Operating Systems Solaris How to mount a NetApp snapshoot to a Solaris server? Post 302967671 by hicksd8 on Friday 26th of February 2016 06:49:53 AM

No, you shouldn't need to use the 'format' command and, indeed, it could be risky to do so (in case it writes anything to the filesystem eg, new label).

You have said that the filesystem is 'ufs' and I assume the connectivity is over Ethernet? Or is it fibre channel?

Assuming it's over ethernet then the NetApp has an ip address so you can prove the LUN's availability to your Solaris host with

Code:
# showmount <NetApp ip address>

This will show you any NFS handles that the NetApp is publishing that your Solaris host could access. If you see a NFS handle available and you have a local mountpoint (or you create one), you can issue the mount command directly.

If the above 'showmount' doesn't show the available NFS handle then your network storage boys haven't published it properly.

Hope that helps.

NAME
NetApp::Snapmirror -- OO class for snapmirror relationships SYNOPSIS
use NetApp::Filer; use NetApp::Snapmirror; my $filer = NetApp::Filer->new( .... ); my @snapmirrors = $filer->get_snapmirrors; my $volume = $filer->get_volume( .... ); my @snapmirrors = $volume->get_snapmirrors; DESCRIPTION
This class encapsulates a single snapmirror relationship, and provides methods for querying information about it, as well as methods for managing it. METHODS
get_filer Returns the NetApp::Filer object for the filer on which this snapmirror relationship is defined. get_source Returns a NetApp::Snapmirror::Source object representing the source filer/volume for this snapmirror relationship. get_destination Returns a NetApp::Snapmirror::Destination object representing the source filer/volume for this snapmirror relationship. Miscellaneous get_* methods All of the following get methods return strings which match the values found for each of the obvious keywords in the output of "snapmirror status -l": get_status get_progress get_state get_lag get_mirror_timestamp get_base_snapshot get_current_transfer_type get_current_transfer_error get_contents get_last_transfer_type get_last_transfer_size get_last_transfer_duration get_last_transfer_from NOTE: In a future release, when snapshots are supported as a proper object, the return value of get_snapshot will almost certainly return such an object. perl v5.14.2 2008-11-26 NetApp::Snapmirror(3pm)
