Can not delete LUN on NetApp StoreVault Manager

November 11, 2008 by John Tran · Leave a Comment 

If you can not delete a LUN in StoreVault Manager you will need to use the CLI to delete it.  To do this connect to the StoreVault device via SSH.  If you don’t have a SSH client download putty. Log in as root and type in the following commands.

vol status – ‘make sure you can see the LUN you want to delete”
vol offline NAMEOFLUN
vol destroy NAMEOFLUN

If you go back to StoreVault Manager and refresh the list of LUN’s, you should no longer see the LUN.

Can’t Quiesce or Update Replicas on NetApp StoreVault

November 7, 2008 by John Tran · Leave a Comment 

If you’re trying to quiesce or update replicas on your NetApp StoreVault and you’re receiving the error ‘Can’t connect to host error 10060′ after entering the destination password then do the following to resolve the issue.

Check DNS entries
Telnet to the source StoreVault and check the host table.
Do this by running the following command

rdfile command

If the destination StoreVault does not exist in the host table then add the entry by running the following command. Before you do this make sure you copy the results from the rdfile command so you can copy and paste them after you run the wrfile command

wrfile command

If this still does not fix the problem then check your registry entry and make sure you do not have the hostname pointing to an old IP Addresss. To do this use regedit and go to \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Network Appliance\StoreVault\Setup\History
If you do see that there is an old entry then delete the regkey or you can modify the value to the correct IP Address.
