Ensure that the database backup schedule is enabled within Unified Manager itself. Restoring that backup is the disaster recovery scenario. You can configure the backup location to be a LUN/NAS mount off of the VM is you wish to keep it remote from the server, however ensure that the connection to that location is adequate to transfer large amounts of data quickly.

There is a jobs table in the database, but it appears to only list the jobs submitted through the UI (at least on my server). I recommend opening a support case and attaching a DFMDC output to start (hopefully this will complete) so that we can resolve the condition. Kevin

Chris, The command "dfm run" MAN page entry (copied below) will show you the available sub-commands. Have you tried the status and/or delete commands yet? Kevin dfm run This command manages the execution of remote commands. dfm run attempt [ -t timeout ] [ -f ] [ job-id ... ] Trigger an attempt to run the listed jobs. The optional timeout argument sets a maximum time limit (in seconds) for the command to complete on the host. This timeout overrides the timeout set by dfm run submit. The optional -f flag asks the DataFabric Manager server to force execution of the job even if the reschedule time has not been reached. The optional job-id arguments will limit the job attempts to only the listed jobs. If no job-id is given, all jobs will be attempted. If the -t timeout is triggered on a particular host, that part of the job will be marked as ``failed'' (i.e.: it will not be rescheduled). dfm run cmd [ -t timeout ] [ -R retry-count ] [ -r ] { host | group | - } command ... This is the simplest way to run a command on one or more hosts. The optional timeout argument sets a maximum time limit (in seconds) for the command to complete on the client. The default is 0 (wait forever). The -R retry-count parameter can be used to optionally specify the number of times job should be retried in case of errors. The optional -r flag runs the command via the host's hostRLMAddress using the ssh protocol instead of using the hostPrimaryAddress and the default protocol. When - is used instead of a host or a group causes the command to read standard input for a list of hosts to execute the command on. The command is the command string to execute on the host. If command matches an alias name, then the command string is substituted by the sequence of commands defined in the alias definition. dfm run delete [ -k ] job-id ... Delete a pending or running job. If you try to delete a currently running job, a warning message will be printed and the job will not be deleted. The -k option will force the job to be killed and deleted in these situations. dfm run status [ job-id ... ] Show the status of the requested jobs. If no job-id arguments are given, then status will be listed for all jobs. dfm run submit [ options ] [ -a ] [ -r ] { host | group | - } command ... The options are -j job-id: normally the command chooses a job-id automatically; this option allows you to specify a particular job ID. -t timeout: set a maximum limit in seconds for the command to complete on the remote host. The default is 300 seconds. -a: attempt to run the job immediately. -r: attempt to run the job on the host's hostRLMAddress using the ssh protocol. dfm run wait [ -t timeout ] job-id Wait until the job identified by job-id is complete. Wait forever or for timeout seconds. dfm run alias import [ -d ] { path | - } Import alias definitions from the specified path or standard input. All alias definitions are imported in the single transaction. If there is an error in importing, no new definition will be imported and old definitions will be preserved. If path is specified, alias definitions will be read from the file named path. If - is specified then alias defintions are read from the standard input. See FORMAT FOR IMPORTING ALIAS DEFINITIONS for more information about the format of the alias definition file. -d: delete all old alias definitions before importing the new ones. dfm run alias export { path | - } Export alias definitions to the specified path or standard output. If path is specified, alias definitions will be written into the file named path. If - is specified then alias defintions are written to the standard output. dfm run alias list [ object ] List all aliases available to the client. The object can be a group or a host. If object is specified, then list all aliases executable on the given object. If object is not specified, list all aliases that client can execute on any host. dfm run alias reset Delete all alias definitions.

I am not familiar with VSC and am not certain if the following is VSC version dependent. This is from the VSC 4.2.1 admin guide - I hope it helps you modify the controller password: https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMP1149724 p42 VSC uses credentials (user name and password) that you set up in Monitoring and Host Configuration to authenticate each storage system and determine which storage operations can be performed on that storage system. VSC uses one set of credentials for each storage system. These credentials determine all VSC tasks that can be performed on that storage system; in other words, the credentials are for VSC, not an individual VSC user. p46 When Monitoring and Host Configuration adds a storage system, it displays a pop-up box that lists the credentials associated with the username/ password pair you entered when you logged in. You can either set up default credentials that Monitoring and Host Configuration will use during its storage system discovery process or manually enter credentials when the storage system is discovered. Thanks, Kevin

OCHP can be installed on the UM server, the vCenter server (preferably the one it is associated with), or any other Windows server. Look for a "NetApp" folder under the Start Menu -> All Programs locations with "OnCommand Host Service PowerShell" under it.

Does this happen to every volume or just some/few? Since the behavior is the same between System Manager versions and the data is displayed occasionally I suspect that this is due to bug 583013, where snapshot data might not get displayed in a timely manner due to calculation of the snapshot space consumption details. There is no workaround nor public report at this time. Thanks, Kevin

It appears that the docs were not updated to reflect a change in OCSM for adding disks to an aggregate - I will submit a documentation change to update those steps. Use the "Edit" button on the Aggregate page and then find the "Disks to Add" field in the pop up to add disks to an aggregate, then click "Save and Close". Kevin

Yes, OCSM 2.1 behaves the same in this regard. The steps in the 2.1 guide start on page 131: https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMP1120610 As Yann pointed out though you must add disks to the aggregate above 16Tb to trigger the conversion in OCSM - there is no way to simply upgrade in-palce. You can refer to TR-3978 "In-Place Expansion of 32-Bit Aggregates to 64-Bit Overview and Best Practices" for additional information on performing an in-place upgrade not using OCSM. Kevin

Hello, This can be sorted out but I recommend that you open a support case to work through it. Some of the items to discuss/confirm under the support case: 1) Was the Secondary Space Migration Wizard used to migrate the volumes or were primary volumes migrated? 2) Assuming that the old aggregates/volumes for the migrated relationships were destroyed then purging the aggregate or volume from the UM database will remove them from any dataset they are a member of. Prior to any purging work it is necessary to confirm that a valid UM db backup exists . 3) Another concern that comes in with application datasets for Snapmanager integration is that the Snapmanager product needs to be aware of the relationships so that it can continue to update them during backup jobs. It sounds like it might still be operating correctly here, but I recommend that the Snapmanager configuration wizard (assuming SMSQL based on the names) be run through to update the configuration if it needs it. If no changes are needed, then continue through and finish it. Kevin

Hi Hemanth, You should not be using OCSM 2.0 at this time - the minimum version that you should use is 2.0R1. I recommend upgrading to 2.2 or 3.0 if your version of ONTAP is supported by those releases. You can find the aggregate upgrade instructions on page 134 of the OnCommand System Manager 2.2 Help For 7-Mode For Use with Data ONTAP: https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMP1203769 Thanks, Kevin

Using the "Diagnose" wizard in the NMC under the Hosts tab you will be able to update the NMDP credentials. However, if port 10000 is being blocked between the UM server and the new controllers then NDMP is going to timeout. Kevin

The workaround for that bug will require a support case. At the same time the behavior can be confirmed to be that bug. I cannot say why all the controllers have not hit the condition, however it was thought that this would be a rare occurrence. Despite the error you might be getting the virtual objects discovered from that host service - have you noticed any missing in UM? Kevin
