I would say that's virtually impossible, since it's a volume based mirror. I looked at your screenshot and i'm as perplexed as you are. Show me the snapmirror relationship for the volume and snap list for each volume

There's nothing wrong with that. I'm tired of all the paper certs out there taking the real jobs of people that work hard. I'm very active on this board and I see the questions that are asked from certified people. The only gripe I have is more practical questions, thats all I do not advocate to point to pages, that is just making our cert a paper cert. And I don't want that

First, if you are on 8.0, I would recommend an upgrade to 8.2.x for 7-mode. If you require custom snapshot naming you have to use an outside process, ssh script, powershell etc... There is no way to do this at the CLI

If you are going ot support this, you are going to need to do some training. On the forum, we cannot be expected set this up from the beginning. that is why there are channel partners out there. Google, snapmirror help on cdot.

Ok, let's assume this is CDOT, and from the questions it doesn't look like you have any experience with Netapp. Take a look at this - http://www.netapp.com/us/media/tr-4015.pdf and then you shoudl also get more familiar with Netapp by using the WBT

An SVM is a logical construct. You and your management need to determine what your failure domain would be. IMHO, you have way more to go. 1 TB is nothing. We have 5000+ users

It needs access to just about every API, so creating a role would be futile and a waste of time and effort. Just create a domain service account and add it. That's common practice. If you want to break out the roles, it will take you a really long time and you will just get frustraded. I manage 7-mode controllers that number in the 3 digits this way. Just ensure service account password is under lock and key

Upgrade to 8.3.1 and use SVM-DR.. And in 8.4 it's going to be all like 7-mode vfiler. I wouldn't waste your time writing powershell scripts if it's essentially all done. What i've done in the past is use identity preserve mode and then have custom workflow to add the right lif and remove the other one

With that small of a filer, why would you have a data and os aggr. You need to combine them.. In 7-mode there isn't an issue unless you tax the system.

^^ Unless i'm reading this wrong, I don't think that's what he's asking for.. You want to know how to add $ to the end of a share before you create it so it's hidden, right?

You cannot upgrade from 7-mode to cDOT. You need to acquire new gear, swing gear to migrate. I suggest you run the 7mTT to see if you can go to cDOT I suggest you contact your partner/netapp for this discussion

^^ Ok, I will admit I hate the implementation of powershell for cDOT. I'm a huge fan of powershell on 7-mode, beening using it heavily since 7-mode v1.0. (Check my post archives) In my mind, invoke-ncssh is a "patch" on how to run an SSH command. These should all be done via API with powershell. There is no reason on my mind we shouldn't be able to do this get-ncnetinterface | ? {$_.interfacename -eq "blah"} | set-ncnetinterfacen -interfacename "newblah" I might be ranting a little, but this is my opinion and i'm pretty strong on this.

Anything can be done in powershell. The issue is that there is truly no ZERO volume b/c when you create a volume there is a small amount of data on the volume. You can query for all volumes with size less than x and then go from there.

^^ One more point, since its a cascade and you will be using the VSM snap, your VSM's will not happen while the snapvault transfer is happening
... View more
This is fairly simple at this point. Have you read the snapvault best practice guide TR-3487? You need to use the mirror snapshot from the SM as the easiest. I assume you are using protection manager (I advise against)
