Neither the checks nor the CLI command sysconfig -c were able to find failed disks on a Ontap 8.2.4 (7mode) system. aggr status –f reports: „Broken disks (empty)“. The only way to detect them was sysconfig -a, returning a long list, similar to the one below: … 134L84 : NETAPP X414_HV60A15 NA03 560.0GB 520B/sect …
The log file checker for the EMS log has seen a few improvements:
look behind can now be set in minutes, hours or days (e.g. --lookback=2h, evaluates entries from the last 7200 seconds) you can now use the switch --authfile to point to a credentials file so that username and password don’t have to be written in …
The Input-/Output Operations per Second (IOPS) or Operations per Second (OPS) can be monitored on various levels:
System Operations (total_ops) This is why the counter total_ops in the PerfSys check exists. Unfortunately, this counter is deprecated and will no longer be supported by NetApp in new versions of DataONTAP. …
Multi-tenant reporting We are planing to develop a number of checks for multi-tenant monitoring for NetApp, which is used to give internal or external clients (tenants) access to volumes or entire _Storage Virtual Machines _(SVMs).
Space and IOPS per tenant The checks calculate the disk space and IOPS any given client …
PerfDisk measures the disk_busy metric. The check can be restricted to a single aggregate with the switch ‑‑raid_group. We are adding a new switch that allows for a different way of monitoring: ‑‑average Just like with PerfCpu, using the ‑‑average switch compares the average value of all instances, i.e. disks, to the …
Not long ago we received an email from one of our very dedicated clients asking if it were possible to design a check that could verify if a server can be pinged from a vserver via jumbo frames. He was kind enough to attach a CLI command, which he used for testing purposes: network ping ‑vserver nfs ‑destination esx1 …
