You can't connect them. You have two independent storage systems - FAS and E-series.

Actually current version is web based (https://synergy.netapp.com/).

Looks like mnotherboard replacement is in order. You need to open case with NetApp support.

There is no inherent synchronization between the two schedules. I think, if two snapshots are attempted at exactly the same second, one of them may fail. T is always better to schedule so that they do not overlap.

Hmm ... you are right, seems that cDOT does not have direct analog. Command map suggests "snap delta" from node shell. As long as volumes are still visible fom node shell this should be possible.

aborzenkov · ‎2015-08-12

Snapshot "size" is amount of changed or deleted data, while snap mirror transfers new data. Did you check Snap delta between two snap mirror snapshots? I believe, total transfer time refers to the last completed snap mirror transfer, not the one in progress.

You do not really need reserved space in usual case on volume level, as long as there is enough space in containing aggregate; but monitoring tools may nag you with "volume free space too low" messages.

With iSCSI host should transparently reconnect, just like with NFS, if it is configured following NetApp recommendations.

aborzenkov · ‎2015-08-11

NFS and vmware should be transparent if configured suitably. There will pause in accessing data from NetApp so all applications need to be able to survive it. You can look at documentation for various host utilities which timeouts they set by default (they should represent worst case). CIFS sessions will be interrupted and applications will need to reconnect.

There are no issues with changing shelf IDs or moving them to different HBA. Disk configuration is stored on-disk, not tied to specific disk access path.

Probably environment is messed up. Could you try printenv in loader to record current values, set-defaults and printenv again so it can be compared. Then try once more.

Try NetBoot and install new software first.

How exactly re parse points are related to de duplication? Big s non-public, so it is not clear what you mean.

aborzenkov · ‎2015-08-05

You probably want to enable access based enumeration for this share; Enable ABE cifs shares -change sharename -accessbasedenum

What credentials are used to log in? You cannot set group password, cannot you?

It is possible to do SMTape to file on NetApp; then you can copy this file to external client and transfer to remote NetApp. You still need enough space on source and destination to do it. Also this is diag level option so usual warning applies. I am not aware of any possibility to connect USB storage device directly to NetApp, and even if this were possible, I would be very surprised if it could be accessed on WAFL layer.

It's not enough to have common names - filer also must be able to map Unix user name to Unix UID. That usually requires using network (NIS, LDAP) backend for Unix user database.

aborzenkov · ‎2015-08-03

No, that is not possible.

0a9800 OUI is not even registered. Something is really strange here. Any chance WWN was previously set manually on 7-Mode system?

Try reseating disk - pull out, wait a couple of minutes, plug back in. Otherwise it could be disk or backplane issue and you really need to open support case - it is hard to say anything without seeing past events.

aborzenkov · ‎2015-07-30

The only encryption possibility is using SED; I do not think they are supported with 7.3.7; check HWU for supported combinations.

aborzenkov · ‎2015-07-30

What exactly "does not see" means? Is disk present in sysconfig -a output?

aborzenkov · ‎2015-07-28

Mailboxes must be present also without HA.

I vaguelly remember some general issues with FCX shelves management in earlier 8.0 releases. May be what you see is not specific to PS toolkit at all. You really should update, this is just too old.

aborzenkov · ‎2015-07-23

Well, hot cable move between adapters is supported as of 8.2.1; see kb2023388. The catch is "between adapters". Not between shelf and adapter 🙂 I think this is one of those twilight zones where you do not get direct answers.
