Hi Peter,      There is no easy way. One place to look at is the audit.log on the controller/filer to see the IP address from which API requests/ cli commands are being sent. Regards adai ... View more

HI Marcel,      In order to take consistent Snapshot, SnapDrive needs to talk to controller that why it needs. The OCUM stored password of the controllers is not used.  The same is only used for Backup filers and not the primary. Regards adai ... View more

BTW in order to view the above screenshot you will need the srm license with is EOA. If you already dont have SRM/FSRM license then you can only get the agent list report via cli. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Cyril,      If you are looking at that granular data, you will have to use the NetApp Managment Console export which allows your to specific a custom period or use the dfm perf data reterive cli to pull data. What you are looking at is the Operation Manager Console reports that only give pre-defined periods like 1d, 1w etc. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Chris,      Can you give little more example of description around what you mean by decommissioned datasets /volumes ? Applying No Protection policy will not help as it doesn't have any retention setting so it wont handle it. One way of doing this is remove the schedule from the dataset or make it none and leave the dataset that the protection policy which has the retention setting will handle it. Regards adai ...

Hi,      Protection Manager supports 2 kinds of dataset, namely Application Dataset. Normal Dataset. Application dataset does the equivalent of snapvault update -s <snapshotname> srcqtree   dst qtree because of which you get the same snapshot on the primary transferred to secondary. Which is required and in your case its the snapshot taken by VSC. Whereas normal dataset does the equivalent of snapvault update srcqtree dst qtree, because of which we get different snapshot on primary and secondary. This is an non-application snapshot taken by Protection Manger. You will have to use any of the SnapManager( as we dont have an integration with VSC and Protection Manger, there is no way to transfer the app consistent snapshots.) Regards adai ... View more

Hi,       As of OCUM 5.1 the cluster config checker tool are removed. Below is the link to the Bugs online. and Release Notes where its documented. Release Notes:https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1120082/html/GUID-61D721B8-0379-448C-AF87-DAB19C38040B.html Bugs Online.:http://support.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=357147 The bugs online in the workaround suggest using config adviser that you found Use the Config Advisor  tool to get the correct information about the interface configuration.

BTW tim, how are you planning to get the application consistent snapshot replicated to your destination ? I suggest you use SnapCreator and Protection Manager Integration to do the same. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Tim,      I suggest you read the work flow guide and also the Get Started in NMC. The screen shot of which I have attached. https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1113681/html/html/frameset.html Regards adai ... View more

Hi,      Shrink after provisioning may not help as it some of the meta data doesn't shrink. If there are some feature that you need and available in a FCS version shouldn't prevent you from adopt that same as long as you have done your internal evaluation/lab runs. Regards adai. ... View more

Hi Brano,      The Capabilities/limitations of Express Editions are documented in the Install Guide. Following are the links to the same. https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1113536/html/html/GUID-D26027EA-0DC9-4C7B-B9AD-7226D401CD0F.html https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1113536/html/html/GUID-7C1D77DF-30F1-4086-B879-A3E6503086B0.html But unfortunately this doesn't give the number of objects that it can monitor with respect to qtree, volume lun etc. If I remember correctly its possible to convert express to standard edition by doing an upgrade and selecting the edition as standard. But since that you are already in 5.1 and there is no other version to which you can upgrade to my suggestion would be the following. Create a dfm backup of the current express edition by running the following cli dfm backup create. Install dfm 5.1 as standard edition. Restore the backup taken in step 1 in the server where dfm is installed as standard edition in step 2. Mean time I will try to find if there are some cli to convert the existing express dfm to standard with out upgrade. Regards adai ... View more

Hi,      As kevin said, the design is that, SnapManager manage the retention of primary snapshots. But SnapCreator being a frame work allow you to customize whether SC or PM to delete the primary snapshot. I am attaching a image where by checking the option " Protection Manager Responsible for deleting Snapshot on Primary" the retention of primary snapshots are manged by PM and not SC. Regards adai ...

The Max dir event and autogrow events in DFM is not by polling, instead SNMP traps from controller to DFM are converted as dfm events. So in order to get these events triggered in dfm you will have to set DFM server as SNMP trap host in the controller. Regards adai ... View more

Hi,           Unfortunately, there is no cli to modify the retention settings. Instead you will have to use the NMC UI as described in the TR. Also find the link to a previous thread where the same is discussed. https://communities.netapp.com/message/52514#52514 Regards adai ... View more

Hi,     In what mode is your DFM 5.1 running ? 7-Mode or Cluster-Mode ? If cluster- mode you dont have a way to change your retention setting. If its 7-Mode refer to section 14 14 Data Collection. In the following TR. http://media.netapp.com/documents/tr-4090.pdf Regards adai ... View more
