Data Backup and Recovery
Data Backup and Recovery
I've think i've just hit a DataONTAP bug. Netapp 7.3.2 here. Snap list displays 0% everywhere, after several SMSAP(think SMO) snap restores from secondary (not Volume Restores but LUN restores directly in the FlexVol area), df reports this:
Filesystem total used avail capacity Mounted on
/vol/sap_XXX_sapdata/ 53GB 43GB 9GB 83% /vol/sap_XXX_sapdata/
/vol/sap_XXX_sapdata/.snapshot 0GB 19GB 0GB ---% /vol/sap_XXX_sapdata/.snapshot
LUN size is 15GB (really used is somehow ~9GB):
/vol/sap_XXX_sapdata/sapdata1/sapdata01.lun 15g (16106127360) (r/w, online, mapped)
snap list for volume:
Volume sap_XYZ_sapdata

If you take 10315488 kB and do math it is 9.837 GB since last snapshots (compared to AFS). The LUN size is 15GB, fractional_reserve=100%, LUN space reservation = enabled, snap reserve = 0%. There is 20.084 GB in snapshots, which is pretty close to what df .snapshot reports.
At least for me this is : LUN+LUN*fractional_reserve+space_used_by_snapshots= 15GB + 15GB + 20.084GB =~ 50 GB. Not sure how much of it is in fractional_reserver(BTW: how to check this?), i guess that at least: 19GB - (53GB - 43GB) = 19GB - 10GB = 9GB is in fractional_reserve, and this leaves me with 50GB-9GB = 41GB (pretty close value to the used space for Vol , as reported by df).
So why the hell snap list reports 0% everywhere? It looks like it doesn't support LUN snap restores "overwrite semantics"? Is this known "feature" ? In which version has this been patched?

OK, found those:
http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=142292
http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=237378
http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=229487
http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=248378
it looks 7.3.5 GA at minimum...
Where does 7.3.5 come from? Three of these bugs should be fixed in version you have and fourth (237378) is not fixed in any (released) version. Looks like you really hit it; even more, looks like everyone doing SFSR should see this bug. I have to check ☺
Hi,
Data ONTAP 7.3.5 (GA) - Fixed ; here http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=142292
And yes, actually it would be interesting to see adoption of those products on the market...
-Jakub.
142292 is fixed in 6.5.3H1P4 ☺
Haha, i guess you meant "fixed" I'm on 7.3.2, which was released before 7.3.5 and they backported the fix into 7.3.5 - that's how i understand it.
