Clustered ONTAP sim and vol0 going full

korns · ‎2013-02-19

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.

Regards

mark

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.
