I have setup snapmirror relation between source and destination for a volume. Added the entry into the snapmirror.conf file and scheduled the snapmirror. I took the snapshot at the source using snapdrive to make the consistent snap shot . I invoked snapmirror quiesce and break via oncomand system manger so the destination volume will be read/writeable. Mounted the dr Lun at the destination server and tested all ok.  Everything worked up to this stage. I took a snapshot at the destination server using snapdrive. My intention was to reverse synch from dr to source filer after few test . I noticed that the snapmirror relation on the oncomand system manger was in unknown sate instead “reverse” or “resync “ with broken-off.  I was not able to reversesync  from the destination to source back since the only option was left to initialize from source to destination. I can not think of any reason  why I did not have the option to reverse sync .  Is it something to do with oncomand sytem manager or snapdrive snapshot? I will appreciate experts who can help me on this. ... View more

Based on tr3479 the best practice is to keep NFS and iscsi on separate subnet, I have a FAS2440 with three interfaces and I do not think it is better to split the interfaces for multiple vif instead I want to create a single vif with three intefaces. vif create multi vif0 –b ip e0a e0b e0c then create VLAN vlan create vif0 101 106 is there any advantages of doing that? becuase the both traffic are going to end up in same interfaces. ...

I am trying to create vlan on existing vif for iscsi and nfs, hope someone check this statement and correct it for me if I am wrong please?

This might be a vmware question, but netapp techs must came across this. I have not found any document regarding both  protocol in vmware environment for netapp storage in a single subnet. Fas2040 is configured for  NFS and iscsi storages and both storage are in same subnet. . Also have dell equallogic . For the iscsi,  I can not use “Route Base IP hash" Fot NFS , I have to use link aggregation with nic teaming load balance " route based IP hash"I put both NFS and Iscsi in same vswitch and noticed that VSC is mounting the NFS using iscsi port group eventhough the iscsi is configured to use " route based IP port is": nic teaming load balance policy. Is there any way I can make NFS to use NFS port group? ... View more

I have oncomand system manager 2.2 Ontap ver 8.1.3. I noticed that oncomand system manger shows that 0 space left on lun and it used 100.16 %. I looked at the lun at cli  >lun show -v and it shows occupied size as same on the oncomandsystem info. Lokked at the snapdrive and windows2008 diskmanager an noticed that there is a free space on the disk at the windows OS level. I resized the lun using the sanpdrive to whether OnComand system Manager gets this info and noticed that there is no change in the oncomand system manger, that is , still shows as 0 space left. Is there any fix to make that oncomadsystem manager shows the correct info same as the windows os size? ... View more
