In the past there was GUI utility to edit Unix file mode. It seems to have disappeared from toolchest. There are command line tools that I myself never tried: http://support.netapp.com/NOW/download/tools/na_chstuff/ You may use something like SFTP client to control permissions and even ownership (I briefly tested WinSCP and it allows changing file owner/group and mode bits). But it also means you have to ensure unique UID for every user and setup LDAP for Unix user database as well. You still need valid CIFS-to-Unix user mapping. It is independent from CIFS authentication mechanism. ... View more

Oops, sorry, I messed it up. TR-3505 is for 8.0 or earlier; current one is TR-3958, which is for 8.1. Licensing has changed, some commands have changed, volume size limits have changed, etc. TR-3849 is still available as I mentioned, but it is already old now. ... View more

Is there a way that I can mount the drive as a user from LDAP and have the security tab show to change permissions from a UNIX world No. That's how NetApp works. If you use cifs setup option 4, NetApp presents shares as FAT filesystems which do not support ACLs. It is documented in File Access and Protocols Management Guide. I am surprised you can access NetApp in the first place. Option 4 means plain text passwords, which are disabled by default in Windows for years. ... View more

Sorry, slipped finger. So - I am a bit confused. First you say "No Windows whatsoever" and then you say "mixed environment of Windows and MAC". So are there existing Windows clients (irrespectively of NetApp)? If yes - how they are organized? Is there existing Windows domain and Active Directory infrastructure? ... View more

I am not sure I correctly understand your question. You can script it also without any external software, just create file with sequence of 'dump' commands and 'source' it. NetWorker allows you to specify 'All' as save set which dynamically queries existing volumes and initiates backup session for each of them.

Yes, it should copy all file attributes including security descriptors. You probably need to ensure target directory has the same security style as source. ... View more

No. SnapMirror is only between volumes or qtrees. You can use ndmpcopy to copy other data (but it is not incremental, so make sure you stop access to source folder or use snapshot). ... View more

You can add SSD to aggregate to convert it to flash pool at any time later. Aggregate which gets SSD added will also benefit from them. Adding just three disks means two thirds will be lost. So you probably want to add some more.

As of today the only production thing on it is my virtual desktop, which can be moved rapidly if I need to make changes. The end goal will be to have our Vmware View Dedicated and Linked Clone Desktops using FC LUNs to two ESXi 5.1.0 Clusters and User Roaming Profile, Redirected Folders, Home Directories, Data Share all being CIFS Shares. I have been reading over several good docs and threads on Flash Pool Configuration https://forums.netapp.com/thread/37372, TR-4070, as well and other stuff I found on the web. One question that I have not been able to answer is this, do I need to configure the flash pool prior to configuring the CIFS and LUNs? Also to properly configure RAID DP I need more than three disks.

My initial thought is to assign them to a single controller and then build the new aggr following the link above. Does that sound correct? Also f I assign them to a single controller which aggr will be able to take advantage of the Flash Pool capability? I am so confused, can anyone help? TIA.

There were reports that booting DOT 8.x on 7.x root volume without proper upgrade procedure resulted in extended outage and had to be fixed by NetApp support.

"Is not supported" as in "will not boot" or "will boot but complaint loudly"? The latter is perfectly OK for one time head swap boot.

Just use "halt -f" to shutdown filer. You better have console access to verify, when filer is down. Then when you finished with disks issue "autoboot" command to boot it again. You need to shutdown both controllers in active/active pair.

Volume names on the same controller must be unique. LUN names include full path to LUN, so full path must be obviously unique, but the last part can be the same, i.e. it is quite normal to have /vol/vol1/some.lun and /vol/vol2/some.lun ... View more

You missed words “completely” and “including storage”. It is of course possible to failover if node goes down. It is not possible to automatically failover if entire site (node + storage) goes down. Please ask Google about “split brain”. You need third instance to resolve it, it can be implemented as part of MSCS or as separate tie breaker. Or manually, when administrator accepts responsibility for declaring one node dead. ... View more
