8.exe 192.x.x.x  -t 2 -i 3,0 -z --sshprivatekey-file=X:\NetApp Downloads\Perfstat_Windows\Perfstat_Windows\.ssh\id_rsa -- mode = "c" -o X:\NetAppDownloads\Perfstat_Windows\logs\perfstat_%date%

++++++++++++++ should I do something like this +++++++++

@echo off

date = %date%

perfstat8.exe 192.x.x.x  -t 2 -i 3,0 -z --sshprivatekey-file=X:\NetApp Downloads\Perfstat_Windows\Perfstat_Windows\.ssh\id_rsa -- mode = "c" -o X:\NetAppDownloads\Perfstat_Windows\perfstat_%date%

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

None works.

Thanks

Hello,

We encounter a strange issue on 8.2.4 7 mode.

An aggregate is filled with more than 3 TB of datas,

Aggregate               kbytes       used      avail capacity  
aggr0               21055590144 3609363136 17446227008      17%  
aggr0/.snapshot              0          0          0       0%

and however there are only 2 volumes in that aggregate of around 250 Go:

Filesystem              kbytes       used      avail capacity  Mounted on
/vol/volboot/        249036800    6923172  242113628       3%  /vol/volboot/
/vol/volboot/.snapshot   13107200     112104   12995096       1%  /vol/volboot/.snapshot
/vol/volpraboot/     249036800    4945480  244091320       2%  /vol/volpraboot/
/vol/volpraboot/.snapshot   13107200      31516   13075684       0%  /vol/volpraboot/.snapshot

 We can see that this amount of space is consumed of footprint:

Aggregate : aggr0

      Feature                                           Used      Used%
      --------------------------------      ----------------      -----
      Volume Footprints                               3.36TB        17%
      Aggregate Metadata                              1.85MB         0%

      Total Used                                      3.36TB        17%

For information, this aggregate was build with disks from a new shelf, then vol boot was moved into that new shelf (ndmpcopy), filer restarted, and then original aggr0 was deleted.

Should the volume footprints of aggr0 be the sum of each volume footprint ? It doesn't seem to be the case as individual volume foot print do not represent 3 TB

Is there a way to reduce the size of these footprint ?

Many thanks for your help,

Regards

Greetings All,

We are currently ensuring that our STIGs for all servers are in place and I have two areas that I cannot find a resolution for.  They are:

1.  The maximum number of concurrent sessions - Will need to know if there is a setting to set for a maximum number of users to access the NetApp filers at the same time.

2.  The ability for the system to lockout after 15 minutes if idleness. - Like the WIN10 OS, the system will lock after 15 minutes of idleness, is there a setting for the NetApp filers to also have this capability.

I have found the one's for the log-on banner and the one for three unsussessful log-on attempts, so I am good here.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

James

If we use provisioned OnTap RAID6 LUN's on Soalris hosts, in the case of either using ZFS or Solaris Volume Manager, any reasons we should use redundant type of raid configurations, any type of raids or mirror?

Since disks are already protected on NetApp filers, can I just simply use devices without any mirror or raids for extra protection?

Looking forward your inputs!

Hello

Hi, 

I am trying to install SnapCenter on Windows Sever 2016. Unfortunatelly, the installation hangs abruptly at "Installing Package MySQL Stage" as shown in the images below:

Image 1:

Image 2:

After 4 hours of waiting, I finally decided to cancel the installation and got the log file attached herein.  

Any idea what the issue could be? I have tried to redo the installation a couple of times to no avail. 

Hello

First of all I should mentioned I am not a NetApp engineer but rather a Windows engineer

I am trying to achive something that on the surface of it would appear simple 

I have A Windows Server and a CModde vServer there are currently 4 iSCSI connection from the Server to the Filer and I want to add 4 new ones (to different IP addresses on the vServer)

I would prefer to use the command line utility iSCSICli.exe as it is installed on every system (but I could also use DataONTAP toolkit if required)

All I need to do is create a New iSCSI from a particular Source IP address in the Server to a particular IP address on the vServer

I have found several examples on the internet using iSCSIcli.exe but none of them appear to work.

also there are no actual examples when you type iSCSIcli.exe /?

does anyone have a working example please that will let me created a new iSCSI connection which will persist after rebootin the Server

Thanks

Hello,

I'm experiencing a couple of issus with OCPM 4.1.2

The plug-in has installed successfully on one management server and I am recieving alerts and lots of other telemetry from the clusters. The two issues I have run into so far are:

1. I cant add another management server to the pool. When I execute the "Clustered Data ONTAP: Add Management Server" task I am prompted for credentials and when I click OK I recieve the following error:

=== CLIENT ===
OnCommand Plugin for Microsoft 4.0
=== ERROR ===
OC.Common.Error.DefaultErrorDetails

=== MESSAGE ===
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: input

=== DETAILS ===

   at OC.Cluster.OM.Library.Performance.PerfStoreDB.GetOCPMDBServerConnectionInformation()
   at OC.Cluster.OM.Management.ManageResourcePoolMember.ManagementServerCredentials.okButton_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)

2. The "Volumes" view never loads in the console. When I select the "Volumes" view I am presented with a "Loading" message but it never actually loads. When I select the "Volumes" view in the web console I see all 192 volumes populated with relevent status and statistics.

Grateful for any advice

 my problem is that i have restricted the access of a directory to only members of the group Seq_epigen

lechner is a member of the group but can't access to it as she s trying to access it through a CIFS share

Is there a way to support nested group in this configuration? .

I am getting blocking error (40121) in the 7MTT:

"The total combined number of DNS name servers on the specified 7-Mode storage systems and the SVMs is more than 3. Clustered Data ONTAP supports only 3 DNS name servers"

The KB in the recommened actions shows nothing (https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&id=8010446).

What is the workaround for this issue?

I've tried running the following command, to no avail:

transition cbt ignoragbleerrors add -p "project" -c ignore-cifs-ad-domain-mismatch

Hi All

If I am reading this correctly there is still no published fixed for the Cluster ONTAP.  The dates are getting pretty close and our companiesclus security

compliance team are expecting this patched by end of Nov 2017

https://kb.netapp.com/support/s/article/march-2016-openssl-vulnerabilities-in-multiple-netapp-products?language=en_US

Have I missed an advisory update ?  or is that document correct and there is still no update available.

Rgds Andy

Is there a way to configure CIFS auditing in Ontap 8 (7-mode) to obtain the logs in XML format instead of the standard EVT format ?

Looking for some information on how we can have certain events be sent to an email address.  Currently only email we get is a controller going down when we tested failover/redundnacy.

Can we sort/set certain events or system alerts to be sent via email?  I am guessing from reading that this has to be done via the cli?

Recently we got this a few days ago and feel something like this should be emailed to us.

Event: nvmem.battery.FET.off: The NVMEM battery charge FET is off. To prevent data loss, the system will shut down in 24 hours.

I have read about unifided manager but still evaluating other options. 

Thanks,

TT

The PS Manual mentions C types like `DataONTAP.C.Types.Vserver.VserverInfo` or `DataONTAP.C.Types.Sis.SisStatusInfo` as the cmdlet's output, but I can't seem to find their definition anywhere.

Does anybody know where they are available?
