Hi!

 

What kind of protocol You use for presenting the LUN to MSSQL server hardware? iSCSI or FC?

 

Which version of OnTAP You have?

 

What kind of issue have Your SQL team?

Hi @DaemonFF

 

We are using FC protocol to allocate this LUN to server.

 

Ontap version is 8.1.3

 

Issue : The database is got correcpted frequently. When they moved to physical hard disk on server its working but when they moved it back to storage lun again its correpted.

 

Application : We are using this Database for solar winds (Private server monitoring tool for our company).

Hi.

 

Just saw that post randomly and got the light-bulb on. we had a few unexplained corruption on our SolarWinds as well!

i'm going to try and migrate it to our other vendor All Flash storage and see if  it stops...

 

Our environment (if it helps to isolate your case):  8.1.4p2 7Mode, ISCSI, NetApp MPIO Host Util 6.02, SolarWinds Orion Platform 2016.2.100,   SQL Cluster 2012SP3CU4, On Windows 2012

Hi @GidonMarcus

 

We have to find the RCA and resolution why it is happening in NetApp. I don't see any issues with other luns. I am facing this issue with perticular lun only.

Same here. This Filer served dozens of SQL instances in this configuration without any corruptions issues before. Gladly we now migrating off so I will just bring the date forward for that cluster. as you still require to use it, I would have open a case with MSFT to find out the exact place and cause of corruption, if it’s legit the storage should have coop with it. If it’s not legit, should have been stopped in SQL itself….

 

I would have also leave the storage for last, as you’re on end-of-engineering support of NetApp anyway….

Iv'e  asked our DBA to try and find me the table name for you to have more exact match. Hopefully will have it shortly.

I think there is a problem with application itself.

Hello!

 

It seems to me the issue is SQL software layer, not NetApp. The first error message indicate the inconsistent between clustered (HA) nodes of MSSQL server. When your SQL team tring to move data on local HDD, DB works in non-HA environment and it has no errors.

 

Try to run DB on FC-attached disks but without SQL HA.

You need to upgrade your OnTAP software to latest version - now 8.2.4P6 is actually. (Don't forget about licenses change!)
