hii,

I am setting up a new vfiler on a Filer, the vfiler is on different domain from the filer, so i created a vlan on vif1 having eoa and eob trunked..My question is by mistake i have put the ipspace on the partner different from filer..i typed it as nor2 instead of nor1. so i want to change it to nor1 however it is on source. I know that there is no way to change the IPspace name or change the vfiler ipspace assigned once created as here it is Trunked interface having a vlan created on vif1. But to be noted, there is no vfiler apart from default vfiler on the partner where i created ipspace. so how can i resolve this issue considering the failover process to work fine. It would be a great help.

Thanks,

Srinivas

For failover, Ipspace names must match with the partner interface in the same Ipspace. If not the same you have to destroy and recreate them.

It depends… if a full reboot NFS and iSCSI may not sustain the outage. To prevent corruption of iSCSI I would have them disconnect… if NFS they could have stale mounts so they may want to unmounts. For a cluster takeover event then the outage can be sustained and is non-disruptive.

I haven’t done VSM from a vfiler to a filer..can you send me any link or doc on this one??

The online data protection guide in the ONTAP documentation is the best example and also the multistore guide.  For VSM, you can use vfiler0 (physical controller) or the vFiler itself - both are supported. If you are using vfiler migrate, vfiler dr or data motion for vFilers, then you have to use vfiler0 as the source and target... vfiler0 can mirror volumes in non-default vfilers.

I hope the filer and the switch needs to be changed to support vlan tagging at the same time. I have done vlan tagging on the filer but the network team haven’t made changes to support vlan tagging on the switch..so I lost vlan tagging on filer..is it right or any other reason for it??
