New features and changes
Version 6.0.70.4
®



NS gateway support for new Symmetrix Enginuity 5876.159.102.












2

NS gateway supports Enginuity 5876.159.102 running on any of the VMAX
platforms (10K, 20K, and 40K).
NS gateway software features such as TimeFinder® and SRDF®, which are
supported on the earlier Symmetrix Enginuity, will be supported on
5876.159.102 Enginuity.
Software features such as FAST™ and Federated Tiered Storage (FTS) are not
supported with 6.0.70.4.
Thin BCV (Business Continuance Volume) disks are supported on NS gateway.
NS gateway inherits all hardware and software restrictions imposed by VMAX
10K, 20K and 40K, and Enginuity 5876.159.102.
VP Compression is supported on NS gateway. It is recommended that you
create a user defined pool for the compressed LUNs so that consistent
performance can be provided for the file systems. VP compression must be
done from the Solution Enabler host.
I/O Quota is supported on NS gateway. It is recommended to create a userdefined pool for the LUNs that have the same I/O Quota configuration so that
the user-defined pool can provide consistent performance for file systems. I/O
Quota must be configured from the Solutions Enabler host.
The recommended configuration (best practice) for NS gateway using I/O
Quota with masking view (LUN masking feature) is as follows:
 Ensure that a parent Storage Group is in a masking view
with the Data Mover initiator group and Symmetrix FA port
group.

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

New features and changes







Create multiple Child Storage Groups with different
performance expectations. For example, extra performance,
performance, and capacity.
Set an appropriate I/O Quota in each Storage Group.
Execute diskmark operation.
If the storage groups are all from fibre channel, create user
defined storage pools for each storage group. Create file
systems from the user defined storage pools.

Version 6.0.65.2
For NS-G2, NS-G8, VG2, VG8 gateways, if you plan to upgrade to VNX
File OE 7.0 or later in future, do not install this version.

Versions 6.0.61.0, 6.0.60.2, 6.0.51.6, 6.0.43.1, 6.0.43.0, 6.0.42.3, and 6.0.41.4
There were no new features or changes to functionality in these versions.
The Fixed problems section contains changes made in this version.

Version 6.0.55.3
NS-G2/NS-G8 6.x support for VNX Block arrays
This release supports installation of NS-G2/NS-G8 Gateways and their
connection with VNX Block arrays using the Fibre Channel protocol.
New features in the upcoming VNX Operating Environment for Block
5.32 are not supported.

Version 6.0.41.3
Checkpoint scheduling relative name convention
As of this release, SnapSure supports checkpoint CVFS names that are
dynamically assigned based on the relative order of checkpoints (for
example, nightly.001, nightly.002, nightly.003, and so on.) To use this
option, you must specify the relative CVFS name prefix, the delimiter,
and the starting index. The delimiter and starting index values are
recorded in the nas_param database and must be manually edited. The
complete CVFS name while using the relative prefix option is a
concatenation of the prefix, delimiter and starting index.
The prefix of a relative checkpoint must be a PFS-wide unique string and
can contain up to 20 ASCII characters. It must not include intervening
spaces, colons (:), or slashes (/). The delimiter must be either a period (.)
EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

New features and changes

or an underscore (_). The starting index must be either 0 or 1.
This feature is managed through the GUI or the CLI, or both.
CPU Utilization Threshold Alerting
As of this release, you can enable CPU utilization threshold alerting and
receive automated SNMP trap or email notifications when a Data Mover
CPU utilization crosses a certain threshold for a set period of minutes
and persistence. You can also be notified when the condition is no longer
applicable and the CPU utilization subsides to a normal level.
The Configuring Celerra Events and Notifications technical module
provides more detailed information about this feature.
File system replication with common base checkpoints
This feature is also known as "Incremental Attach Replication".
When you replace source or destination file systems, the replications and
internal checkpoints are deleted. You will have to perform a full data
copy to be able to create future replications with the original
configurations. To avoid performing a time-consuming full data copy
over the WAN, you can create a local replica of the file system that you
want to replace.
You can then create one or more user-specified checkpoints on the file
system to be replaced, the local replica, and each of the other file systems
involved in the replication.
After creating user-specified checkpoints, you must refresh each
replication by specifying the user checkpoint on the source and
destination file system for that replication.
Consequently, the user checkpoint of each destination file system
(including local replica) has the same view of the file system as the user
checkpoint on the source file system that will be replaced. User
checkpoints on the source and destination file systems, which have the
same content, are called common base checkpoints. You can now use the
local replica for replications without performing a full data copy over the
WAN.
Implementing this technique is useful in disaster recovery scenarios as
well. To avoid a full data copy in the event of a disaster, create one or
more user-specified checkpoints on the source and destination file
systems and refresh their replication by using these user checkpoints.
This process transfers data from the source user checkpoint to the
destination file system through the existing replication session. Thus, the
destination user checkpoint has the same view of the file system as the
4

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

New features and changes

source user checkpoint. This process is repeated for each destination in
the one-to-many configuration. For a cascading replication, the
replication must be refreshed for this first hop and then for the second
hop.
After this process, even if you delete the replication sessions, you can
configure new replication sessions between any two destinations
because replication automatically identifies the common base
checkpoints and avoid full data copy. You can create user checkpoints
for file system and VDM replications. For VDM replications, you can
create the user checkpoints on the root file system of the VDM. You
cannot delete user checkpoints when they are being used by replication
either for transfer or as an active common base.
Greater than 4 TB Quotas
As of this release, the storage limit per user, group, or tree quota has
been increased from 4 TB to 256 TB. You can control the usage of the disk
resource and limit the expensive disk space usage by various user or
group or trees on a file system. Support for 256 TB quotas does not imply
any change in the maximum size of the underlying file system.
Caution: If you replicate a quota-enabled file system from a system
running Celerra Network Server (CNS) version 6.0.41.0 or later to a
destination system running a CNS version earlier than 6.0.41.0, the
destination file system can become unusable.
Upgrade quota database limits for file systems
You can upgrade your quota databases to the new 256 TB limit from the
existing 4 TB limit. The nas_quotas command has a new option called quotadb that, when run, performs the upgrade. The file system will be
unavailable during the upgrade.
Note: Before the upgrade process runs, the Control Station displays the
estimated upgrade time on the file system whose quota database will be
upgraded, and also displays a warning message to notify you that the file
system will be unavailable during the upgrade process. If you are in
interactive mode, a dialog displays letting you choose whether you want to
continue. Since the file system will be unavailable during the upgrade, the
upgrade can be deferred to a later time. If you are in non-interactive mode,
after displaying the estimated upgrade time message and warning message,
the upgrade process starts immediately.

The Command Reference Manual contains more detailed information
about the -quotadb command.

New features and changes

Online quota update tool
Once a tree, user, or group quota is enabled on a directory, in some
instances, differences may occur between a reported quota usage and the
actual usage. The online quota update tool lets you run a quota check on
a tree or file system. The tool updates the tree, group, and user usage
statistics, while keeping the directory tree and file system online, and
keeping data access available. You can also run a quota check in the
offline mode, if desired.
If you have file system administrative privileges, you can use the Celerra
CLI to run the online quota update tool. If an error is encountered, an
error message is generated. The status of the online quota check shows
the percentage completed.
Note: 512 MB of free space is needed on the file system to run a tree quota
check.

Performance problem collection tool
This tool enables users to send all relevant information related to the file
system to EMC for diagnosis. The performance problem collection tool is
a single CLI tool that gathers all the relevant logs (systat, IO trace, etc.)
for a specified file system so that it can be easily transmitted to EMC as
part of a support escalation. Prior to this release, users had to manually
provide this information.
Symmetrix Enginuity version 5875
This release supports the new Symmetrix Enginuity version 5875, which
runs on the VMAX platform, and includes a new version of Solutions
Enabler v7.2. VNX supports tolerance for Enginuity 5875 release only. It
does not leverage any new features included in 5875.
User-defined pool usage enhanced
The -is_greedy attribute of the nas_pool command has been enhanced to
include identifying which member volumes of a user-defined storage
pool are used to provide space when creating or extending a file system.

6



If the -is_greedy attribute is set to n (default), the system uses space
from the user-defined storage pool's existing member volumes in the
order that the volumes were added to the pool to create a new file
system or extend an existing file system.



If the -is_greedy attribute is set to y, the system uses space from the
least-used member volume in the user-defined storage pool to create
a new file system. When there is more than one least-used member

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

New features and changes

volume available, AVM selects the member volume that contains the
most disk volumes. For example, if one member volume contains
four disk volumes and another member volume contains eight disk
volumes, AVM selects the one with eight disk volumes. If there are
two or more member volumes that have the same number of disk
volumes, AVM selects the one with the lowest ID.
When extending a file system, the -is_greedy attribute is ignored unless
there is not enough free space on the existing volumes that the file
system is using.
Windows event log auto archive
With Windows operating system, applications can use the event logging
mechanism to log their own events. Celerra currently supports three
such event logs that are security, system, and applications.
The physical format of these logs use a Microsoft format called 'evt' that
has a limitation of 4 GB in size because there are some fields stored on 32
bits integers. Windows 2008 has introduced a new format 'evtx' that does
not have this limitation.
The event log auto archive feature allows you to automatically archive
an event log on a particular trigger and to continue the logging on a new
event log without losing any events. The archive is triggered on a time
and/or on an event log size basis defined by parameters in the Windows
registry.
You can specify a retention policy to keep the event log archives before
they can be recycled based on the duration and/or the total archive disk
size.
All parameters are stored in the Windows registry of each VDM.
Therefore, each VDM will have its own configuration. The parameters
can be viewed and edited with tools like regedit. The Configuring and
Managing CIFS on Celerra technical module provides more information
about this feature.

Version 6.0.40.8
Celerra Upgrade Tool -localization upgrade support
The Celerra Upgrade Tool (CUT) allows you to download language
packages and manage your Celerra in your primary language. The
Download Software wizard helps you download the language packages
from the EMC Online Support website based on your Celerra
configuration. The Celerra Upgrade wizard then installs the language

Version 6.0.36.4
The following new features are supported as of Celerra Network Server
version 6.0.36.4.
256TB capacity/blade
With the introduction of the Celerra 6.0 software release, we have
increased the capacity/blade of the NSG8 and NS960 platforms to 256TB
per blade. This enables users to increase the number of disk drives per
blade without needing to acquire an additional blade, thereby reducing
the user's TCO.

64-bit OS
The Celerra 6.0 release introduces the 64-bit version of the DART
operating system. 64-bit technology enables blades with large memory
configurations to effectively utilize system resources in order to provide
capacity and scalability enhancements across the board.

Control Station auditing system
The system auditing feature has been enhanced with new trigger
mechanisms to detect potential system access violations and to start up
automatically on single and dual Control Station configurations.
For more information, see the Auditing in the Celerra Control Station
Technical Note.

Celerra Upgrade Tool
The Celerra Upgrade Tool (CUT) lets you upgrade your Celerra systems
without assistance from EMC or an EMC service provider. CUT
communicates over the Internet to EMC Online Support and over a local
network to a Celerra system.
CUT is part of the Unisphere Service Manager (USM), and you will now
be able to use the same tool to upgrade both Celerra and CLARiiON
systems.
CUT uses three wizards to safely guide you, step-by-step, through the
process of upgrading the Celerra software.

12

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

New features and changes







The Celerra Download Wizard selects the latest Celerra
software for your system. Software selection is based on
your hardware configuration, the software currently
installed on the Celerra, and the storage system software
running.
The wizard can examine your system to obtain this
information, or you can provide the information. The
Download Celerra Software Wizard gives you one or two
choices depending on your configuration, a maintenance
release with the latest bug fixes or a new version with new
features. The wizard then helps you download the
appropriate version of the Celerra software to a central
repository on a PC or laptop.
The Pre-Upgrade Health Check Wizard examines the health
of the system to determine if the Celerra will support a
successful software upgrade.
The Celerra Upgrade Wizard runs the pre-upgrade health
check on the Celerra, upgrades the software, and then runs a
post-upgrade health check.

Unified Storage system privileges required to run Celerra Upgrade Tool wizards
With the release of NAS 6.0, Unified Storage systems can now participate
in a CLARiiON Storage domain as a member system. After becoming a
member of the CLARiiON domain, whether the system joined
automatically or manually, global user accounts are automatically
mapped to the Celerra with Operator (nasadmin) privileges by default.
By design, the migrated accounts do not have the necessary privileges to
run any of the Unisphere Service Manager's (USM) Celerra Upgrade
Tool (CUT) wizards.
USM displays only the Celerra Download and the Celerra Health Check
wizards. The Celerra Upgrade wizard is displayed only if the fullnas
(nasadmin) or root privileges are assigned to the migrated Users.
In addition, to use all three CUT wizards, the Control Station shell
allowed privilege must be enabled for each user. This right allows users
to fully use the Celerra Download and the Celerra Health Check
wizards. In order to run the Celerra Upgrade wizard, users must also
have fullnas (nasadmin) privileges.
To fully use the CUT wizards:
1.

Run Unisphere and enter a hostname or IP address.

2.

In the login dialog, log in to the Celerra as root.
EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

New features and changes

3.

From the Scope drop-down list, select Local.

4.

Select Settings > User Management > Users. Highlight the user
account to which you want to assign privileges and click Properties.

5.

In properties, from the Group (Role) Membership field, select
fullnas (nasadmin). From the Client Access field select Control
Station shell allowed.

Once you have set these privileges for users, they can run USM and log
in to a Celerra system and upgrade it with CUT.

Celerra VG2 and VG8
Celerra now supports the new low-end and high-end gateway platforms
VG2 and VG8. These two platforms are based on the newest Intel
Technology which provides greatly increased performance. The low-end
platform, VG2, introduces UltraFlex™ technology for the first time in
this level of NAS product and improves the system availability with the
option of two Control Stations for high availability failover.

CEPA support for NFS audit applications
This feature provides event notifications and context to audit
applications that monitor the NFS file system activity on Celerra, which
run in the Windows environment. The audit applications require event
notifications, from the Data Mover, to organize the access of information
that is stored on the Celerra file system.
To provide this functionality, the Celerra Event Publishing Agent
(CEPA) API was modified to allow the applications to obtain the
required Data Mover event information without blocking the CIFS or
NFS client applications.
To use this feature, the audit applications need to register for post-event
notifications through the CEPA API. The CEPA API consists of an IDL
file and an XML DTD file. These files contain information that is
required by the audit application to interact with the CEPA. The audit
application may coexist with the Celerra Event Enabler (CEE) framework
on the same client (where Local RPC is used for communication) or on
the remote client (where MS-RPC is used for communication). The CEE
facilitates the use of selected third-party applications with the Celerra file
systems. It provides event values containing the required context as
defined by the audit applications for each class.
As more vendor applications are added to each class, the events and
associated context are modified to accommodate the applications.

14

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

New features and changes

The Celerra Event Publishing Agent technical module provides more
information.

CLARiiON SATA EFD disk volumes
CLARiiON SATA EFD disk volumes are now supported, in addition to
CLARiiON Fibre Channel disk volumes. Celerra support includes the
ability for users to provision storage and create / extend file systems on
these drives.
The SATA EFD drives are treated identically to FC EFD drives which
mean both drive types can be part of the storage pool, one drive type can
be replaced with another, and file systems can span FC EFD and SATA
EFD drives.
The Managing Celerra Volumes and File Systems with AVM book has
more details relating to EFD drives.

Control Station Linux upgrade
As of this release, the Celerra Control Station is upgraded to Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL 5). RHEL 5 leverages new security features,
updates, and bug fixes in the kernel and applications provided by
RedHat.

Dual port 10GbE SLIC for Data Movers
A new dual-port 10GbE UltraFlex I/O Adapter is being made available
for the NS960, NSG2 and NSG8 platforms. This I/O Adapter doubles the
effective throughput from the prior generation, which consisted of a
single port card. In addition, the UltraFlex form factor allows for easy
installation and upgrade to any chassis that supports UltraFlex adapters.

Express Install
Express Install introduces a method to reset the Celerra system back to
its default factory configuration.

FAST Cache for the Provisioning wizard
As of this release, Celerra supports EMC FAST Cache as an extension to
the dynamic random access memory (DRAM). This extended cache can
potentially improve performance of the overall system by increasing
write cache size at a comparably low cost.
FAST Cache can be configured anytime by using Unisphere. The
provisioning wizard in CSA and UMPW provides you with an option to
EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

New features and changes

skip the provisioning of the EFD drives in order to configure them as the
FAST Cache drives (maximum 6). You can continue to provision the
remaining drives for file / block use.

FLARE R30
Celerra Network Server now supports the latest CLARiiON FLARE
release, R30 when installed on CLARiiON CX4 storage arrays. It
supports all R30 features, but does not actively support Fully
Provisioned Pool LUNs, Auto-Tiering and Compression.
TM

Refer to the E-Lab Interoperability Navigator at
http://Support.EMC.com for more specific FLARE version numbers.

IPv6
IPv6 is fully supported and configurable by means of the CLI, and
partially supported (read-only and some limited configuration) by
means of Unisphere.
CLI commands
All CLI commands now support IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. There are
some new commands provided specifically to handle IPv6. Some
existing commands have updated syntax to support IPv6 addresses.
Supported areas include: NFSv2/v3, FTP, TFTP, NIS, DNS, partial
LDAP, Kerberos, CIFS, iSCSI, Network, NTP, NFSv4, Secure NFS,
UserMapper, ReplicationV2, XLT, CDMS, FileMover, Control Station,
SNMPv1 traps, SNMPv3, MirrorView, SRDF, CAVA/VirusChecker,
ConnectEMC and Celerra XML API V2. The Configuring andManaging
Celerra Networking technical module provides detailed information about
IPv6 networking.
IPv6 read-only support
Unisphere provides IPv6 read-only support with a few exceptions. If
IPv6 is configured by means of the CLI, that configuration is visible on
the Unisphere. The information about auto-generated link-local
interfaces and routes is not visible by means of Unisphere.
The IPv6 addresses in drop down lists and checkboxes display IPv6
configuration information and are selectable. IPv6 addresses in
hyperlinks navigate to the appropriate destination. Some screens allow
the selection of IPv6 address for configuration in CIFS and Replication.
The netmask field displays either an IPv4 subnet mask for IPv4
addresses or a non-editable IPv6 prefix for IPv6 addresses.

16

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

New features and changes

The broadcast address is blank for IPv6. The IPv4 network
configurations are fully supported. When there are combined
configurations of IPv4 and IPv6, changes via Unisphere are prohibited.
Unisphere wizards, including the CIFS, Control Station, iSCSI, Network,
Replication, and Set up Celerra wizards provide read-only support for
IPv6. Lists containing IPv6 address are selectable, but not editable.
CBM applications
Client-side CBM applications may not work with an IPv6 configured
iSCSI LUN.
Celerra Monitor
Celerra Monitor provides read-only support for IPv6. When IPv4 is
configured, the screen displays the IP address, netmask, and broadcast
fields. When IPv6 is configured, the screen displays IP address and the
subnet prefix length fields.
CSA
The Celerra Startup Assistant (CSA) does not provide IPv6 support at
this time. A new CLI command (nas_cs) provides IPv6 support.
IPv4-only or IPv4/IPv6 environment?
Should you configure IPv4-only environment or a dual stack IPv4/IPv6
environment? When deciding this, you need to answer the following
question:
In my environment, do any nodes or peers served by the Celerra use
the IPv6 protocol?
If you answer yes, the Celerra and associated infrastructure, such as
routing, Domain Name System (DNS), and Network Information Service
(NIS), should be configured for a dual stack environment.
Link-local information
The Celerra XML API V2 supports IPv6, however the auto-generated
link-local information is not visible for the XML API V2.
The application protocols are not supported via link-local interfaces. The
link-local related information is supported only for IPv6 core protocols
such as Duplicate-Address-Detection, Router Discovery, Neighbor
Discovery, and ICMP6 and is exposed only via the server_ping6
command at this time. Only the CLI will have the view of all the IPv6
interfaces.
MMC

New features and changes

support. That is, MMC accepts both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that you
input. Machines hosting MMC must be running Vista or Windows
Server 2008 or later to support IPv6.

Kerberos authentication support for LDAP-based directory services
In this release Celerra adds support for Kerberos authentication to the
LDAP-based directory services provided by Active Directory with
Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX (SFU) or Identity Management for
UNIX (IdMU).
When configuring LDAP, the Data Mover’s directory client can now use
Kerberos, simple (password), or SSL authentication. Anonymous
authentication is not allowed.
Kerberos authentication means the Data Mover, configured as a CIFS
server, uses a KDC to confirm the Data Mover’s identity when accessing
the Active Directory.
The Configuring Celerra Naming Services technical module describes how
to configure a Data Mover which is configured to use Active Directory
with SFU or IdMU to use Kerberos authentication.

MAC OS 10.6
In this release, EMC qualified MAC 0S 10.5 and 10.6 in a CIFS protocol
environment. File access protocol using native CIFS protocol stack in
MAC-OS client has been verified in term of compatibility with Celerra
CIFS implementation. The 'AppleSingle' feature which is using data
stream to store resource information instead of a second file associated to
the data file has also been validated (with MAC-OS 10.6, this is the
default behavior on the client mount option).

MPFS Operating Systems
MPFS now supports Windows 7 clients (x86 and x86_64), Windows 2008
R2 (x86_64 only), CentOS 5.4 (x86 and x86_64), SLES 10 SP3 (x86, x86_64)
and SLES 11 (x86 and x86_64 only). CentOS is supported over MPFSiSCSI only. All other operating systems are supported over Fibre
Channel and iSCSI. For Windows 7 and Windows 008 R2, MPFS
supports SMB1, SMB2 and SMB2.1 versions of the CIFS protocol.

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

New features and changes

NDMP
Increased NDMP backup streams
The increased NDMP backup concurrent streams feature enables the
Celerra Network Server to increase the maximum number of
simultaneous concurrent backup sessions from four to eight. It verifies
that the system memory is at least 8 GB, and then sets the value to eight.
If the system memory is less than 8 GB, the value defaults to four
simultaneous sessions. The Celerra Network Server Parameters Guide
provides more detailed information about this feature.
To support eight concurrent backup or restore streams:


The backup client (DMA) must be compatible and configured to run
eight concurrent streams.



The Data Mover must have at least 8 GB memory.

Increasing the number of concurrent sessions to eight may result in an
increase in the utilization of CPU and system memory. The Configuring
NDMP Backups on Celerra technical module provides more information.
NDMPcopy
The NDMPcopy feature is an open source program that allows users to
copy file system data within the Data Mover or between different Data
Movers that are on the same or different Celerra.
The NDMPcopy enables users to directly transfer data from the source to
the destination file system, without traversing the NDMPcopy host
machine or network (if the source and destination file systems are on the
same Data Mover). It uses NDMP (Network Data Management Protocol)
to transfer the file system data.
With the NDMPcopy program, the NDMP host and network (if the
source and destination file systems are on the same Data Mover) are not
overloaded, because the data transfers take place directly from the
source to the destination. The NDMPcopy program contacts the NDMP
server processes on the source and destination file systems, and
authenticates the connection. It then initiates data transfers between the
source and destination file systems. The NDMP host receives status
messages only.
The NDMPcopy also provides multiprotocol (NFS/CIFS) support. EMC
recommends using the NDMPcopy program for data transfers only. The
NDMPcopy may affect the scheduling of backup activities in the same
source, as it modifies the BackupDates file on the Data Mover. It uses the
text mode for authentication and so the password is sent across the
EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

19

New features and changes

network in a non-encrypted format.
The Configuring NDMP Backups on Celerra technical module provides
more information.
NDMP port range
The NDMP port range feature allows users to configure the port range to
use a limited range of TCP ports that correspond to the ports for which
the firewall allows inbound connections. EMC recommends setting the
NDMP port range using dynamic or private ports (49152-65535) of
IANA. The required minimum value of the port width is 32; however,
EMC recommends setting the width to at least 100. Setting the port range
does not imply that these ports are reserved for NDMP connection.
When the port range is set, NDMP selects a random port number from
the specified port range as the data connection listening port. If the port
range is not set, the default port range is used.
NDMP is incompatible with NAT (Network Address Translation)
firewalls. It uses the existing server_param management interface and is
independent of the DMA. Configuring the NDMP port range allows the
Data Mover to use a limited range of TCP ports that correspond to the
ports for which the firewall allows inbound connections. The Configuring
NDMP Backups on Celerra technical module and the Celerra Network Server
Parameters Guide provide more detailed information about NDMP port
range.

pNFS
With this release, the Celerra Network Server provides a conforming
implementation of NFSv4.1 in order to support pNFS. The pNFS is a part
of NFS version 4.1 that allows clients to access storage devices directly
and in parallel. In order to support pNFS, the Celerra Network Server
fully supports all required NFSv4.1 functionality. The pNFS architecture
enhances the scalability and performance of the existing NFSv4 servers.
This is achieved by the separation of data and metadata, and moving the
metadata server out of the data path.

Quotas
Choose and set a quota policy
As of this release, administrators can change the quota limit check policy
without turning off (disabling) all of the quotas on the file system. The
new policy change will be applied after the Data Mover is rebooted.

20

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

New features and changes

The technical module Using Quotas on Celerra provides additional
information about this change.

RSA Common Security Toolkit module
In this release the RSA Common Security Toolkit (CST) module replaces
the CAMS Common Sign-On (CSO) module which was previously used
to handle remote authentication of Celerra administrative users against
an external directory server.
CST changes the operation of the directory server settings test function.
The Celerra Security Configuration Guide and Unisphere Settings > User
Management online help provide more information about this feature.

Samba 4
Celerra supports Samba 4, except for the Samba 4 domain controller.
Samba is an open source / free software suite that provides file and print
services to all manner of SMB/CIFS clients, including the numerous
versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems.

SAN Copy
SAN Copy™ replication is an array based replication technology. The
performance and scalability of array based solutions is better for largescale migration than host based applications. SAN Copy is integrated
into the Unisphere console and simplifies the configuration and
management of LUN migrations through a user friendly GUI interface.
The SAN Copy CLI Reference Guide and the on-line help contain
additional information about SAN Copy.

SMI-S v1.4
The new SMI-S feature enables generic SMI-S compliant clients to
manage a Celerra using CIM (Common Information Model) operations
defined for NAS.
This feature delivers two components of WBEM (Web Based Enterprise
Management) infrastructure; namely a CIM Server and a Provider. Both
components are embedded on the Celerra Control Station. SMI-S
contains an API that storage management applications can use to
provide standardized view of a Celerra. Providing a compliant API in
SMI-S terms means supporting profiles and sub-profiles of the NAS
domain. For Celerra, this means supporting the NAS Head Profile at a
minimum, along with its mandatory subprofiles.
EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

21

New features and changes

SNMPv3
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) collects and
processes valuable network information. It gathers data by polling the
devices on the network from a management station at fixed or random
intervals.
In this release, a new SNMP agent, the SNMP daemon (SNMPD), which
runs on the Data Mover, supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3.
SNMPv3 supports IPv4, IPv6, and enhanced security over SNMPv1 and
SNMPv2c.
SNMPv3 provides important security features such as:


Authentication to verify that the message is from a valid source



Encryption of packets to prevent snooping by an unauthorized
source



Message integrity to ensure that a packet is not tampered with in
transit

Tolerance for 8 GB FC in Symmetrix
When a Celerra gateway with 4G Fibre Channel (FC) is attached through
a switch to a Symmetrix platform incorporating an 8 GB FC card, there is
no loss of or change in functionality. The communication rate
automatically drops to 4 GB (Symmetrix platform data rate negotiation)
and operation continues as expected.

Tools
Windows event log auto archive
With Windows operating system, applications can use the event logging
mechanism to log their own events. VNX currently supports three such
event logs that are security, system, and applications.
The physical format of these logs use a Microsoft format called 'evt' that
has a limitation of 4 GB in size because there are some fields stored on 32
bits integers. Windows 2008 has introduced a new format 'evtx' that does
not have this limitation.
The event log auto archive feature allows you to automatically archive
an event log on a particular trigger and to continue the logging on a new
event log without losing any events. The archive is triggered on a time
and/or on an event log size basis defined by parameters in the Windows
registry. You can specify a retention policy to keep the event log archives
before they can be recycled based on the duration and/or the total
archive disk size.
22

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

New features and changes

All parameters are stored in the Windows registry of each VDM.
Therefore, each VDM will have its own configuration. The parameters
can be viewed and edited with tools like regedit. The Configuring and
Managing CIFS on VNX technical module provides more information
about this feature.

Unisphere
Version 6.0.x introduces Unisphere. Unisphere is a unified SAN/NAS
application providing uniform and intuitive management and
monitoring services. It replaces Celerra Manager, Navisphere Manager,
and Navisphere Express.
Highlights of the new Unisphere application include:


Single sign-on for a user identity common to multiple Celerra and
CLARiiON systems. This functionality is facilitated by creating a
global domain user who can also manage Celerra systems. This
common user only needs to log in to one system in the domain in
order to access and manage all systems.



Management of up to 50 Celerra and CLARiiON systems within a
single Unisphere instance.



System summary views in a new dashboard that provides alerts and
status summaries for the managed system list populated by the user.



Participation in storage domains by both CLARiiON and Celerra
systems.



Cross-linking capability for LUN, disk group, storage pool, and
storage system properties from Celerra to the relevant CLARiiON.
Note: All existing Celerra features, with the exception of message-of-the-day
and system monitoring after session timeout, are supported within
Unisphere.

The following table lists where each Celerra Manager view can be found
in Unisphere. In some cases, Celerra Manager views map only to tasks
found in Unisphere’s left-pane task list.

Upgrade media
Dual Compact Disk
As of this release, the upgrade media is delivered on dual CDs. An outof-family upgrade, for example, V5.6 to V6.0 requires both CDs. The
software upgrade prompts the user to swap CDs when necessary.
DVD
The upgrade media is available on one DVD for users of Control Stations
that have optical drives capable of reading DVD discs.

Users and roles
Version 6.0.x introduces several changes to the Celerra user and rolebased access feature.
CLI role-based user access
A user account is always associated with a primary group and each
group is assigned a role. A role defines the privileges (that is, the
operations) the user can perform on a particular Celerra object.
In version 6.0.x, Celerra extends support for assigning role-based
privileges to a user accessing Celerra through the CLI. The ability to
select a predefined role or define a custom role that gives a user the
necessary privileges to execute a command is not available for all CLI
commands. Certain commands can only be performed by the default
user accounts root and nasadmin or, in some cases, by a user account
associated with the root and nasadmin roles.
You create and manage role-based user access in Unisphere Settings >
User Management > Roles. You must be root or a user who has root or
security operator privileges to create a user account and to associate it
with a group and role.

Known problems and limitations

help provide more information about the specific command actions for
which privileges can be controlled.

Unisphere storage domain users and roles
To simplify access and privileges for users managing both CLARiiON
and Celerra systems in Unisphere, user accounts created to manage
CLARiiON storage are mapped to Celerra user accounts, groups, and
roles so that CLARiiON storage users can be given privileges to access
and control Celerra objects. Groups and roles with the prefix sd_listed in
Unisphere Settings> User Management views are mapped from
CLARiiON storage domain groups and roles.

Known problems and limitations
CDMS
Connecting to a Solaris secondary server
Users are unable to create a CDMS or a FileMover connection to a Solaris
secondary server using TCP with IPv6. IPv6 with NFSv3 will not be able
to create this connection.
If UDP is chosen instead of TCP, this type of connection will work with a
Data Mover NFS server. This problem has only been seen with Solaris
NFS servers.
Workaround
Specify UDP as the transport protocol instead of using the default TCP.
This option can be set with both the server_cdms and fs_dhsm
commands.
Celerra Event Enabler
The following known problems and limitations pertain to Celerra Event
Enabler:
CAVA/CEPA servers
Each Data Mover should have a CAVA pool consisting of a minimum of
two CAVA servers specified in the Data Mover’s “viruschecker.conf”
file, or a CEPA pool consisting of a minimum of two CEPA servers
specified in the Data Mover’s “cepp.conf” file.

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

27

Known problems and limitations

CIFS and NFS clients
The CAVA feature of the CEE product is for CIFS and NFS clients. If FTP
protocols are used to modify files, the files will not be scanned for
viruses. No UNIX antivirus application support is provided.
File-Level Retention
It is strongly recommended that the antivirus (AV) administrator
updates the virus definition files on all resident AV engines in the CAVA
pools, and periodically run a full file system scan of the file system to
detect infected FLR files. The Using Celerra AntiVirus Agent technical
module provides additional information about virus definition updates.
Microsoft Access
Do not scan Microsoft Access database files in real time. Files inside a
database are not scanned.
Windows 64-bit operating systems
In order to run CEE on Windows 64-bit operating systems, the Celerrato-CEE communications must be over Microsoft RPC (MS-RPC). The
version of CEE that runs on Windows 64-bit operating systems is
supported with Celerra version 5.6.45 or later and CEE version 4.5.0.4 or
later.
Celerra iSCSI AIX
A known problem with SMIT (System Management Interface Tool) in
AIX versions 5.2, 5.3, and 6.1 prevents it from creating and handling
compliant IQN names for iSCSI nodes.
As a workaround, manually edit the file /etc/iscsi/targets to enter or
modify IQN names. Check the IBM support website for additional
information.
Configurations
Celerra iSCSI configurations in the backend replication environment do
not support TimeFinder®/FS, NearCopy, and FarCopy.
Host connectivity issues
Check the following guides for issues related to the Microsoft initiator,
QLogic HBAs, and compatibility with the Windows operating system:

Host Connectivity Guide for Windows



Host Connectivity Guide for Linux

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

Known problems and limitations

These guides are available from EMC Online Support at
http://Support.EMC.com.
Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator
EMC Celerra iSCSI supports the most current version of the Microsoft
iSCSI Software Initiator, which is available as a free download from
Microsoft’s website (search for iSCSI initiator). This section contains
known issues with the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator.
Initiator uses only the first network portal of a target
An iSCSI target on the Celerra Network Server may have multiple
network portals configured for it; however, the Microsoft iSCSI initiator
GUI uses only the first network portal of a target.
Note: Applies only to Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator versions 2.0 and
earlier.

Workaround
Use the Microsoft initiator CLI to access other portals.

Control Station
Authentication failure
Following a dual Control Station upgrade to Celerra Network Server
version 6.0, users can log in successful using LDAP on the primary.
When the Control Station fails over, the LDAP login no longer works.
The following error is displayed: Session timeout. Relogin and
try this operation again. This issue only affects LDAP users;
local root/nasadmin accounts and global accounts are still available.
Workaround
Run /nas/site/cst_setup -reset to resync the CST settings. Once
those settings are synced, you will be able to failover/failback and
successfully be able to login each time using LDAP.
Configuring LDAP domain settings
When the Control Station is freshly installed and the Custom Active
Directory page is used to configure the initial LDAP domain settings, the
distinguish name is not set properly. Testing the Domain Settings
generates an error similar to the following: Primary server 12.3.45.67
bind error. This issue only occurs during the initial setting. Once the
EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

29

Known problems and limitations

initial setting is done, the issue never happens again.
Workaround
Use the 'Default Active Directory' option to configure the initial LDAP
domain settings and then use the other options to change the settings.
Copying large files to remote over NFS
When a user copies very large files from the Control Station to a remote
file system over NFS on a slow network, other users of that Control
Station may experience slow performance when running CLI commands.
For dual Control Stations, this issue can cause the Control Stations to fail
over. Over time, the Control Station will correct itself, and performance
will return to normal.
Domain attributes
After a Control Station failover on a Celerra that is a member of a storage
domain, the administrator will not be able to use or see domain changes
made while the Celerra was in the CS failover state.
Workaround
Continue using the Celerra with the domain attributes it currently has, or
remove the Celerra from the domain and re-add it.
Linux automount
The /nasmcd/quota and /nasmcd/rootfs directories are used to nfs
mount the root FS of the Data Movers using the Linux automount
package. Occasionally, automount's attempts to perform this nfs mount
fail, resulting in the requested Data Mover file system not being
available. This problem happens more frequently when there are
multiple automount requests for the same share over a short period of
time. When the mount does fail, retrying the attempt after a short delay
will usually be successful.
One area that may be impacted by a mount failure is quota management,
as it relies on access to files under /nasmcd/quota to retrieve quota
information. The quota functionality and other operational aspects of the
Data Movers are not affected.
Security auditing
When security auditing is stopped for any reason, for example, due to a
lack of disk space, no alert is raised to the administrator.

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

Known problems and limitations

Deduplication
Deduplicated data space not reclaimed
A race condition occurs between removal of deduplicated files and file
system unmount operations. Under certain conditions, deduplicated
data space may not be reclaimed from the file system when files are
removed. Messages similar to the following are displayed in the
server_log when this issue occurs:
2010-05-09 09:40:57: 13163036672: DEDUPE: 3: Cannot
find file system with id 15, cannot cleanup object
<dart://rde..."
Free Space
During the deduplication process, the file system must have enough free
space available that is equivalent to the size of the original file to be
deduplicated plus the size of the compressed version of the file to be
stored. An additional 1 percent of the file system must be free, or if autoextension is enabled, an additional 1 percent below the auto-extension
threshold must be free.
Restoring space-reduced files
Restoring space-reduced files from a PAX-based NDMP backup into a
file system causes the deduplication state to be set to suspended if the
deduplication state is not currently enabled.
I/O errors reported or deduplicated data space not reclaimed
A race condition occurs during domain re-initialization. Under certain
conditions, I/O errors can be reported or deduplicated data space may
not be reclaimed from the file system when files are removed. Messages
similar to the following are displayed in the server_log when this issue
occurs:
removeFromSecondaryStorage could not determine ssp

File-Level Retention
Prior to Celerra version 5.6.43.9, FLR protected empty locked files from
being deleted. As of version 5.6.43.9, both FLR-E and FLR-C allow the
deletion of empty locked files and empty append-only files. Any locked
or append-only file that contains data will be protected.
This behavior will be changed in a future release such that all locked and
append-only files will be protected regardless of whether they contain

Known problems and limitations

data.

File system
Mounting file systems
When mounting a file system as read-only on two (or more) Data
Movers, the following error message appears on the copy file system pop
up: "There are no Data Movers interconnect available on server_3,
server_2".
The error message is misleading and can be ignored. EMC does not
support creating a copy of a file system that is to be mounted to more
than one Data Mover.
nas_fsck command
A race condition occurs when using nas_fsck command on file systems
smaller than 2G. This causes the file system to be unavailable to the user.
Timestamp mismatch
After a restore operation, a timestamp mismatch occurs on the softlinks
with file names longer than 83 characters. The timestamp shows current
time (i.e. time of restoration) instead of the original timestamp on the
link.

Installation and upgrades
Celerra now joined to domain during upgrade
The Celerra is now being joined to the CLARiiON domain automatically
during an upgrade. You can use Unisphere to elevate the privileges of
any user that has been transferred from the Domain to the Celerra. This
does not occur for gateway machines, however. For gateways, users will
need to join the Celerra to the domain they want it to be a part of.
Celerra Startup Assistant
After a fresh factory Express Install of an NS40FC system, the CSA fails
on the Pre-Configuration apply changes page with the following error:
CLARiiON's Domain Join Setup | Command Failed.
If this occurs, ignore the error; this step should not have been tried, and
failure poses no operational problems.

32

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

Known problems and limitations

CallHome messages
The Celerra uses connectEMC 2.6 software to deliver callhome messages
to EMC. The outgoing mail functionality of this version issues duplicate
HELO/EHLO commands. This is in accordance with RFC 2821,
however, some mail servers do not support this (especially older mail
servers). If this occurs in your environment, consider updating your mail
server.
Control LUN requirements enforced
There is strict enforcement of the control LUN size and HLU numbers
for fresh installations. An exact match between the LUN capacity and the
correct HLU value is required. Mismatches will generate a "Control LUN
Check Failed" error message during installation. You must correct the
control LUNs before installation can complete successfully.
Determining NAS version
While using CUT to perform an upgrade from 5.6 to 6.0, the CUT tool
presented a pop up saying it could not determine the nas_version, after
or during the Linux upgrade portion of the upgrade. Retrying the task
succeeds.
Error message
While upgrading from version 5.6 to 6.0, the following error message is
displayed: Error - cannot open /usr/sbin/ext2online /dev/hda1.
This error can be ignored, as it does not stop the upgrade and the task
completes successfully.
Gateway and FC-enabled systems
During upgrades of gateway and FC-enabled systems, a message stating
that the Celerra was joined to the back-end domain is presented. That
message is incorrect, and can be ignored. The Celerra can be joined to the
domain using CLI commands or via UEM on the domain master system.
Incorrect certificate
Users may experience an invalid certificate after fresh installing their
system.
Workaround
Set the correct time on the Control Station and regenerate the certificate,
or wait for the certificate to become valid and login again.
EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

33

Known problems and limitations

nasadmin credentials
If you pause and resume the upgrade, the "Clariion domain nasadmin
Credentials" screen is not displayed.
Workaround
Use the nas storage command to change the password of nasadmin.
nasadmin password
When logging in globally and attempting to change the nasadmin
password, an authentication error is generated and users are not allowed
to change the password. The workaround is to use a nas storage
command to change the password of nasadmin.
Password confirmation
The "Clariion domain nasadmin Credentials" screen in the Celerra
Upgrade Tool (CUT) currently does not have a confirm password field.
Users can mistype the password without knowing it, and will be unable
to log in.
PUHC "Check for running tasks" fails
While upgrading from version 5.6 to 6.0 using USM, the PUHC "Check
for running tasks" fails and offers a set of actions to take. These actions
do not work. The first step says to type the following;
"<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*
nas_license -list". Neither of the 2 steps offer strings work if typed in as
specified and produce errors.
Supported hardware
When attempting to run USM on unsupported hardware
(CNS|CFS|NS350|NS500|NS600|NS700), the Celerra Upgrade Tool
will correctly exit but exit code is not passed back to the USM. Therefore,
the USM tries to continue the upgrade process but will fail on the next
step that interacts with the Celerra system.
The error returned at that point does not give a clear indication of what
the actual failure was. If you see unclear error messages while using
USM, make sure that you are using a supported hardware platform.
Upgrade paused
During an upgrade with the CLI, and when it was paused during the
Control Station reboot, the Upgrade wizard and on the welcome screen
tells user that the upgrade is paused and allows user to resume the

upgrade. Do not use the wizard to resume an upgrade that is started in
the CLI.
Multibyte support
Using multibyte characters in fields in which they are not supported. If
you use multibyte characters in data element fields that do not support
multibyte characters (for example, checkpoint schedule descriptions),
these fields will not display correctly. If you want these fields to be
readable, you will have to recreate or rename the existing data element
text using the ASCII character set.
Refer to PRIMUS emc224755 for more detailed information about this
limitation.
Using multibyte characters with ECC
Celerra version 5.6.40.3 and later may cause discovery and name display
issues for ECC 6.x if certain Celerra object names use non-ASCII
characters. The relevant names are:


File system name



Mount point name



CIFS share name



NFS export name



Quota user name

Discovery issue
If non-ASCII characters are used and if the name is more than 63
characters, discovery may not work.
Garbled name display issue
If these names use non-ASCII characters, the names do not display
properly in ECC. However any ASCII characters used in the name do
display properly. Furthermore, the name itself and the underlying data
on the Celerra system are not affected.
Suggested Workarounds
 Use only ASCII characters in the specified object names when using
ECC for Celerra discovery. If multibyte characters must be used,
keep all applicable object names under 63 characters.


Since ASCII characters display properly, append or prepend ASCII
characters to object names so you can use these characters to find the
correct name.

NDMP
Incremental NDMP backups and NDMPcopy operations
Incremental NDMP backups and NDMPcopy operations use the same
last backup timestamp tracking for each data set on a Data Mover. A
data set in this context means the point where the backup or copy
operation starts (e.g., the root of a file system or a specific sub-directory
within a file system). This means that if incremental NDMP backup and
NDMPcopy operations of the same data set (i.e., starting from the same
point within a file system) are interleaved, then the following will occur:


The incremental backup will contain only changes in that data set
since the NDMPcopy operation instead of since the last backup
operation.



The incremental NDMPcopy of that data set will copy only those
files changed since the NDMP backup instead of since the last
NDMPcopy operation.
To avoid this, do not interleave NDMP backup operations with
incremental NDMPcopy operations of the same data set; if you do,
perform a full NDMP backup of that data set after any NDMPcopy
activity.

Vendor support
Not all NDMP vendor versions support this version of Celerra Network
Server. For the latest NDMP Vendors/Versions/Patches and restrictions
supported in this version of Celerra Network Server, refer to the Backup
section of the E-Lab Interoperability Navigator.

Network
Do not disable IP reflects when using IPv6. System may panic when
using IPv6 if IP reflect is disabled.

NFS
Cached files
If a client mounts exported parent and child paths of the same file
system, it is possible to access the same file from two different mount
points. If client side caching is enabled, the client may end up
maintaining two different versions of a cached file.

Known problems and limitations

Celerra Data Migration System
Access to online migration file systems while using CDMS is not
supported by NFSv4 clients until migration completes.
When NFSv4 is used, it triggers directory migration of subdirectories
and requires global lock for the entire Data Mover. Therefore, the Data
Mover will be inaccessible during the migration.
NFS export failure
If the export of a corrupted file system fails, the export entry of the file
system which was corrupted & cleaned using FSCK is not seen in the
export list. However, if user manually exports it again, the entry can
properly be seen in the NFS export.

Quotas
Performance statistics
Termination summary is not sorted for Set statistics if a statpath name is
duplicated in the server_stats command. The following example will not
have a sorted termination summary: server_stats server_x monitor store.diskVolume,store.diskVolume -sort
writes.
This issue does not impact the sorting of the sampled data displayed
periodically during the server_stats session, only the termination
summary at the end of the session is impacted.
Workaround
Not using duplicate statpath names when -sort is specified will eliminate
this issue. For example: server_stats server_x –monitor
store.diskVolume -sort writes.

Replication
nas_copy command
When using Replication V2 and the nas_copy command, there is a
window where if the X-Blade reboots, results may not be properly
reflected. The transfer will complete but the task is not cleaned up and
the appropriate status is not reported back to the user. Once completed,
the task can be manually aborted.

SRDF/S
nas_rdf –activate
The nas_rdf –activate –reverse command may fail to swap device-pair
personalities during the activate. This occurs when the source Celerra
has a TimeFinder/FS snapshot/s created on R1BCVs which use
TimeFinder Emulation mode (Symm 8 supports Emulation mode only).
The error message below is specific to the personality swap and having
remotely protected storage, and does not impact the successful activation
of the destination Celerra system.
Error message in nas_rdf –activate –reverse:
An RDF 'Swap Personality' operation execution is in
progress for device group '1R2_500_3'. Please wait...
Cannot use the device for this function because it is
a Copy Session target
ERROR 13431799810: Swap operation of device group
1R2_500_3 failed due to the improper backend state or
configuration.
Run 'nas_message -info 13431799810' to get full
description and recommended action.
Workaround
Canceling the relationship between the R1BCV mirrored volumes and
the R1STD volumes is needed to complete the swap operation.
After the SRDF restore completes, the SYMAPI will automatically
request a full establish during the subsequent fs_timefinder –M refresh
command to the snapshots built on the canceled R1BCV volumes.

To find R1BCV volumes, run /nas/symcli/bin/symrdf –g
<r2 group name> query –bcv on the destination SRDF
system. If the same device ID is seen in the output that is the
R1BCV device you need to cancel.

5

To prepare for the cancel operation, create a file which has all
R1BCV volume pairs to cancel on destination SRDF system.
Example of the file:
# cat file
# <standard device id><bcv device id>
0068 00B8
0069 00B9

To cancel the R1BCV volumes, run
/nas/symcli/bin/symmir –sid <source sid> -f <file
name> cancel on the destination SRDF system.

7

To confirm the canceled volume, run
/nas/symcli/bin/symmir –sid <source symm id> list
on the destination SRDF system. The canceled volumes should
not be listed in the output.

8

To compete the activate reverse operation, run
/nas/sbin/nas_rdf –activate –reverse on the
destination SRDF system.

nas_rdf –restore
The nas_rdf –restore command may fail on SRDF system which uses
TimeFinder Emulation mode (Symm 8 supports Emulation mode only)
with R2BCV mirrored volumes. Error message in nas_rdf –restore:

Nas_rdf –init command fails
Problem:
During the SRDF discover remote storage devices process, the nas_rdf init command fails and returns the following error: "Unable to setup
remote devices".
Workaround:
Delete the device group for R2 devices using /nas/symcli/bin/symdg
delete <DgName> -force.
For example: /nas/symcli/bin/symdg delete 1R2_500_13 –force. Then
run nas_rdf –init, to re-create the R2 device group.

Known problems and limitations

SSD drives not supported
SRDF/S does not support solid state disk (SSD) drives. If you attempt to
configure an SSD drive with SRDF/S, Celerra health check operations
reject the device as an unsupported storage.

Unisphere
The following notes apply to Unisphere.
Adding a system to a Celerra-CLARiiON domain
When users attempt to add a system to a Celerra-CLARiiON domain and
uses a LOCAL scope to authenticate to the remote system, it appears to
work. However, the system does not actually get added to the domain.
The correct procedure is to authenticate to the system to be added with a
GLOBAL scope user that is part of the root group.
Adding a system to a Celerra-Symmetrix domain
When attempting to log into a Celerra that has a Symmetrix backend and
is part of a storage domain, you may see the following message on the
console: "Target system already managed." If this occurs, log out, wait 15
minutes, and log in again or close the domain master page and restart
your browser session.
Adding a system to a second domain
Adding a Celerra to one domain followed by adding it to a second
domain from a non-master CLARiiON may result in the Celerra
appearing to be in both domains at the same time, depending on which
system scope you are in.
Workaround
Remove the Celerra from the first domain before adding it to a different
one. If you have already added it to both you can still remove it from the
one that you are trying to get it out of.
File Type field is Blank in Export to File Dialog with JRE 1.7
The “File Type” field is empty when the “Export to File” dialog is
displayed. This happens only with JRE 1.7. No file is created in the
destination folder and the dialog closes without an error.
Workaround
The workaround is to select the file type from the “File Type” drop
down.

JRE install auto link gives an error
Unisphere will prompt a message to install JRE 1.6 if JRE is not installed.
The JRE install link in this message does not work.
Workaround
The workaround is to install JRE 1.6 directly from the Oracle website.

Alerts
For performance and memory usage reasons, the alerts displayed in
Unisphere are now limited to 400. A new alert has been added to notify
the administrator if there are more than 400 alerts:
Severity: Critical
System: <hostname>
Domain: Local
Created: <timestamp>
Message: Too many alerts on <hostname>.
Full Description: This system has more than 400 alerts.
Until you delete the alerts, you will only see the top 400
alerts (by date and severity) for this system.
Recommended Action: Delete the alerts on this system to
clear them from the list of alerts.
Event Code: 0x240060005

Do not attempt to delete the "Too many alerts" alert in Unisphere. Unlike
most of the other alerts, this alert will clear itself if the condition is
resolved and the total number of alerts for a system is reduced to fewer
than 400. If you include this new alert in a selected list to be deleted, the
alerts will appear to be deleted, but will be reloaded once a new browser
session is started.
A failure will be posted to /nas/log/webui/apl_tm.log, but no failure
will be displayed in Unisphere.

Browsers
EMC requires the use of one of the following browsers to run Celerra
Manager:


Internet Explorer 6.0 SP2, 6.2.3 through 7.x.; Internet Explorer 7.1 is
recommended. Internet Explorer 8.0 is also supported.



Firefox 3.0 or later.

Firefox
Firefox Password Manager (PM) is enabled by default. This feature
records and stores the password that you enter on a website and then
automatically fills in the password entry field on your next and
subsequent visit. The password field masks the password with asterisks
(*).
To prevent Firefox from remembering passwords:
1.

Click Tools > Options... and select the Security tab.

2.

Under Passwords, clear the Remember password for sites checkbox.

Browser session hang
Depending upon a client's particular browser configuration (browser
type, version, JRE version, native OS, etc.), launching the USM tool from
the UEM may result in a browser session becoming hung.
If you verify that there are no hidden dialogs awaiting confirmation,
terminate the browser sessions and all associated processes. Rebooting
the client system may be required to restore full browser operation. To
prevent this issue in the future, launch the USM directly (i.e., not via
UEM).
Changes from other user interfaces
Any changes made to the network server using another user interface
such as the Celerra CLI are not automatically shown in Unisphere.
Refresh the browser to see these changes.
Changing default password
Changing the CLARiiON array default admin password breaks the
ability of the Celerra to communicate to the CLARiiON or make any
changes to its database [diskmark, discoveries, etc. will all fail].

Checkpoint schedule page
If the time zone of the Celerra Control Station and the client system
running the UEM are different the checkpoint schedule page will display
times in UTC (coordinated universal time).
Confirmation dialog inactive
While using Unisphere, a confirmation dialog appears briefly, and then
moves to the background. Users need to manually re-focus the window
and bring the dialog box to the foreground.
Dashboard screen
The data is not presented in the Celerra Capacity View screen in an
appropriate amount of time. However, the other dashboard screens are
loaded successfully.
Workaround
Close the Unisphere window and clean out the persistence files. On the
next restart of Unisphere - you will not see this issue.
To clean out the persistence files, follow these steps:
1.

Close the Unisphere application.

2.

Go to the Unisphere client log folder; the default should be
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\emc\Unisphere.

3.

Delete the persistence.ser file.

System List panel) or by opening a new browser session.
Help sessions
While getting a session timeout in a help session, some help text is
displayed, but none of the icons are displayed. Clicking OK button has
no effect. Workaround: Use the close button of browser to close the
window.
JRE memory limit
For optimal UI performance, EMC recommends that the memory limit
allocated to the JRE be increased. The default size of 64 MB is often too
small and may result in Out of memory errors.
To set the memory size, from the Start menu in Windows, select Settings
> Control Panel. Double-click the Java Plugin icon. Select the Advanced
tab. In the Java Runtime Parameters, enter the following: -Xmx512m
The argument specifies the maximum memory. Typically, about ½ the
size of your overall workstation's memory is recommended as the
maximum memory value. For instance, if your workstation has 1 GB of
memory, then use -Xmx512m for the JRE runtime parameter. If your
workstation has 2 GB or more memory, you can adjust the max JRE
memory as needed to avoid running out of Java memory and possibly
improving overall performance.
Logging in after browser crash
After a browser crash, the GUI reports "system already managed" when
user tries to log back in.
Logging in via multiple screens
Logging into Celerra via two or more screens may succeed, but logging
out of one of the sessions causes the other sessions to lose contact.
Login screen
When you log into Unisphere via a Celerra system, Unisphere will not
display a login screen if you click the “yes” button on the security

correct component information will be refreshed during the next
iteration of the cron job (approx. 5 to 10 minutes).
Mounts table view
The file system column in the Mounts table view gets stuck at "Loading"
for multiple minutes. The rest of the table is populated correctly.
Workaround: Refresh the page using the green arrow icon.
nbsnas/jserver filling up at 100%
Unisphere jserver mounted on /nbsnas/jserver filling up at 100%
prevents installation. When this occurs, the following error is displayed:
The feature identified has detected a potential capacity
issue that may need the attention of the system
administrator. The device name and mount point is indicated
in the event posting. Recommended Action: Check that the
mount point's condition is in fact approaching cautionary

Use normal administrative procedures to see if some free
space can be returned to the mount point, such as removing
unnecessary files or reorganizing areas of this mount point
off onto other less full mount points on the system. If no
means are available to reduce the space consumption on this
mount point then you may want to investigate if there is a
possibility that this mount point needs to be expanded to
allow for more free space. Contact your Authorized Service
Provider if you need assistance with this process or need to
discuss acquiring additional storage system capacity.

Slice volumes not listed in wizard
Occasionally, slice volumes created through the CLI or Unisphere
Volume Create page are not listed as available volumes in the New File
System Wizard when selecting Manual Volume Management and then
attempting to create a new stripe volume from the slice volumes.
Storage domain
When the Celerra belongs to a storage domain that is destroyed, the
storage domain users on the Celerra Control Station are not
automatically moved to the "defunct" state. To correct this, manually
remove all the storage domain users from the system by running the
command:
/nas/http/webui/bin/admin_management.pl defunctStorageUsers
Then remove the Celerra from the domain.
User’s tab displays unrelated messages
Unisphere > Settings > User's tab displays messages which are
unrelated to that screen. These messages are a result of a query that was
initiated by the user on some previous table screen.
Workaround
Visiting another table screen and then to coming back to the table screen
where the messages were seen should remove these messages.

Do not install Linux non-Celerra applications on the Control Station.
Doing so consumes resources and might adversely affect system
operation. Celerra Control Station is a dedicated controller and not
an applications platform.

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

Known problems and limitations



Do not manually edit the nas_db database without consulting EMC
Customer Service. Any changes to this file could cause problems
with your Celerra installation.

Command line scripts
The NAS database stores specific information required for each Data
Mover. The Celerra Network Server automatically performs a backup of
the entire database every hour and saves it to a file named
nasdb_backup.1.tar.gz. These backups start one minute after the hour.
EMC recommends that you check your scripts to make sure they are not
scheduled to start at the same time as the backups. During backup, the
database becomes locked or inaccessible, and some commands that rely
on the database might fail.
Correctable hardware errors
Transient correctable hardware errors are currently being handled by the
firmware. Although rare, if enough of these errors occur, a watchdog
panic can be triggered. In a future release, these errors will be handled
by the Celerra operating system instead of the firmware which will
improve efficiency and prevent the watchdog panic.
server_cpu
The server_cpu ALL -halt now command does not complete when using
Celerra NSX Network Servers. This is because the NSX needs at least one
Data Mover to be up in order to access its NAS partitions through NBS.
server_http
The server_http command fails if you issue it on a Data Mover while
running fsck. Other commands (including FileMover API) may not work
until fsck completes.
server_stats
On a Data Mover with more than 500 mounted file systems, the
following statistics fail to display: - store.logicalVolume.metaVolume metaVolumes-std. If any of these statistics are supplied as an argument
to server_stats -monitor option, the server_stats will hang. Use Ctrl-C to
terminate the session.

As with any UNIX-based operating system, refrain from performing
normal administrative activities as root user. Log in using the
administrative user account instead.
Shutting down a Data Mover or deleting an internal interface
Shutting down a Data Mover or deleting an internal interface will
prevent you from issuing any server_ commands against that Data
Mover. Whenever you issue any command on the Celerra Control
Station CLI server, the command is sent to and executed by a Data
Mover. If that Data Mover is down or unreachable, the command will

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

Problem prevention

Celerra AntiVirus Agent (CAVA)
AntiVirus (AV) threads
If a large number of files need to be checked at the same time, the CAVA
file checking process may be slow depending on number of threads
configured, number of CAVA servers, and speed of the CAVA servers.
If the CAVA servers cannot process file checks quickly enough, then all
AntiVirus (AV) threads will become busy and the AV “collector queue”
will increase, indicating that file check requests are queueing up.
Increasing the number of AV threads (10 by default) will allow more files
to be checked in parallel and may improve performance. However, the
number of CAVA engines may need to be increased to satisfy a heavy
load.
Number of CAVA engines
It is possible to configure your EMC Celerra installation with only one
Celerra AntiVirus Agent (CAVA) engine. However, this non-highavailability configuration can make your installation susceptible to data
unavailability in the event that the CAVA engine goes offline for any
reason.
The best method for preventing this type of outage is to increase the
number of available CAVA engines.
Additional information for configuring the Celerra AntiVirus Agent can
be found in the Using Celerra Anti Virus Agent technical module. This
document describes the parameter setting that will specify shutdown
actions to take when no servers are available.
Removing AV user from Data Mover password file
If you remove an AV user from the Data Mover password file, CAVA
will not work. Depending on the setting you have on CIFS, you could
use up all the CIFS threads because they are used for virus checking or it
will shut down CIFS altogether.

CIFS
Deleting machine account from active directory
Deleting a machine account from active directory will result in loss of
access to the CIFS server and its resources. Deleting the computer
account of any CIFS server, including a Celerra Data Mover, from the
domain of which it is a member will prevent that CIFS server from being

51

Problem prevention

able to authenticate both itself and users attempting to connect to it with
the domain. This will mean that users will not be able to access data
hosted by the CIFS server.
Deleting server out of the domain
Deleting a server out of the domain will result in shares associated with
the server to be unavailable. The same applies to deleting the machine
account.
Naming CIFS shares
Do not name your CIFS share "all" or you risk deleting all of your shares
when trying to delete it.
NetBIOS name conflict
Instead of destroying the conflicting NetBIOS, simply rename it using
the existing server_cifs <server_x> -rename -netbios
<oldname> <newname> command. Changing a NetBIOS name using
this command will update the share and local group and enable you to
reuse it.
LGDB and ShareDB information associated with the server are
persistent. If the target name of a rename conflicts with LGDB or
ShareDB information, re-create the old server and rename it to a name
that will not conflict with your naming structure to free the old slot.

Control Station
Applications
The Control Station’s primary function is to manage the Celerra. The use
of applications that do not come installed on the Control Station is not
recommended. The Celerra Control Station is not tested or certified with
any of these applications and there could be issues with memory usage
or CPU time that may affect normal operation.
Dual Control Stations
If you have dual Control Stations on either (CFS/CNS/NSxxx) and they
concurrently try to access the /nas file systems, the nasdb may become
corrupted and the Data Movers will be unable to communicate with the
Control Station.

File System
Deleting files from Data Mover or file system
Files that you delete will be permanently lost unless you have a backup
copy. Files can be backed up and restored through the Celerra SnapSure,
TimeFinder/FS, Replicator or by using standard tape backup methods.
Deleting file systems
File systems that you delete will be permanently lost unless you have a
backup copy. Backups can be created via TimeFinder/FS, Replicator or
other backup methods.
File system full
Insufficient space in a file system will prevent users from writing to that
file system. In addition to monitoring file system usage, set an event
notification for file system full condition and enable automatic file
system extension with a conservative threshold.
Refer to the Configuring EMC Celerra Events and Notifications technical
module for more information.
Mounting file system to /tmp
Some variants of UNIX or Linux periodically delete some or all of the
files under the /tmp directory. If you mount a file system under /tmp,
you risk having the contents of that file system deleted by the automatic
cleanup process.
Splitting BCVs
When a production file system (PFS) is mounted in a read/write fashion
to a Data Mover and has BCVs established, the command to split (or
mirror -off) the BCVs from the PFS volumes must be initiated using the
Celerra fs_timefinder command. The fs_timefinder command ensures
consistency of the BCV snapshot by managing file system access and
Data Mover log operations when the volumes are split. These additional
considerations are not available directly from Solution Enabler
commands (symmir).

Name Resolution
SunOne/iPlanet
When using SunOne/iPlanet, make sure that the defaultServerList

Problem prevention

attribute on the LDAP server is set to use IP addresses and not host
names. If hostnames are specified and the Celerra is configured to use
SunOne/iPlanet for host resolution, a deadlock can occur.

Networking
Changing an IP address
Changing an IP address on a Data Mover can result in a naming
(DNS/NIS) mismatch and render the IP address inaccessible.
Changing or removing DNS settings
When you make changes to the DNS server, such as IP addresses make
sure you reflect those changes in the Data Mover. Failure to do so may
result in accessibility issues.
Removing the DNS server will prevent the CIFS server from
communicating with the domain. Any CIFS server, including those
configured on a Celerra Data Mover that is a member of a Windows 2000
or later domain, use DNS to locate the Windows domain controllers that
it needs to communicate with to operate. Disabling DNS in such an
environment will prevent the CIFS server from locating Windows
domain controllers, therefore, prevent the CIFS server from
authenticating users attempting to connect to it. This means that users
will be unable to access the data hosted by the CIFS server.
Connecting an internal switch to an outside network
The internal networks in the Celerra are designed to provide private
communication paths between Data Movers and the Control Station. If
that network is connected to an external network, the resulting routing,
addressing issues, and/or volume of network traffic may disrupt the
communications between the Data Movers and the Control Station,
which will in turn disrupt the operation of the Celerra.
Duplicate IP
Duplicating an IP address on two Data Mover interfaces will have the
same result as duplicating IP addresses on any two machines in a
network. The network will either be unable to determine which location
it should deliver packets to or block all traffic to both machines on the
assumption that one of them is attempting to gain unauthorized access
to information by impersonating the other.

Problem prevention

FSN devices
Create Fail-Safe Network (FSN) devices on multiple network interface
cards (NICs) to ensure connectivity in the event of a hardware failure.
Incorrectly adding network route
Incorrectly adding a network route will cause network access to be
limited to the same subnet/broadcast domain. The default gateway, or
route, address tells any network client, including a Celerra Data Mover
or Control Station, where to send IP packets that are outside its local
subnet. If the default gateway is misconfigured, the network client will
not be able to contact any host that is not within its local subnet. If the
Celerra relies on hosts, such as domain controllers, outside its local
subnet, it may not be able to offer service.

Parameters
Changing parameters
Changing parameters could significantly affect the function of the
Celerra Network Server. Take the following precautions before you
make changes to Celerra parameters:


Do not change system parameters without first consulting with EMC
Customer Service.



Change server parameters one at a time, in small increments,
preferably in a non production environment. Be sure to thoroughly
test each change before making additional changes.



Keep a detailed log of which server parameters you changed and the
reason for the change. This information will be useful if a problem
arises because of the change.

Managing parameters
EMC recommends using the server_param command or the Celerra
Manager to manage parameters. If you manually edit the param file,
note the following:


Parameters are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as
described in the Celerra Network Server Parameters Guide. A
typographical error, the omission of a dot, incorrect capitalization, or
a value out of range could result in adverse effects.

Technical notes

Storage
Multiple LUN 0s
Assigning multiple LUN 0s will result in Data Movers being unable to
boot successfully.
Powering down all SAN Switches
The Celerra does not store any user data itself. All data is stored on the
Symmetrix or CLARiiON disk array(s) that the Celerra is attached to.
With a Celerra gateway model the Celerra is attached to the disk array(s)
it uses via a Fibre Channel SAN. If that SAN is unavailable then the
Celerra will not be able to access the disk array(s) it relies on and hence
will not be able to offer normal service.
Reassigning volumes with SDDR or making fibre changes
Like any host of a Fibre Channel SAN or array, the Celerra will
remember the address of the LUNs that it uses in the attached disk
arrays. Any change in the identity or location of those LUNs without a
corresponding reconfiguration of the Celerra may result in the Celerra
being unable to access the LUNs it needs to provide normal service.
Reassigning Celerra LUN with Navi
Same as Reassigning volumes with SDDR or making Fibre changes.
Unbinding/rebinding LUNs
Same as Reassigning volumes with SDDR or making Fibre changes above.
Write disabling R1 and R2
In SRDF configurations, setting R2 disks to "read only" will cause R1
disks to become "read only" as well, and cause access issues.

LUN size

Minimum: 3 MB
Maximum: 2 TB less 1
MB

Because an iSCSI LUN requires
overhead, you cannot create a LUN size
equal to the total available space; the
maximum size for a LUN is slightly
less (typically 1 MB less) than the amount
of available space in the file system.

LUNs per target

256

Each target can have as many as 256
LUNs (numbered 0 through 255).
Windows, however, limits each target to
255 LUNs (numbered 0 through
254). To comply with the Windows
limitation, Windows - compatible mode,
which is enabled by default on the Data
Mover, limits the number of LUNs
to 255.
If you use a non-Windows iSCSI initiator,
you can disable Windows--compatible
mode by modifying the iscsi.WinCompat
parameter. Refer to the System
Parameters Guide for parameter
information.

LUN extension size

Minimum: 8 MB
Maximum: same as

Due to a volume formatting limitation on
Microsoft platforms, when extending a
LUN, the total LUN size after extension
must be greater than 129 MB.

Celerra scripting guidelines
Following are guidelines to keep in mind when creating Celerra
command scripts.
Issue

72

Action

Scheduling

NAS Database Backups:
The Celerra Network Server backs up the NAS database that
stores specific configuration information required for each Data
Mover every hour, at one minute after the hour. During part of
the backup, the database is locked, and some commands that
rely on the database might not have access. EMC recommends
that command scripts avoid starting at one minute after the hour.
Note that scripts with complex commands that run for an
extended period may overlap the backup period. The duration of
the backup may vary. Use the following Linux command to check
the state of the backup process prior to executing scripts: ps -ef |
grep nasdb_backup. If a lock condition occurs, wait a few
minutes and retry.

Command sequencing

Some commands must lock the database in order to execute. If
multiple user-entered commands or scripts are active at the
same time, some of these commands may lock the database
and prevent other commands from executing. To avoid this, you
should sequence commands whenever possible.

Sleep statements

Some processes within a script can take time to complete. Use
proper timing and adequate sleep statements to prevent timingrelated issues.

Pipe and grep

Piping script outputs through grep is a helpful tool to check the
status of the script. Use periodic checks to grep for file or
database locked messages, timeouts, resource unavailable
warnings, and other failure or success messages, and use this
information to check status, pause the script, or halt it.

Return code check

All commands return a UNIX-style return code (for example: 0 for
success or 1 for failure) or a text-based status code (for

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

Technical notes

Issue

Action
example, done) that can be used to help determine if the
command completed or if there was an error or a conflict with the
NAS database backup, or other commands being run. If a lock
condition occurs, wait a few minutes and retry. If you create and
run scripts, be sure to incorporate return code checks and verify
for proper return codes from individual operations.

Scripting examples: The RECOVERABLE variable contains the following
errors to retry on:


Unable to acquire lock



Resource temporarily unavailable



Unable to connect to host



Socket: All ports in use



Database resource vanished



Connection timed out



NAS_DB locked object is stale

Following is an example of what the RECOVERABLE variable looks like:
RECOVERABLE="unable to acquire lock|Resource temporarily
unavailable|unable to connect to host|socket: All ports
in use|database resource vanished|Connection timed
out|NAS_DB locked object is stale".

The res variable contains the command output.

Using the NAS database and query facility
EMC has partially changed the layout or format of Celerra internal
databases. This change can impact the use of awk or grep utilities when
used in scripts that assume specific positions of fields in databases.
To enable searching of the NAS database, Celerra has developed a new
query subsystem that appears as a hidden option on some of the
nas_commands. This query subsystem enables you to specify the
information you are interested in, allows you to format the output, and is
independent of the database format.
Caution
Do not use grep and awk to scan the database files. Database
positions may change and substrings may return false matches for
database objects.
Following is an example of a query to view unused disks:
nas_disk -query:inuse==n -format:'%s\n' -Fields:Id
To filter root disks, refer to the List all non-root disks that are not in use in
Table 10.
Examples
Use the following commands to view the tags (fields) that you can query:
nas_disk –query:tags
nas_fs –query:tags
nas_volume –query:tags
nas_slice -query:tags
Table 17 contains a list of examples to help you get started. Note that
these commands can be run on the Control Station CLI, so the hardcoded
values can be replaced with shell script variables.

Installation and upgrades

Installation and upgrades
Celerra installation process
This section lists some facts you should know about the Celerra Network
Server and the installation and configuration process before proceeding
further.
How to prepare for Celerra installation
To prepare for Celerra installation and configuration, complete the
following tasks:
1.

Perform the pre-site installation tasks as required by EMC to
complete the installation and connectivity of the Celerra Network
Server. Tasks include preparing electrical facilities, wiring the
network, adding a telephone line, checking environmental
conditions and related requirements, as stated in the Professional
Services Statement of Work (PSSOW).
Note: For a copy of the PS-SOW document, contact your Professional
Services Account Team. For examples of Celerra network topologies, refer
to the Configuring and Managing Celerra Networking technical module.

2.

Configure your environment for UNIX clients, Microsoft Windows
clients, or a combination of Windows and UNIX clients, as
applicable.

3.

Complete network assessment to ensure proper performance and
protocol configurations. (Optional EMC services can be ordered to
assist with this process.)

Celerra Network Server installation and configuration
EMC Customer Service installs the Celerra Network Server hardware—a
process that includes the physical setup, cabling, power application and
diagnostic testing of the Celerra Network Server.
Next, EMC Professional Services or an EMC partner might configure and
integrate the Celerra Network Server. For example, for a Celerra
Network Server with a Symmetrix system, this process typically includes
the following tasks:


Coordinating the activities to enable installation, cabling, and
connectivity to system cabinets



Loading and configuring the Celerra Network Server software
EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

81

Installation and upgrades



Creating, mounting, and exporting file systems



Configuring network protocols



Integrating with a supported, existing user authentication
environment



Configuring standby Data Mover(s), if applicable



Configuring and demonstrating system management and
administration tools

EMC Professional Services can perform additional Celerra Network
Server configuration tasks, such as host provisioning (with Celerra
MPFS), backup protection, and network connectivity, depending on the
individual EMC customer agreement defined in the PSSOW. These
services are part of the EMC Network-Attached Storage Design and
Implementation service offering, which is designed to provide
continuous technical expertise as you manage your organization’s
growing network storage needs. For more information about this service
offering, contact your EMC Customer Support representative.
After EMC installs, configures, and tests the Celerra Network Server, it is
fully operational and ready to support networked storage operations.

Celerra upgrades
You can upgrade the Celerra NAS software two ways:


Celerra Upgrade Tool



Command Line Interface

Celerra Upgrade Tool
You can upgrade the software for many Celerra integrated systems by
using the Celerra Upgrade Tool (CUT), which is part of the Unisphere
Service Manager (USM). CUT lets you upgrade Celerra systems without
assistance from EMC or Customer Support by communicating over the
Internet to EMC Online Support, and over a local network to a Celerra
system. Three wizards guide you, step-by-step, through the process of
upgrading the Celerra software, including updating the Control Station
and the blades, but not the storage system:
Go to EMC Online Support at http://Support.EMC.com for information
about USM and CUT and for information about downloading a copy of
USM to a Windows system. The Upgrading Unisphere for File online
help on USM provides information and instructions about using CUT
and its wizards.
The Celerra Upgrade Tool can upgrade Celerra Network Servers
running software versions:
82

EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

Installation and upgrades



5.6 to 6.0



6.0 to 6.0.x or later

The Celerra Upgrade Tool cannot upgrade systems with dual Control
Stations, nor can it be used to upgrade Gateway systems. If your Celerra
is not eligible for upgrade by means of CUT, you will need to use the CLI
to upgrade your system.
Running multiple upgrade wizards
The USM Celerra Upgrade Tool wizard does not explicitly prevent
CLARiiON upgrade wizards from running while it is in use. The Celerra
Upgrade Tool presents a prominent warning on its 'Welcome' page in
the GUI. Note that this scenario is the same as simultaneously running
multiple instances of USM and/or CLI against the systems, which cannot
currently be prevented. Also, the CLARiiON wizards correctly prohibit
the Celerra Upgrade Tool from launching while they are in use. In
general, upgrading the Celerra NAS and the CLARiiON FLARE software
at the same time can cause serious system problems and result in system
downtime.
Other CUT restrictions:


Selecting and rebooting blades at different times can cause errors.
Select and reboot all blades at same time during the upgrade in the
Reboot Blades dialog.



The Celerra Upgrade Tool cannot upgrade systems with dual
Control Stations.

NAS and FLARE upgrades
EMC requires NAS upgrades to be performed before FLARE is
upgraded on any attached CLARiiON.
The reason for this is to maintain compatibility between the storage API
(NAVI) on the Control Station and the FLARE on the CLARiiON. The
API is built in as part of the NAS management software and is used to
gather data about the backend such as statistics, health, and
configuration.
If the FLARE is upgraded first, the API may encounter issues while
communicating with the new FLARE. Upgrading the NAS first allows
the API to have limited backward compatibility with the FLARE code.
Out-of-family upgrades
The following issues have been reported during out-of-family upgrades.
EMC Celerra Network Server Version 6.0.70.4 Release Notes

83

Installation and upgrades

Error message during upgrade
While upgrading from version 5.6 to 6.0, the following error message is
displayed: Error - cannot open /usr/sbin/ext2online
/dev/hda1. This error can be ignored, as it does not stop the upgrade
and the task completes successfully.
Pre-Upgrade Health Check (PUHC) fails
When attempting to upgrade the software via CLI from version 5.5 to
6.0, PUHC fails abruptly with a run-time failure message which does not
explain the cause of the failure. Note: A 5.5 to 6.0 upgrade is not
supported.
Upgrade Replication task
While performing an out-of-family upgrade (5.6.x to 6.0.x) on a dual
Control Station system, the Upgrade Replication task exits with the
message:
=======================Tasks=======================
23:06 [ 3/80 ] Upgrade replication
0 seconds
Please shutdown control station in slot 1 and retry
When this occurs, users need to power off the secondary Control Station,
just running 'shutdown -h' is not enough. The secondary Control Station
must be in 'power-off' mode during the upgrade.
Reboot required at upgrade
CNS software
The CNS software is comprised of two installation components, a Linux
package and a CNS software package. The software currently running
on the Celerra and the CNS upgrade software versions determine the
number of Control Station and Data Mover reboots required and
whether Data Mover reboots can be scheduled to a later time after the
upgrade is complete.
The DART software runs on the Data Movers and is part of the CNS
software package. The new version of DART is loaded and run on the
Data Movers only after a Data Mover boot.
Control Station rebooting
Most software upgrades require a Control Station reboot. When
upgrading CNS software, if either of the first two digits of the new
version number change (for example, 5.6.x to 6.0.x), the Control Station
requires rebooting.

Schedules during upgrades
As part of the upgrade procedure, schedules that run between midnight
and 1:00 A.M. may lose those run times. This affects only schedules that
run every X hours of the day, (X being from 1 through 12), and not
schedules that run at specific hours of the day. This is a known problem
and can be corrected by modifying the affected schedules after the
upgrade.
Upgrade requirements
Existing read/write-able file system must have 128K minimum free
space prior to upgrading to CNS version 6.0.

CLARiiON upgrades
Occasionally, CLARiiON storage connected to a Celerra Network Server
requires a software upgrade. When upgrading CLARiiON software, do
not run heavy loads on the Celerra, as operations may be extremely slow
or interrupted.
Notes
 CLARiiON array software cannot be upgraded unless the Celerra
Control Station software is upgraded first. Ignoring this rule may
make the CLARiiON unmanageable by the Celerra.


Incremental CLARiiON arrays cannot be added to systems running

Fix Summary

When the Data Mover panicked
during a replication, the create
BLO reported success to the user
without writing the session
signature to the sav volume. This
later caused a problem for
stop/start BLO, when a session
was lost.

The code has been modified to
attempt to re-write the session
signature after a panic interrupts a
replication. If the re-write fails, the
BLO will be rolled back and a
CCMD message will be issued to
the user.

The create remote replication
command failed when a session on
the source had the same FSID as a
session on the destination.

The code has been modified to
reject the creation of a new
session between a source and
destination that is not unique.

When a checkpoint was restored, it
created a temporary checkpoint
and snapped restored data. If there
was not enough space, the restore
failed leaving the filesystem
inconsistent and replication
inactive.
The replication stop operation
would attempt to restore a
checkpoint to bring the destination
to a consistent state. The restore
operation failed as the destination
savvol was full and could not be
extended.

The issue has been fixed. When
replication aborts and tries to
restore the PFS, the special

Persistent failures of APL tasks
over time, due to faulty logic
validating UPS configuration
(expecting 2 UPS configuration
when only one exists) resulted
in accumulation of large
amount of tasks related files in
/nas/tasks directory. Eventually
100% of file descriptors were
exhausted. NBSnas becomes
non writable, and nas services
will fail to start.

The logic has been
corrected and these
APL task failures will no
longer occur.

In Unisphere, when managing
the Usermapper configuration

access to their files.

Modified Mapping Files

experienced delays in screen
painting. The screen refreshes
itself several times, and each

When using NTP QFS software
with Celerra, Celerra Manager

When there were several open
resources on a Domain Controller
in trusted domain which no longer
responded, each SMB thread
entered a 20-second timeout,
potentially creating a CIFS outage.
During CIFS access outage, the
server_log was logging
"DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_NOT_F
OUND" events. In addition to this,
the Data Mover was sending
MSRPC Close requests when the
TCP connection was already
dropped.

The code has been fixed
and Data Mover will no
longer cause CIFS
outage under such
conditions. The Data
Mover will no longer
send unnecessary close
requests when

When a Data Mover requested
user’s group memberships, a
Domain Controller, for some
unknown reason, had not sent the

restore process, and
the restore was
aborted, a
RedirectReads(FALS

Restore from the

CIFS clients saw CIFS request
timeouts in environments with
high latency and high
utilization.
If the TCP queue for a CIFS
was full, typically because a
client makes several parallel
requests, or there is high
network latency (such as with a
WAN), then clients may see the
Celerra appear to ignore some
CIFS requests. If the queue
remained nearly full, eventually
clients could see a CIFS
timeout. This could also
happen with CIFS clients that
were not acknowledging TCP
data quickly, but making CIFS
requests aggressively.

When the CIFS TCP
queue was full, new
responses were
placed at the head of
the queue instead of
at the end. If the TCP
queue never fully
emptied (because
there was always data
outstanding on the
network), then some
CIFS responses might
never be transmitted,
leading to timeouts.
The problem is
resolved by
appending new
replies to the end of
the TCP queue
instead of the
beginning.

While using Networker 6.1 to backup the file
system via a CIFS connection, the FLR log
was flooded with a large amount of repeating
log entries. The rapidly expanded FLR log
contributed to extending backup times.
Following is an example of the repeating FLR
entries:

If certain operations were performed on
multiple Replication V2 sessions at the same
time, the destination file system became out
of sync with the source if a transfer was inprogress when the operation was initiated.
The operations that can cause this issue are
failover, stop, start -reverse and delete (if the
session wasn't previously stopped). When
one of these operations caused a transfer to
be interrupted, the destination file system
was restored to the state before the transfer
is started. Only one of these restores could
run at a time so while one was still in
progress others failed and logged a message

A Celerra system can only be managed
by a version of Unisphere that has a
Celerra plug-in of the same version or

there were checkpoints, XML API
displayed the following error message
and not the correct value: Unexpected

While using FileMover, high memory
utilization used in EDRS handles caused
CIFS threads to hang and rendered the
data unavailable.

The high memory
utilization was because
the memory used in
EDRS read handles
was not being freed
quickly enough as they
were getting blocked
by another EDRS
process. This issue
was resolved by
putting the close/free
operations into their

the file system, renaming one of the
directories representing one of the quota
tree path (having an ID after the gap in
the list) from the client did not reflect the
change in the quota tree list using the

occurred because code was checking the
sequential IDs only to the first gap.

DHSM connections (using Kerberos for
authentication) tried to re-use Kerberos
tickets in the credential cache. The code
used to check to see whether a ticket was

Subsequent code tried to use the expired
ticket, then was unable to get a new ticket
because the password had already been
deleted, resulting in DHSM reconnection
failure.

Added code (in
Kerberos) to check for
expired ticket in
credential cache, and

User reported slow response time when
mapping a Data Mover CIFS share or
when mounting an NFS export. This issue
only occurred when the Data Mover DNS
client was explicitly configured with the
TCP protocol (server_dns configures UDP
by default). The DNS client used for
discovering Domain Controllers and query
for hostname addresses did not properly
interpret two DNS responses included in
the same TCP packet.

Periodically the Data Mover NIS client
was unable to connect to the NIS server
and switched to another NIS server. The
server log reported an error like: The NIS
client is unable to connect to the NIS
server w.x.y.z : RPC failure.

In some instances the
NIS server can be slow
to respond so the NIS
RPC retry timeout is
increased to 5 seconds
and the NIS RPC
request timeout
increased to 15
seconds. This will
prevent switching to
another NIS server
when there is a brief
delay in the response
from the NIS server.

User removed 5 LUNs from Celerra to
change HLU’s (host LUN unit) and was
unable to import them back even though
no errors were logged. LUNs were part of
a MirrorView/S consistency group and the
command nas_mview -init needed to be
used to diskmark them, but the Celerra
error message gave no indication of this.

Replication V2 sessions were not
automatically synchronized. The timer
being used to check if it is time to transfer
was using an overflowed value.

The interval between
checks of whether it is
time to sync a session
now uses a consistent
value rather than a
calculation which could
overflow.

A Data Mover watchdog panicked due to
FC environmental conditions. This can
happen when the processing used to
clear some FC conditions takes too long
due to unnecessary reads across the PCI
bus.

The unnecessary
reads on the PCI bus
have been removed
during FC processing.

Direct attached tape drives connected
with cable lengths greater than 50m may
not be discovered after upgrade to
5.6.47.11 and above. The issue was
caused by a race condition that was
triggered by increased latencies using
longer cables.

The code has been
fixed to avoid race
condition when latency
is increased due to
long cables.

Symptom Description

In an environment with VMware ESX
server that was using Celerra iSCSI LUNs
for its VMFS file systems, the ESX server
had aborted an iSCSI session and
disconnected from iSCSI LUNs while a
large iSCSI snap was being deleted on
the Celerra. This caused an outage on the
ESX virtual machines. The following
messages in server_log indicate the
issue:
SCT: 6: Task Management Function
received: Abort Task, I_T Nexus: [<iqn>]
ISCSI: 3: IscsiSession::closeSession: I_T
nexus lost, sess=0xe0b6dc04 from
[<iqn>]

Fix Summary

The Data Mover code
has been updated to
improve response time
during the iSCSI snap
delete process. From
the ESX server side,
VMware updated ESX
server code to allow
longer timeout before
aborting an iSCSI
session.
