Hi Phil & Reid, The reason I asked for output is I wanted to know the member of the dataset. Are they volume or the qtree itself on the primary.Also the reason I wanted to know is it a source a destination is because in the secondary only volume is a member of the dataset. PM/DFM identifies uniqueness of a volume by FSid which does not change in vol rename. Where as that's not the case with qtree. OK will have it tested and documented for SV and QSM. BTW what is the reason for rename ? What version of DFM are they using ? In OnCommand 5.0 we support the same qtree name as primary in the secondary. Regards adai

Can you get us the output of dfpm dataset list -m <dsname> Is the customer trying to rename the qtrees in source or in destination ? Regards adai

OnCommand 5.0 does this The rate of change of data within a volume by looking at the difference in space utilised between two SnapShots But it does it between the oldest snapshot and the latest Active File System data and not between all snapshots. This is available as volume overwrite rate in reports as point in time and in graphs as history. dfm report view volumes-overwrite-rate. [root@ ~]# dfm graph | grep -i over volume-overwrite-rate volume overwrite rate [root@~]# Regards adai

PM supports vol rename of volume in dataset. As DFM tracks the uniquness of a volume by its FSid and not by name. So feel free to go head and rename your volumes from the filer side. OnCommand/DFM will discover this change within next 15mins and there will be no change in the dataset side/ need for rebaseline with no effects to the existing snapshots or backup version. Regards adai

The snapshot monitor of OnCommand which run once every 30mins will update the info about deleted snapshots and update the backup version also. Regards adai

Hi Simon, There is an out of date event on 24th Jan. Error 18042 SnapMirror: Out of Date 24 Jan 01:56 5053 DRFILER1:/vol_vm_mobapps1d What I also see is that you have changed the default monitoring interval from 30 minutes to 5 minutes for snapmirror monitoring. Pls reset them back to default. snapmirror is a heavy monitor and it does a lot of work. As I can see in the dfm host diag error status for snapmirror monitoring. snapmirrorTimestamp Error 5 minutes 30 minutes 24 Jan 10:50 Normal 24 Jan 10:49 Regards adai

Hi, The issue was reproducible and also root cause found. The suggestion statement is coming from the times of Traditional volumes when spare disks were required to expand the volumes.But with the flexible volume we should rather look at the aggr free space. The second problem is for a vfiler volume we try to get number of spare disk, but disk are child of filer and not vfiler. Thats why you get 0 spare disk. If the volume is from a filer rather than vfiler you will get the suggestion with the sum of the sizes of the spare disks. Regards adai

Hi Todd, In order to restore from the old dataset use the NMC restore wizard. The snapshot can be listed in the new dataset or use the dfpm backup list on the old dataset to see the old backup version. Regards adai

In the volume and aggr full alert we embed the message of how much aggr free space and how many spare disk are available respectively in each case. Is this volume a traditional volume ? I ask because we get the message of spare disk only in case of trad vol. As in order to grow a trad vol you need spare disk. Can you get the output of the following ? dfm event detail for the event id ? dfm version Ontap version of the volume. Regards adai

Hi Simon, can you get the output of following cli for the snapmirror relationship which is lagging ? dfm report view events dfm report view events-history dfm host diag <filer id/ip> for source and destination filer of the snapmirror relationship ? dfm version to know what version of dfm is running.

Hi Francesco, The 5minutes is only for progress events, which gives information like snapmirror.progress and snapvault.progress and not for other messages of jobs. Basically this give how much data is transferred. Can you get the output of dfm backup create -v ? Regards adai

Hi Francesco, These two options will keep the db from growing in size due to the job progress message and retention of old jobs. The first option needs to be set before able to be listed. dfbm options set statusUpdateInterval=5min This will populate the job progress message in protection jobs once every 5min instead of the default 30seconds. dfbm options list purgeJobsOlderThan This will purge all jobs older than the days specified. By this we will reduce the size of the db and you should get some better response times. Btw what version of dfm are you running ? Regards adai

Hi Simon, As kjag said, did your state change from snapmirror out of date to nearly out of date or date ok ? Did the state of your snapmirror every change ? after you ack ? to any of the below other than out of date ? [root@ ~]# dfm eventtype list | grep -i sm.lag snapmirror:date-ok Normal sm.lag snapmirror:deleted Information sm.lag snapmirror:nearly-out-of-date Warning sm.lag snapmirror:out-of-date Error sm.lag [root@ ~]# if not, then until there is a state change a new event and its alert will not be triggered.

There is workaround for the snapvault issue in 5.0 itself. use the options as below. [root@ ~]# dfm option set ndmpDataUseAllInterfaces=1 Changed use all available IP addresses for NDMP data transfer to 1. By default the value of this option is zero or OFF. Regards adai

Hi Pete, Can you elaborate on the special case with example ? "The only special case is if the throttle goes to zero, all running transfers are aborted and the job ends." Let me see if I understand it If a throttle is there as follows. 5PM to 10AM 200kbps 10:01AM to 4:59PM 0kbps So any job starting between 5pm to 10am will have a bandwidth of 200kbps/ number of relationship till it ends.Say if the job started at 9:30 AM and continue beyond 10AM will it stop at 10:01AM as the bandwidth is zero or will it still continue at 200kbps/number of relationship ? Or only Job that starts after 10:01AM will fail due to no bandwidth ? Regards adai
