Hi there, I wrote this post for you. I believe by your username that you're in Germany and the time difference makes troubleshooting onerous. Also, I will be unavailable for a few days now. Kindly let me know if it helps. ... View more

The IP space you're using is conflicting with existing IP allocation in your environment as the GUI presented is for the out of band management interface of some Cisco server. Also, I see .11, the cluster_mgmt LIF is hosted on e0a whereas .10, node_mgmt is on e0c. Typically under Fusion, both e0a and e0b are used for ClusterNet and the Fusion setting would be "host-only" and e0c/e0d are used for client access and by default set to "NAT" in Fusion. The CLI you're logging into is effectively the serial port of the simulator so IP addresses don't come into play. You likely can't ssh to either IP either because they're probably both assigned to external servers. I'd recommend changing IP spaces completely, try moving to 10.0.0.0/24. In the console, type:   net int modify -vserver ontap-test -lif  cluster_mgmt -address 10.0.0.50 -netmask 255.255.255.0 net int modify -vserver ontap-test -lif  ontap-test-01_mgmt1 -address 10.0.0.51 -netmask 255.255.255.0   Then in Fusion, make sure e0a/e0b is set to host-only and e0c/e0d is set to NAT, I use Bridged here so that I can access the simulator from other hosts as well, not just my laptop. Try connecting via https to either of the new IP addresses as well as ssh. I'm not sure why your cluster_mgmt is on e0a, but I assume it's because you set it to a single-node cluster, I don't do this specifically because I want the ClusterNet interfaces to still exist for better screenshots. Then you should be able to hit https://10.0.0.50/ and login.           ... View more

Sorry for misunderstanding, but you literally started your original post with "cannot access the GUI".    Looking at your screenshot, that's a Cisco web page, not the ONTAP Cluster login. Please provide the previously requested output, or find out what IP the cluster_mgmt LIF is on, and try that instead. ... View more

Did you see the note on page 16:   NOTE: Be aware this guide mixes examples of the VMnet8 on different subnets (192.168.23.0 above, 17.0 later on, etc)   Are you using IP space suitable to your environment? The screenshot you provided isn't much help, at the same prompt can you please type "net int show" and provide the output of that? ... View more

I see you've gotten ample feedback on training providers, my response here is to suggest that you install the simulator in your virtual environment, get into the command line and start changing/breaking stuff. There's no better way to learn. Get to the command line, type a question mark, type the first command and then another question mark to see the parameters ad nauseam. ... View more

I guess this is a pre-emptive SOW, considering 9.8GA isn't out yet never mind P1? There's a lot of variables that go into scoping this upgrade, and while 12-16 hours definitely feels excessive, without context to what sort of surrounding effort is involved it wouldn't be fair to call this ludicrous yet. Is it your role to question the pricing of a statement of work? Sometimes management simply wants a throat to choke or finger to point and if no one in-house can do the upgrade, they often feel better if they pay more. If the system is heavily loaded it wouldn't be completely unheard of for an upgrade of an HA pair to take 4, maybe 6 hours. Then, is there any sort of verification testing being done, what about upgrades of OCUM/AiQUM, Snapcenter, or other support infrastructure? If it is your place to question the price, then perhaps you could request a Time & Materials SOW and not a fixed fee and have them report their hours. Or, shop the the upgrade around, surely there's other partners in your area who could provide a competing quote.   Finally, the upgrade process in recent years has become quite easy and you should think about giving it a go yourself if you're concerned about the cost, but remember, now it is your throat that management gets to choke if it fails. ...

You really don't have to run ConfigAdvisor, it's only going to check for cabling errors and if this cluster has been running for a while, it's probably fine. However, it doesn't hurt to have it installed, so maybe proceed anyway.   Config Advisor does indeed connect to your systems directly, via ssh, but it will not provide an upgrade path. That path previously provided by TMAC is the right way to go. ... View more

I don't believe you're going to see much compression at all on either the TIFF or JPG files. TIFF files don't compress much, if at all and JPG are already compressed I believe. ONTAP can use either LZO Pro or GZIP compression algorithms, you could try compressing your files with utilities that use these same algorithms to determine compressibility. I think what you'll find is that the only way to compress these file types is at the expense of quality, typically people are keeping TIFF files because they want to retain quality. No storage company should tell you differently either.  ... View more

I'm going to assume you've tried the obvious (to me) fixes of flipping the fibres in case of a TX/RX reversal as well as tried a new cable?   Assuming the above, can we get the following from the cluster: net int show net port show   And then the following from the Cisco: show run int <relevant interface> ...
