Active IQ now has unified Digital Advisor and Discovery Dashboard watchlists

Active IQ now has unified Digital Advisor and Discovery Dashboard watchlists

You may have noticed a new look and feel to Active IQ this morning. Previously Digital Advisor custom dashboards and Discovery Dashboard watchlists were two separate things that couldn’t be mixed or shared between DA and DD. As of this morning, they are now unified. This allows you to create and maintain your watchlists in one place.

There are, however, a few important things to note about this:

If you had a default Discovery Dashboard watchlist and did not have a default Digital Advisor custom dashboard, you’ll notice that your default DD watchlist is now your default in DA also. If you want to change this, click on the word “Watchlists” on the left navigation menu where you’ll see that you can change this with the stars on the left (see screenshot below).
Discovery Dashboard has a lot more options for creating interesting watchlists. Some of those are not yet supported in Digital Advisor: Sales Rep, Partner, and Location (Region and Sales District). Digital Advisor supports Customer, Site, Group, and Serial Number. On the watchlist screen, you’ll see which one you can open each in (see screenshot below).
Since Discovery Dashboard is for pre-sales, NetApp and partners have access to it. Customers can only use Digital Advisor. This is not a change, but a reminder. Partners are also going to see this integration, but customers will only see a new look on the left side and new watchlist dialogs

I did install Graphite using Docker but how to have Docker locally and also another question how do I edit whisper values or metrics on Debian 10 when I install Graphite ??

- I really don't think you want to mess with Graphite on Debian 10 when the Harvest appliance is the way NetApp is going.

Graphite has IMO fallen way out of favor in recent years, and in fact graphite-carbon is so broken out of the box on Ubuntu 20.04 that it won't even start, yet nobody cares. Shows how little it is used anymore.

If you absolutely want to run your own graphite services, I'd suggest using the official Graphite container so that you can dispense with all of the distro-specific woes you might run into.

I will try it once again from 0 and I really hope that you can help me with that even I can pay for anyone who can help me to install the last version of Graphite on Debian 10

Re: How to install Graphite and Grafana

yannb — Wed, 17 Feb 2021 17:10:15 GMT

Definitely 🙂

There is probably more informations available from graphite logs, maybe somewhere in /opt/graphite/logs/ or similar ?

Re: How to install Graphite and Grafana

paul_stejskal — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 16:12:46 GMT

Honestly I find it easier to use nabox. https://nabox.org/

If you're gonna use Harvest, I'd set that up. It makes it so much easier!

YEs I'll now. Watched the Video.

But only in our TEST-env. Because it is an OVA. And this is not supported in our PROD environment.

So, still waiting for the upgrade.

Re: How to install Graphite and Grafana

yannb — Thu, 03 Dec 2020 08:47:48 GMT

Would you consider NAbox (https://nabox.org/) an alternative in the meantime ?

Re: How to install Graphite and Grafana

maartendeboer — Thu, 03 Dec 2020 08:27:45 GMT

That would be great.

Is Graphite then still needed (with another DB)?

Because I need to (re)install Harvest+Graphite onto RHEL7.

And I was facing some issues with Graphite.

Re: How to install Graphite and Grafana

yannb — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 11:10:27 GMT

Harvest 2.0 will make this much easier with a more modular architecture. Prometheus will be the primary TSDB I believe but you will be able to write plugin for other backends.

Re: How to install Graphite and Grafana

kodiak_f — Tue, 01 Dec 2020 16:36:13 GMT

Haven't gone down the path yet with NetApp Harvester but wanted to mention that it might be nice for NetApp to look at moving toward InfluxDB in some future release of Harvester since Graphite seems to be falling out of favor as dated tech. I ended up dropping Graphite when Ubuntu started shipping LTS that packaged broken-out-of-the-box versions of graphite/graphite-carbon and nobody noticed for months (sending a signal that it's really falling by the wayside IMO).

I'll probably try my luck with using the graphite receiver service on InfluxDB and see if the harvester data comes in OK.

Re: PowerShell Script to Create Visio Diagram of C-MODE Cluster Config

Mr-Joshua — Tue, 28 Jul 2020 19:17:49 GMT

Hello Marc,

I realize that this is an old thread, but your script has been working fantastic. we Just updated to ONTAP 9.7p4, and the document creates, but will not insert the labels for all the icons. The powershell script is showing all the proper names when running, just not placing them on the icons in the Viso (2010) document as it had in the past.

Do you have any thoughts as to why this has stopped working?

Thank you for any help you provide.

NetApp Extends Certification Expiration Dates by 6 Months

Beinhorn — Wed, 08 Apr 2020 18:57:28 GMT

As the world responds to the COVID-19 pandemic, our top priority is supporting our employees, partners, and customers who are faced daily with new challenges. NetApp University is extending the expiration date for all certifications set to expire in the year 2020 (January 1 to December 31, 2020) by 6 months (180 days). The extension will automatically be applied to your CertMetrics account which you can view/access through CertCenter. This does not require any action on your part.

For example, if your certification expired in February 2020, that certification status will no longer show as expired and you have been granted until July 2020 to re-up your credential. If you have a certification that is set to expire on December 31, 2020, the new expiration date will be set to April 2021.

NetApp University has partnered with PearsonVUE to make remote testing through OnVUE available so that our users are able to take their certification exams from their home or office locations using a remote proctor.

We hope that this will help you on your certification journey during this challenging time! Please take advantage of our full portfolio of free online training as you prepare to successfully take your certification exams. You can find more information on NetApp certifications, including recommended preparation, on the NetApp University Certification page.

Re: How to use the RBAC User Creator for Data ONTAP

konnerth — Fri, 03 Jan 2020 00:17:05 GMT

Please note that the RBAC User Creator tool (Windows executable) and ONTAP privileges file (XML) are posted on the NetApp Support site in the ToolChest for download:

https://mysupport.netapp.com/tools/download/ECMLP2434785DT.html?productID=61965&pcfContentID=ECMLP2434785

As said, the existing 7.X roles work properly with the 9.6 release. I am working to update the XML file to add 9.6 as a named release with no other changes.

The full set of privileges are described in this KB article:

https://kb.netapp.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/1001058

We are also working to replace this tool with functionality within ONTAP System Manager. It should be supported by the next Virtual Appliance release together with ONTAP 9.7 or later.

Re: Storage Automation Store

alexmattes — Fri, 15 Nov 2019 08:12:13 GMT

Hi Mike,

I had exactly the same issue. I managed to get around it by splitting the Pack.

1. Just use 7-Zip to extract the dar File to a Folder.

2. Copy all of the Folder toolkit to the appropriate destinations Paths on the WFA Host C:\Program Files\NetApp\WFA\PoSH\ and C:\Program Files\NetApp\WFA\Perl.

3. Remove the Folder toolkit from the extracted Zip

4. Rezip the Content (make sure that the root of the ZIP contains the xml-Files and the Folders workflow-help and META-INF)

5. Rename the zip-File to .dar

6. Install the dar File via the WFA Gui

I hope this fixes your issue.

Greetings Alex

How to force vCenter to reload VSC/VASA GUI flash data for vSphere Web Client

RajeshPanda — Sun, 14 Apr 2019 17:24:20 GMT

When Virtual Storage Console (VSC) and VASA Provider are registered to vCenter, UI (user interface) extensions are pulled to vSphere. These UI extensions represent the framework that VSC and VASA Provider use to display data.

When new versions of VSC or VASA Provider are released they may be bundled with new UI extensions. During the upgrade process, VSC does not have the ability to delete the old UI extensions off of the vCenter server. These files must be removed manually. If old UI extensions are not removed then a conflict may arise which can cause display issues with the plugin.

During a upgrade of VSC or VASA Provider, it is highly recommended that the old UI extensions be removed.

Can someone explain to me why the high risk count on the dashboard (img_1) does not match the actual number of high risks listed on the details page (img_2)? I suspect it may have something to do with acknowledged risks but even when I set the preference to show the acknowledged risks the number still don't balance. The example below is of a small group which only has 8 controllers. I have several other groups to manage that have over 100 controllers.

steven_doan — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 19:32:19 GMT

So now that I am able to monitor a SVM successfully, I have run into a new problem - REPORTS

I navigate to the SVM and in the lower left there are links to Reports such as FlexCone Storage Savings, Volume Utilization, Storage IOPS/Latency, etc.

However, when I click on the links it opens a new browser window with the following error:

Error 404--Not Found

Error 404--Not Found

From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:

10.4.5 404 Not Found

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.

If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.

I reached out to Oracle on the issue and since it is a NetApp plug-in they offered only a re-direct to NetApp Community for help.

there is where you migrate all over and reboot from the new luns:

migrate/snapmirror the volumes with 7MTT.
extend the iSCSI VLANs in CDOT
create the two new iSCSI lifs in CDOT
create the full igroup,target and luns
initiate a discovery from the host
do the final sync/break snapmirror and then turn off the IPs from 7mode

Re: How to install Graphite and Grafana

san456 — Mon, 17 Sep 2018 19:54:20 GMT

appreciate your quick response.

is it "/var/lib/carbon/whisper". it has three sub-directories

# ls
carbon netapp test

and each sub directories have so many sub directories under which i see one "wsp" file per metric. should all three be copied/replaced on new server? or only the files with "wsp" extension.

I will give it a try when my new server is ready with all components installed and let you know.

Re: How to install Graphite and Grafana

yannb — Mon, 17 Sep 2018 16:24:58 GMT

Yes, it's actually pretty easy.

Graphite maintains historical data in a directory structure made of flat files, one per metric. All you have to do is copy this directory to another server. It's usually located in /opt/graphite/storage/whisper but might be somewhere else. It's usually called "whisper" though.

Re: NetApp OneCollect: The tool for easy, consolidated diagnostic data collection

OGill — Thu, 13 Sep 2018 12:58:23 GMT

Hello,

as far as I can see even with the current version 1.5 of OneCollect you can't collect perfarchives (aka Counter Manager data) from FAS-systems (be it 7-Mode or cDOT).

Is this feature still on the roadmap?

For some customers it simply is not allowed to connect their systems to ActiveIQ to get the fancy performance graphs.

And I can't use OCUM to get performance data since it does not support 7-Mode systems.

And Perfstats are also quite an effort if you for example want a week of data. The output gets really huge and the processing afterwards also takes some time.

Currently in these situations I always have to the mount the correct etc-path and then collect the Performance Archiver files manually which is quite the effort.

Would be awesome if you could tell OneCollect to download the perfarchives from say the latest X hours/days.

Then you could use CMPG to produce some performance graphs.

best regards

Oli

After installing this plug-in and configuring the NetApp-Filers we get every week an AutoSupport-Message with the following subject:

HA Group Notification from <NetApp_controller> (USER_TRIGGERED (ALL:NetApp Storage System Plug-in for OEM. Plug-in Version: 12.1.0.3.0. Controller ONTAP Mode = Cluster : Controller ONTAP version = NetApp Release <NetApp_Release>)) NOTICE

Is this behaviour expected? Can we somehow modify these settings?
