Clustered ONTAP sim and vol0 going full

[korns]

I've been using an 8.1.1 2-node VSIM for several months. Every few weeks I am faced with vol0 filling up. I've shutdown snapshots on vol0, disabled autosupport and when it happens I go into /mroot/etc/log and delete rotated log files and /autosupport files. I'll note that the ASUP files keep getting generated even though I've disabled asup.

Has anyone else encountered this and come up with a better strategy to deal with the issue?

From my experience with ontap 7 and 8 the vol0 size requirement is increasing so just increase the vol0 size.

Yes, I've increased my vol0 and aggr0. I think I've got quadruple the space now (4 data disks in aggr0 instead of the deafult of 1). But I suspect I've just pushed out the time when vol0 will fill up again with log files. On a normal system that runs 24x7 I presume log file rotation logic kicks in (midnight?) and keeps things trimmed. On a laptop based simulator environment the laptop is probably in my bag at midnight. That's why I'm looking for ways to deal with the issue.

I have the same problem.

If you login as diag and check out the /mroot directory you will find that there are three areas where alot of capacity is concentrated. With "du -sk *" you can search for these areas. This involves the autosupport , mlog and stats directory. Removing older files here will free up space dramatically. 🙂

Hi,

     I have configured the cluster mode (ip-43) with 2 nodes (IP-44 & 45) successfully. i have provided one IP(50) for SVM and  network interface IP is 51. I have successfully opened the share folder with IP-50 & 51 but when i try to open the share folder with cluster IP(43) or 2 nodes IPs (44 and 45) then it can not be opened. All IPs ping properly.

Please tell me the concept of open share folder.

Th cluster management and node management IP addresses are for management only. Only data lifs belonging to the SVM can be used for data access, and they can only access data on that SVM.

Hi shatfield,

                     Thanks for your reply,this info help alot.

Hi,

      I have a cluster mode configuration with 2 nodes

1). In which vs1 is SVM name and Ip(42) is the main ip of the SMV for node1 and IP(201) is for node2

Interface Name                    IP                                 Current Port 

vs1_cifs_lif1                         42                                Cluster1- 01:e0c

vs1_cifs_lif2                         201                              Cluster1- 02:e0c

2)  I  have created 2 aggregates, Agg1 connected with node1(cluster1- 01 )and Agg2 connected with node2 (cluster1- 02)

Aggregate Name                 Node         

Agg1                                  Cluster1- 01

Agg2                                  Cluster1- 02

3) In which  created 2 Volumes and connected with different aggregates

Volume Name                     Aggregate       

vol1_node1                        Agg1

vol2_node2                        Agg2

4) In which created 2 share folders with different path according to nodes

Share Name                       Path              

Share1_node1                   /vol1_node1

Share1_node2                   /vol2_node2

Is it possible when open the share folder with svm IP(42) then open both folders (Share1_node1 and Share2_node2) but when open share folder with IP(201) then open only on share folder (Share2_node2)

Please tell me the concept of cluster mode,how it works and exact working of share folder.

Iam also facing the same problem if u find any solution please revert me.
