Hi Marcin,      You are right, the compatibility mode would not be required as in case of OC UM 5.1 we use sybase version 11 where the sybase issue is fixed. OC UM 5.0.X was using Sybase ASA version 10 whereas OCUM 5.1 is using 11. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Thomas,      Can you get a dfm diag output for the controller in question ? Pls check the following FAQ on what port are mandatory for OCUM to work and discover. Also its not recommended to install other products on which OCUM is running as you may hit port conflicts. https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMM1278650/html/faq/index.shtml#_3.14 Regards adai ...

Hi Ryan, I strongly recommend you to go to OCUm 5.0.2. Now DFM/OCUM doesn't discover relationship that are created in the vfiler context.  Can you get the snapmirror status o/p for the relationship that you dont see in dfm from your filer ? PM supports and creates VSM/QSM/SV/OSSV relationship in all these topologies. Filer -> Filer Filer -> vFiler vFiler -> Filer vFiler -> vFiler OSSV->filer OSSV->vfiler In all this cases PM creates the relationship and does the updates using filer interfaces (not the vfiler interfaces). Also PM discovers existing relationship of the above topology only if they are created using filer interfaces and not vfiler interfaces. PM creates and manages SnapMirror/SnapVault relationships that are from physical Filer to physical Filer only It will not discover a relationship that originates or ends on a vFiler. However, PM can handle primary or secondary volumes that belong to a vFiler. In a storage service, you can use a pre-existing secondary vFiler or you can ask OnCommand UM to create a secondary vFiler from a template (new in OC UM 5.0). But, OC UM will create a relationship from physical Filer to physical Filer even for the volumes that belong to a vFiler. PM does not officially support vFiler DR but there is a plug in available to support this that was created outside of the PM . see here https://communities.netapp.com/groups/nmc-vfiler-plugin?view=documents PM does not support vFiler DR + snapmanager product + protection manager due to Snapdrive for Windows and Unix not being able to handle two identically named resources returned by Protection Manager Please let me know if you have any questions Regards adai ...

Hi Ryan,      These are event that are used to notify if a VSM relationship that was already being monitored got dropped from DFM and got discovered again. BTW you should upgrade to 5.0.2 the GA release. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Scott,      If its just head swap, then you dont have to go through the arduous process of PM, but if you are going to manally VSM  the data from FilerA to FilerA_new then yes you will have to go though the pains. I am attaching a doc that I wrote on how to keep PM dataset happy when primary is migrated. Hope it helps you. ... View more

Hi Brian,      If I remember correctly, your OCUM server is running on Windows ? I think you may be a victim of bug 551560.

Hi,       All you have to do is the following. For all your Volume SnapMirror relationships pls make an entry in your snapmirror.conf file as follows. comp_con=multi(192.168.98.12,192.168.98.13) comp_con:comp_vsm_src fas-sim-2:comp_vsm_dst compression=enable - - - - - Import those relationships to PM Mirror dataset. Make sure you dont have the option hostPerferredAddr1 set on your filer otherwise on first update from PM the compression options will be erased from snapmirror.conf. Read this public report for the same which affects compression option http://support.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=381872 Regards adai ... View more

Hi Phil,       This import will work fine, as during import we don't check for the volume block types. Pls find my response inline to your questions. 1.Will Protection Manager even attempt the import? Yes, as during import we don’t check for block types. If it does, will it: take the existing relationship and add the Vault? Yes, it will accept the mirror and create the vault if it’s already not created Rebuild the entire relationship end-to-end, including new volumes and rebaselining? It will not rebuild the entire relationship. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Christian,      Yes, even after import of the secondary volume the DSS will work as long as you move the relationship within the same PM server. As DSS is a flag that is assigned to all Protection Manager provisioned volumes as long the flag is valid, DSS will work irrespective of import or not. But if you import a relationship in which the secondary volume was not provisioned by PM then DSS will never work, unless you migrate the same using Secondary Storage Migration which will provision a new secondary volume and add the DSS flag from when DSS will start to work.
