Net2 does not contain instructions for head swap from FAS3020/FAS3050 to FAS62xx. Unfortunately. Sorry for confusion. Somehow I automatically assumed that it is an old model that does not support Data ONTAP 8.x. Of course you can upgrade from FAS3040/3070 just fine using standard procedure. ... View more

That is exactly “booting 8.x on root volume from 7G”. Do you have statement from NetApp that this method is supported? This would make life much easier. In 8.x Data ONTAP is no more kept on root volume, no post-swap upgrade is strictly speaking necessary (root volume content is udated automatically from archive on boot media). ... View more

1. There is no specific licenses needed for conversion. FAS62xx comes with own licenses and you are supposed to install them after upgrade. If old system has more (or different set of) licenses, you are supposed to delete those, that are not available for new one. 2. Head swap is always disruptive with 7-Mode. 3. Tough. See below. As of now there is no real documentation I am aware of dealing with this. Simply booting 8.x on root volume with 7.x may work, but I have not seen official statement of support (if someone can correct me - excellent). The most bullet proof way I can think of is to loan a head supporting both 7G and 8.x and do two consecutive head swaps with Data ONTAP upgrade in between. The task is simple to perform but non-trivial to plan. If you do not have good experience with NetApp it really makes sense to arrange for professional service to do it. ... View more

But it will be started again after reboot. I wish there was “cifs unsetup” or similar. I am too interested in how to return filer to “CIFS uninitialized” state.

Yes, I came to the same conclusion as well. I guess the only way to enable passwordless login in this case would be Kerberos, but as far as I can tell it is not supported by NetApp for user authentication. ... View more

IPv6 is not supported in 8.0. I just tested IPv6 on freshly installed 8.1.1 sim under VMware Player 4.0.3 over host-only interface. Sim was minimally setup - just IPv6 enabled, no explicit address. So both sim and player were running with link local addreses. In this config I could ping sim IPv6 from host but attempt to login with PuTTY resulted in simsim> No route to host Thu Aug 23 22:28:20 MSK [simsim:openssh.invalid.channel.req:warning]: SSH client (SSH-2.0-PuTTY_Release_0.62) from fe80::e990:e9fa:34e9:b6c sent unsupported channel request (10, x11-req).  No route to host No route to host I found following in Network Guide: FreeBSD user applications like NTP, ASUP, and NDMP cannotcommunicate with destinations that have IPv6 link- local addresses.

Well … looking at VM layout change I doubt it would have been possible. E.g. 8.1 used RAM disk based varfs and stored NVRAM in regular disk, while 8.1.1 has disk based varfs and stores NVRAM in separate vmdk. You really cannot make it by simply updating kernel. ... View more

Actually I did "upgrade" from 8.0 to 8.1 a while ago by replacing CF card VMDK and it worked. Now I was about to finalize and document procedure (make sure varfs is preserved etc) but found that VM structure of 8.1.1 is completely different from 8.1. Pity. I'll look at new layout, but of course if it may change even between minor dot releases, it leaves little hope for even non-supported procedure ... View more

You probably misunderstand the problem. Real user (domain user) does have the required capabilities, but there does not appear to be any way to let SSH authenticate domain user using public key. I could not find any information in documentation or knowledge base. If you try to login as domain user using full domain name, public key authentication does not work. If you try to strip domain part, you can use public key, but in this case NetApp apparently does not see this user as domain user (and does not grant capabilities). ... View more
