I have a lot of questions on these steps, for instance, where can I get window vm, and what do I do to ensure it will be installed on NAT network? where and how can I find NAT network? If you can provide details on these steps or any documented guide, that'd be great helpful

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-23

Hi , thanks for your reply. I am not so familiar with window vm, or detail steps. Do you have a guide I can follow? Cam this be all done on my single laptop along with Simulator?

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-23

right, understood if it is in a REAL enviroment. but, we are talking about a SIMULATING environment on my laptop . I am practicing NetApp training class at home, particularly working on EXERCISE 9: ENABLING CIFS AND NFS CLIENT ACCESS. Is there any way, I can simulate such environment on my laptop? or there is no way I can practice EXERCISE 9?

well, I don't know how could i have duplicate mac? everything with cluster1 is fine. I can ping node mgmt ip in cluster2, but not cluster mgmt. I have done a lot with this vmware player. I don't know "workstation", and I don't want to abandon those I have already done, and then go another unfamiliar route. Is anybody out there please help out?

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-22

I have done everything you just said. I did not and do not want to use different subnet, I want to use the same subnet (of cause different ip number) as cluster1. I just don't know what went wrong.

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-22

when I set up 2nd cluster what subnet do I have to use? Should it be the same one as first one, or different one? I used the same subnet for 2nd cluster, then cluster2 mgmt IP's ARE NOT PINGABLE from CMD prompt, though it is pingable from inside cluster2. Node mgmt ip is pingable. If I have to use a different one, then PLS TELL ME HOW TO DETERMINE WHAT THE SUBNET IS? I determine the subnet for the 1st cluster by using ipconfig/all then under vmware net8 DoI need to change system id to be different than any one of nodes in cluster1? I feel some thing extra has to be donein creating cluster2, otherwise, cluster mgmt ip is not reachable. Appreciate your adivce.

Please find attached errors on creating CIFS vserver. I am not sure of if this is the cause, but when I set up the cluster, I did not specify any DNS domain name. Then in creating CIFS vserver wizard, what domain name should I use? I used learn.netapp.local in this case. If it turns out that I need to have a domain name, then what is the way to confiure the domain name after the fact that the cluster is already set up. Thanks very much in advance!

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-21

when you say 3 mgmt IP, you mean 1 for cluster mgmt, 2 for 2 nodes mgmt? that'd be the same configuration as cluster1, correct?

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-21

Otherwise, we can not create hybird aggr, right?

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-20

I am wondering, if it is 2nd cluster, should I use the same subnet as 1st one, the same "14" when I type ipconfig/all, or different one?

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-20

Yes, I can putty in both nodes in the cluster. Could you please share with me details commands to fix the issue? Otherwise, I am thinking to rebuild. Based on "Step by Step installation" doc, the gateway should be 192.168.x.1, x --> 14 here when prompting me to enter cluster mgmt IP. So, I am not sure next time when I rbuild should I use .2 or .1, or if it matters.

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-20

Hi there, As you can see in the attached screenshot. I can ping anybody else inside the simulator, including the gateway 192.168.14.1, but not the mgmt IP: 192.168.14.101. Any idea pls, or do I have to rebuild again? Thanks!

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-19

Hi, Could somebody pls help. the cluster mgmt IP is not pingable, and then could not putty in. It looks up, pls see the the attachment in previous message for "net int show" output

>>Changing the serial needs to be done during the first power on. I don't quite understand this comment. Based on Installation document, changing the serial ports need to be done before first power on. this is when I did the change. I also subsequently added 2 nics. Would that be an issue?

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-18

Hi SHATFIELD , it seems alright now. I added 2 extra NIC's on node2, and able to bring it and the cluster up. The problem now is that I could not putty in and also ping the cluster mgmt IP, 192.168.14.101. Please see my screenshot of "net int show" on both node1 and node2. They all show 192.168.14.101 is THE ip for the cluster mgmt. I can ping node mgmt IP's: 192.168.14.91 and .92, as well as .1 The only possible cause I can think of is that the same IP was used for an already removed cluster. However, the old cluster is already deleted, plus, I already did "putty -cleanup", and also removed all hosts from Registry. Could you please offer any advice to fix? Appreciate your patience.

Hi there, All messages have already attached in two attachments. I have just re-done node2, this time without adding an extra adapters. Everything went fine, and I am not able to join the cluster. Now, node1 has 2 more NW cards than node2. Can I now go ajead tp add those 2 more cards on node2? any extra steps in the sake of adding 2 cards?

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-17

I have already run ipconfig /all, and the subnet on my wondow is 192.168.14.x, so, i used 192.168.14.101 for the cluster mangement IP, 192.168.14.91 for the node1 management ip, as suggested by simulator doc. however, the IP for e0a and e0b on node1 in the already created cluster is configured by the process as default. the same on node2. pls find attached the output of "net int show" on node1 in the cluster. I guess, I am not sure what you wanted me to do. thanks!

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-17

yes, I did. The question is, I did the change after I modified .vmx file for changing the serial port and adding two extra network adapters. is that alright? Also, also since VM PLAYER doens't have VM Editor, I did not change the subnet for 2 new added NW adapters, as suggested by that video. Is that alright?

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-17

Hi, I finally set up the cluster with 1 node and with adding 2 etra network adapters as instructed by the tutorial video. When I set up the 2nd node (added 2 extra network adapters as well), and in the end, it prompts me to enter the cluster name, which I did, then it shows me trying to join, and then network setup.. then it loops back to me and ask me if to create or join the cluster again. pls see the attachment. So, i am in the loop. Are there any solution for that? This is 2nd time. The first time, I thought I did something wrong, so, started over from scratch. What is the cluster IP and I can find from the existing 1 node cluster? If I stopped the prompted questinair, at one point, it asked me to enter cluster IP to recognize. What CLUSTER IP i should use? The cluster with the other node is running fine. Also, based on the video, when I need to change default subnet in the end of adding 2 extra adapters, however, since vmware play doesn't have VM Editor, I skipped this step. Appreicate your help!

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-17

in the end of adding extra network adapters, there is the need to use VM Editor to change subnet, based on the tutorial video. Since I don't have the editor, how do I change the subnet? or do you have to do that?

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-15

Hi All, I need your help! I viewed the video about adding extra ( 2 here) network adapters. Everything looks good to me until when I need to change the subnet for new added adapters. Since I am using Vmware Play for Window 32 or 64bit, I don't have Virtual Network Editor as the video demostrated. So, my quesiton, in my case, how do I change the subnet or configure IP address for new added network adapters. Please help step by step in detail. Thanks! Really appreciate your help!

What about IP's for interfaces? In 1st cluster, I choose 192.168.x.91 for1st node, for instance. Then when I set up 2nd cluster, what IP should I use for the 1st node?

netappmagic · ‎2014-10-14

I have successfully completed setting up 2-node cluster. Are there any installation guides out there that can walk through with me to set up 2nd cluster . Thanks a lot in advance.

I created a vserver for the volume infinite volume. I understand that the volume could be located on different nodes in the cluster. However, I don't understand the structure / architecture of how the volume internally created. why two mirrors are created on n02_aggr1, and 1 data n01_aggr1 and 2 data on n02_aggr1 respectively? how do mirror and data work together? Thanks for your inputs. cluster1::*> vol create -vserver vsinf -volume bigvolume -size 6gb -junction-path /big -state online -policy repos_namespace_export_policy -data-aggr-list n01_aggr1,n02_aggr1 (volume create) [Job 36] Creating constituent "bigvolume_ns_mirror0001" on aggregate "n02_aggr1" [Job 36] Creating constituent "bigvolume_ns_mirror0001" on aggregate "n02_aggr1" [Job 36] Creating constituent "bigvolume_1024_data0001" on aggregate "n01_aggr1" [Job 36] Creating constituent "bigvolume_1024_data0002" on aggregate "n02_aggr1" [Job 36] Creating constituent "bigvolume_1024_data0002" on aggregate "n02_aggr1" [Job 36] Job succeeded: Created Infinite Volume successfully.

need help on these 2 questions: 1. Select 4 resources that can be shared by multiple vservers disks nodes network ports logical interfaces volumes aggregates mirrors nfs services cifs services 2. select 5 above resources that are associated with data vservers i choose disks, network ports, nfs services, cifs servers and nodes for question 1 logical interface volumes aggregates nfs services and cifs services for question 2. but my answers are incorrect
