NetApp snapmirror resource not getting online with VCS integration
Dear All, I would like to have some help to identify following error while onlining a NetApp SnapMirror agent that was intergrated with VCS. The filer name and its credential s were given properly and even i can able to ssh it from the servers but for some reason the resource is not getting online and shows following error in the engine.log 2014/09/30 15:02:44 VCS WARNING V-16-20059-1002 (node)NetAppSnapMirror:testSM:online:Encountered errors while decrypting password! 2014/09/30 15:02:44 VCS ERROR V-16-20059-1000 (node11) NetAppSnapMirror:testSM:online:ONTAPI 'system-get-version' failed on filer node1.sys Error : in Zapi::invoke, cannot connect to socket Actually i am doing global Clustering configuration where i have two node cluster and a filer at primary site, In dr i have a single node cluster and a filer. the replication is async. Any support highly appreacited. Thanks. Uvi.
detaching vmdk files on vmware vm
When the application failover happens in VMware Guest enviorments, the VCS is responsible for failing over the application to other vm/vcs node on diffrent ESX host. In a scenario where the ESX/ESXi host itself faults, the VCS agents begin to fail over the application to the failover target system that resides on another host. The VMwareDisks agent communicates with the new ESX/ESXi host and initiates a disk detach operation on the faulted virtual machine. The agent then attaches the disk to the new failover target virtual machine. In this senario, how are the stale i/o from failing over guest/ESX host avoided? Are we on the mercy of VMware to take care of it? With SCSI3 PR this was the main problem that was solved. Moreover in such senario's even a garceful online detach wouldnt have gone through. I didnt find any references on VMware discussions forums as well. My customer wants to know about it, before he can deploy the application. Thanks, Raf
