Hi Babar,      You can use the report schedule feature, to schedule the reports and email in any of the supported formats to one or more ppl. The navigation for the same is Control Center-> Reports-> Schedule. The FSRM data is not aggregate ones rather point in time unlike the dfm history for volumes and performance data. Below is the example of a report schedule on a monthly basis. # dfm report schedule list ID     Name                 Report                     Schedule             Enabled ------ -------------------- -------------------------- -------------------- --------   1191 Monthly Aggr         disks-aggr                 Last day of the month Yes # dfm schedule list ID     Schedule Name                       Schedule Description ------ ----------------------------------- ---------------------------------------   1190 Last day of the month               Monthly on day 30 at 0 hours 0 minutes. # Regards adai ...

You can use the below cli to generate your custom event for the script, in DFM. # dfm event generate help NAME     generate -- generate a particular user-defined event SYNOPSIS     dfm event generate [ -t <timestamp> ] <event-name> <source> [ <event-message> ] DESCRIPTION     This command is used to generate custom events.

Hi, You can get the graphs on daily,weekly,monthly,3months,1year from the Ops-Man Web UI. Graphs Beyond 1yr can be got from the dfm graph cli and the cli with help will give you all options. There is no graph for NFS latency or Iops, but there is a report aggregated at d,w,m,y etc. Below are the report names for the same. dfm report | grep -i performance storage-system-performance-summary performance summary of storage system storage-system-NAS-performance-summary NAS performance summary of storage system storage-system-SAN-performance-summary SAN performance summary of storage systems aggregates-performance-summary performance summary of aggregate volumes-performance-summary performance summary of volume volumes-NAS-performance-summary NAS performance summary of volume volumes-SAN-performance-summary SAN performance summary of volume qtrees-performance-summary performance summary of Qtree luns-performance-summary performance summary of LUN disks-performance-summary performance summary of Disks array-luns-performance-summary performance summary of array LUNs vfiler-performance-summary performance summary of vFilers For latency and other counters in graphical way,you will have to Performance Advisor.

Hi Emanuel,      The main usecase or intent of purge history is for purging some spikes in the history graphs so that your trending is fine. I was talking about the option below. [root@lnx186-118 ~]# dfbm option list Option                       Value ---------------------------- ------------------------------ backupDirMonInterval         8 hours backupScriptRunAs discoverNdmp                 Enabled ndmpMonInterval              30 minutes purgeJobsOlderThan           off snapvaultLagErrorThreshold   2 days,  0:00 snapvaultLagWarningThreshold 1 day, 12:00 [root@lnx186-118 ~]# this will purge all dfbm, dfdrm and dfpm jobs older than the days specified. This will reduce your db size only if Backup/Disaster Recover/Protection Manager is used. Else this will be on no help. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Emanuel,      When you move your db you must move three things namely, the db (both monitor.db and monitor.log),the perfdir and the scripts. As a db backup archive based or snapshot based backup contains these there. If all these are not on a LUN or local drive db backup will fail. Now coming to yor question the syntax you used is incorrect. I moved it in a RHEL. [root@lnx~]# dfm datastore setup -d /adai/data -l /adai/data -p /adai/perf -s /adai/script Creating the destination data directories. Required space for data&colon;789 MB, Available space:115 GB Stopping all services and jobs... SQL Anywhere Stop Server Utility Version 10.0.1.3960 Copying database files to /adai/data.

Hi duranti      Are you referring to this ? http://communities.netapp.com/message/31422#31422 If its something else can you post a link to the same. The snapmirror lag and error  thresholds have to be changed in the dfdrm policy and not the dfm options. Here is the steps to do it. Go  to Ops-Mgr WebUI Disaster Recovery Tab and select the view as Volume  SnapMirror Relationsip and click on the Replication policy Column as  show in the pic replication. This will open up the Edit policy page where you will find the options for lag warning and error threshold. By default they are 1.5 days and 2 days respectively. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Kd,      You can add your /vol/myvolume to the dataset having Backup and mirror Policy, as primary member. PM will take care and create 250 Snapvault relationships in the Backup filer and create one Snapmirror relationships in the mirror node. Any further volumes added in the /vol/myvolume is automatically detedted by PM and SV relationships are created. But still PM does not supported the whole volume snap vault of /vol/myvolume backedup  to a single qtree in the destination volume thus creating one SV relationships. Hope I clarified your doubts.

Hi Emanuel,      Pls use the dfm datastore setup command to move the dfm db and its contents. # dfm datastore setup help NAME     setup -- configure DataFabric Manager data on a different location SYNOPSIS     dfm datastore setup [ -n ] [ -f ] { dfm-data-dir | [ -d dbDir ] [ -l dbLogDir ] [ -p perfArchiveDir ] [ -s scriptDir ] [ -r reportsArchiveDir ] [ -P pluginsDir ] } DESCRIPTION     -n specifies that the data present at target location will be used         without copying original data.     -f specifies that the data should be deleted from target location if it is not empty.     dfm-data-dir specifies DataFabric Manager target root directory for data.     -d specifies the new location for database data file.     -l specifies the new location for database transaction log file.     -p specifies the new location for perf data files.     -s specifies the new location for script output data.     -r specifies the new location for report archival data.     -P specifies the new location for Storage System configuration plugins.     Example: dfm datastore setup /opt/dfmdata/              dfm datastore setup -d /opt/dfm/data/ -p /opt/dfm/perf/ -s /opt/dfm/script/. # This will take care of starting or stopping the service if required.

Hi Abhishek, TR 3505 says it a 3TB which is correct. As 2040 is a better platform than 2050, based on TR 3505. This looks like a bug to me. If you have a 2040 you can test this, with 7.3.2 Regards adai ... View more

Hi      To upgrade from, 3.7.1 to 4.0 first create a backup using the below command in your 3.7.1 machine dfm backup create. This will take few minutes to hours depending on your database and perfdata size. Now on the Win2K8 install 4.0 I would suggest you to install 4.0D12 instead. Copy the backup created in 3.7.1 to Win2k8 either directly or by using some cifs share or shared drive. Then on the 4.0D12 machine run the below commad. dfm backup restore <backup filename with the location> This will do an upgrade of the dfm db to 4.0 which will take time as there is lot of changes,Also if you have netcache being monitored by dfm they will be removed, only then the upgrade can happen to 4.0D12 Else you will have to stay on 3.7.1.As 3.8 removed the support for Netcache . Also you would need to take care of space requirements in your new 4.0D12 machine as you would require twice(less but to be on safer side) the amount of storage you required in 3.7.1. As 4.0D12 will create Peformance Advisor trend files and upgrade some counter groups and widen some counter groups. Also note that the db back does not contain the following,copy the same from old to new server if you have or had info in them. The following folders are not part of the archive-based backup: Reports This folder contains the output of scheduled reports. You can use the dfm options list reportsArchiveDir command to locate the reports folder. Data  This folder contains the DataFabric Manager database backups and the monitordb.db and monitordb.log files. You can use the dfm options list databaseBackupDir command to locate the data folder. Note You should not copy monitordb.db and montirodb.log files to DataFabric Manager server 4.0 This is required only if you would want to copy your old backup to the new server.. DataExport This folder contains the output of dfm data export command. You can use the dfm options list dataExportDir command to locate the export folder. Regards adai ... View more
