Hi Muhammad,                    The options is a hidden one so until you set this option you cant list it. PS: Setting this option will prevent PM from creating a volume greater than the value of this options. Also this is global option and applies to all. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Muhammad,      As kevin said, the solution is to upgrade to OCUM 5.1 or 5.2  as we have made Dynamic Secondary Sizing for Volume SnapMirror as well. But until you complete all your certification or if you are waiting for a GA Release you can follow the workaround in the known issue that you are hitting. I suggest you open a case and add your case to this bug 670808. Here is the link to the bug detail that gives the workaround. http://support.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=670808 Regards adai ... View more

Hi Colin,      There is no standard or custom report that gives you this information. Though you can write a simple script to get the info you are looking for using dfm cli. Regards adai ... View more

Using Configuration management you can do a check against all controllers as to what is the value of the ssh options. Regards adai ... View more

Also in a few days look for the work around in bug online for bug 540524 Regards adai ... View more

Hi Michael,               Pls try this workaround and let me know if you still face this issue. This issue is generally seen when the temporary directory for SYSTEM account is missing. Create the temporary directory from system explorer. On Windows 2008 64-bit edition, create the directory by name "temp" with "default" permissions at the following path: 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\' Regards adai ...

Hi Regis, So I guess, it means that there should be always 1 weekly snapshot available on the primary node. Is "1" the default value for weekly snapshots on Primary Data  ? Yes. Thats what my memory says. If I understand well, (if the retention count for weekly snapshot is 1 as well on the customer site), in our case where this weekly  snapshot was a on-demand snapshot and there is no schedule for weekly snapshots, it means: - it would stay forever unless we generate another snapshot or we change the retention count to 0 . Am I right ? Yes. Even after you generate another weekly snapshot, or Set the count to 0. It would still remain until  14 days since it was created as thats the duration count. Regards adai ...

Hi Keith,      Yes, you can do this in case of primary provisioning policy which has ability to run post provisioning script. But unfortunately  secondary provisioning policy does not have the capability to invoke post provisioning script. I will add you to an internal email regarding the same. Regards adai ... View more

Yes. So if I understand your scenario, you need to split the single server managing say 500 dataset into 250 each ? Is that right ? If your  answer is yes I will then send/upload you the procedure. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Tony,      Can you check if there is TRAP defined for the same ? If so then Craigs suggestion of enabled DFM host as trap receiver should get you this event. The only down side is that all event raised for traps are of the severity Information and they dont show up in the events report. Pls use events-history report to view the same or change the trap severity to make it show up in the normal report. The default event severity definition in OCUM for Traps is Information. But the same can be modified. Default Severity Definition for all trap events is Information : +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ C:\>dfm eventtype list | findstr /i trap-received alert-trap-received                           Information  alert-trap-received critical-trap-received                        Information  critical-trap-received emergency-trap-received                       Information  emergency-trap-received error-trap-received                           Information  error-trap-received information-trap-received                     Information  information-trap-received notification-trap-received                    Information  notification-trap-received warning-trap-received                         Information  warning-trap-received C:\> Modify them as follows: ++++++++++++++++++++ C:\>dfm eventtype modify -v Warning alert-trap-received Modified event "alert-trap-received". C:\>dfm eventtype modify -v Critical critical-trap-received Modified event "critical-trap-received". C:\>dfm eventtype modify -v Emergency emergency-trap-received Modified event "emergency-trap-received". C:\>dfm eventtype modify -v Error error-trap-received Modified event "error-trap-received". C:\>dfm eventtype modify -v Warning warning-trap-received Modified event "warning-trap-received". C:\> Now you will receive the trap with appropriate severity: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ C:\>dfm eventtype list | findstr /i trap-received alert-trap-received                           Warning      alert-trap-received critical-trap-received                        Critical     critical-trap-received emergency-trap-received                       Emergency    emergency-trap-received error-trap-received                           Error        error-trap-received information-trap-received                     Information  information-trap-received notification-trap-received                    Information  notification-trap-received warning-trap-received                         Warning      warning-trap-received The drawback or side effect: ====================== When a trap other than information severity is generated the object status of the filer changes from green to orange, yellow or red. And even when the condition is rectified the object status doesn’t return back to green as there is no neutralization event. Now to overcome and make the object status green resolve the event by clicking on the resolve now. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Rabe, The statusMap table has a mapping of the object status (event, controller, volume, … ) against a numerical constants. The monitor sets the objStatus for each of the object to values for ‘statusName’. The source uses the statusIndex rather than the text field. All the numerical values are powers of 2 The possible values for this field are as follows: "statusName","statusIndex" "Normal","16" "Warning","48" "Unknown","32" "Error","64" "Critical","80" "Emergency","96" "N/A","24" "Information","28" Status Name signifies the status of the object as determined by the dfmmonitor.

Hi Geert,      Engg is actively working on this and have found some root causes as well. To reconfirm the same and also to understand, that you are also impacted by the same problem can you help us answer the questions below ? What is the value of option dpMaxFanInRatio What is the value of option dpDynamicSecondarySizing Are you provisioning the secondary (Backup) Are you provisioning the tertiary (Mirror) What type of job are you seeing failures for (relationship creation or transfer/on-demand or scheduled backup/mirror) Are you using an OSSV system Is dedupe enabled on their volumes How many source volume are being backed up. Can you give the output of the job that failed dfpm job detail <job id> Regards adai ... View more

Hi Jean-Christophe,                             The reason is in case of dynamic Secondary sizing it looks like we are using the projected size(the value of the options pmOSSVDirSecondaryVolSizeMb) and not the actual size of thesnapvault destination  volume for Volume SnapMirror Destination volumes. For OSSV destination volume we always create aggr size volume if we have free space as per the value of the option pmOSSVDirSecondaryVolSizeMb. Can you set the value of this options to the size of the secondary volume created for OSSV destination volume ? BTW I have created  bug711018 for the same can you create a case and add to it ?

Hi Muhammad,      Thanks for the sample/ template of the report that you are looking for. But unfortunately we will not create it in powershell, instead in perl to make the script OS agnostic. We will post a working script some time later mid next week. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Muhammand,      The script is only in perl, for the sole reason that its OS agnostic and we can leverage it at multiple customer. If you want the same in powershell you will have to write your own using the logic of the perl script. The more ROI is on perl than powershell at least for the large adoption of this script.

Hi Sean,      As I said earlier, whenever there is a deficiency in the api, we use the cli to collect some monitoring data. In order to do that we need ssh capability to login to the controller and cli capability to execute this command. Long time back during DOT 7G a colleague and I worked on this for a large NetApp customer. At that time we created a KB1011412.  Though we titled it as ReadOnly strictly speaking its not readonly as it has system-cli capabilities. Regards adai ... View more
