The VHA simulated disks don't survive being partitioned. Partitioning appears to break the disk labels. Looks like a bug to me. If you have LAB On Demand access, there is a lab with ADP on vSCSI simulated disks. But the fake-ssd feature is broken in promoted builds (Maybe a bug, maybe an oversight) so no AFF/ADP simulation or even flash pools are possible there either at the moment.

I've often wondered that myself. I suppose back in the day, the advanced config settings may not have survived the OVF import process. Doesn't seem to be an issue these days.

Physical interfaces don't have IP addresses in CDOT. The node management logical interface may have failed over to a different port. Try a net int show, find the interface node management is sitting on, and see if that port is on the right network. If its correct, check the routing groups. The default failover groups caused all sorts of havoc prior to FS.0 And that message at boot is usually a red herring.

Its not an in-place upgrade. Just like physical controllers they must be evacuated and wiped to convert them to cluster mode. The conversion procedure works in the sims, with the exception of the set-defaults loader command which is not available in the vloader.

VFilers are a 7mode feature, but pretty much all the LOD VMs are running CDOT. There is an older SRM lab with a couple 8.2.1 vms, an intro to 8.2 lab, and a 7mtt lab with 8.1.something. None are HA but you should be able to get through a basic vfiler config.

I've got one exibiting similar behaviour. the management ring comes up in a 'normal' time frame. The rest of the rings show the same error. But they do eventualy come up. Its maybe 20 minutes before the rest of the rings come online. This particular sim is running on ESX, so I think you can rule out the hypervisor. Its also running 8.3GA, so its not isolated to the RC.

Looks a lot like VMware kb2091578. Try going to a newer patch release of 5.5.

shatfield · ‎2015-03-31

Caught by that one once or twice myself. In 8.3, you can leave the cluster base blank and finish setup. Just hit enter. Then paste them all in over ssh later.

no, there are a bunch of hidden options at the boot menu. 25/7 is "boot with labels forced to clean". Not sure if it will help, since I don't know if that includes label versioning. I'm not even sure it was there in 7.x. I haven't been in front of one that old for a while.

shatfield · ‎2015-03-29

If it already exists, use the one you have.

So... The broadcast domain exists it contains e0M and other Data ports The subnet exists The subnet is associated with the correct broadcast domain It has available IPs but: you get an error when you create the lif on the network interfaces tab? or are you getting the error when you create the SVM? either way, whats the error message?

shatfield · ‎2015-03-28

Is there some reason they can't be in the same broadcast domain? Different MTU perhaps?

shatfield · ‎2015-03-28

The option you need is 4a_forced, but it's probably disabled on release kernels. 25/7 is worth a shot. Otherwise you need to borrow an ontap 8 capable controller and either spare,zero,and unown them on it, or assign them all and execute a revert to 7.x .

shatfield · ‎2015-03-28

In your design, is the network with the 10.1/16 subnet that e0M is connected to the same network that the data ports are connected to? Or are you using the same/overlapping address ranges on two completely separate networks?

shatfield · ‎2015-03-25

And another way: Delete the 250gb disk on IDE1:1, and replace it with a new one. Thin provisioned is ok. As long as its done before the first boot, the sim will partition it during init and mount it on /sim

LIFs exist within a vserver and can't be moved between vservers. You could delete one and create one with the same name in another vserver, but it sounds like you may just be trying to make the CLI output look a certain way.

Assuming you have support, you just need your NOW account associated with your company and your filer serial numbers. Use the serial numbers to open a non-technical case to work through whatever account issues are preventing you from opening a technical case. On the subject of upgrades, there are many considerations coming from such an old release in a production environment. Its not something you want to attempt on your own if you are new to the NetApp platforms. Professional assistance would be a very good idea (to be clear, I work for a professional services organization). If you go it on your own, make sure to get upgrade advisor reports and thouroughly review the upgrade/revert guide for your target version. Coming from 8.0.2, look at moving both arrays to 8.1.4P8. Pause there and carefully evaluate the impact of other components in your environment before going to 8.2.3P1. You will want to become very familiar with the IMT as it relates to everything else you have touching the arrays.

Did you complete cluster setup at the console?

The last I heard the beta bits stopped working with vcenter6 in the post RC timeframe. I would wait for updated VSC and VASA downloads to become available.

OVFTool can create an OVA/OVF from an existing virtual machine.

In a big cluster vidconsole is probably going to be easier to manage. If you have a VSPC deployed that would be ideal. The basic serial over ethernet functionality would require you to know which host the sim is running on. If you have DVAdmin (from an Edge deployment) that can do it too.

Also what to do when balance is holding up a headswap... Just try firing up OPM to figure which VM is the bully. It makes for an anti-climactic demo. You can't get there from here, and probably never will.

shatfield · ‎2015-03-06

this ones been around a long time. Is there a mechanism to file BURTS against the SIM? I could make a list 😃

shatfield · ‎2015-03-03

You've got options: 1. assign an IP to e0M, then reconnect system manager to that IP and use the GUI to fix up the other interfaces. 2. re-run setup, put in all the updated/corrected settings, then reboot the controller. 3. Log in to the service processor, and reconfigure the interface form the CLI. Then edit the on-disk config files so the changes will persist accross reboots.

You've told the netapp to expect VLAN 1 to come in tagged. You'll need to tell the Switch to send it tagged by setting some other VLAN (even a dummy vlan) as the native vlan on the port channel.
