If its your DR copy, in my opinion it should be thin provisioned to begin with. But if you are thick provisioned, just run vol size commands

Ok, I managed to see what's going on here You need to do a few things here... I would suggest upgradeing the disk/shelf firmware prior to the upgrade process. This is NDU and really can be done at any time. Your diskqual file should be updated when you upgrade to the latest code. Remind me what code you are going to again. download the shelf firmware all_shelf_fw.zip - copy it to /software directory. software install all_shelf_fw.zip - on both controllers. From one controller issue, storage download shelf - Wait until all IOM modules are updated You can do the same with all.zip file for disks. If you aren't comfortable, you can follow the docs on the website or open a case. And you shouldn't be running any production on RC Code...

hey - I can't blow up that picture.. I can't see it.. I will try in another browser... Also, why are you running old RC code in production. That's a big no-no

Terminating cifs in that manner is not the problem. The problem I have is that this code appears to be new in the 8.2.x and we aren't used to seeing this. We find it to be a bit annoying while performing maintenance.

I'm just curious as to this new message I get when im taking over 8.2.1p1 .... I've never seen this before.. This must be new in 7-mode and if so, where in the documentation is this filer> cf takeover cf: CIFS is active on some of the partner's vfilers. Terminate CIFS on each of the partner vfiler to proceed further. filer(takeover)> CIFS connections are active on the partner node. CIFS must be terminated on each vfiler on the partner node with active connections prior to giveback. Giveback was vetoed by vfiler_low_level. Giveback was vetoed by cifs. The only thing i've found is this for cDot https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196905/html/GUID-6B88F2C9-4EA4-4954-9BCA-BFE298AE28F6.html If this is new, please point to the documentation. I find it annoying to hvae to go to every vfiler and terminate cifs... Any insight would be great

Non Zero'd spares are useless... type "disk zero spares" You should be immediately updating production to a version of ontap. Are these N-series boxes thru IBM Show me sysconfig -a the following two lines Model Name: N3150 Machine Type: IBM-2857-A25 If these are N-series boxes, you need to open up a PMR with ibm and get an upgrade advisor, plus the proper code to upgrade too

Ok, Well, you are running code that is suspectible to Multi-disk panics.. I dont' know what happened b/c I haven't seen the logs.. Did you not have enough spares? How many spares do you have (aggr status -s) 8.0.2, doesn't have the code that is needed to help prevent this. The newer code does preventative copies to spares and then gracefully spares. I would recommend, once you get this fixed, to upgrade/date you netapp controllers, and update disk/shelf and disk qualification package. As for what happened, you need to pick through the messages file and see what's going on..

^^ You're in bad shape.. What version of code are you running. You lost your aggregate b/c you had a triple disk failure in a single raid-group. If these are older type drives, you either had a multi-disk panic, hit the MOOS drive issue, or failed to replace failed drives in time, by not having enough spares You need to call ibm/netapp support, and they are going to tell you to perform a wafl iron, but, there's very little chance of recovering from a triple disk failure in my opinion. I hope you are snapmirroring the data somewhere, if not you better touch up your resume if you're not able to recover

I assume that since you had a power outage, you losts disks and your aggregate became wafl inconsistent, not just the volume. right? Can you show us output from aggr status

Billy - Just a quick comment.. You are doing this - $login = connect-nccontroller $controller -credential $cred, so you don't need to do this -controller $login you should be able to just type get-ncvol you have already established a connected to the controller with your $login credentials.

Sounds like you might be a little new to netapp as well.. You can use system manager, oncommand to get a listing of your system, or if you know powershell, you can browse over the powershell forum, i've written some scripts that will do what you need, as others have as well

You can still do this.. You can create what I term as a monitoring policy, where the relationships are still controlled at the filer level but you create a dataset in ocum with no actions, but just monitor lag. Fairly straightforward
