Hello I have tried scanning a source share for an NFS export without options and it works without problems. However if I try creating an index like this:   scan -loglevel DEBUG -newid scanindex1 source.nfs.server:/share it progresses until some point (usually somewhere around 400K and then just endlessly loops through retries   404,246 scanned, 14 retries, 77.4 MiB in (0/s), 3.28 MiB out (0/s), 1m12s   Every once in a while a message like this appears   xcp: Reopener (19128 isChild False) '192.16.199.2 tcp 2049 nfs3 c0': WARNING: reconnecting... 22 pending requests xcp: Reopener (19128 isChild False) '192.16.199.2 tcp 2049 nfs3 c0': WARNING: reconnected in 0.030s after 1 try during 0s   The address 192.16.199.2 is the server where the catalog share resides and also the target storage FAS8300. I can mount the catalogue share and I also see that my catalog ID is created there with all kinds of files but they are all empty.   Can anyone help me with this. It also happens when I try to copy and it makes the XCP tool unfortunately completely unusable. I used the old version 1.4 before without any problems, but this new version appears to work differently.   Thanks in advance ... View more

FAS8040 CDOT 8.2.2, 10 GBe, Windows Server 2012 R2.   We are currently working on an Exchange server deployment with a "consultant". To put it bluntly, these guys can't answer a simple question about a key piece of the puzzle, the fabric from the hosts to the storage.   Building an iSCSI design using a single subnet and dedicated NICs on the servers. The NetApp side is configured properly, using LACP LIFs, creating two target IP addresses.   I initially tried to set this up using a single subnet and MPIO, with dual NICs not teamed (each NIC was standalone on the same subnet). Ex. NetApp Targets: LIF1: 192.168.110.180, LIF2: 192.168.110.181 Windows NICs: NIC1: 192.168.110.235, NIC2: 192.168.110.237   The world I come from I'm used to using two separate subnets, so 192.168.110.180, 192.168.111.180 as an example.   With the config intially setup, if I disable a port on the switch (or unplug the cable) there is a 30 second timeout before Windows flips over to use the other NIC. So, even though MPIO is setup properly, we still need to wait for Windows to flip to use the other NIC. To me this config doesn't have 2 active paths, but rather one active and one standby. The 30 second convergence time on the Windows host is what I'm trying to solve. This timeout only occurs when simulating a NIC failure on the Windows Server.   I haven't found a design document which discusses this exact config, using a single subnet without teaming, which is why I'm coming to the forum. I'm still waiting for the consultant to come back with what their client's have done, but that was weeks ago.   Now, I can reconfigure this as LACP or I can configure this to use two subnets. But I'd also like to find out what this consultant is talking about to see if they are even on the right track and there is just a small piece missing.    So, LACP will solve this problem I would assume, however I just want to see if anyone else has built a design like this to see if there is just something I'm missing. It's rather disappointing that our consultants recommend a design they can't even explain why it was recommended, nor can they provide any information on how to build out the fabric to our Windows hosts.   Thanks in advance. ...

Hey Techies ,   I have created a cifs share with default permission  of user/group -Everyone with FUll control . but then i see that i can access the folder but unable to write anything in the folder . Volume 's security style is mixed type.   Deets - Created a vol1 of mixed security-style Created a export-policy rules and applied to the vol1 Created a cifs share on vol1 , and created ACL's on it . I am not able to understand where i am going wrong .because vol1 is accessible but unable to write.   Can someone help me here to get this fixed . I am using -NetApp Release 9.8RC1    Thanks in advance   ... View more

Hi, I've setup export policy like in printout on the bottom. When I mount on a client all root created files are owned by nobody user and group. Can this be changed to be listed as "root" owned? If I choose nfsv3 then this works as I want.   Regards   ClusterT::vserver security file-directory> vserver export-policy rule show -vserver SVM_xxxx -policyname Vol_xxxx -instance Vserver: SVM_xxxx Policy Name: Vol_xxxx Rule Index: 4 Access Protocol: nfs4 List of Client Match Hostnames, IP Addresses, Netgroups, or Domains: 10.xx.yy.zz RO Access Rule: sys RW Access Rule: sys User ID To Which Anonymous Users Are Mapped: 65534 Superuser Security Types: any Honor SetUID Bits in SETATTR: true Allow Creation of Devices: true ...

Hi, is anyone using Volume(NVE) or Aggregate(NAE) encryption on their ontap selects? I can't find any documentation regarding this. I can see that the commands are available in the CLI.   Any links to documentation or examples very welcome.   thanks ... View more
