Dear Community,   since we have updated some of our systems (FAS82xx, AFF A300) to Ontap 9.3P7, we see the following Errors in Messages for our (UTA2) 10GBit LAN-Ports, which have not been here before the update. 10/16/2018 11:04:14 <Filer>-<node>   ALERT         vifmgr.cluscheck.crcerrors: Port e0g on node <Filer>-<Node> is reporting a high number of observed hardware errors, possibly CRC errors.   ifstat shows TotalErrors (increasing) and Errors/Minute but no CRC-Errors -- interface  e0g  (1 hour, 42 minutes, 32 seconds) -- RECEIVE  Total frames:    56798k | Frames/second:    9233  | Total bytes:       178g  Bytes/second:    28949k | Total errors:     1337  | Errors/minute:      13  Total discards:      2  | Discards/minute:     0  | Multi/broadcast: 31503  Non-primary u/c:     0  | CRC errors:          0  | Runt frames:        18  Fragment:            0  | Long frames:      1319  | Alignment errors:    0  No buffer:           2  | Pause:               0  | Jumbo:               0  Noproto:           105  | Bus overruns:        0  | LRO segments:    50798k  LRO bytes:         174g | LRO6 segments:       0  | LRO6 bytes:          0  Bad UDP cksum:       0  | Bad UDP6 cksum:      0  | Bad TCP cksum:       0  Bad TCP6 cksum:      0  | Mcast v6 solicit:    0 TRANSMIT  Total frames:    16298k | Frames/second:    2649  | Total bytes:     11749m  Bytes/second:     1909k | Total errors:        0  | Errors/minute:       0  Multi/broadcast:   605  | Pause:               0  | Jumbo:            6655k  Cfg Up to Downs:     0  | TSO non-TCP drop:    0  | Split hdr drop:      0  Timeout:             0  | TSO segments:      840k | TSO bytes:        9910m  TSO6 segments:       0  | TSO6 bytes:          0  | HW UDP cksums:       0  HW UDP6 cksums:      0  | HW TCP cksums:       0  | HW TCP6 cksums:      0  Mcast v6 solicit:    0 DEVICE  Mcast addresses:     4  | Rx MBuf Sz:       4096 LINK INFO  Speed:           10000m | Duplex:            full | Flowcontrol:       none  Media state:     active | Up to downs:          2   From my feeling it looks like a BUG in Data Ontap 9.3P7 (Error in their Portstats, ...), as we dont find any matching Errors in our Network infrastructure. Also no impact seen to the systems. I already opened a support Case, but uptonow they cannot match this to an existing BUG, as 9.3P7 should have fixed all issues regarding this problem.   So timeconsuming debugging on customer site must be done to find the root-cause 😞     So the Question to the community: Anybody  seen this Errors on Ontap 9.3P7?   Best Regards, Klaus ...

Hi everyone, I have the strangest behaviour on a V-series appliance.   First some introduction to my infrastructure setup is in order. I have an old SUSE 9 server which is a client for NFS shares on a FAS2020 appliance. This appliance is being retired and the shares are moved to a new V-series Netapp appliance. The majority of the content of the shares I have copied via SMB and a third party server onto the new appliance.   I have then mounted the new NFS shares onto the SUSE server and reading and writing to the mounts is working with no issues ... except when I want to copy certain XML files that have been generated by our ERP system. Strange thing is most of the XML files I can copy with no issue, only copying certain XML files hangs. What is worse the whole mount then hangs too i.e. the whole ERP/finance system hangs. The server itself remains fully manageable but disk IO operations hang. I can recover the system by forcibly unmounting the NFS share but the copy process does not finish/ finishes with errors.    I have blamed this behaviour on a firewall but I was proven an idiot by the network guys as the issue persists even when the server and the appliance are directly connected (no firewall inbetween).   I even did a network sniff on the issue (see attached picture) and it shows that the NETAPP is refusing to service the write request, which just ends in retransmissions for eternity... thus a hang.   The strange thing is ... the whole process works and has worked for a decade now on the old FAS2020 appliance.   Both appliances are being accessed via NFS v3... so no difference there.   I would be grateful for any help at this point!   Oh and I have forgotten to mention this experiment that I performed. I have tried zipping the XML files and then copying them onto the NFS share ... works with no problem. Unzipping the files straight to the new destination ... hangs!   I guess the V-series appliance just hates the content of my XML files.       ... View more
