You're stuck my man. First, you need to zero the spares (disk zero spares) Now, I know why the guy who set this up left, he has no clue what he was doing. I'm counting 18 x sata 6 ssd's That looks like it's in your internal filer then you added a shelf for SAS and you have 12 SAS drives What i would do is roll up aggr0 into the sas aggr, (moving root volume , etc..) Destroy aggr0, and zero spares, and then move one spare to the other node Therefore, aggr0 on the other side is raid4 with one spare. (should be using raid-dp, but your stuck) Also you are burning SSD drives with no use, maybe try to swap two of them out, since you only need one spare for your flashpool. But, i would call netapp support to verify, don't take just my word for it

Vfilers are the easiest thing and people should be using them. You should look at creating a vfiler and then setup a dr-vfiler for DR. You will need downtime and swing everything to a vfiler and either use CNAME or move the DNS records to them

I'm trying to figure how you got yourself into this pickle.. You got a little mess on your hands.. It looks like you have three types of disk in this filer, SSD, SAS and SATA. You have aggr0 as raid-4, with such a small system, you might have wanted to spec this filer differently You essentially have only spare of each drive and you aren't balanced properly across the cluster. You should slap your netapp sales rep for specing this system like this.

Sorry, wish I could be more helpful, but yo uare literally working on SUPER old technology. Going to a 2040 from a FAS 270 .. God, I don't want to be in your shoes.. Plus you are still running 7.2.x.. ugg.. But, if this needs to exist, you need to work through the compliance piece, are you running snaplock enterprise or complaince mode, Also, You can snapmirror do a non compliance volume and robocopy will work for your subset and then set your compliance up My heart feels for you man...

Wow, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes.. You're going from a 9 year old box to a 5 year old box. What OS is on this box? Also, what is the snaplock policy on the data? Does the new 2040 have drives that are snaplocked aggregates? If so, they are useless if you don't need snaplock

^^ This is a good find.. I See that part of it was fixed in 8.1.4, but the other bug is scheduled to be fixed. http://support.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=798842 in later releases....

That will not work. Fractional_reserve is part of the name property. Also, why are you dumping volumes from a file? I don't see you connecting to a controller either.. How you are planning on executing this, That will determine how we can assist. For example, what I would do $hosts = gc c:\temp\filers.txt # list of filers $hosts | % { $Filer = $_ $c = connect-nacontroller $filer $vols = Get-navol $vols | % { $volume = $_.name if ((get-navoloption $volume | ? {$_.name -eq "fractional_reserve"}).value -ne 0) { set-navoloption $volume fractional_reserve 0 } } }

Wiley, If you are unsare about redundant paths, run storage show disk -p to ensure you are MPHA, also, run config advisor against your cluster to see All IOM firmware should be NDU. I've done hundreds of shelf module upgrades and never have run into an issue. What version on ontap are you running and version of IOM are you running?

One more thing, make sure you can go directly to 8.2 from 7.3.6 with snaplock. You might have to make an intermediary upgrade to 8.1.x and then to 8.2. Hence the reason to double-check with snaplock

Stefan, Make sure you triple check your documentation with snaplock and you might want to open a case just in case b/c of snaplock. Also, you are using the wrong image for 2040's. You most likely need the e image. it has to do with chipset. At least that has been my experience with 8.1.x. I don't have experience with 8.2.x.

That's the default out of the box configuration. In my case, I do snap sched -A aggr0 0 immediately and remote any snaps that might be there. I don't see a reason why you need aggregate snapshots in your case Also, another way to check your aggrs reserve is snap reserve -A From: severino santirso fernandez <xdl-communities@communities.netapp.com> To: Josh Goldfarb <josh.goldfarb@prudential.com>, Date: 04/22/2014 12:25 PM Subject: - Do we need Snapshots on our aggregates? Do we need Snapshots on our aggregates? created by severino santirso fernandez in Data ONTAP 7G/8.x 7-Mode - View the full discussion Dear mates, our question is very simple. We have two Storage Processors on a FAS2240-4 Chassis that are replicating volumes (Through SnapMirror technology) to another FAS2240 Chassis on a remote/different DataCenter. We do NOT replicate the whole aggregates that contain these volumes and we will NOT need to revert an entire aggregate to a previous state. In this scenario, is it needed/advisable to have: - The aggregate snapshots scheduling active ? snap sched -A Aggregate aggr0: 0 1 4@9,14,19 Aggregate aggr1: 0 1 4@9,14,19 - The 5% aggregate snapshot reserve? netapp2-spa> aggr options aggr0 ...... percent_snapshot_space=5%, May we disable scheduling and set percent_snapshot_space=0%?

I like the idea of snapmirror over 10g for sure. I understand the other iscsi/nfs vif. As for the 1gb, i'm still not seeing value add here.

Over all my years of dealing with netapp, I've had a hard time determining the value add's for E0m at all. It's been excluded in all my designs. SP, is a must, but you will have better success bonding the 1gb's. But if your 4 10g ports are serving all the same VLAN's, I would build 2 x 10gb lacp vifs with a single-mode on top of it. I would leave the 1gb's out of it. Thats just me,

Whats your current backend disk, you are saying V-series, but has FAS shelves? If you're doing a headswap, i would highly recommend you work with Netapp support
