Hi Experts,

Please help me out from this, my SQL admin complains that the LUNS from the filer to the DATABASE server will disappear for some time and will re-appear after some time and i don't have any idea if this is a bug or something with NETAPP or WINDOWS did anybody experienced this already???

Windows O.S:- 2008 R2 SP1

Netapp:- 7.3.4

Thanks,

Nayab

Raise a case with NetApp support.. they will ask you to collect the NSANITY logs of the windows server.. if possible, post the logs here and I can have a look

Did you check the NetApp comparability matrix whether 7.3.4 is compatible with 2008 R2 SP1... any hot fixes missing etc stuff. ?

are you using SnapDrive on server, if not i would suggest you to use SD on the server.

the best practice when you give out a LUN from netapp, its recommended that you have a SD installed on the server end.

when you discover a LUN from SD perspective, it has more control over that LUN rather than jus throwing out from Filer prespective
