Connect and Create LUNs with SnapDrive

-
First you need to install SnapDrive utility from Netapp support Page on the server for which you are creating and managing the LUN.

Go to Server Manager -> Storage -> SnapDrive -> iSCSI Management -> Establish Session

This wizard will guide you through creating an iSCSI session between a host system initiator  and The storage System.

 1. Establishing Session Wizard.


2. Add the IP address of the Vfiler/SVM you wanting to connect to


3.From the top section Select the IP address of your dedicated iscsi connection on your virtual machine, This should be on same network as your storage vfiler or SVM.


4.

5.Summary

 6. Confirmation



Now we will need to create disk i.e Lun by clicking "Disks" at the left menu and click on Create Disk.

1.


2. Select your SVM or VFiler or type IP address of the same and click on Add, Select the volume on which you want to create LUN , And type the Lun Name and description

3. LUN Type : 

 Dedicated Lun : Can be accessed by only one system
Shared : A shared disk is used with Microsoft cluster services only, Select "Shared" if you are using this disk as a Microsoft Cluster Services physical disk resources.

4. Select LUN Properties:

5. Select Initiator: 

6. Initiator Group management:


7. Finish

Ones LUN provisioning is completed , Check my computer, you will be able to see the E Drive that we have created.

 Now you can manage the LUN from Client site as well.

SNMP Configuration on Brocade Switches

-
SNMP Manager   The SNMP Manager communicates to the devices within a network using the SNMP protocol. Typically, SNMP Managers manage networks by monitoring the network parameters and optionally setting parameters in managed devices.  SNMP Agent   The SNMP agent resides in the managed devices in the network and collects data from these devices. The SNMP Agent stores the data and sends these when polled by an SNMP Manager. The agent can also automatically alert the SNMP Manager about events by using specially configured triggers called traps.  Management Information Base   SNMP Agents in the managed devices store the data about those devices in a database called a Management Information Base (MIB).  The MIB lets the SNMP manager know what each value the device returns means. The MIB structure determines the scope of management access allowed by a device.   Basic SNMP operation Every Brocade device carries an agent and management informati...

Netapp Clustered Ontap CLI Pocket Guide On this page I will be constantly adding Netapp Clustered Data Ontap CLI commands as an easy reference Pocket Guide Most  Clustered Ontap  commands work in 8.x, however some require 9.x (I have created a note if they require a 9.x version) (Updated 04-Oct-2018) MISC set -privilege advanced (Enter into privilege mode) set -privilege diagnostic (Enter into diagnostic mode) set -privilege admin (Enter into admin mode) system timeout modify 30 (Sets system timeout to 30 minutes) system node run – node local sysconfig -a (Run sysconfig on the local node) The symbol ! means other than in clustered ontap i.e. storage aggregate show -state !online (show all aggregates that are not online) node run -node <node_name> -command sysstat -c 10 -x 3 (Running the sysstat performance tool with cluster mode) system node image show (Show the running Data Ontap versio...

Netapp 7-Mode Architecture

-
Image
7-Mode is made up of two controllers that is also called HA Pair (High availability Pairs) Controller : Controller (also referred to as Node) is the brain of Storage System where Operating System (Data ONTAP  Resides) and which deals with Read and Write operations. And it also contain memory, CPU. Disk Shelve: Disk Shelves are connected to the Controller in Daisy-Chained format, Disk shelve contain the actual physical disk on which your data resides. HA cable : The cable which connected two controller is called HA cable which is used for sending Keep alive signal between controllers which is used for Fail-over purpose that we will discussed later. 7 Mode Scalability Limitations: ·          You can have maximum 2 FAS Controllers ·          Disks owned by controller 1 can be accessed by controller 1 only ·          Data can be moved amon...
