OnCommand does auto-discovery which by default is turned on. Do check whats your values for this options. Also when adding a controller, the corresponding subnet is also added, unless you use the -N option in the add command.

Hi Markus,                Giving the steps would be like opening Pandora's box, causing lot of issues for support, unless it comes a product request, I wont be able to post it. That too in a public forum. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Markus,      Import of relationship into a Virtual dataset is not supported. Though there a some convoluted procedure to achieve it, using a combination of API and Cli. The question remains as to the support aspect of it as QA hasn't officially qualified it. Coming to your second question of how to avoid the append of _1 _2 to a volume is not possible, as long as they are in the same dataset. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Uwe,              There are lot of snapshot based reports in OnCommand 5.0 but they are in the operations manager console and not in the oncommand console. Pls take a look at the following GSS course which details on the reporting capability with OnCommand 5.0.For an in-depth training take a look at the GSS course for Reporting with OnCommand 5.0 http://learningcenter.netapp.com/dmsv2/SSORedirectionService?ObjectType=WBT&ObjectID=00232738 lnx:~ # dfm report list | grep -i snapshot   aggregates-snapshot-thresholds snapshot thresholds for all aggregates   aggregates-snapshot-capacity capacity being used by snapshots on aggregates   volumes-snapshot-counts   Number of snapshots in volume   volumes-snapshot-growth   rate of growth of volumes over time   volumes-snapshot-details  Details of snapshots on volumes   volumes-snapshot-policies Snapshot Policies on volumes   volumes-snapshot-autodelete Snapshot Policies on volumes   volumes-first-snapshot    Space used when taking the first snapshot   volumes-first-snapshot-percent Space used when taking the first snapshot   volumes-snapshot-capacity capacity report for all snapshot areas   volumes-snapshot-thresholds thresholds for all snapshot areas   volumes-first-snapshot-thresholds thresholds for first snapshots lnx:~ # Regards adai ...

Hi Stefan,           Firstly I request you to change all you monitoring intervals back to default. Esp the following monitors ? ccTimestamp          Error    1 hour       4 hours      19 Mär 12:39    Normal   19 Mär 12:12 cfTimestamp          Error    3 minutes    5 minutes    19 Mär 13:11    Normal   19 Mär 13:09 hostPingTimestamp Error 2 minutes 1 minute 19 Mär 13:11 Normal   19 Mär 13:10 statusTimestamp  Error 2 minutes 10 minutes   19 Mär 13:11 Normal   19 Mär 13:10 vFilerTimestamp  Error 30 minutes   1 hour   19 Mär 12:52 Normal   19 Mär 12:42 Regards adai ...

There is no built in report, either you can run the command I sent you or create a custom report as you mentioned using the GUI with PrimaryDirectory as the based catalog. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Dey,           Firstly I would like to understand why you need this and what are you trying to solove ? Is this for charge back ? Is it for compliance ? or Auditing ? Here are my response on how some of these can be achieved. 1. Number of disks failed over the x months. An event is generated when ever disk fails, so filtering the events report for given period based on the event type( in our case disk.failed) and Triggered time the month we are looking for. 2. Number of disks added to the filer over the past x months. OnCommand/DFM does not generate an event when a new disk is discovered. So this report may be tricky. 3.Number of volumes created over the past x months As soon as a volume is discovered in OnCommand/DFM by the periodic monitor, fsmon which runs once every 15mintues by default an event is generated called (volume-online). So like the first requirement, we can again use the event history report and filter for the eventype and Triggered time the month we are looking for.But if the volume has gone offline in-between we may see one more online event for a volume. Another reliable way is to use the objcreated timestamp from dfm detail. [root@10 ~]# dfm detail 539487 | grep -i objCreationTimestamp objCreationTimestamp               2011-08-30 15:22:03.000000 [root@10 ~]# But this also has a margin of 15mins error, as we the monitor run once every 15mins. 4.Aggregate utilization in terms of  percentage since x months I think this is already available in form of graphs 5.Number of snapvault lags for more than 50 hours since x months. Below is the custom report that i created. It cant filter for 50 hours, but after exporting this report to xl or something you can do it easily. dfm report create field=PrimaryDirectory.primarysystem,PrimaryDirectory.name,PrimaryDirectory.secondaryqtree,PrimaryDirectory.secondaryvolume,PrimaryDirectory.state,PrimaryDirectory.status,PrimaryDirectory.lag report-id= report-name=Lag_SnapVault long-name=  description=  catalog=PrimaryDirectory display-tab=Quotas user-field-name=:Report Lag_SnapVault created.

Hi,       Yes, OnCommand also has events that are generated based on a protection jobs status. Below are some of the events you may be of interest.

Hi Alex,      In case of dataset all schedule are maintained by the DFM server and if its services are not running then the schedule jobs( mirror and backup) wont be kicked off. But in your case since you have stopped the service on the Primary site and starting the service on the DR site with the same database scheduled backup will happen. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Chan,      IMT is the place to look for. But why are you looking at a old release of DFM like 4.0 ? The current FCS version is 5.0 and GA of 5.0.1 is expected soon, also current GA version of 4.0.2 is also availabe. You should stick to the latest or GA release. BTW, 4.0  is supported on Windows 2008 R2, but not on ESX 4.1 but only till 4.0. where as OnCommand 5.0 is supported on the versions you are looking for. Below is the link to the IMT site. http://support.netapp.com/matrix/enduser/displayResults.do?storageSolution=276&narrowTree=true Regards adai ... View more

As Chris said, either add a local backup schedule to your policy or disabling the lag for the root node by changing the following setting in the policy. Note:This can only be done using cli.
