I don't know if it would matter or no, but maybe look to see if there are general stats jobs running: statistics samples show

Could you provide the interface configuration settings? Showing which interfaces have what IPs, etc.

rwelshman · ‎2015-03-27

maybe try "job show" ?

For clarification, the two server nodes - have you ever been able to attach shared disks to both of them? Are the disk you are trying to connect to node B already on node A? When you connected the disk to one node, did you select that it would be clustered and not dedicated? Are you able to connect any disk to Node B from the filer?

NetApp only knows when a block has been modified, it doesn't know if it was deleted by Vmware. So what Vmware see is the actual available space within the LUN. Do you have any snapshots on the volume? Because that will also skew the usage that you see on the NetApp side.

If you have NetApp Balance or Insight, it can plug into vmware and pull out information to that level. Or if you have Vmware Ops Manager, you should be able to find any heavy IO VMs. Otherwise, you can see the VMs using the datastore in the datastore view and then check for activity on the VM, high CPU tends to follow high IO although not 100%.

If you are running SnapDrive / SnapManager on the Exchange servers, it is important to confirm that the new version of Data OnTap will work with the versions installed - and if not, update those softwares first. Otherwise, the data won't change for Exchange, so the impact is minimal. If possible I would update the filer with the least impacting Exchange DBs just to be on the safe side.

You can view the abiliities of a role using the "useradmin role list" command. You may want to create a new role that only contains the needed attributes for the commands you would want to run, then assign that role to a user account.

rwelshman · ‎2015-02-17

Just guessing here, but you may have to provide that it is GB or MB or KB as well as the number value of the size.

What is the snapshot schedule for that volume? The snapshots will be automatically removed based on that schedule, so if the sechedule isn't set for 2 weeks, you won't be able to recover from then. Unless you have that volume being snapvaulted or snapshots sent to tape through a backup software.

You would have to use an Operations Manager report, powershell script (from Windows) or a unix shell script from a unix server. You can't run a script directly on the filer itself.

Is DPServices the mount point or a directory under the mount point in the volume?

rwelshman · ‎2015-02-11

There is a commandlet reference guide available for snapdrive for windows - if you want to use powershell. If you want to use the sdcli command line, there is a section in the Administration Guide For SAN Environments (SnapDrive for Windows).

The onboard ports would need to be set as initiator ports to use with disk shelves. They should be able to be either target or intiiator - although some models limit this. I've had a look to see if I can find documentation either way but couldn't see anything at the moment. Probably be easier to just give it a try.

rwelshman · ‎2015-02-10

yup

Every filer has to have a system vol (vol0) and the aggregate must have at least 3 disks. So filer2 would have to have 3 disks / one volume. Even if it is only going to be used as a "passive" failover node. The size of the aggregate depends on the filer model and whether you are using 32-bit or 64-bit aggregates, you can find the maximums in the details about the hardware and data on tap versions manuals. The aggregate should only be SATA or SAS disks, not mized. You can create an aggr of SSDs, or use hybrid aggregates to mix SSD / SATA or SSD / SAS, but the SSD would be used as cache only in that situation. The IOPS available in an aggregate is over all disks in all raid groups in that aggregate as the data is written to any and all raid groups for all volumes in that aggregate. So the more disks you can put in a single aggregate the better performance you can get for the volumes in that aggregate.

rwelshman · ‎2015-02-10

Unfortunately you can't remove disks from an aggregate - or move them between raid groups. You can add new spare disks to an existing raid group. When you change the size of the raid group in an aggregate, existing raid groups can now be grown to that size but the raid group would have to manually specified in the aggr add command to get the new disks. All newly created raid groups in that aggregate will have the new size.

How is the volume mounted? What are you trying to change ownerhip of (file / folder)?

rwelshman · ‎2015-02-10

The snapdrive commands can all be run on the command line using "sdcli". You can create a script / batch file using that to automate the process.

There is an aggregate assigned to the Vserver, what I would like to see in that data vserver is the available spae in the aggregate - is that possible? In 7-mode, I would run "df -g volume" then "df -Ag aggr" to make sure there was room before I expanded. In C-mode, I can see the size of my volume in the data vserver, but I can't find the command to see the size of that volume's aggregate.

rwelshman · ‎2015-01-26

I know I can find the aggregate name and I can find the size of the aggregate from the cluster admin level / node vserver. I am imaging myself as being a vserver admin only and logging into my data vserver and wanting to increase my volume. How do I know how much free space is in the aggregate?

rwelshman · ‎2015-01-26

Is there a way to view the available space in an aggregate within a data vserver? If I'm going to increase or create a volume in the aggregate, I would like to know that there is enough room. Is there a field for one of the commands that shows the available / used per aggregate?

rwelshman · ‎2014-12-03

Yes, that TR should have the commands you'll need. At least from the point of view of generating the command to create clone of the vmdk file. The parts outside of that - of making sure the clone is good and then connecting it to another server will require a bit of creativity on your part. Not impossible to do with some help from the Vmware PowerCLI command set.

rwelshman · ‎2014-12-03

Are you running 7-mode or CDOT? Is the current process using a SnapManager tool or CLI?

rwelshman · ‎2014-12-03

You can make a flexclone of a file - I'm not sure if that can be done through the VSC tool or if it would need to be done via command line. There might need to be some extra coordination to ensure the activitiy on that vmdk disk is quiesced while the clone is taken.
