This question must have asked by someone else here. As I understand that the snapshots are taken at volume level not at lun level . vol status shows that nosnap=on, this means that no snap sched runs for that volume or LUN. If we want snap shot for lun then we can take snapshot at LUN level using snapdrive not at ontap. I am correct ?

I was able to fix it, few time breal and release did solve it.

I want to remove a disk shelf from a HA pair and connect that disk shelf into an another HA pair. Hope someone will correct if my steps below are wrong.. 1- Destroy the aggregate (I snapmirrored all volumes to an another aggregate which is not part of this disk shelf and moved the root volume too). 2- cf disable. 3- disk zero all 4.disk asign <disk id> -s onowned on eat a time for all the disks on that shelf. 5- halt both controllers. 7. power down the shelf and remove it I am not sure whether I have to power down the controllers.

I did snapmirror one time , that is, intialise and break. I have not put any entry in the snapmirror.conf file to schedule. But I noticed that Oncomnad system shows that state as "source" on the CLI it snapmirror status shows as "source" there is no option on oncomand to delete this entry (Grayed out) Hope someone come accross this issue.

I read BSAS are SATA disk on a SAS enclosure https://communities.netapp.com/thread/13084

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-24

I have fas2040 with internal disks , the oncomand sytemMAnager shows as BSAS, Can I mix these disk with SATA for an aggregate? both disk are same size and same speed.

I am not sure whether someone else logged into the filer. Some reason it does not let me to log in as root. is there anyway I can fid out or force other user out ?

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-23

my case source and destinations are same filer, but separate aggr

I have snapmirrored a volume and get this erorr when I try to connect to LUN via snapdrive connect disk. "Unable to find a Snapshot copy containing a consistent LUN to restore"

Since I am new to this snapmirror area, hope someone will answer to this question? I did snap mirror a volume like below snapmirror initialise -S fileera:vola filerb:volb Everything was ok, then snapmirror break volB I noticed that status shows that snapmirror relation was broken-off. I not want this status listing anymore. How do I remove that I did snapmirror release vola filerb:volb nothing happened. onComand system manger also shows that snapmirror relation is Broken-off. I do not want to delete the entry in onComand manager before I make sure that it is ok to delete.

Thank you for your reply. Will I be able to use the destination volume if I break whithout running the update?

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-22

Hope someone can answe rthis easy question since I am new to this ? I want to copy a volume to new aggregate and thinking of using snapmirror. I knwo I have to run snapmirror intialise -S first. What do I do after the completion? Is that just snapmirror break <destination vol> at detination filer? or Do i have to run update prior to break?

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-19

can I keep the same name fo vol0, that is. ndmpcopy /vol/vol0 /vol/new_vol vol rename vol0 vol0_org rename the new_vol to vol0 then vol options vol0 root reboot

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-19

We have 8.0.2 7-mode. I was told to use ndmpcopy /vol/vol0 /vol/vol0_new vol rename vol0 vol0_org vol rename vol0_new vol0 vol options vol_new root reboot

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-19

we have fas2024 running in HA. pair I want to move the root volume to new aggregate . I was told that I have to issue >cf disable before I copy the root volume, this way the mailbox info will be copied. I was reading a kb and it says cf takeove/give back. Which is correct.

Can I change this RG late, that is, adding more disks to thiss RG later will the RG same as the other RG

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-09

How do I increase the disk count on that raid groups ? RAID group /a_aggr0/plex0/rg0 RAID group /a_aggr0/plex0/rg1 rg0 has 14 disks rg1 has 7 disks I will appreciate if you can post me the comand ?

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-09

Hope smeone can give me an answer. We have a filer with 14 disks and one aggregate aggr0, the raidsize =20 so this aggregate has only one rg for now with 14 disks. I want to add more disk to that aggregate but do not have same size , this case, I am thinking of creating new raid group. by doing this (I never did this) > aggr add aggr0 -g new -d <disk1> <disk2> , etc (total 7 disks) 1. Will this put the all 7disks in the new raid group or add the disks in th existing raid group ? 2. If that create new raid group for he 7 disks, Can I increase that raid group later when I have more disks, that is, from RG7 to RG=20?

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-08

David, I did not give enough infomation , am buying a new shelf So I do not need destroy the aggregate. Is it possible me to assign spare disks to new RG into the existing aggregate > aggr add aggr0 -g disk1, disk, 2, disk3

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-08

I am new to netapp and hope someone can recomend me this. I have FAS2024 with dual controllers with HA pair. filerA has aggregate 0 with 12 interanl disks(830GB SATA) and filer B has 24 disks with an 4243 disk shelf. Both aggregates are configured with Raid Size=20 . My questions are these. 1- Can I assign disks from a new shelf (Ds4243 with 24*2.2TB) for both filers?, that is, 12 disks for filer A and other 12 disks are for filerB 2- if I can assign how do I assign the 2.2TB to existing aggregate in a new Raid group, becuase the esisting RG has 830GB and do not want to mix larger disks?

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-04

Thank you for your reply, I have another question ! Will the space increase if the sapmirror is on schedule?

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-03

ran snapmirror intialise and the vol got snapmirror. the sorce vol has reached the limit so we had to increase the space. I am trying to change the space on the destination volume and it does not. Ia there any steps which I have to follow? the dst volume is still read-only .

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-03

Thanks I do not want to try it unless I am sure that the solution.

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-02

I have a backup. Can I overwite the file in case if i made mistake. for an example. copy and paste it to /etc/ ? will it overwite the file?

RATNATHURAI · ‎2013-07-02

I am new to this netapp and like to edit host, snapmirror.conf files ect. I like to use wrfile -a option becuase I can do one line at a time and it is safe. How do I delete a line incase if it is wrong line? For an example line 10 is rong and want to delete? Can i do that using wrfile? I noticed that I can access to those file using cifs share. I read few people say that we can use text editor, if i open that using text editor,What do i do after editing that , just click on save? I will appreciate if you can help me on this.
