In this example we replicate a CIFS share from the source NetApp to a DR NetApp, details below:
[------------------------------] [------------------------------]
| Source | | DR END |
| | | |
| Hostname: NetApp001 | >>>>>>>_____________________\`-._ | Hostname: NetApp002 |
| SVM Name: netappsvm001_files | >>>>>>> /.-' | SVM Name: netappsvm002_files |
| Alias: fileserver01 | | Alias: fileserver02 |
| | | |
[------------------------------] [------------------------------]
Failover
- Stop the CIFS server on source NetApp:
vserver cifs stop -vserver netappsvm001_files
- Remove the netbios alias (if one exists) on source NetApp:
vserver cifs remove-netbios-aliases -vserver netappsvm001_files -netbios-aliases fileserver01
- Break the replication of the share on the DR NetApp.
- Browse the share at the DR end to make sure its writable (\\fileserver02).
- Repoint DNS so (in this example) fileserver01 now points to the DR NetApp.
- Flush DNS cache then ping fileserver01 and make sure it resolves to the DR IP address.
- Add netbios alias at DR end (the client may need to reboot before this works):
vserver cifs add-netbios-aliases -vserver netappsvm002_files -netbios-aliases fileserver01
- Re-assign the SPNs on fileserver01 AD account, this must be carried out on a Windows machine with rights to update the computer object for the NetApp CIFS server:
setspn -D HOST\fileserver01 netapp001
setspn -D HOST\fileserver01.somedomain.com netapp001
setspn -D CIFS\fileserver01 netapp001
setspn -D CIFS\fileserver01.somedomain.com netapp001
setspn -S HOST\fileserver01 netapp002
setspn -S HOST\fileserver01.somedomain.com netapp002
setspn -S CIFS\fileserver01 netapp002
setspn -S CIFS\fileserver01.somedomain.com netapp002
Failback
- Remove netbios alias from DR NetApp:
vserver cifs remove-netbios-aliases -vserver netappsvm002_files -netbios-aliases fileserver01
- Repoint DNS so (in this example) fileserver01 now points to the source NetApp.
- Add netbios alias back on the source NetApp:
vserver cifs add-netbios-aliases -vserver netappsvm001_files -netbios-aliases fileserver01
- Start the CIFS server on the source NetApp:
vserver cifs start -vserver netappsvm001_files
- Re-assign the SPNs on fileserver01 AD account, this must be carried out on a Windows machine with rights to update the computer object for the NetApp CIFS server:
setspn -D HOST\fileserver01 netapp002
setspn -D HOST\fileserver01.somedomain.com netapp002
setspn -D CIFS\fileserver01 netapp002
setspn -D CIFS\fileserver01.somedomain.com netapp002
setspn -S HOST\fileserver01 netapp001
setspn -S HOST\fileserver01.somedomain.com netapp001
setspn -S CIFS\fileserver01 netapp001
setspn -S CIFS\fileserver01.somedomain.com netapp001
- Re start and re sync replication
