optimize SnapshotReserve?

I want to optimize the available snapshot space on my volumes.

Filesystem                        total         used         avail capacity  Mounted on
/vol/vol33b/                    720GB      700GB       19GB       97%  /vol/vol33b/
/vol/vol33b/.snapshot      252GB      240GB       12GB       95%  /vol/vol33b/.snapshot

To calculate the used snapshot space I tried:

Get-NaSnapshotReclaimable -Snapshots ( Get-NaSnapshot vol33b ).

But this  lasts more than five minutes for 90 snapshots (to get the value 240GB).

Is there a better way to solve this?

There's always a better way to skin the cat in PowerShell:

(Get-NaSnapshot vol0 | measure -Maximum CumulativeTotal).Maximum / 1KB

If you're trying to get all of the used Snapshot space as indicated by the df command, you can use the "CumulativeTotal" field on the last snapshot for the volume:

(Get-NaSnapshot vol0 | select -last 1).CumulativeTotal / 1KB

I'm not 100% sure they will always be in the right order, so you could do something like this:

(Get-NaSnapshot vol0 | sort CumulativeTotal | select -Last 1).CumulativeTotal /1KB

obviously the "/ 1KB" isn't really needed, it just gets you the same number of KB as the df command.

Hope that helps!

Is the cumulative total supposed to be exact, or a close estimation?  Using either of the above examples on my larger volumes (10.5 - 11.5 TB), the cumulative total for snapshots is off by 100-200GB from the df command.

ControllerName> df -g VolName3
Filesystem                    total       used      avail capacity  Mounted on
/vol/VolName3/              11776GB     6550GB     5225GB      56%  /vol/VolName3/
/vol/VolName3/.snapshot         0GB      257GB        0GB     ---%  /vol/VolName3/.snapshot


(Get-NaSnapshot VolName3 -controller $ControllerName | sort CumulativeTotal | select -Last 1)


Name                                               Created      Total Cumulative Dependency
----                                               -------      ----- ---------- ----------

That's curious.  Can you post the output of "Get-NaSnapshot VolName3" ?  Also do you have dedupe enabled on that volume?

Thanks!

Thanks, for the snap list.  What about dedupe?  Can you post the output of "Get-NaSis VolName3 | fl *" (assuming it's enabled)?

Ahh, sorry.  No on dedupe.

This is a bit mysterious.  I've had a few interesting conversations about this, but can't reproduce the problem.  I do have one system that is off by a few kb, but nothing as drastic as you are seeing.

Can you give me a little more info?

  • ONTAP version (shows up as "NetApp Release" after Connect-NaController)
  • output of "snap list VolName3" on the controller (or use Invoke-NaSsh)
  • output of "df -S" on the controller (be sure to use capital "S")

Thanks again!

Just a few things to note that might make a difference.  These are larger volumes (11TB), we have snap reserve set to 0 so snapshots "spill over" into "normal" storage, and the maxfiles for this volume is set to 237189720 (we have lots of small files)

When I do this on smaller volumes on the same filer, I get accurate results.

Thanks again for getting back with more information.  It looks like the "snap list" percentages match up with values from the Get-NaSnapshot cmdlet (accounting for rounding error) and not with the df numbers.

Unfortunately I can't really say why ONTAP is reporting different values for df vs. snap list or what the difference might be.  I'm also not sure which is more accurate for what you are trying to accomplish.  The DataONTAP toolkit is correctly reporting the numbers returned by the ONTAP "snapshot-list-info" ZAPI.   So at this point, if this is information that you really need, I'd recommend getting in touch with NetApp Global Support.  I'd suggest referring to the CLI commands first, and that the toolkit is simply invoking "snapshot-list-info" and reporting the "cumulative-total" in the response.  Feel free to give them my name for additional info.

Please try this:

Get-NaSnapshotReclaimable -controller $ControllerName VolName3 -Snapshots ( Get-NaSnapshot -controller $ControllerName VolName3 )

this lasts a view minutes...

I moved away from this project but I'm back at it.  I attempted to get the data you requested, however, knowing that snap reclaimable is a long process and not wanting to burden my filer, I did the following...

Get-NaSnapshotReclaimable -controller $ControllerName VolName3 -Snapshots ( Get-NaSnapshot -controller $ControllerName VolName3 | sort Cumulative | select -last 1)

After a few moments, this yielded the following error...

Get-NaSnapshotReclaimable : Could not connect to 10.10.10.10 on port 80 for protocol HTTP.
At line:1 char:26
+ Get-NaSnapshotReclaimable <<<<  -controller $ControllerName VolName3 -Snapshots ( Get-NaSnapshot -controller $ControllerName VolName3 | sort Cumulative | select -last 1)
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (10.10.10.10:NaController) [Get-NaSnapshotReclaimable], NaConnectionException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ApiException,DataONTAP.PowerShell.SDK.Cmdlets.Snapshot.GetNaSnapshotReclaimable

Note, that any other command issued is working fine using the same $ControllerName Connect-NaController object.

I also found that immediately after issuing this command, my filer CPU went to 99%, and CIFS operations dropped dramatically (CIFS is the only filer access protocol we are using).  In fact, causing filer performance issues and triggering a couple of alerts.  Filer performance returned to normal in fairly short order, but I won't be issuing that again.

I plan on contacting Netapp support to see why this is having such a negative impact on my filer.  It would be helpful to be able to relay what is actually being submitted to the filer from this command.  Any input?

Get-NaSnapshotReclaimable : Could not connect to 10.10.10.10 on port 80 for protocol HTTP.

It sounds like the cmdlet timed out.  The default is 10 seconds, but you can change that value anytime on the controller object you get back from Connect-NaController.

Just tell 'em what API we're calling:
