Currently you cant specifically move only selected volumes in PM. PM on automatically reaching the threshold of aggr full will rebaseline the whole relationship from primary to next availble rp. I am not sure if your work around will work. Regards adai ... View more

Yes, use the command "snapvault snap unsched" on the filer  secondary volume to delete the stale entries. Regards adai ... View more

The question here is if your storage systems are running ontap 7.3.1 and if you are using or planning to upgrade to 3.8 then you must upgrade your Data Ontap Version on your storage systems to the mentioned patch releases to fix this issue. Regards adai ... View more

AFAIK OSSV also uses ndmp threads. ... View more

Currently this is not fixed in ANY version of ONTAP. This is fixed in ontap versions 7.3.1.1P4D2 and 7.3.1.1P6D6 If you are planning to upgrade to 3.8 pls upgrade to 3.8D3 or above. Regards adai ... View more

1. I use Protection Mgr and Provision Mgr to create volumes, and Replication Policy, etc. Will anything break if someone goes into the NetApp controller CLI and adjusts the primary and secondary volume size? The conformance run will deduct and make the necessary changes. 2. If I create dedupe volumes for primary and secondary and try to have Protection Mgr without Provision Mgr maintain the replication, can i resize the primary and secondary without breaking Protection Manager and not cause any reinitialize? If the size of the primary is greater than your secondary, the next backup would fail and dataset would become non-conformant. Needs a user confirmation to either rebaseline to any existing resource pools in the dataset or to make the dataset conformant you would have to resize you secondary volume appropriately. Also, what functionality do I lose by not having Provisioning Manager with Protection Manager. If I create my own dedupe volumes and have Protection Mgr without Provision Mgr maintain the replication, what features of Protection Manager are not available? Since the volumes are created outside protection manager protection manger would not be able to resize the secondary based on primary's growth or shrinkage .AFAIK nothing else you would loose in terms of functionality. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Steve, Does this mean that Protection Manager cannot resize any volume that it does not create? yes. What happens with changes? If the secondary volume is changed outside Protection Manager, will this action break Protection and cause existing replications to fail? Will this require a reinitialization? Like what changes ? can you elaborate ? It sounds like in general, it's a bad idea to manually create dedupe volumes for Protection Manager. What happens if the customer uses a temporary license for Provisioning Manager. When the temp Provisioning license expires, will Protection Mgr be able to resize the volume if needed? Yes. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Steve,      I just wanted to let you know that,resizing the secondary volume(destination volume backup or mirror) doesn't need provisioning manager license. If they are provisioned by protection manger.In your case resizing of the secondary volume is required as this is a imported volume.(i.e. created by user and not by protection manager).Having provisioning manager license will also not help in your case.(i.e. when the secondary is created by user.)

Hi SMC, You are correct. But what the question and answers about how/ which is the custom threshold value for inode related events. Yes, vol 90% full is not necessarily inode full. To generate an inode full or nearly full event the value set for vol full and nearly full is used. Say for example by default vol full is 90% and nearly full is 80%. Inode full or nearly full event is generated when 80 % or 90% of the available inode in the volume are consumed. It has nothing to do with the fullness of the volume. Even if the volume is 10% full and you have exhausted 80% of the inode since there were small Small files in that 10% full volume you still get the event inode nearly full. Hope you are clear how it works. Regards adai ... View more

Generally upgrades takes care of such things like not changing the options. but this was an event newly added in 3.8. regards adai ... View more

Hi  Lee,      Ops-Mgr monitoring snapmirror generates an event for the relationships like this for lag. [root@lnx]# dfm eventtype list -C sm.lag Event Name                                         Severity     Class -------------------------------------------------- ------------ ------------------ 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@]# What you are showing is the PA threshold, I dont thing so both are same. AFAIK That threshold is for the counter value and has nothing to do with the snapmirror lag that you have attached. Can you try creating an alert in Ops-Mgr for this event i mentioned above and see you get the event. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Gopinath,      There is no way to disable the timestamps from the snapshot names.The time is in UTC format. Regards adai ... View more

All these data is availble in the dfm db. We will be creating a script plugin and a custom report to create one more column  and populate the new column, which would be the sum of all lun size contained in the volume. I will give you a script plugin by end of my day tomorrow. Regards adai ... View more

Hi Bob, Would the script with this columns suffice. Volused VolAvailable VolTotal SumofTotalLunsize  Overcommit%? Regards adai ... View more

Hi Bob,     We dont have a volume overcommit report becasue of lun thin provisioning. Currently we don have it only @ qtree level and aggr overcommit @ volume level. May be we can create a script plugin to create a report of that sort. Regards adai ... View more

hi  gopi have you turned the following options. pmUseSDUCompatibleSnapshotNames to yes. that will create snapshot with _ instead of dot. we had issue of windows cifs share truncating the name when special character dot was used. there is no way to revert back to 3.7 snapshot naming  AFAIK. Also you can turn of all opitons but not the timestamps from the snapshot name. Will try to find out if there is any work around and let you know. regards adai ... View more

Hi Sean,               Can you check if all monitors are running? By dfm service list. Do check for the event "Management Station: Not Enough Free Space" because of which monitoring could have been stopped. Also check if the volume is not deleted ? If it is deleted, data is not colleted for such objects. regards adai ... View more

Hi      In generall if you  dont want to b alerted from dfm you can delete the same. Say volume, filer, aggr, dfm stops monitoring the same and doesnt generate events. The cli to delete is dfm volume delete dfm filer delete dfm aggr delete. Once again if you wish to monitor and alter about the same objects you can add them back to dfm. Using dfm volume add, etc. Unfortuantely there is no such cli for interface for delete or add. But dfm does not generate continoulsy events for the object unless the status changes from what is now. So you would get this down event only once on the first discovey of the interface, after that not. Or one more solution is to change the severity of the event.But this will affect all interace, even the active one. [root@lnx~]# dfm eventtype list -C if.adminStatus Event Name                                         Severity     Class -------------------------------------------------- ------------ ------------------ interface-status:down                         Error        if.adminStatus interface-status:testing                      Normal       if.adminStatus interface-status:up                           Normal       if.adminStatus interface_status:unknown                      Normal       if.adminStatus [root@lnx ~]# [root@lnx ~]# dfm eventtype modify -v information  "interface-status:down" Modified event "interface-status:down". [root@lnx ~]# dfm eventtype list -C if.adminStatus Event Name                                         Severity     Class -------------------------------------------------- ------------ ------------------ interface-status:down                         Information  if.adminStatus interface-status:testing                      Normal       if.adminStatus interface-status:up                           Normal       if.adminStatus interface_status:unknown                      Normal       if.adminStatus [root@lnx~]# Regards adai ...
