I know DFM has it under physical or try statit. FY: The first disk in the RG will show much busier than other disks in the RG, according to NetApp this is normal. Output from statit -b, sleep for 2 min, then statis -e disk ut% xfers ureads--chain-usecs writes--chain-usecs cpreads-chain-usecs greads--chain-usecs gwrites-chain-usecs /aggr0/plex0/rg0: 0a.16 4 7.34 0.34 1.00 12000 4.26 10.64 955 2.73 4.63 1135 0.00 .... . 0.00 ... .

I believe the only way to change it, reboot the filer, get in maintenance mode, you will presented with a list, one of them is reset root password. You should be connected to the serial port.

I know you can get two different switches for CDOT/CMODE, NetApp CN6010 and CISCO Nexus 5596. I want know where I can the MIBs for these. I would like to find the manual for the CN6010, I know the customer should not make changes but I still need to look up information.

Since you have 4 cards in the controller you can use (assuming 3 stacks are on the A controller and 3 stacks are on controller B), you can connect them like this: (I assume stacks 1-3 are assigned to controller A and stack 4-6 are assigned to controller B) 1a/3a stack1 1b/3b stack2 1c/3c stack3 4a/11a stack 4 4b/11b stack 5 4c/11c stack 6 You can't use 1d/1c on stack for two reasons, same ASIC and what would happen if card in slot 1 failed. If you have any any stacks were the primary port on the shelf if the same such as: PRIMARY PORT SECONDARY PORT SHELF BAY -------- ---- --------- ---- --------- 2a.06.0 A 1a.06.0 A 6 0 You should be able switch the cables on the last shelf in stack to correct this problem. It would be better to do this doing downtime, it shouldn't cause any down time, after each change check it. Once you get the disk stacks connected properly: PRIMARY PORT SECONDARY PORT SHELF BAY -------- ---- --------- ---- --------- 2a.06.0 B 1a.06.0 A 6 0 Once you get the disk stacks connected properly first, you should be able to move the connections on the controller. You might want to do at separate times. You should do this during a scheduled downtime and let your end users know that an outage is possible. I would consider using NetApp Professional Services to plan and do this, six stacks is a lot to take on, if you make a mistake or something else goes wrong while you are doing this you could lose data. You could take down the cluster, boot in maintenance mode, make the changes and check it in maintenance to be safe. This will allow you check it with "storage show disk -p" and "aggr status -r". Lots of planning, verify and verify again to be sure.

You got it. I would use the same controller ports, Controller 1 connects to stack 1 A IN on controller port 1a and B out would be port 3a on controller 1. Controller 2 would connect to stack 1 A OUT on 1a and port 3a for B IN on the last shelf of the stack 1. To verify this storage show disk -p on both controllers, during downtime you should be able to pull module A on shelf 1 stack 1 and both systems should stay up, you will see errors messages after a few minutes. Re-insert the module after a few minutes and check the MPHA again.

I know people at NetApp struggled with MPHA at first; the concept is difficult to understand at first, once you have worked with it for a while it will make sense. The link you have is about the best explanation you will find; the diagrams are very good at the end of the article. The old shelves had IN/OUT on the modules; they changed at some point to arrows. If you send me you layout I might be able to help more. Let me know the type of modules you are using in each stack. We have a lot of equipment onsite, I can send pictures if that helps. You can always get NetApp PS services to help you with this, I'm sure they will charge for this.

I would name node by the HA pair, 1a/1b and 2a/2b. I think that the node name should be in the aggr name. If you have a system with different type of drives I think adding the type would be useful for administration (ssd/scsi/sata). I'm sure the information is there in the display but sometime it's easier to have the this information there for admin. Just my 2 cents.

For 7mode, Get-NaNfsExport [[-Path] <String>] [-Persistent] [-Controller <NaController>] [<CommonParameters>] or you use cli, exportfs -q /vol/xxx.

Once you verify MPHA you should be able to move cables without down time. Do it slowly, one cable at a time then make sure everything is working before moving another cable, storage show disk -p before each move.

You are looking for the A&B modules of the disk shelf. I don't understand what you mean by C&B. For example: PRIMARY PORT SECONDARY PORT SHELF BAY -------- ---- --------- ---- --------- 4a.24.0 B 3a.24.0 A 24 0 4a.24.1 B 3a.24.1 A 24 1 4a.24.2 B 3a.24.2 A 24 2 In this example B module is the primary and A is the secondary.

I wanted something that this community can look at and change for each site's different requirements. The more people that have input to this can only improve it and help cut the calls to support. NetApp published before why not now? Before PS came onsite to setup a HA pair the customer knew exactly what they would be doing and what wasn't covered as part of the installation.

Keep in mind that most cards (including the onboard ports) have one ASIC chip for two ports, you shouldn't use A&B or C&B ports from the same card on one controller. You might find easier to cable them using same port such on two different cards, for example 1a/3a, 4a/11a partner could be 1b/3b, 4b/11b. You have a lot of choices.

I asked the project manager and the PS staff assigned for this project, they don’t have it which is the reason why I posted on the community.

That site is not available to me. Are you giving me sites that customers can access. It appears all the sites are for internal use only. I want to know exactly what PS does in the setup and what they check/QA before they leave the site. I know that the PSE's had a document that told the customer exactly what they were going to do to help set the customer expection.
