Connecting EMC/NetApp shelves as JBOD to a Linux machine

Byetzion 29/04/2015

Let’s say you have old shelves of either EMC or NetApp with SAS or SATA disks in them. And let’s say you want to connect them via FC to a Linux machine and have some nice ZFS machine/cluster, or whatever else. There are few things to know, and to attend in order for it to…

NetApp LUN Serial and SCSI Word 83

Byetzion 02/11/2014

I was wandering for a long while about the connection between NetApp’s LUN Serial and the identifier the host sees, aka “Word 83”. There was an obvious connection, but I figured it out only today. The LUN Serial is an ASCII representation of the hexadecimal Word 83, or, to be exact, the last 22 hex…

Cacti NetApp Ontap API data query

Byetzion 23/06/201311/07/2015

I have been using the excellent template and scripts from this forum post, however, when the NetApp device is loaded with LUNs and volumes, the script will cause the Cacti to timeout, and during that time, consume CPU. The original cause of this problem was a workaround to some NetApp Perl API bug the original…

NetApp – Copy LUN between filers using NDMP

Byetzion 19/01/2013

ndmpcopy is a wonderful command. It allows a fine-grained copy of files or directories between NetApp devices, across network, even if they do not use (or unlicensed) SnapMirror, SnapVault and the rest of the Snap* products NetApp offer. In this example I will show how to copy a LUN from one filer to the other….
