Is this a global option on the dfm server? Yes, it’s a global options. If i set it, does it apply to all OSSV host transfers? No. It applies only to those which hit this failure and not used always though. Regards adai ... View more

Check for the re-created relationship in the external relationship tab and try to import it. If the deleted relationship qtree is part of the dataset remove it from the dataset uisng dfpm dataset relinquish command. Then do a dfm host discover on the source and destination filer and wait for few miutes for the snapvault discovery to complete. Then import them back to dataset. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Low,      Can you give more details like the verison of DFM server ? OSSV version ? As a matter of fact ontap doesnt support a snapshot name with slash (/). Also dfm does the following. Snapshot name will have ASCII alphabets, ASCII numbers, underscore '_', hyphen '-', plus sign '+' and a dot '.'. All other characters will be converted to 'x'. So it explains why you snapshot names are with xx. Regards adai ... View more

This is because your provisioning policy says it must be a raid_dp aggr, whereas the existing aggr is not meeting the policy. Either remove the raid_dp from the provisioning policy or add an aggr which meets the prov policy. Regards adai ... View more

Hi pete,      The default value for all the MaxRel options is 50.Also there are other situation when we create a new volume. For others adding what I know based on my experience. So even if you have a Fan-In ration of 4 it happens only when the following conditions are satisfied Maxrelspersecondaryvolume is not exceeded. So in you primary volume you have 51 qtrees then PM will create 51 qtree snapvault relation which will exceed the max rels, so two destination volume will be created. PlatformDedupeLimit is not exceeded. Example, you alread have 2 destination volume becaue of the above scenario, now you add another volume to the same dataset primary, then PM will try to increase the size of the second secondary volume while doing that if  it will exceed the max volume limit for dedupe enabled volume for a given platform, again it will create a 3rd secondary volume and not use the existing 2nd volume. Volume Language  is same for the existing destination volume and the new primary volumes If the volume language of the 3rd primary volume is different from the volume language of the other two primary volume, then PM will create a 4th Secondary volume and not use the same volume. By this you will end up with 4 secondary volume to backup qtree coming from 4 primary volumes inspite of fan-in being 4. Hope this helps. Regards adai ... View more

Hi      There are two type of data stored in the DFM  server. Operation Manager data (stored in sybase database) Performance Advisor data  (stored in flat files) Operations Manager data is stored in two kinds of tables in the db, one is called non-historic and historic table.The point in time data, is used in generating alerts and shown in all reports and web ui using the non-historic table(except the graphs).Similarly all the graph shown in the web ui, show consolidated or historic data from the historic tables. By default they have 1d,1w,1m,3m and 1y.The data beyond 1y is not shown in webui but they can be accessed using the dfm graph cli.As a matter of fact, none of the data is  purged from the database, esp., the history tables keeps growing and are never purged.So if data for a graph is required beyond 1 year, say 2 years then use the dfm graph cli with the graphname suffixed with 1y and specify the start and end time. Performance Advisor data is stored in flat files and they are purged based on the retention set for each counter group.The collection frequency, retention duration  and the counter group that are enabled for each filer can be seen at the NMC-Performance Data->Setup-Host->Datacollection. Hope this helps and answers your question. Also below is a link to all TR and documents related to DFM in which there is one talking about capacity management and historic data.

Hi Michael,      dfpm dataset relinquish ATLFAS02:/vol/VMDS_TEST1_backup_CDCFAS01_vmds_test1_1/VMDS_TEST1_CDCFAS01_vmds_test1. And once I have done that, set it to ignored, can I then just do a snapvault stop to delete that relationship? Yes. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Michael,      We update a relationship only if there is a backup version that contains the source qtree. In this case, the  root qtree probably does not have any VMware objects so it is not part of any backupversions. Thats the reason it not getting update. The second behaviour of conformance is also expected, what i would suggest is relinquish the relationship from the dataset using the following cli. [root@lnx~]# dfpm dataset relinquish help NAME     relinquish -- mark a relationship as external SYNOPSIS     dfpm dataset relinquish { [ <destination-volume-name-or-id> ] |         [ <destination-qtree-name-or-id> ] } DESCRIPTION     The relationship will be marked as external. Source and     destination objects are left unchanged. [root@lnx~]# After that to prevent it from creating relationship go to NMC and ignore the particular source qtree Regards adai ... View more
