Installing SnapDrive UNIX 5.2.1

GIE_CODELOG — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:37:46 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to use Snapdrive 5.2.1 on Oracle Linux 6.5 (VMWare 5.5) to connect to NetApp NFS exports :

When I use sdconfcheck check :

NOTE: SnapDrive Configuration Checker is using the data file version v12052013

Please make sure that you are using the latest version.

Refer to the SnapDrive for Unix Installation and Administration Guide for more details.

Detected Intel/AMD x64 Architecture

Detected Linux OS

Error: No Client Stats (/proc/net/rpc/nfs: No such file or directory).

Detected NFSv3 FileSystem on Linux

Detected Ext4 File System

Detected Linux Native LVM2

Did not find any supported Multipath solutions.

Did not find any supported cluster solutions.

Did not find any supported HU tool kits.

Trace-Enabled: on

Trace-Level: 7

Did not find any supported configurations by SDU Version 5.2.1

Did I miss something ?

Thanks in advance.

Olivier -

I don't think you're missing anything.

You're using Snapdrive for Snapmanager connectivity ?

The err messages are due to not having an FC SAN solution, hence no need for Host Utilities.

Next is to set snapdrive credentials for the storage system with 'snapdrive config set' ...

I hope this response has been helpful to you.

Hi Eugene,

Credentials have been set already.

Here is the output of snapdrive config list :

username appliance name appliance type

--------------------------------------------------

*** ***-mgmt StorageSystem

*** oncommand DFM

*** ip DFM

I replace my information with *

You can test your setup with

snapdrive storage show -fs /oracle/oraclass/oradata

(your file system)

Or take a test snap:

snapdrive snap create -fs /oracle/oraclass/oratemp -snapname netapp123

Eugene,

Here is the output of snapdrive storage show -all

WARNING: This operation can take several minutes

based on the configuration.

0001-185 Command error: storage show failed: no NETAPP devices to show or add the host to the trusted hosts (options trusted.hosts) and enable SSL on the storage system or retry after changing snapdrive.conf to use http for storage system communication and restarting snapdrive daemon.

It doesn't look like the config for the storage was set correctly.

You should see the NetApp listed when you do 'snapdrive config list'.

I hope this response has been helpful to you.

Eugene,

the "snapdrive config list" command returns me the SAS and SATA storage :

username appliance name appliance type

account1 netapp11-mgmt StorageSystem

account1 netapp12-mgmt StorageSystem

account2 oncommand DFM

Are there NFS exports from these storage systems mounted ?

No, when I try to mount my NetApp NFS export :

mount.nfs: backgrounding "netapp:/vol/myvol"

mount.nfs: mount options: "bg,hard,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,vers=3,nointr,timeo=600,tcp,addr=my@IP"

Olivier -

Take a close look at your exports in /etc/exports and get these mounts working.

File /etc/exports is empty like production server...

Hi Olivier,

I assume you are using NetApp 7-mode, run rdfile /etc/exports at the storage. it should not be empty. below is one line from my storage

/vol/rsc776 -sec=sys,rw,nosuid

Are you able to ping storage NFS IP from this Linux server? try to run rcpinfo -p xx.xx.xx.xx which is NFS server IP.

Thanks

Glen

|Dont believe the error.its unable to see HUk or trying to connect with wrong path.check etc/hosts on controller and unix. remove or add snapdrive config -mgmtpath and try it will really help.
