== 11/14 - Monday - <del>Belmont, CA</del> Rohnert, CA ==

We plan to visit the aquarium in Monterey on the way up. We'll be meeting Katie in Belmont, having dinner at a restaurant of her choice, and heading to our hotel (TBA).

We drove along the 1 to Cayucos, ate at Duckies' Chowder House and grabbed some candy from the nearby candy store. Followed the 1 to Belmont, had dinner with Katie. Grabbed some drinks and a charger from Walmart and Best Buy. Drove to Rohnert Park and we're staying at the Budget Inn here. I'm watching the GSL while Mory sleeps.

Per instructions from my dad, we'll be taking the 128 to Fort Bragg, splitting off the 101 at Cloverdale.

Ate breakfast at Shari's in Rohnert. We stopped at several vista locations on the 1, went to Mendocino, got cookies, browsed stores, saw the mural, went to Glass Beach, went to MacKerricher Park, ate at Cap'n Flints, stayed in the North Cliff Hotel. NCH was the best hotel ever.

Visit Tillamook Dairy on the way up, eat ice cream and cheese curds. Once in Seaside, boardwalk, promenade, hang out.

Went to Harris Beach for a bit. Drove along the coast, stopped for pictures, went to Port Orford for a business call (the Ray's Food Place here has ShoreTel! also great chicken strips). We went to Coos Bay and Bandon, got donuts in Coos Bay, got some clam chowder in Newport. We tried going to the outlet Nike store in Lincoln City but they were closed for remodeling (opening TOMORROW) so we went to Harry & David's and Old Navy. After that, went to Tillamook, ate cheese curds and ice cream. Ate some Chinese food in Gearhart. We decided to skip Seaside since it was rainy as hell and their Nike outlet store didn't have Oregon Ducks jackets. Drove over to Washington via the bridge in Astoria, drove through some heavy rain, drove to Aberdeen and got a room for the night at America's Best Value Inn.

Hung out at the Chao Bistro and watched some MLG StarCraft matches. Ate a Siege Tank. Went to the AFKTavern to check it out, ate a Dragon's Hoard.

Ifconfig

2011-10-30T19:31:04Z

Madsushi:

Ifconfig is the command-line tool that every Windows admin wishes he had. You can both check and set your IP address quickly, which makes it one of my favorite programs.

''ifconfig -a''

Displays your current network information, the equivalent to "''ipconfig /all''"

''ifconfig e0a''

Displays the networking information for just interface e0a.

''ifconfig e0a 192.168.1.9 netmask 255.255.255.0''

Sets interface e0a to the specified network settings

It's important to note that the default gateway is not present in the NIC config, rather it's done through the [[route]] command. If you need to go back to DHCP, you actually just start up the DHCP client, like this:

''dhclient e0a''

NetApp Volume

2011-10-30T07:41:08Z

Madsushi: /* Adjusting settings */

== What are Volumes? ==

The best way to think of a NetApp volume is to imagine a folder in Windows. All of the disk/RAID configuration is already taken care of at the aggregate level, and you're ready to start laying down some data.

Rather than just throwing files around all over the place, you use Volumes (like folders) to sort your data. The big difference between a traditional folder and a volume is that a volume has a set size. Imagine if you went into a folder's properties and set its size to "50 GB", that's what a volume is like. Not only do we say that the volume can't be over 50 GB, we actually fix its size at 50 GB, so it consumes 50 GB of space even when its empty. When you start talking about enterprise storage, you realize that you are able to thin-provision just about everything if you wanted to. '''NEVER THIN-PROVISION VOLUMES'''. Volumes should always be set to '''RESERVE''' their full space upon creation. This way, when you look at your space available on the aggregate, you know that is your true space available.

If you mess up volume thin-provisioning, you can take an '''entire aggregate''' down with you. If you mess up thin-provisioning inside of a volume, then only that volume is affected. Speaking as a guy who has taken down plenty of volumes, don't mess this up.

== Naming Volumes ==

Volume naming is something very dear to my heart. Please, standardize your volume names and realize that we will be using these volume names in conversation, so make them readable. Here are some CIO standards:

If you're just doing a normal volume, just call it something short and simple. There's no need to get fancy or to introduce extra acronyms for no reason. Seriously.

For SQL or Exchange, you need 2-3 volumes. Use the volume name suffixed by SQL, Logs, or SnapInfo. If you're talking about Exchange or a non-SQL app, suffix the first volume with DB. For example:

* ''PandoraSQL, PandoraLogs, PandoraSnapInfo''

* ''ExchDB, ExchLogs''

For SnapVaulted volumes, you add sv_ to the original volume's name. Example:

* ''sv_PandoraSQL''

== Making a volume ==

NetApp is transitioning into using System Manager for all management purposes, so we should start to use it for everything as well. Data ONTAP 8.1 doesn't even ship with FilerView at all. Here's a walkthrough of making a new volume in System Manager. Go to Storage, then Volumes, and hit Add Volume. Here's the window you're presented with:

[[File:Volumenaming.jpg]]

* We already went over naming, you have that part handled.

* You obviously want to pick the right aggregate, but for all non-CHS customers, this will always be aggr0.

* For Storage Type, the only thing that changes is whether it's exported by default or not. THIS CHOICE DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.

* Set your total size appropriately, but know you can move it up and down at will without any issues.

* Snapshot Reserves will be covered in a later chapter, but '''ALWAYS SET THIS TO 0%'''.

* Obviously turn off Thin Provisioning.

Let's move to the second tab:

[[File:Dedupesettings.jpg]]

* We'll turn on deduplication, obviously it's a good thing and should be turned on just about everywhere.

* Compression is only used in very specific scenarios, '''ALWAYS LEAVE THIS OFF'''.

== Adjusting settings ==

Now that we've successfully created the volume, let's finish the setup. You configure snapshots by selecting your volume, then going to the Snapshot Copies menu and hitting Configure.

[[File:Snapsettings.jpg]]

Here's where you can make your snapshot directory visible (almost always good), enable scheduled snapshots, and configure when they're taken. If you're working with a volume that will be snapshotted by SnapManager for whatever, TURN OFF SCHEDULED SNAPSHOTS.

The final settings are found in the Edit Volume menu, which you get to by selecting the volume and pushing Edit.

[[File:Configdedupe.jpg]]

Scheduled your dedupe jobs to happen before your snapshots happen. As an example, run dedupe at 10pm and then run your backups at midnight. The only exceptions to this rule are snapvault volumes, which are set to manual, since they automatically dedupe themselves. Automatic is always a bad idea.

[[File:advvolume.jpg]]

You can set up Autogrow, which will grow the volume automatically if it fills up. Only use this for emergencies or very critical volumes. You can also set up Auto-delete to delete older snapshots when it fills up, which is usually the better choice for making sure you have free space. Finally, Fractional Reserve needs to be on for every volume, no exceptions. Unless the volume is constantly managed by an expert, turning Fractional Reserve off is asking for serious trouble.
