#vserver data-services

I was comparing settings on some of the data vservers in our environment, and I noticed an oddity with the "data-services" field. All but one of them lists: "data-nfs, data-cifs, data-iscsi". The one that is different does not have "data-iscsi". And, this does not appear to be a field that you can change with the "vserver modify" command.

Our OnTap devices are only used for NAS, so under "allowed-protocols" all the vservers are set to "cifs,nfs" (and disallowed are fcp,iscsi,ndmp). So, why is data-iscsi showing up under the data services for most of the vservers? I thought it may be based on the service policies of the vserver LIFs, but those are all set to the same thing "default-data-files" for the data LIFs, and "default-management" for management LIFs.

It's not really a problem, more of a curiosity, although I would really like all our vservers to be consistent. We are running 9.8P18.

left ember
# 
[-data-services <LIF Service Name>, ...] - Data Services
         This optionally specifies the data services for new network interfaces created on the Vserver. If no value is specified, the default services list will be applied. This information will be used to construct the default service policies for this Vserver, which can be viewed using the network interface service-policy show command.
#

You can set that during "vserver create".

#

I would simply ignore it.

Thanks. I guess there's no way to change that once the vserver has been created?

left ember

I don't think so.

#

Compare the "default-data-XXXXX" service-policies between the SVMs. If there are different services inside.

#

compare the "default-data-files" service-policy in test1 and test2

#

I guess that is all there is

#

It's nice to have everywhere the same but I wouldnt bother

From what I can tell, when you specify the data services, it will pre configure your network service policies for you based on the data services provided.

If you add a protocol later that was not in the data services list then you will likely need to add/modify current network service policies
