Solved!
Go to SolutionFC pool used for celerra
hello all,
We 've a new celerra installed (NS480, all raid 5). One thing that strike me was FC_Pool and performance pool togather.I am not sure of this pool.Was it created without AVM?
The other pool i am aware of is clarata for sata .Can someone please help me waht FC_pool ,holding 10TB of storage , could be?
[nasadmin@USMAN ~]$ nas_pool -l
id inuse acl name
3 n 0 clar_r5_performance
42 y 0 FC_Pool
[nasadmin@USMAN-~]$ nas_disk -info d12
id = 12
name = d12
acl = 0
in_use = True
pool = FC_Pool
size (MB) = 1099315
type = CLSTD
protection= RAID5(4+1)
stor_id = APM00101300887
stor_dev = 0018
volume_name = d12
storage_profiles = clar_r5_performance
virtually_provisioned = False
mirrored = False
servers = server_2,server_3
server = server_2 addr=c0t1l8
server = server_2 addr=c16t1l8
server = server_3 addr=c0t1l8
server = server_3 addr=c16t1l8
thank you for reading

Hi,
dynamox is correct. It was certainly manually created.
Use the following command to see it's members and configuration :
nas_pool -info FC_Pool
If you want to know when it was created, use :
cat /nas/log/cmd_log* |grep nas_pool
It might be necessary to gunzip the other cmd_log* files under /nas/log depending when it was created.

Hi,
I would really suggest to take the time reading the two AVM and MVM manuals to get a better understanding what pools are and how they work.

Thanks Gustavo and dynamox ; and EMC_rainer .
Even ,i was pretty sure it was manually created.The reason i put this here is because, i observed , that there're two 11GB luns and three 2GB (instead of 4-2GBs) with the fourth one configured as 32 GB(HLU 5) ( for the first six user luns -HLU 0-5).Something not mentioned in EMC rule book. I am not involved in configuring those ,so i am not sure why this is in place.
Is it because some body tried to scan it and when that was a failure tried to create a pool manually.
The pool gives two out put - clar_r5_performance being of 1 TB and FC_pool being 50TB
More over , all the disks are in use and that can only show when celerra has recognized the backend storage.id inuse acl name
3 n 0 clar_r5_performance42 y 0 FC_Pool
For clar_r5_performance
[nasadmin@ ~]$ nas_pool -size clar_r5_performance
id = 3
name = clar_r5_performance
used_mb = 0
avail_mb = 0
total_mb = 0
potential_mb = 1883372It means only i TB is available as free disk. I am just wondering how could a system lun be configured as 32 GB?
Please suggest..
Thanks Gustavo.. ..so, Does it mean doing an upgrade from 5.5 to 5.6 would require a change in system LUN 5?
we had a code upgrade recently for NS-704G.And we'd be migrating from NS-704G to NS480.
The one in question is NS480.. so , i believe it's configured the right way.

Hi,
the system LUN 5 changed the value on 5.6 code.
It was 2GB on 5.5 and earlier codes, and now it's model dependant.
32GB on smaller systems, and 64GB on larger ones ( NS960 and NS-G8 ).

Hi,
No. You can upgrade to 5.6 with LUN 5 @ 2GB.
This rule is valid for new installs.
