Hi All,

We are having strange issue with our NFS mount points. We havd FAS2240-4 running 8.2.4P6 7-Mode in HA. And NFS clients are Suse 11.4 x64. Below is issue description.

Mount points of filer 1 are getting stalled on both Suse clients while mount points of filer 2 are running fine on both Suse Clients. After mount points are stalled , i need to remount the mount points of filer 1 again and while doing so i am getting below RPC timed out error and it is getting mounted through UDP. But after doing some read operations it is getting stalled again. But if i have taken a reboot of filer1 it is getting mounted without RPC timed out error. But after some read operations it is getting stalled again. 

mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon
mount.nfs: timeout set for Mon Nov 27 16:09:32 2017
mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'addr=10.158.254.53'

10.158.254.53:/vol/v_fs0005 on /mnt type nfs (rw)

I have already check the firewall and there is no firewall between Suse clients and filer 1 . Also telnet is working on NFS ports 2049 and others ports. 

Hi all, 

As I've stated in other post (cf https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-ONTAP-Discussions/ONTAP-Select-Cannot-create/td-p/131724 ) I'm in a process of evaluating  Ontap Deploy 2.6.

But each time I try to deploy a simple "single node evaluation cluster " , the cluster deployment fails with same message : ".... create failed. Reason: Error during configuration of vnics:  InvalidRequestFault." 

Esxadmin.log contains some errors:

[INFO] [Thu Nov 23 05:43:31 2017] [8815] Configuring Network ...
[INFO] [Thu Nov 23 05:43:31 2017] [8815] Error encountered while creating VM
[INFO] [Thu Nov 23 05:43:31 2017] [8815] [13] InvalidArg: <scsiC:N> invalid - Invalid/missing disk 'scsi0:0'
[ERROR] [Thu Nov 23 05:43:31 2017] [8815] [51] Err: Error during configuration of vnics: InvalidRequestFault

Our Vmware environment is as follows:

• vsphere (vcenter managed) version = 6.0.0 build 4510822 
• Vcenter version : 6.0.0 3634793
• Each tested host has 2 Distributed vswitch. One with 2*40G uplinks, and one with 2*10G uplinks. Both uplinks are configured in LACP mode
• Ontap Select networks are using 2 distributed port group: one for external/management network, and one for internal (only used for HA pair) . Both distributed PG comes from same distributed vswitch (the one using 2*40G LAG)
• local datastore tested comes from 2 local SAS disks, grouped in a RAID 1 LV managed by a Smart Array P840ar.
• SAN datastore tested comes from external LUN accessed by Fiber channel
• all our hardware stack (servers, san switchs, external array, bios firmware, etc ...) is fully supported by Vmware and in the compatibility matrix. 

FYI, below  is an example of CLI commands I used for a "single node eval cluster deployment " : 

• host add --host-id ESXHost01.lan--username vsphere.local\\myuser --password mypassword --vcenter VCenter01.lan
• host configure --host-id ESXHost01.lan --location MyLocation --storage-pool SAN_Datastore_01 --eval --management-network NFSDATA_PG --data-network NFSDATA_PG --instance-type small --capacity-limit 3072
• cluster create --name ONSCluster01 --cluster-mgmt-ip A.B.C.D --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway A.B.C.E --ontap-image-version 9.2P1 --node-names ONSNode1 --node-hosts ESXHost01.lan --node-mgmt-ips A.B.C.F

where :

• ESXHost01.lan is the ESX host where I want to deploy Ontap Select Node n°1. This ESX is part of a Vsphere Cluster (this ESX, and the associated Vsphere Cluster, is also a production one, with other working VM on it)
• VCenter01.lan is the Vcenter managing ESXHost01 (this Vcenter is a production one, managing many ESX clusters )
• SAN_Datastore_01 is the Shared storage datastore (from an external array accessed by FiberChannel) 
• NFSDATA_PG is the Distributed PortGroup to be used (this DPG is a production working port group, with other working VM using it)
• ONSCluster01 is the the Ontap Select cluster name (the name is already registered in the .lan DNS domain) 
• ONSNode1 is the the Ontap Select cluster name (the name is already registered in the .lan DNS domain) 

What we have tested so far:

• We have tested Ontap Deploy 2.5 and 2.6 without any improvement 
• wa have tested with Local Datastore and SAN Datastore without any improvement 
• we have tested from GUI and from CLI without any improvement 

We don't know what to test anymore and are about to give up with Ontap Select (and replace it with a non Netapp solution). So if someone has a new idea it is the moment to tell us :-) 

Thanks. 

Regards

Pierre. . 

I am running "qos statistics workload characteristics show", and as the result, it shows me thousands IOPS on each of these WORKLOADS. I am wondering what these two workloads for? and can you please explain to me by examples?

Thanks!

How can i non-disruptively migrate on a  metrocluster setup ?

I have a 2 node metrocluster. 

example

mc01-n01

mc01-n02

mc02-n01

mc02-n02

We just added 2 more modes to both sides n03 and n04

i need to decom n01-n02 on both sides

what would be least disruptive way to migrate ?

Hi All,

I am getting an error while doing an ONTAP upgrade from 8.2.2----> 8.3.2. It says below.

snapshots is greater than the maximum allowed 2,000 snapshots per node for upgrading with Hyper-V over SMB or SQL over SMB in use  

The current configuration of the cluster: FAS3250, two nodes switchless cluster.

1. when I check the hwu for FAS3250, I found that max limit of flex volume is 1000. and as per my understanding per flex volume, we can have 256 snapshots. So how it says that max limit per node would be 2000.

2. Is this limit only applicable when Hyper-V over SMB or SQL over SMB in use?

3. what should be our resolution to fix it?

Regards,

Khalid Anwar

Hi Guys,

from netapp perspective, is there any link where i can see the maximum supported IOPs of the disks based on the type of disks and RPM.

regards
Vinay

Hello to the community,

we did yesterday a minor upgrade (9.1P5 to 9.1P9) on a 2 node bridge attached metrocluster.

We noticed that at the end of the upgrade process, all snapmirror relationship that were setup for transitioning some 7-mode volumes are vanished.

We had to recreate the relationship, then we restarted updates without problems.

This is really a strange behaviour.
I didn't find nothing searching in bug or KB.

Is someone experiencing the same issue?

Kind regards

Lorenzo

Greetings,

I have 3 clusters with ONTAP 9.1P8.Cluster1 has a svm1 with volume1 on it.
This volume is archived via snapvault to [cluster2][svm2][vlomue2].
Now I want to move svm2 inclussive volume2 to cluster3. Is this possible?
If not, is it perhaps possible to move only voume2 from cluster2 to [cluster3][svm3]?
All of this, of course, while maintaining the current snapvault relationship and archived back-up's.
I like to hear about the possibilities.
Johan

Hi,

Suddenly or at least without my knowledge of any change a dialy snapvault update stopped working. Even when forcing an update or a resync it still fails.

Hi, when i running command "statistics system show" on a 8.3.2RC1 cluster mode server with admin user,it returns error says "Error: command failed: More than 50 samples are not allowed. Please delete existing sample(s) to create a new sample."

I could not find any place to delete those 50 samples,any thought on it?

thanks

With ONTAP 7-mode I could follow links outside of the CIFS share using symlink.trranslation Map entries,

but with CTOP 9 I can't get this to work using the new implemenation of  defining a UNIX Path for an existing share

I can only get relative and absolute folder and file symbolic links to work within the share

Doe's anyone know if this is possible with CTOP 9.2 ?

A few years ago, a colleague created a PowerShell script to throttle active SnapMirror jobs during business hours, and a separate script to unthrottle them at night. The scripts only apply to jobs that run into daytime hours and in some cases continue into a second day. We have to throttle during business hours or it brings these offices to a crawl.

We are about to convert the filers at our remote offices from 7-mode to cdot. Unfortunately, the "snapmirror throttle" command we use in 7-mode doesn't have an equivalent in cdot. i'm looking online and in help to determine the best way to accomplish the same task in cdot. Everything I've found so far adjusts throttling for the next transfer but not the current one. Any ideas?

Here is an example of the script we use for 7-mode:

Invoke-NaSsh -Name <filer_name> -Command "snapmirror throttle <amount> <destination_path>"

Hi, i was wondering if anyone can tell me whats the bottleneck on this empty 2554 with 10G LACP Network.

i roughtly get 33mb/s from a Windows 10 SSD via 10G Network to the filer.

smb2 is on. MTU is 9000 on the switch even. flowcontrol is set to none on switch and the vif.

we are using 24x2TB SATA. Still a bit dissapointing performance.

Another "older" 2240 with 24x2tb gives me around 52mb/s, so i wonder why the newer one is even slower on the same network from same source.

Hello,

I have a client that is planning on restoring a snapshot that is 7TB in size and is looking for how long it will take to restore prior to starting.  I have not found any information that will assist..  They are 8.x 7 mode.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I have a volume which has mixed security and cifs shares.

I want to mount this volume to linux client but when ı mount from linux windosws client get permisson error.

I searched the error and found name mapping solution. I configure usermap.cfg but it did not worked.I want to map linux user to a windows user. 

Here is the config for usermapping.cfg;

domain/username <= linuxusername

I want to map linux user to a windows user. 

Can you help me to find out solution ?

Thanks,

ONTAP Recipes: Did you know you can…? 

Easily convert (Inplace) a plaintext volume to encrypted in ONTAP 9.3

1) If the cluster is configured with Onboard/External Key-manager and VE is licensed , then use the below commands to convert an existing plaintext volume to encrypted

>>volume encryption conversion start –volume <> -vserver <>

This will start encryption scan on the volume and converts all existing data to encrypted form.

New incoming data will be written in encrypted form also .

2) You can check the status of the conversion using

>>volume encryption conversion status –volume <> -vserver <>

For more information, see the ONTAP 9 documentation center

Hello,

I've deployed a single node evaluation cluster with Ontap Select deploy. Everything is in the same subnet to start with (vcenter, deploy, single node).

The "cluster" was deployed successfully but with some errors at the end in the log (dns and ntp settings, although I gave the good ip's for deployment), and more annoying, the following error: "ONTAP default password reset failed. Use System Manager to set a new cluster administrator password". Since the password was not set properly, I can't login, so I don't see how I could use system manager to reset the pssword :-)

Any idea why this failed, and how to fix it? I googled but seems there is no default userid/password?

Thanks.

At the end of October we updated our FAS8040 to ONTAP 9.2P1. Since then we get the message "secd.cifsAuth.problem: vserver (SVM_NAME) General CIFS authentication problem on all SVMs Error: User authentication procedure failed CIFS SMB2 Share mapping - Client Ip = xxx.xx.xx.xxx [3 ms ] Error accepting security context for Vserver identifier (27). Cluster and Domain Controller times differ by more than the configured clock skew (KRB5KRB_AP_ERR_SKEW). ** [6] FAILURE: CIFS authentication failed ".We have checked the times on the SVMs and the affected servers / clients, they are the same everywhere.We only use one NTP server, which is defined on each system.
