Hi Scott, For snapmirror relationships you need to specify the preferred interface as follows. Dfm host set src_filer hostPreferredAddr1 = bkp_vlan ip addr of the source filer. Similary on the destination filer too. Dfm host set dst_filer hostPreferredAddr1 = bkp_vlan ip addr of the dst filer Regards adai ... View more

Hi,      There is one more options which says the time interval after which the event must be generated if the condition of volumefull threshold is still true.The option name is volFullThresholdInterval, this is basically tries to avoid false positives. For example if this thresholdinterval is set to 1h from the default value of zero(which is generate immediate.).If the condition of full threshold exceeds and stays equal to or above this value for the specified time then the event is generated. By default the diskusage is collected in DFM once every 30minutes so if the interval is 1 hour, then the event of volume full is only generated if both sample values is more than the threshold.

Hi Michael,      Is this a Linux or windows DFM server ? How many jobs run in a day on a average in your DFM server ? 500 or 1000 ? etc ? Regards adai ... View more

Hi Abishek,      Isnt higher platform to lower platform supported only starting from 8.1 ? Correct me if I am wrong. Regards adai ... View more

This is based on the last sample value got from SNMP walk of the filer. Its just the point in time data and not metrics or calculation involved. Regards adai ... View more

Do keep in mind, the ontap release between 7.3 and 8.1 includes 8.0 which does not support datamotion. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Richard,      Can you create a case with NGS for the issue you are facing ? Regards adai ... View more

Hi Richard, Scheduled snapshots, (hourly.0,hourly.1) etc.BTW what are you exactly trying to do. Are you looking at what all can be scheduled on a filer or What OnCommand or DFM schedules on a filer ? Regards adai ... View more

Hi Richard,      Then for now, until you finish the initial seeding, have only provisioning policy attached to the dataset and not the protection policy of MIRROR.So that PM would create snapmirror relationship.Once initial seeing is done, you can import all these snapmirror relationship into your dataset.

HI Maico, The only problem is, if the volume is over deduplicated, and if you wish to un-dedupe the volume would not be able to hold the data.Thats the only downsized I know of. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Mark,      It may need some additional logging to find out, why its doing so. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Modi,      - I am not sure of the enviroment this test failover script is to run under (^DP_ or ^DFDRM) ? Its under DP. - The failover commands are "dfpm dataset" based but resync are at the volume level "dfdrm" based ? Yes, failback is using dfdrm.  In the below link the procedure is explained in detailed(failback). http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/oncommand/relcore50/pdfs/pdp_work.pdf Under "Disaster recovery example workflow"->"Manual failback using the command line interface" - Can we use a script to clone the most recent snapshot on the destination volumes followed by creating shares to the cloned path such that DR can be tested without affect RPO ? - It seems like the use case for "Failover Test" scripts within Protection Manager was to inject pre and post functionality but not cloning ? Your cloing can be done as part of pre or post functionality. Regards adai ... View more

Is there any one particular capability that you want to prevent ? Also what are the functionality of Operation manager are you planning to use ?Like is it only Operation Manager ? or Performance Advisor or Protection Manager or Provisioning Manager ? Regards adai ... View more

Can you pls share your case nubmer ? So that we can follow it up internally ? Regards adai ... View more

Hi Mark,             You set it in the CLI as follows dfm options set dpOSSVDirMaxSvRelsPerSecondaryVol=<value> Regards adai ... View more

If you want to control one volume per OSSV host. Then you should add one OSSV host at a time to the dataset and set the dpOSSVDirMaxSvRelsPerSecondaryVol to nubmer of drives or mount points that you are backing up. so the example, if you have 5 ossv host with each one having 1 2 3 4 and 5 drives. add ossv host1 and set the dpOSSVDirMaxSvRelsPerSecondaryVol=1 then PM will provision 1 secondary volume for this ossv host. add ossv host which has 2 drives and set the dpOSSVDirMaxSvRelsPerSecondaryVol=2 then PM will provision 1 secondary volume for this ossv host. And so on. regards adai ... View more

Yes. its applicable in case of 4.0 also. Regards adai ... View more

Hi,      You are affected by bug 455688. Pls raise a case and add your case to the bug. Regards adai ... View more

It takes 1 hour for DFM to mark-delete an object from its database.If its part of a dataset then DFM never marks it as deleted. So you may have to remove those volumes from dataset membership so that dfm discovers the new volumes. Regards adai ... View more
