ZFS shrink and Storage Array snapshot GUID issues - RFE status

Anyone know where the ZFS team is on the RFE's for:
zpool shrink (vdev evacuate)
Allowing zpool guid changes so that you can import a zpool that has been Cloned/snapshot (ShadowImage, Snapmirror, etc) on the same host

Thanks, I am running this Areca 1320 in two other machines and this is the first I am encountering the issue. (hopefully its not the adapter). Nothing seems to want to just die anymore.
Anyhow I noticed these three errors:
errors: Permanent errors have been detected in the following files:
        <metadata>:<0x14f5d>
        <metadata>:<0x14f5e>
        <metadata>:<0x14f5f>Any way for me to correct these? This says metadata, so I am guessing it has something to do with the attributes on the file, like compression etc. So how would I identify which zfs attributes are at issue here? If I can get rid of the three errors I can at least get the array out of the degraded state.

  • VCB/VADP, ESX 4.1 and NetWare vm snapshot backup issue

    Hi!
    If you are running Netware as a guest in VMware ESX 4.1 and are using backup
    software that uses the snapshot feature to backup the guests vmdk then you
    may run into an issue that causes the snapshot to fail. This was just
    documented by VMware on Feb 23 (two days ago) so you may have not seen this
    yet. Here is the url to the VMware kb:
    http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1029749
    The fix is to install the older v4.0 vmware tools into the NetWare guest.

    I have the same problem on my thinkpad T500 after I upgrade the wireless card (intel wifi link 5300).
    For a long time I didn't understand the why of this behavior, but some weeks ago I realise that the problem can solve it hard-locking the wireless card and unlocking after the step: "loading modules".
    For more information this is the complete thread on thinkpad forum that I wrote when I try to solve this issue: http://lnv.lithium.com/t5/T400-T500-and … 870#M26238
    I apologize if you do not understand what I mean, the problem is that I have some difficulties to express myself in English

  • I have a small production client looking to run 1 workstation running Mac Lion 10.7.3 and two work stations running Windows7 64 bit. They will all be talking to the same storage array through 8Gb FC. What is there most cost effective way to do this?

    I have a small production client looking to run 1 workstation running Mac Lion 10.7.3 and two work stations running Windows7 64 bit. They will all be talking to the same storage array through 8Gb FC. What is there most cost effective way to do this?

    Thank you for your help.
    The client has already made the jump to 8Gb including HBA's, switch and RAID Storage.
    The other question will be if they need a seperate Mac Server to run the Meta Data or are they able to use the current Mac they are running to do this?
    The Mac is a 201073 model they say with 12 Dual Core 2.66Mhz processors and 16 GB of Memory. This system is currently doing rendering. It has the XSAN Client but I understand for the solution to work they need to also run XSAN Server on a MDC.

  • Diffrence mailbox GUID and CAS array

    What's the diffrence between Mailbox GUID and CAS Array & What's the benefit for GUID.

    Hi,
    Mailbox GUID is the property of Exchange mailbox and we can think of the mailbox GUID as the primary key for the mailbox. It is a unique value that distinguishes an individual mailbox from all others. Regardless of which Active Directory user account owns
    the mailbox, the mailbox GUID always remains the same as long as the mailbox exists.
    CAS array is an object. It includes all CAS servers in one site and is used for high availability.
    As you know, different from previous Exchange server, all Outlook clients in Exchange 2013 uses Autodiscover to create a new connection point comprised of mailbox GUID, @ symbol, and the domain portion of the user’s primary SMTP address. This is because
    that the simple change results in a near elimination of the unwelcome message of “Your administrator has made a change to your mailbox. Please restart.”

  • Storage Array (EqualLogic) Status: Not Responding in VMM

    We have a customer running SCVMM 2012 SP1, using 2 nodes and the underlying storage is an EqualLogic box.
    Worked fine for a while, but a couple of weeks ago their SCVMM started complaining about failed jobs regarding the storage provider. The error message is:
    Error (2912)
    An internal error has occurred trying to contact the VP-SCVMM01.customer.local server: :a:DestinationUnreachable: :MI RESULT 6:The requested object could not be found..
    WinRM: URL: [http://vp-scvmm01.customer.local:5985], Verb: [GET], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/microsoft/windows/storage/MSFT_StorageSubSystem?ObjectId={1}\\VP-SCVMM01\root/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/Providers\EQL_StorageSubSystem.ObjectId="6019CB11A5A29937571EA5"]
    The handle is invalid (0x80070006)
    Recommended Action
    Check that WS-Management service is installed and running on server VP-SCVMM01.customer.local. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult". If VP-SCVMM01.customer.local is a host/library/update server or a PXE server role then ensure that VMM agent is installed and running.
    The storage provider in SCVMM is listed as "not responding" as is the Array itself.
    Anybody any idea to resolve this?
    The closest thing I could find was this thread, somebody mentions the same problem: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/12038.vmm-2012-sp1-installing-and-configuring-dell-equallogic-ps-series-smp-provider.aspx
    Only difference is that we didn't do any upgrade or change. Based on his comment I would like to remove the storage provider and re-add it but I want to make sure that removing it doesn't break anything for the LUN's or the fact they keep being presented
    to the hosts.

    Hello...
    What version of Dell EqualLogic Host Integration Tools for Microsoft are you using?
    Are you able to manage EqualLogic storage using the SMP Provider from native Windows File and Storage Services in Server Manager?
    Basic troubleshooting steps I would recommend are to restart the "EqualLogic SMP Host Service" - and perhaps also restart "Windows Remote Management (WS-Management)" Service.
    Has anything recently changed on the Dell EqualLogic group - such as admin account credentials, ip address changes, or the introduction of management interfaces?  I would check to ensure that the SMP Provider is properly configured (username, password,
    group ip or management ip, etc...).  You can do this via the Dell EqualLogic PowerShell Tools or via Dell EqualLogic Auto-Snapshot Manager / Microsoft Edition. 
    Here is a useful Deployment and Configuration Guide for using the Dell EqualLogic SMP Provider with SCVMM 2012 SP1: 
    http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20437936.aspx

  • VNX Storage Arrays

    Good Morning!
    Are many folks running OVM 3 with a VNX storage array? I'm trying to flesh out the support status.
    Right now, the paths look great by default in OVS with =multipath -ll=, but they aren't showing as happy to the VNX, apparently because OVS doesn't have PowerPath or any other agents running. I'm not sure if I should be loading up PowerPath or maybe the Unisphere agent inside the OVS or not.
    How are folks configured with their VNX? Have you guys had support issues, either with Oracle or with EMC? How well is failover working for you?
    Thanks for any pointers!

    I very seriously considered VNX about 3 months ago for a Oracle VM project. I ended up going with a ZFS 7420. The ZFS scales a lot better and the jump from a 5300 to a 5500 was far too much in my eyes. Though I will says that EMC got very aggressive in their pricing. More than I thought they would.
    The main reason that I didn't like the VNX was due to powerpath. I've never used a EMC product without using powerpath and powerpath wasn't supported in Oracle VM 3 at the time. It might be now.... I'm not sure. Most storage vendors products work well with the native multipahting features within most systems. EMC is the exception. All this is mute if you're going to use Iscsi or NFS. I personally still prefer FC for databases. I just don't think you can beat it.
    Support for Oracle VM all the way through was very important to me. Not to mention the fact that if you buy Sun/Oracle hardware, support for everything is built in with premier support for systems.

  • Migrate zpools to new storage array

    I am in the process of migrating to a new EMC storage array. I used EMC SRDF to copy all tracks from the current disks to the new disks, so that all new disks look identical except for the actual device path since the WWN is different on the new array. I was hoping I could simply unmask/unmap the old SAN, mask and map the new SAN, and ZFS would be able to import the pools from the new SAN (like you can with veritas), but I didn't take into consideration that the device paths/names would be different and ZFS wouldn't like it. Is there any way to get solaris to see the new ZFS pools that now exist on the the new storage array so that I don't have to mirror and then remove the disks from the pool and pretty much wipeout all of the sync work I've already done with the EMC software?
    Hopefully this makes sense, but please let me know if I need to explain further.

    No issue, works as expected, I just didn't split the synchronization between the old and new devices, so the new disks were still write disabled in EMC land. Once I split the sync, everything imported without a hitch, so it was my stupid mistake.

    # I am not much experdized in Microsoft OS but the issue seems to be related to the Multipath or path repated to the Array. Just want to check anyone has ever came across with such error ? They have access to the external 3Par Array volumes without
    issues. the server is in fact also connected to an HP EVA Array with HP EVA MPIO Dsm installed.
    It may a normal event or error so want to know the full details of the above events and any further actin plan is highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Prodyott

    are these LUNs shared or standalone?
    I don't think it's really wise to have more than one DSM on the same server, so you're mixing the EVA and 3par DSMs and on 2003...
    other than ensuring that HBA firmware and drivers are all up to date and DMS drivers are at the latest, not much else you can do from the host side...maybe update the storport.sys driver to the latest for that OS
    are you sure that the HBAs are in fact supported/compatible with both storage back-ends? what about their driver/firmware/DSM versions - some SANs are very picky when it comes to this stuff, check the interop matrixes to find out
    overall, if you don't need SAN connection to one of these storage back-ends, I suggest you get rid of it and its DSM

  • To print transfer order and storage unit labels in lt31

    1>Is it possible to print Transfer order and Labels simultaneously in tcode LT31(At a time when LT31 is executed
    If yes please guide me the selection parameter in Tcode LT31 and if any configuration required in the background
    2>Is it possible to print Transfer order and storage unit labels automatically when MIGO is posted.what are the settings required
    My client raised a query that before he was able to print both once Migo is posted .But now only trnasfer orders is getting printed but not SU.
    Requesting to help in this issues
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    chandu

    you need to define the print control parameter in the customizing and whether you can print both(SU & TO) is depend on the print code which you specify in the setting under
    LE----WM---Activities-----Define print control
    After MIGO are you transferring the stock to SU managed storage type , as per STANDARD SAP stock goes to 902 which is Non SU managed so here you need to tell us the flow and the storage type where stock goes after MIGO also is that storage type is SU managed or not

  • ZFS 7320c and T4-2 server mount points for NFS

  • SVM - Storage array migration effort

    We have several Solaris servers which have both internal drives not under SVM control and Array based SVM devices built into filesystems.
    We need to do 2 things:
    1) Migrate internal drives to Array based luns
    2) Migrate existing SVM luns to new storage array.
    I found and read through the Admin guide for SVM, and it appears to address "migration" only in relation to creating a mirror for an existing volume.
    What I would like to do is replace (or mirror) the underlying devices of an existing filesystem, not the entire filesystem at the top level.
    Im much more familiar with Linux LVM, where I would add new PV's to an existing VG and use the pvmove command.
    I don't see a similiar capability in Solaris 10 LVM so wanted to check with the more experienced folks on how to proceed with this array migration effort.
    Thanks

    We are moving from an 10+ yr old HDS to a new VNX.
    While EMC can physically move the data, I don't have any way to change the config on the SVM (that I know of) to use the new devices.
    AFAIK I would have to do the migration at the SVM layer in order for the FS to be properly linked to it's underlying LUNS.
    As for the existing FS on the local disk, that can be done by umounting the FS and moving, but I don't see an easy way to migrate the root volume without a rebuild of the root filesystem...

  • I upgraded my 3rd generation ipad to ios 6.0.1 and now am experiencing various issues.  Neither Pages or Numbers will open.  I just see a gray screen that says Pages or Numbers at the top and all of my documents are gone.

    I upgraded my "new ipad" (the 3rd generation I think) to ios 6.0.1 and now am experiencing various issues. 
    1- Neither Pages or Numbers will open.  I just see a gray screen that says Pages or Numbers at the top and all of my documents are gone. The icon that allows me to create a new document also does not appear.  I went to icloud.com to see whether my documents still existed, which brings me to the 2nd problem.
    2- It appears that all of my Pages documents are still on icloud, but all of my Numbers documents are gone.  There were only about 10, but I access 2 of them nearly every day, so this is a big issue for me.
    I went into Settings and all of the icloud information is correct and it "Documents & Data" is on.  When I look at the storage, I see the Pages documents but not the Numbers ones.  The next thing I did was turn my ipad off and back on, but this didn't fix anything.  Since my Pages documents are still on icloud, I then tried to delete the Pages app from the ipad so that I could reinstall it, which resulted in the 3rd problem.
    3- I cannot delete any apps.  I can get all of the icons to shake and the small x IS available, but everything freezes when I click it.  I can't do anything at that point except reset the ipad or wait until it eventually restarts itself.  I've tried this with Pages as well as multiple other apps, all with the same result.  I've also tried downloading a new app (which worked fine) and then deleting that one, but I got the same result.
    3a- A small related issue to this that I am far less concerned about is that when the ipad restarts itself, it comes back on and the screen is really dark and I can barely make out what appears on the screen.  If I enter my password right away, it stays that way until I go into Settings - Brightness & Wallpaper and touch the brightness setting (although I'm not actually changing the setting because it already shows that the brightness is turned up a little over halfway).  If I don't enter my password right away and let it go completely dark, then click the home button, the brightness is fine.
    So now I'm stuck.  My guess is that I will need to restore it, but wanted to check before I take that step.  Unfortunately, my laptop is on its deathbed so I haven't been synching my ipad to it and I fear my Numbers documents are gone forever.  I'd like to try everything I can to fix these issues before doing the restore in hopes that I can get the Numbers documents back.
    Any suggestions for any or all of these problems?

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.
