<b>How a failure is detected ? What would be the plan of action after a failure of site ?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
When there is complete site failure the surviving storage controller cannot distinguish between site failure or just a network partition. Here come the tie breaker in to picture which needs to be deployed in a separate data center which helps the surviving controller to decide what to do next.<br />
<br />
<b>Note:</b> If the third data center is not available and Tie-Breaker cannot be implemented the storage controller takes no action and the storage administrator needs to do manual forced takeover of the storage resources on the surviving controller. ( Imagine you have only a production and DR site and don't have a third site), scratching your head where to deploy TIE-BREAKER setup a server in your office and install REDHAT (Tie breaker runs on Redhat Linux ) which will monitor your both sites or data center and instruct your MetroCluster what to do in the event of a failure.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Netboot</b> is a
procedure that can be used as an alternative way to boot a NetApp Storage
system from a Data ONTAP software image that is stored on a HTTP or TFTP
server. Netboot is typically used to facilitate specific recovery scenarios.
Some common scenarios are; correcting a failed upgrade, repairing a failed boot
media, and booting the correct kernel for the current hardware platform.<o:p></o:p></div>

Where we can Netboot a controller via a TFTP or HTTP server
and then perform the repair of the root volume using WAFL_IRON & WAFL_CHECK<o:p></o:p></div>

Now run WAFL_check or wafliron on the aggregate that is

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cluster Mode Introduction :- </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Virtualization plays a key role in clustered Data Ontap</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Before server virtualization, system administrators frequently deployed applications on dedicated servers in order to maximize application performance, and to avoid the instabilities often encountered when combining multiple applications on the same operating system instance. While this design approach was effective, it also had the following drawbacks:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• It did not scale well — adding new servers for every new application was expensive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• It was inefficient — most servers are significantly under-utilized, and businesses are not extracting the full benefit of their hardware investment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• It was inflexible — re-allocating standalone server resources for other purposes is time consuming, staff intensive, and highly disruptive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Server virtualization directly addresses all three of these limitations by decoupling the application instance from the underlying physical hardware.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Multiple virtual servers can share a pool of physical hardware, allowing businesses to consolidate their server workloads to a smaller set of more effectively utilized physical servers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Additionally, the ability to transparently migrate running virtual machines across a pool of physical servers reduces the impact of downtime due to scheduled maintenance activities.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clustered Data ONTAP brings these same benefits, and many others, to storage systems. As with server virtualization, clustered Data ONTAP enables you to combine multiple physical storage controllers into a single logical cluster that can non-disruptively service multiple storage workload needs. With clustered Data ONTAP you can:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Combine different types and models of NetApp storage controllers (known as nodes) into a shared</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">physical storage resource pool (referred to as a cluster).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Support multiple data access protocols (CIFS, NFS, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, FCoE) concurrently on the same storage cluster.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Consolidate various storage workloads to the cluster. Each workload can be assigned its own Storage Virtual Machine (SVM), which is essentially a dedicated virtual storage controller, and its own data volumes, LUNs, CIFS shares, and NFS exports.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Support multi-tenancy with delegated administration of SVMs. Tenants can be different companies,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">business units, or even individual application owners, each with their own distinct administrators whose admin rights are limited to just the assigned SVM.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Use Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities to manage resource utilization between storage workloads.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Non-disruptively migrate live data volumes and client connections from one cluster node to another.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Non-disruptively scale the cluster out by adding nodes. Nodes can likewise be non-disruptively removed from the cluster, meaning that you can non-disruptively scale a cluster up and down during hardware refresh cycles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Leverage multiple nodes in the cluster to simultaneously service a given SVM's storage workloads.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• This means that businesses can scale out their SVMs beyond the bounds of a single physical node in</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">response to growing storage and performance requirements, all non-disruptively.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Apply software and firmware updates, and configuration changes without downtime</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cluster Networking:-</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ports are the physical Ethernet and Fibre Channel connections on each node, the interface groups (ifgrps) you can create to aggregate those connections, and the VLANs you can use to subdivide them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A logical interface (LIF) is essentially an IP address that is associated with a port, and has a number of associated characteristics such as an assigned home node, an assigned physical home port, a list of physical ports it can fail over to, an assigned SVM, a role, a routing group, and so on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A given LIF can only be assigned to a single SVM, and since LIFs are mapped to physical network ports on cluster nodes this means that an SVM runs, in part, on all nodes that are hosting its LIFs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Routing tables in clustered Data ONTAP are defined for each Storage Virtual Machine. Since each SVM has it’s own routing table, changes to one SVM’s routing table does not have impact on any other SVM’s routing table.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">IPspaces are new in Data ONTAP 8.3, and allow you to configure a Data ONTAP cluster to logically separate one IP network from another, even if those two networks are using the same IP address range.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">IPspaces are a mult-tenancy feature that allow storage service providers to share a cluster between different companies while still separating storage traffic for privacy and security.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every cluster includes a default IPspace to which Data ONTAP automatically assigns new SVMs, and that default IPspace is probably sufficient for most NetApp customers who deploy a cluster within a single company or organization that uses a non-conflicting IP address range.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Broadcast Domains are also new in Data ONTAP 8.3, and are collections of ports that all have access to the same layer 2 networks, both physical and virtual (i.e., VLANs).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every IPspace has it’s own set of Broadcast Domains, and Data ONTAP provides a default broadcast domain to go along with the default IPspace. Broadcast domains are used by Data ONTAP to determine what ports an SVM can use for it’s LIFs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Subnets in Data ONTAP 8.3 are a convenience feature intended to make LIF creation and management easier for Data ONTAP administrators.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A subnet is a pool of IP addresses that you can specify by name when creating a LIF. Data ONTAP will automatically assign an available IP address from the pool to the LIF, along with a subnet mask and a gateway.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A subnet is scoped to a specific broadcast domain, so all the subnet’s addresses belong to the same layer 3 network. Data ONTAP manages the pool automatically as you create or delete LIFs, and if you manually configure a LIF with an address from the pool, it will detect that the address is in use and mark it as such in the pool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DNS Zones allow an SVM to manage DNS name resolution for it’s own LIFs, and since multiple LIFs can share the same DNS name, this allows the SVM to load balance traffic by IP address across the LIFs. To use DNS Zones you must configure your DNS server to delegate DNS authority for the subdomain to the SVM.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">NetApp Flash Pool is an intelligent storage caching product within the NetApp Virtual Storage Tier (VST)
product family. A Flash Pool aggregate configures solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs)
into a single storage pool (aggregate), with the SSDs providing a fast-response-time cache for volumes
that are provisioned on the Flash Pool aggregate.</span></div>

What are Load Sharing Mirrors<br />
<br />
One can create a load sharing mirroring relationship on a FlexVolume which has high read hits. We can have one or more load sharing volumes for a source volume where all the read's would be directed to the destination read-only volumes which acts as load sharing for the source volume.<br />
<br />
To create a load Sahring volume we have to choose -type parameter as DP, Now i have volume Manufacturing where i will be creating two load sharing volumes (Mirror1 & 2)<br />
<br />
Nayab_C01::> volume create -vserver vs0 -volume Manufacturing_mirror1<br />
-aggregate aggr2 -size 3GB -type DP<br />
<br />
Creating one more load sharing mirror volume<br />
<br />
Nayab_C01::> volume create -vserver vs0 -volume Manufacturing_mirror2<br />
-aggregate aggr2 -size 3GB -type DP<br />
<br />
After we have created Load Sharing mirror volume we have to establish relationship with the designated volume to direct all READ'S to the load sharing volumes and when configuring Snapmirror we have to choose -type as LS<br />
<br />
<br />
Nayab_C01::> snapmirror create -source-path //vs0/Manufacturing<br />
-destination-path //vs0/Manufacturing_mirror1 -type LS<br />
<br />
[Job 171] Job is queued: snapmirror create the relationship with destination<br />
[Job 171] Job succeeded: SnapMirror: done<br />
<br />
<br />
Doing same for mirror2<br />
<br />
Nayab_C01::> snapmirror create -source-path //vs0/Manufacturing<br />
-destination-path //vs0/Manufacturing_mirror2 -type LS<br />
<br />
[Job 201] Job is queued: snapmirror create the relationship with destination<br />
[Job 201] Job succeeded: SnapMirror: done<br />
<br />
Once we had the relationship established now we have initialize the baseline copy for Load Sharing<br />
<br />
Nayab_C01::> snapmirror initialize-ls-set //vs0/Manufacturing<br />
<br />
[Job 211] Job is queued: snapmirror load-share initialize for source //vs0/Manufacturing<br />
<br />
<br />
Now we will have all our READ's redireced to the loadsharing destination volumes<br />
<br />
Things to Remember :-<br />
<br />
1) A load sharing volume should be mounted under the same SVM namespace as the source volume<br />
<br />
2) Load Sharing volume is not supported for Infinite Volume<br />
<br />
3) Load Sharing mirrors should be created on different aggregates and accessed by different node in the cluster to achieve load balancing<br />
<br />
4) NFSv4 clients are not supported with read-only load-sharing mirrors, Inorder all the traffic from NFSV4 clients will be routed to source volume from READ's and WRITE's<br />
<br />
<br />

Recently i have replaced a mother board in a cluster mode system for one of my customer and after replacing i have booted the controller and observed it booted in to 7-Mode then immediately realized that i need to change the BOOTARG setting<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>bootarg.init.boot_clustered true </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cluster mode needs a specific programmable ROM (PROM) environment variable setting to be set as above. Once after i have changed the settings my controller booted in to cluster mode :)</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vfiler also called as virtual filer is a logical partition of network and storage resources in Ontap</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To avail vfiler functionality need to install MULTISTORE license.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Protocols supported :- NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, HTTP, NDMP, FTP, SSH and SFTP</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maximum vfiler's :- 64 vfiler's can be created on a storage controller</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vfiler configuration are saved in volumes/qtrees where they are being created </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Best practice is to have a volume as resource of a vfiler</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Destroying a vfiler won't destroy data instead the volume will be moved to the vfiler0 ( Which is the default vfiler created once license installed ) . Also take note FCP protocol is supported only in vfiler0</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can use DATAMOTION to migrate vfiler </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All the routing information for the vfiler's can be viewed from the /etc/rc of vfiler0</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One can add/delete/move resources like volumes/qtrees and interfaces between vfiler's</span><br />

<br />
<b>To avoid corrupting your file system, it is recommended that you perform graceful shutdowns of switches and Directors. </b><br />
<br />
For Directors running Fabric OS versions prior to 5.1.x, the following procedure describe how to gracefullyshut down a Director:<br />
<br />
1.Verify which CP is the active CP, and log in to the active CP using a Serial Console connection.<br />
<br />
2.On the standby CP, set the slider switch to the off position, or eject the standby CP from the chassis. Thisdisables the standby CP.<br />
<br />
3.Enter the reboot command from the active CP. This will gracefully take down the system.When you see the "Press escape within 4 seconds to enter boot interface" message, press ESC to<br />
<br />
4.suspend the active CP.<br />
<br />
5.Power off the chassis by flipping both AC power switches to "0" (LEDs inside AC power switches shouldturn off). To maintain the ground connection, leave both power cords connected to the chassis and to electrical outlet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>For both switches and Directors running Fabric OS 5.1.0 and later, it is recommended that you use the following graceful shutdown procedures</b><br />
<br />
<br />
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.<br />
<br />
2.Enter the sysShutdown command.At the prompt, type y.<br />
<br />
3.switch:admin> sysshutdownThis command will shutdown the operating systems on your switch.You are required to power-cycle the switch in order to restore operation.Are you sure you want to shutdown the switch [y/n]?y<br />
<br />
4.Wait until the following message displays:Broadcast message from root (ttyS0) Wed Jan 25 16:12:09 2006...The system is going down for system halt NOW !!INIT: Switching to run level: 0INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal Unmounting all file systems.

We all pretty well know every disk will have a universal unique identifier UUID or serial number , but each disk will have a unique name depending on how they are connected to the storage system.<br />
<br />
<b>Note :-</b> Always remember For internal disks, the slot number is zero, and the internal port number depends on the system model.<br />
<br />
First knowing the basics each disk shelf will have bay's to hold the disk<br />
<br />

Now each disk shelf will be identified with a name based on the Shelf ,Bay and the port to which the shelf is connected and we have different methodology for different type of DISK CONNECTION<br />
<br />
<b>For the SAS, Direct Attached </b>type of disk connection the disk name will be based on<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><slot><port>.<shelf ID>.<bay> ( In short i remember it as SPSB ) </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<b>Ex:-</b> Which means say if i have a disk in bay 12 of Shelf 1 which is connected to onboard port A<br />
<br />
<b>My disk ID would be :- 0a.1.12 </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>For the FC-AL, direct-attached </b>type of disk connection the name is based on<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><slot><port>.<loopID> </b><b>( In short i remember it as SPL )</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Ex:- </b>If my disk loop ID is 20 connected to expansion card on slot 8 to port C<br />
<br />
<b>My disk ID would be :- 8c.20</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>For FC-AL , Switch attached </b>type of connection the name is based as below<br />
<br />
<b><switch_name>.<switch_port>.<loopID></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Ex:- </b>If my disk loop ID is 40 connected to port 4 of a switch 4<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>My Disk ID would be :- SW4.4.40</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
