I'm looking for a QA checklist to verify the installation of Clustered Ontap. I've asked NetApp PS, nothing at this point, they will be doing the installation.

I suggest a single mode VIF for the second level VIF. I believe that if you use multi or LACP Ontap will use both of them. If you want the filer to use one or the other VIF use single mode and favor the one you want. I believe that LACP should only be used with switches that support that, not sure it would work between two VIFs.

We have been running OSSV for years. We started having lots of problem when weupgraded to Ontap 8.0.2P6 from 7.3. It works some of the time. We sent NetApp lots of traces from various sites, no resolution to the problem. Not sure if we did something wrong or something change in Ontap 8.0.

Thanks, this is very useful. If you have any links that document this and/or have examples that would be great. WFA documents seem to be very limited.

Thanks, I was hoping NetApp provided an API, so that we can call it from PERL programs. We spent thousands of man hours to develop automation on 7 mode. We want to start using WFA for 7Mode and CMode

The big change it's NC instead of NA (get-na vs get-nc), a lot of the fields have changes and you have to pass more information such as VSERVER. It would be nice to see what the differences are in one document but I don't think you will ever see it. I believe that there will be a lot more changes in 8.2 so your API fields will change again. I'm just re-writing my programs again, too many changes.

I wouldn't use nextavail, our 10G were failing over to 1G connection that was not in use or setup. You should setup failover groups to avoid this problem.

They could be held in the snapshot space. If you delete the snapshot it takes time to complete the delete, it's considered a background task, check back in a few hours (depending what else is going on).

Not sure if this helps: Obtain XAID application identifer from Bycast X-BYC-XAID Identifies the external application that stored the object. Every application receives a unique External Application Identifier (XAID) from Bycast as part of the formal integration process. When an application stores an object it should always store its XAID identifier as part of the custom metadata stored with the object. This permits an application to only see its own objects by adding the XAID as a query field when performing metadata queries on a grid that is shared with other applications. CSTR data type Optional # XAID is a predefined metadata tag

Is your e0M IP address on the same subnet as your RLM/SP? (x.y.z.123/4 for example), it's one cable so you can't use any IP. Check options interface.blocked.mgmt_data_traffic. As stated check your route, do a traceroute from the controller to the IP that is trying to access your e0M IP address, make sure it routes over e0M IP address.

You can configure connect-nacontroller how you want to connect to the controller, I believe the default is HTTPS (secureadmin setup ssl). From a powershell command line issue a Import-Module DataONTAP command, then do a connect-nacontroller filername -cred username -HTTP, then see what happens. Options Connect-NaController [-Name] <String> [-Port <UInt16>] [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-HTTPS] [-HTTP] [-RPC] [-Transient] [-Vfiler <String>] [-Timeout <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>] DESCRIPTION Establish a connection to a Data ONTAP storage controller. Unless 'Transient' is true, this connection is saved in the global variable CurrentNaController. All other cmdlets in the Data ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit utilize this global variable if their 'Controller' parameter is not explicitly provided. Connections are established using RPC by default. To use HTTPS (with automatic fallback to HTTP), supply the Credential parameter (see examples) or save credentials in the Toolk it credentials cache. Use the RPC/HTTP/HTTPS parameters to limit connections to a specific protocol.

Did you mean to define two igrp's with vif1? ifgrp create lacp vif1 -b ip e0a e0b ifgrp create lacp vif1 -b ip e0c e0d Best practice is to use A and C ports in one vif and B and D in another. The A&B ports share a ASIC chip, the same is true for the C&D ports..
