Could you please tell me what is wrong with the following? It is from the attached document.  It is complaining about missing "}". However, if I add "}" in the end, still the same.

Thank you for you patience again! Questions on your following comment, what is the pain part in following steps: Pain in the neck steps… Recreate new CIFS shares (C$, ETC$, HOME) using same characteristics as old shares Delete old CIFS shares Delete old root volume and aggregate once satisfied with results.

Hi resqme914, I have get 2 spares back on filer A, so, just wanted to make sure steps with you one more time. I'd prefer to keep disks ownship as is, so, not going to assign disks from one filer to the other. - create raid4 aggr_root on 2 spares. - run through "root vol move" steps above, and reboot - destroy aggr0, and will be releasing  all disks. - run aggr options aggr_root raidtype raid_dp - change aggr_root to aggr0 ...

Yes, both filer A and AP should have 2 spares, however, filer A now only have one since the other one got failed. Your steps should be still the same, instead of borrowing 1 spare from AP, I'd have to borrow 2. My question is if these borrowed spares should be back to AP, from performance or future mangement perspective? or are they just logically owned by AP, and it doesn't matter which filer own them or using them? If yes, then I can return any disks once after I free up a lot of disks? A lot of questions here, Thanks! ... View more

Hi resqme914, Good to see you back. filer A and B has it's own HA pair. The problem is filer A, since it has only one spare. Now, let's say A's HA partner is AP, and AP has 2 spares. So, are you saying I can move 2 spares from AP to A, and make up a root aggr with raid-dp? How do I move these 2 to filer A? Would that effect the performance or seemed weird, since 3 disks in aggr0 will be across two filers? ... View more

Hi David and resqme914, Issues again: I am getting the following error when I am trying to change aggr0 from raid-dp to raid4: > aggr options aggr0 raidtype raid4 aggr options: Can't revert a raid_dp aggregate to raid4 as it results in 22 disks in the raid group, which exceeds the maximum raid group size of 14 disks for a raid4 aggregate. I have to free up some disks first, in order to move root volume to a new aggr with raid4, because I just found that I have only one spare left, the other spare got failed, I can not use one disk for raid4 aggr. Currently, aggr0 has 2 raid group, and with 23 disks each. Any alternatives? ... View more

I am sorry, Scott. Even if these two IP's .7 and .8 on the same subnet can go through the same VLAN, and then come to two different vfiler's? Are there any special configuration requirements on CISCO switch side to achieve that? ... View more

Hi Scott, Can traffics go through the same vlan "vlan100" (grouped on 2 ports), and split to IP's x.x.x.7 and x.x.x.8 for two different vfilers respectively? ... View more

Hi Scott, I have an interface group(vlan tagging) vlan100 with IP x.x.x.7 already on pfiler. Planning on creating vfiler1 and vfiler2 with 2 IP's respectively x.x.x.7 and x.x.x.8, both will be configured on the same vlan100( can I achieve that?). x.x.x.7 will be moved to vfiler1. Both vfiler's will be using the same ipspace "ips" Following are illustrated commands/steps pfiler>vfiler create vfiler1 -s ips -i x.x.x7 /vol/vfiler1_root /vol/vol1 pfiler>vfiler create vfiler2 -s ips -i x.x.x8 /vol/vfiler2_root /vol/vol2 in vfiler0/etc/rc, add the following, and also could be run manually first: ifconfig vlan100 alias x.x.x.7 ifconfig vlan100 alias x.x.x.8 vfiler run vfiler1 route add default x.x.x.1 1 Please correct me if anything wrong, and let me know the following questions: 1. how outside traffics know which vfiler's should go to by sharing the same vlan100? 2. do I need to run the "route add" to vfiler2 in /etc/rc, like "vfiler run vfiler2 route add default x.x.x.1 1"? 3. what's in ipspace "ips" in this example? Thank you and this should be my last question. ... View more

Hi Scott, Thanks for being patient. The following is the output of vfiler status -a. Understand that /etc/rc only exist on vfiler0, but it has not been changed at all. two IP's, X.7 and X.8 are the same configuration in /etc/rc. What and on where should I do to have X.7 and X.8 be used on vfiler1 Could you please show me what these 2 IP's configuration should look like in /etc/rc? vfiler1                          running    ipspace: ipspace1    IP address: x.x.x.7 [unconfigured]    IP address: x.x.x.8 [unconfigured]    Path: /vol/vfiler1_root [/etc]    Path: /vol/vfiler1_vol1    UUID: 1a8aaa.............412    Protocols allowed: 7    Allowed: proto=rsh    Allowed: proto=ssh    Allowed: proto=nfs    Allowed: proto=cifs    Allowed: proto=iscsi    Allowed: proto=ftp    Allowed: proto=http    Protocols disallowed: 0 ...

I have used the following command, and looks vfiler1 created: vfiler create vfiler1 -s ipspace1 -i  ip1 -i ip2 /vol/vfiler1_root /vol/vfiler1_vol1 However, when I do run the following on vfiler0, getting error: rdfile /vol/vfiler1_root/etc/messages /vol/vfiler1_root/etc/messages: No such file or directory Would you please let me know what I am missing? Any thing special to do to create /vol/vfiler1_root? ... View more

Hi Scott, I know that actual IP's would have to be used, the following is just illustrated command. Using multiple "-i"'s is the way to migrate all my vlan's to vfiler1 from the hosting storage? vfiler create vfiler1 -s ipspace1 -i vlan-cifs-ip -i vlan-rep-ip -i vlan-bak-ip /vol/vfiler1_root /vol/vol11 /vol/vol12... If the same IP is used by 2 vfiler's by two different IPSPACE's, then DNS name would be the only way to reference two vfilers, we can not use IP to distinguash two different vfiler's, right? ...

Hi Scott, Thanks for messages.  I have a few more concret questions, mostly about IP's assignment. Currently we have several vlan's already created on hosting storage(vfiler0), they are respectively for CIFS shares(vlan-cifs), the replication(vlan-rep), and backup(vlan-bak). Now since we are planning on creating vfiler's, these vlan's should be all moved to vfiler1(for nas app1), so vfiler1 will be the one to function the same as we originally planned on the hosting storage. We will also create vfiler2(for nas app2). My design/questions is following: 1)  When I create vfiler1, is following command looks good to you: vfiler create vfiler1 -s ipspace1 -i vlan-cifs-ip -i vlan-rep-ip -i vlan-bak-ip /vol/vfiler1_root /vol/vol11 /vol/vol12...ohter vol's 2)  The only IP on eoM will be staying on vfiler0 3)  Do I need to assign a dedicated physical port and an IP for vfiler2? Or, do I have the choice of sharing vlan-cifs-ip that is the same one will be used on vfiler1? If yes,  then should I create an alias name for vlan-cifs-ip first? Is following command good to you: vfiler create vfiler2 -s ipsapce2 -i (aliasname for vlan-cifs-ip) or (dedicated IP) /vol/vfiler2_root /vol/vol21 /vol/vol22... other vol's 4)  How do I create the (aliasname for vlan-cifs-ip) for vfiler2? Hoping to hear you again. ... View more
