So did you try to repeat software update when you booted controller B?

This hints at problems with UNICODE file names. Snapshot is read-only, so if original files did not have UNICODE version of file name, it cannot be generated on the fly.

What your issue actually is? Rlw_upgrading status is NOT an issue by itself.

aborzenkov · ‎2012-09-26

Thanks. Would you be so kind … 1. Ha-config also offers option “auto”. What does it do exactly? 2. Could you explain why we need different options for chassis and controller? From your example it follows that either system is HA pair or not. Under which conditions would “chassis” and “controller” setting differ?

aborzenkov · ‎2012-09-25

It is exactly backwards ☺ rlw_upgrading is progressing as scrub runs. It does not cause scrub running by itself.

Disks are correctly downsized. Look at Used column.

aborzenkov · ‎2012-09-24

Looks like you boot device failed. You need to open support case to check and replace if necessary.

How is it supposed to work with one parity being 2TB and second parity being 1TB? RAID_1.5? ☺

aborzenkov · ‎2012-09-23

If 2TB is added to the same raid group as 1TB, then it will use a 2TB drive as parity Do you mean that if I add 2TB drive to existing 1TB raid group it will automatically make it parity drive? I vaguely recall something like this already discussed and I think that this works (assuming this really works) only for RAID4, not for RAID_DP. Do you have any pointers (I remember the was BURT dealing with this, may be KB or anything)?

There is no other way besides host based copy from LUN to share.

At the moment in-place update without capacity extension is not supported. You may try to raise the issue with your NetApp representative, if they can come with solution. If you update to 8.1.1 anyway, it is possible to reverse SnapMirror from 64 bit back onto 32 bit aggregate. You will get 64-bit volume on 32-bit aggregate.

aborzenkov · ‎2012-09-21

Yes, “aggr add” will do exactly that.

Is version of Data ONTAP the same on both filers?

aborzenkov · ‎2012-09-20

Is it VSM or QSM?

aborzenkov · ‎2012-09-20

WAFL is unique in its ability to create large numbers of snaps that impart no performance penalty. Let's be fair. ZFS (and appliances based on ZFS) can create far more snapshots per file system with the same (lack of) performance impact. 255 snapshots per volume is not really that much, especially on a SnapVault destination. NetApp is showing its age here.

aborzenkov · ‎2012-09-20

What exactly do you mean under “CIFS version”? On-the-wire protocol version?

aborzenkov · ‎2012-09-20

Well … on Solaris obsolete patch is still present in installed patch database. Even for new releases which integrate all previous patches (analog of slipstream Windows installation) information about applied patches is present. Is there anything similar on Windows?

Do you have Hyper-V role installed?

I think this message I received after doing "aggr XXX options root" in maintenance mode pretty much explains what happened *> aggr options system root aggr options: Could not copy the FCP, ISCSI and igroup configuration information from the previous root 'aggr0' to the new root 'system'. Use the fcp, iscsi, igroup, lun and vfiler commands to verify the configuration information and recreate it if needed. Contact NetApp Global Services for further assistance. Aggregate 'system' will become root at the next boot. *> So when you issued "vol ... options root" under running system, it overwrote definitions on old root. I wish there were easy way to save and restore block-protocol related settings, or at least that how they are stored were documented in more details.

aborzenkov · ‎2012-09-20

Yes, it can be done online. You can find detailed guides here: http://support.netapp.com/documentation/docweb/index.html?productID=30411

Probably because FAS2240 still ships with 8.1.1RC1 and not everyone knows how to update. Many users just take what they get for granted.

According to this packages for 192.168.132.70 should be using MultiTrunk. Where do you see that it is using MultiTrunk-85?

aborzenkov · ‎2012-09-19

Please show output of “netstat -rn” and “ifconfig -a”. Network questions cannot be answered based on XX.

aborzenkov · ‎2012-09-19

What is IP address of default mailhost? Please show “netstat -rn” output.

NetApp collects detailed performance stats (with second resolution) by default. This is large amount of data so it will automatically delete older stats when consumed space exceeds threshold. Threshold is computed as percentage of root volume size which explains why it changes when root volume is resized. There is KB article about performance archiver, I do not remember exact number.
