Hi All, A NAS qtree is exported to all hosts in a NFS environment (this is an exception, as exports are done to specific hosts usually) with 1000s of linux hosts. Qtree is reporting NFS activity and we need to find the hosts and unmount on all of them to decommission this NAS mount. Could you suggest any method to identify the hosts mounting the NFS share (IP/hostname) from ONTAP? Thanking you, BL.

You can do at volume level, go to advanced mode and try adding -v volume_name to cifs terminate and restart commands.

Hi. Have a CIFS share/ shared excel sheet by 7-10 busines users. Often the file get locked and storage admin need to execute "lock break –h host –p cifs" to release the locks. Some time this affects the unsaved data. Is there a workaround/solution to prevent from this happening? appreciate your feedbacks. Thanks in advance

Small piece of input, you need to be considering a NetApp VSC (Virtiual Storage console, a plugin to vCenter,whcih uses vCenter APIs for its operation). Going forward there won't be new versions of SMVI, backup/recovery feature is available in VSC licensed via SMVI license on controllers.Please read the product documentation available on support site (NOW site) for more details.

Your issue could be this https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&id=2015921 this article is no longer active since the Platform is End of support https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&id=2015921 here is the solution from the Archive: This affects all FAS2020, FAS2040, and FAS2050 systems. Possible causes for BIOS boot failures are: Loose connection of NVMEM battery Dirty shutdown >>72+ hrs (depleting the battery completely) before powering the system back on. Improper DIMM replacement procedure DIMM errors related to defective DIMM DIMM errors related to memory control circuitry Solution 1. Run the following commands in the BMC shell: bmc shell -> priv set advanced bmc shell*-> system reset backup bmc shell*-> system power cycle This will cause a dirty shutdown of your appliance.

Now I read the question correctly, I am not completely sure but as far as both the systems sees the common snapmirror snapshots I guess it will work.

You have to do the baseline transfer again, if it is with in the datacenter on that LAN it will have a much higher transfer speed. If it is across dataceneter you can also use SM to Tape method for baseline, typically used in low network bandwidth environments.

Not sure what is happening, suggest to open a a tech case with NetApp.

I believe you will see the boot process now and option to enter special boot menu.

If this is a not a HA pair be in bmc>system console menu Power recycle the controller and wait for the boot messages to appear on the console

Can you try to ping the main IP, Try ssh/telnet are you getting a login prompt?

Not sure this a BURT, but note that customers are advised to run 8.1RC3.

halt -f is the correct procedure for halting one node of a cluster with out initiating a cluster fail-over. No need to disable the cluster by cf disable. You can log into the node and issue "bmc status" to find the BMC IP. BTW all sysadmin manuals are free, and you can access them via your NOW site ID.

I have seen this temp sensor error (with error: 3) gets automatically cleared after some time and all the sensors comes back to normal. Please scan /etc/message files for any logs related to this. Log a case with NetApp support in case of suspicion.

Both works.ONTAP adds a name to each interface in the format hostname-interface in /etc/hosts file that might be the reason for the default rc file entry format. Not aware of any specific reason.

Please try stats list instances lun stats show –I 1 –n 10 lun:lun_instance_name refer man page for additional information. Also there is a lun_top tool available on NOW site, toolschest which you an downland and install on a windows or unix cleint, that might also help.

If this is a CIFS environment, I will consider disabling client access to snapshots as described in below link http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/ontap/rel733/html/ontap/onlinebk/GUID-56684CAA-FA05-450C-93D4-C12D8A695F07.html

I have a MPHA cluster. recently added a new DS4243 shelf. I have not assigned the disks to any node.This is the last shelf on the stack. While adding the shelf I got into a Shelf ID conflict and need to reboot the shelf to clear it. Question: If I power off the shelf in this current config and reboot, what will be the consequences. Is ONTAP going to panic/failover etc?or my problem will be solved(shelf boot up with correct ID) with out rebooting the the entire shelves and controllers. If anybody has any experience, please like me know. Thanks in advance.

You are advised to use Oncommand Systems Manager v2 from now site (free download). Connect to filer via console/management i/f ifconfig vif_name down vif destroy vif_name *ifgrp in ONTAP 8 Update /etc/rc file. Remove entries for VIF and then add ifconfig entry for the interface that you would like to setup. Sample ifconfig e0a `hostname`-e0a netmask 255.255.255.0 Make sure to update /etc/hosts file for ' hostname`-e0a >source /etc/rc verify changes by ifconfig -a Also refer to the network admin guide (for the ONTAP version that you are running) available to download under http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/ontap/ontap_index.shtml
