<s>[INST] Hi Everyone Please tell me about the "Low Space Behavior" job added from Isilon OneFS8.2. [URL] "In situations where the job engine sees the available capacity on one or more disk pools fall below a low space threshold, it engages low space mode. This enables space-saving jobs to run and reclaim space before the job engine or even the cluster become unusable.When the job engine is in low-space mode new jobs will not be started, and any jobs that are not space-saving will be paused.Once free space returns above the low-space threshold, jobs that have been paused for space are resumed." *page24 There is such a description in the above white paper. Is there any reference material that mentions the threshold of this Low Space Mode?Can this threshold be changed? [/INST] Hello takmiyagi, Low space threshold is normally happening when the available capacity falls below 5%. You don¡¯t want to change this as doing so may cause issues with your system.

<s>[INST] I'm fairly new to Networker and have a few questions hopefully someone with more knowledge and experience can help me with. This question is about backing up MS SQL server db's. Suppose there is a MS SQL server with several databases - with some of them in Full Recovery mode, and some of them using Simple Recovery. If I have a workflow that backs up transaction logs only, I end up with failures - because of the dbs in Simple Recovery mode. The workflow contains many separate/different SQL servers and most of them have dbs set to Full Recovery. The servers that have dbs in Simple Recovery mode will always show in NMC as failed (I also have a separate workflow that does full SQL server backups - no problems/failures with that) The way I get around the failure is to create a specific workflow just for the server with mixture of Full and simple Recovery to backup only the (transaction logs for) db's in Full Recovery mode. This works, but I am not sure if that is the right way to handle this situation. If we have several SQL servers set up this way (with mixed db modes, thus necessitating separate workflows), I would end up with many, many more workflows and managing them and keeping things straight would be far more difficult. Is my approach correct, or is there a better way to do this? Any input would be appreciated. [/INST] [NAME], Keeping separate workflows for different instances of a DB on SQL server is the best approach. Specially in your case where you have different recovery modes set on different instances. You could create a separate policy based on either application e.g. front end, middle ware , back end, logging servers for any application that you have in production, or you could segregate it based on the data type like SQL in one policy, Exchange in one, Linux FS in once and so on. </s>

<s>[INST] Hi to all, I have bought 2 new CPU (E5-2660 v2) for my R620 with 2x E5-2603). After the change of the CPUs the server recognize only 1, the CPU1 and not the CPU2. I have passed all the day to updgrade BIOS and Idrac firmware (1 by 1 from the oldest to the newest) but always the same problem. The server start, the fan start at max speed and remain in this state, esxi 5.5 start but before the final screen the system reboot. Thanks for the help [/INST] If none of the CPUs are working with CPU socket 2, I'd be looking at the motherboard as a potential failure. If the old CPUs continue to work with CPU socket 2, you could test the new CPUs on a different motherboard. Updating the BIOS and iDRAC shouldn't impact the PSU at all, but you can perform a power drain, just to be safe. This would be done by shutting the server down, unplugging it, then holding the power button down for 30 seconds. You can then bring it back up as normal. </s>

[/INST] Don't think you'll have much luck. DataDomain is the only Dedup Appliance supported by Avamar. Avamar is its own Backup/Dedup Appliance. DD Support was added because they're both from DellEMC. Avamar Clients also have the DDboost library integrated so they can write their backups directly on the DD (as does Veeam). Metadata is still stored on the Avamar Node/Grid. There's no equivalent to DDboost on a Quantum DXi, for example. That appliance has some extra integration with NetBackup (OST/DAE) or Veeam, where the Veeam Data Mover service can run directly on the DXi. </s>

<s>[INST] We are using CloudPools with Azure as an archive. We use SyncIQ to copy a directory structure to a new location in another Access Zone. We break the SyncIQ relationship to make the target writable (essential). There is a FilePool policy that migrates the data at that target to Azure. Lastly we TreeDelete the original source files. All that works fine. My problem is in retrieving data. As it is an archive we do not want to use 'isi cloud recall' as that brings the actual file data back, replacing the SmartLink. I absolutely need the data to stay safe in Azure, where it has redundancy that we cannot provide on-site. There are documented 'CloudPools expected behaviors' that state: 'You can view and modify cloud data by accessing SmartLink files through supported protocols (NFS, SMB, Swift, and HDFS). If you attempt to access a SmartLink file directly on the cluster, through a command running on the cluster, or through an unsupported protocol, an I/O error is generated. Local access for SmartLink files is blocked for these commands: tar, gzip, scp, AVscan, and Job Engine jobs. Cloning of a SmartLink file is also prevented and will return an EINVAL error.' I have tested just using 'cp' to copy a SmartLinked file back to another location on the local Isilon. It doesn't give an I/O error as it suggests above. It retrieves the data content and caches it with the SmartLink, much as I would expect if I had used one of the supported 'redirected' protocols listed (SMB, NFS, HDFS and Swift). It is of course slow. I am reluctant to create a share and use an external server just to get a copy of the data back if a user requests it. That would mean creating a share on the archive access zone, and a target share where I need to put the data, and using an external server to pull the data back from Azure, and then store it back into the Isilon. That clearly is supported, but if I can use 'cp' locally that would avoid the data going 3 times across the external interfaces. So I guess my question is, whether what I observed was just luck, or is there any redirector for 'cp' or any other local commands? William [/INST] works as designed From the OneFS 8.2 Release Notes: SmartLink files and inline access In previous releases, the connection between OneFS file system storage and cloud storage was known as a stub file. Now, this connection is called a SmartLink file. SmartLink files permit inline access to the archived data.Inline access enables users connecting to a cluster through supported protocols to access cloud data directly through a SmartLink file, rather than requiring a connection from a client computer. hth -- Peter </s>

Which should have replaced the failed one automatically. if not, or if you were running with 'no spares' option then the another failure on either RAIDset will cause an outage of that entire array. Once you resolve the failed drive situation you might want to consider converting to RAID6. Regards, Don </s>

<s>[INST] Hello, I am having an issue configuring a new iSCSI connection on a new Win2016 server. Standard procedure is to install Auto Snapshot Manager and then configure the VSS Chap and grab the servers Initiator Name and add it to the new volume on the SAN, limiting access to only that Initiator. We then limit the MPIO access to only the subnets used for SAN traffic and make sure the connections are building out over the SAN ports instead of the business LAN.

<s>[INST] Hi. Had performance issues on the 5 year old PowerEdge T320 Server that turned out to be a Windows Hyper-V Issue. I solved that issue. However, as part of the troubleshooting process I ran the Pre-Boot Dell Utilities. All tests passed, but the Fan Test caused the Rear Fan to be stuck on high. I don't have an IDRAC License. I don't have a Service Agreement. Our plan was to retire the Server later this year, so I am trying to avoid purchasing a Service Agreement and/or IDRAC License. I asked my Dell Account Manager if they could sell me something on the cheap since the issue was caused by running the Dell Diagnostics Tool, but the answer came back no. I have not updated the BIOS or the IDRAC Software or any other Dell Utility Software. Perhaps that will help and I can do that for free. Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so, is it possible to fix without access the IDRAC Utility? Also, I tried installing SpeedFan, but it did not recognize the server chipset. SpeedFan detected the fan speed, but attempts to control the fan speed failed. Is there a way to get SpeedFan or anther utility to work to lower the Fan Speed? Any other suggestions would be welcome. Peter at Cebic Technologies [/INST] Hi Peter, Have you tried powering the server off, unplugging it, then holding the power button down for 30 seconds? This will force the iDRAC hardware to restart, which is would be desirable, because the iDRAC also functions as the fan speed controller for the server. </s>

<s>[INST] Hi, We recently purchased some additional drives for our NX3230 to increase the capacity on one of the existing volumes. I've gone into the Lifecycle Controller to find a way to add these disk to the existing RAID configuration, but the only options seem to be to wipe the existing configuration and start from scratch. Does anyone have and information or guides they can share that explain how to expand the array/RAID? Cheers, Mark. [/INST] Hello Mark, What you will need to do is to go into the perc bios and in there it will allow you to expand the virtual disk. What you need to be aware of is that your NX3230 is going to do a restripe of the data to all the drives. When the data is being restriped, your virtual disk is going to be a raid0, until the restripe is complete. A restripe is a low priority process, if you are using large size drives the restripe can take a long time to complete. It is best & fastest when adding drives, to backup all the data first, then destroy the virtual disk. Once virtual disk is destroyed then create the new virtual disk with the correct size. Please let us know if you have any other questions. </s>

With the server that you are using your options are limited. As you can use a MD1200 to connect to your server and that will give you added storage space.

I have it added in the ssh-agent, thats why ssh doesnt find it on the disk. ...debug1: Host 'mlmsw1-0' is known and matches the RSA host key.debug1: Found key in /home/support/.ssh/known_hosts:674debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correctdebug2: kex_derive_keysdebug2: set_newkeys: mode 1debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sentdebug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYSdebug2: set_newkeys: mode 0debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS receiveddebug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sentdebug2: service_accept: ssh-userauthdebug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT receiveddebug2: key: .ssh/id_rsa (0x7ff7b8455360),debug2: key: /home/support/.ssh/id_rsa ((nil)),debug2: key: /home/support/.ssh/id_dsa ((nil)),debug2: key: /home/support/.ssh/id_ecdsa ((nil)),debug2: key: /home/support/.ssh/id_ed25519 ((nil)),debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,passworddebug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,passworddebug3: preferred gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,publickey,keyboard-interactive,passworddebug3: authmethod_lookup publickeydebug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,passworddebug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickeydebug1: Next authentication method: publickeydebug1: Offering RSA public key: .ssh/id_rsadebug3: send_pubkey_testdebug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for replydebug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,passworddebug1: Trying private key: /home/support/.ssh/id_rsadebug1: key_parse_private2: missing begin markerdebug1: key_parse_private_pem: PEM_read_PrivateKey faileddebug1: read PEM private key done: type Enter passphrase for key '/home/support/.ssh/id_rsa': debug1: key_parse_private2: missing begin marker debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA debug3: sign_and_send_pubkey: RSA 10:43:c7:58:dd:f2:2e:42:95:e7:8f:1d:3a:54:dc:59 debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password debug1: Trying private key: /home/support/.ssh/id_dsa debug3: no such identity: /home/support/.ssh/id_dsa: No such file or directory debug1: Trying private key: /home/support/.ssh/id_ecdsa debug3: no such identity: /home/support/.ssh/id_ecdsa: No such file or directory debug1: Trying private key: /home/support/.ssh/id_ed25519 debug3: no such identity: /home/support/.ssh/id_ed25519: No such file or directory debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method debug3: authmethod_lookup password debug3: remaining preferred: ,password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled password debug1: Next authentication method: password admin[NAME]-0's password: [/INST] Looks like i had simply not done this # ip ssh pubkey-auth But another question.I can only have one single key for one (e.g. admin) account? </s>

<s>[INST] Hello, I'm new to the Dell Server game. I will be needing to create a separate array to increase storage on my PowerEdge R630. I don't have access to connect the iDRAC connection at this point in time, working on it. Is there any Dell management software that can be added to windows 2012 that can build the array? Server is bare metal Windows 2012 R2. [/INST] OpenManage Server Administrator can do more than the iDRAC and should be installed on every Dell server you manage. Specifically, find downloads for the R630 running Server 2012 R2 here:[URL] OpenManage Server Administrator version for your system and OS:[URL] </s>

<s>[INST] Hi, We received new servers and I decided to create template in OpenManage from one of the R640 servers and then apply it to newly arrived servers. After that I updated all firmwares including iDRAC to version 4.00.00.00 and iDRAC stopped sending e-mail alerts. If I downgrade FW to 3.36.36.36 - it works without any changes in settings. Could you please advise what I should tune to start receiving e-mail alerts with FW 4.00.00.00 ? thank you. [/INST] There were a lot of changes made in 4.0 that may affect emails. I would start with number 18 in the Important notes section of the release notes. [URL] If that does not resolve the issue then you should review the lifecycle log and your mail server log to try to determine what exactly is failing. </s>
