You can use either smtp or http to send the autosupport to netapp. You would need to work with your internal network team to open the appropriate port to allow the autosupport to be sent to NetApp.

you can also run the snap delta command to get some more details of the amount of space being used by each snapshot with relation to the current volume usage.

Allocation of storage to client servers can be found in the user guides. In the first two situations, you would create a LUN and assign it to an igroup. The igroup would either contain WWPNs (FC) or IQN info (iSCSI). For Windows, you can either assign a LUN to the Windows server, or create a volume and put a CIFS share on it. For Unix, you can create a volume and export it to the unix server IP

As noted, can you provide us with the amount of snap reserve you have configured / size of volume / how many snapshots are currently on the volume? When you delete from the volume, the deleted content will be locked in any existing snapshots until they expire. And if the amount of deleted space is larger than the snap reserve, the difference will still show in the volume usage.

What is the exact issue you are experiencing? What version of clustered ontap are you running?

rwelshman · ‎2015-11-04

Did you confirm that there wasn't a conflicting job happening to lock the snapshots / volume during that time?

rwelshman · ‎2015-11-04

did you add a schedule into the snapmirror.conf file? or setup a schedule in DFM?

rwelshman · ‎2015-11-02

You can gather some statistics of the usage on the filer and try to determine which volume is contributing the most to the usage and investigate from there. As mentioned above sis / dedupe and replication will contribute to the CPU usage as well.

I do see a VM management tab in the subclient properties that lists some behaviour for when a VM is deleted. One option is to remove the record of it immediately from SnapProtect.

Likely you will need to call into support to get some help there. Otherwise, the node that is running - is it running 8.1.4 now or the older version? Have you done the software download portion on both nodes?

rwelshman · ‎2015-10-28

The amount of free space that you are seeing is likely the available space in the containing aggregate. You can have a volume larger than an aggregate using thin provisioning, but the amount of available space will be restricted to the max size of the aggr.

sis on - to enable sis config - to schedule sis start - to start the job right away

Can you try it in multiple browers? Also, check to see if there is a different version of System Manager available that is compatible with the newer DOT version.

I'm pretty sure that if you just specify cli-cifs without the *, the user could only use "cifs" which won't give them any results.

rwelshman · ‎2015-10-19

Version of DOT? Is http/https running on it?

rwelshman · ‎2015-10-19

no, it will allow access to the entire cifs family of commands. It is very difficult to create read-only access to the filers. They can view the shares using "computer management" on their workstation and connecting to the filer.

rwelshman · ‎2015-09-24

it ususally takes some time for the space to be reclaimed when deleting large luns / volumes, if you look on the command line of the filer, doing a df -g on the volume, do you see any decrease?

rwelshman · ‎2015-09-15

Also, your licenses should be viewable on the netapp support site.

rwelshman · ‎2015-09-15

Can you show the details of the storage policy that creates these snapshots?

rwelshman · ‎2015-09-14

Also, maybe dowload the "all current disk firmware" zip and open it to see if they packaged it in there?

rwelshman · ‎2015-09-14

That is odd, I would reach out to NetApp Support about it, looks like they haven't added it to the site (maybe overlooked? forgot?)

rwelshman · ‎2015-09-03

You use the "igroup" command set to create igroups and add initiators.

rwelshman · ‎2015-09-01

I was wondering if anyone was aware of a way to initiate a SnapProtect backup from the client itself (using the SnapProtect iDataAgent)?

rwelshman · ‎2015-08-26

Not sure the exact cause of that issue. But if you wanted, you could attempt to remove the problem destination out of the dataset. The dataset will go non-conformant and then on conformance create a new destination and sync with the source. The old destination will still be in place until you remove it after the snapshot retention time clears.

rwelshman · ‎2015-08-26

Not exactly in that way, but the data is restorable from the vault. It would depend on how much data you are looking to recover (a few files or the whole volume). But the idea behind SnapVault is that you can reduce the number of snapshots you keep on the primary filer as the snapshot'ed data will be available on the secondary filer (the vault). You can't add a snaphot back on the source volume, but you can recover the data that was in that snapshot.
