RE: VeeamAUX_RescanHost0 backup FS7300

Found In Egroup: Primary Storage \ view thread
This error has been introduced with Storage Virtualize release 8.6.1. As I just have learned, logging of error 2017/64003 can not be toggled, as it is considered rather unusual for a host changing between online/offline that often. Feel free to raise an IDEA if you'd like to suggest a change of this ...

Amendment: I'm not 100% sure yet, but changing the host's statuspolicy from complete to redundant might prevent the error message to be logged: chhost -statuspolicy redundant VeeamAUX_RescanHost0 ------------------------------ Best regards, Christian Schroeder IBM Storage Virtualize Support ...

I did some additional investigation on that topic. In the past, availability of the configured DNS server objects was checked by regular pings, lost or blocked ICMP packets hence could trigger the observed error 1585/9213. This was changed with 8.6.0 code stream, so depending on the version you ...

RE: Firmware version difference between SVC and Backend FlashSystem

Found In Egroup: Primary Storage \ view thread
Hello T Masteen, yes, that's not a problem. As per SSIC, the only restriction on using FS7200 as SVC back-end storage is the minimum firmware level of 8.2.1.8: The path to follow within SSIC is this one: Storage Family: IBM Storage Virtualize Controllers --> the virtualizing device Storage ...

RE: Can an SVC cluster have dissimilar nodes?

Sergio, it is true, that SV3 does support other slots for FC HBA than SV2. If port mapping is an issue here, you may want to refer to IBM Docs article "Setting the Fibre Channel port mapping: IBM SAN Volume Controller 2145-SV3". It also has a link to the SVC Port Configurator web-tool. ----- ...

Hi Apidesh, ethernet port2 can be configured as secondary management port, either via GUI or CLI: chsystemip -clusterip -gw -mask -port 2 More details on this in IBM Docs article "chsystemip". If you want to reuse the management IP address previously assigned to port1, change the port1 ...

Hi Cezar, in this situation, both nodes in "SERVICE/578" there is in fact no escape from conducting a T3 Recovery. To make sure, you have got a good config backup, go to "Collect Logs" and save a support package, do this for both nodes. The option "with latest statesave" is not needed. You may ...

RE: Host unmap enabled on SVC with standard pools

Found In Egroup: Primary Storage \ view thread
Michał, I fully second TMasteen's statement above. I'd like to add, that it's not only beneficial to enable host_unmap on SVC, it even may be considered crucial, assuming the FCMs installed in the back-end FlashSystems are being overprovisioned, say: they are presenting more virtual capacity than ...

Hello Anup Regmi, node error 568 means, the Spectrum Virtualize code attempted to update the FC adapter firmware, but failed. I'd suggest to raise a formal support ticket with IBM and supply a single snap (collect via Service Assistant GUI), so the reason for this can be investigated. ...

Hi Andy, thanks for your frank revert. Since it's a bit unclear, whether SVC or FS7300 are misbehaving, I'd suggest to toggle an SVC-facing SAN port. In fact, in the past we had to advise customers to toggle all SVC SAN ports, one at a time to force a re-login, which eventually did clear ...

Hi Andy, speaking for IBM RTS (Remote Technical Support) team I can say, without having a support package (alias snap) to analyze, it'll be hard if not even impossible to deliver a solution for this problem.
