Audit Logs

  • Steps
    • If audit logging is turned off, enter the following command to turn audit logging on:
    • options auditlog.enable on
    • To change the maximum size of the audit log file, enter the following command:
    • options auditlog.max_file_size value
    • value is the maximum size in bytes. The default value is 10,000,000 (about 10 MB).
    • sending audit logs to a remote log server
      1. First enable syslog to a remote server
      2. enable accepting remote logs on your linux/unix log server
      3. add a line that says: “local7.* @your_log_server” to the netapp’s syslog.conf. reference

Performance Tuning

NFS Performance Tuning

CIFS Performance Tuning

ISCSI Performance Tuning

Follow the steps for Red Hat:
1. Check the below packages available.
rpm -q device-mapper
rpm -q device-mapper-multipath
2.To start the multipath daemon
# /etc/init.d/multipathd start
3. To configure the DM-Multipath devices
# multipath
4. Configuring DM-Multipath to start automatically while booting.
chkconfig --add multipathd
chkconfig multipathd on
5. Verify that the multipathd is running.
# /etc/init.d/multipathd status
6. To view a list of the multipath device
# multipath -ll

        organized into blocks, or chunks, to make accessing the storage more efficient. The size and the starting
      

    



 


    

      

        offset of each block can be different at each layer. Although a different block size across the storage
      

    



 


    

      

        layers doesn’t require any special attention, the starting offset does. For optimal performance, the starting
      

    



 


    

      

        offset of a file system should align with the start of a block in the next lower layer of storage. For example,
      

    



 


    

      

        an NTFS file system that resides on a LUN should have an offset that is divisible by the block size of the
      

    



 


    

      

        storage array presenting the LUN. Misalignment of block boundaries at any one of these storage layers
      

    



 


    

      

        can result in performance degradation.
      

    



 


    

      

        This issue is not unique to NetApp storage arrays and can occur for storage arrays from any vendor.
      

    



 



SIM Licenses




These are the licenses that can be used with Simulate ONTAP 8.1.0.
The license keys can be entered into the simulator to enable the
respective functionality using the same mechanisms normally used to
enter licenses into production Filers.

Note that the Cluster-mode licenses are limited to 2 nodes.
