Re: Alpha future

I'm not sure I can agree with that. I'm just thinking of the MIPS R1{0,2}K and ULTRASPARC II - those are fabless designs and they are both extant and, as far as I can tell, thriving. Digital were making out that having their own fabs was an advantage...now they're making out that they weren't actually generating revenue in the way Digital likes. *shrug* Besides I suspect that NetApp development could shift to another platform with (to the outside at least) consummate ease if other hot chips seem more viable. I'd be thinking of the TI DSPs myself. On Oct 29, 15:21, Gregory M. Paris wrote: > Subject: Alpha future > Any thoughts on what the Intel/Digital settlement means to NetApp and > its customers?

Re: File names... on netapp from Mac over CIFS

Also be aware that there are filenames that are legal under Mac's FS that aren't under NTFS (I think a filename ending with a space is one), so if the NT box is actually using a Mac-compatible filesystem as the share, going from it to an NTFS-compatible filesystem could cause problems. But the poster didn't seem to indicate that this was the case. Bruce

File names... on netapp from Mac over CIFS
by Jaye Mathisen 22 Oct '97

22 Oct '97

WE have a Digital Alpha server running NT that we were thinking of moving to an F540. The alpha shares via services for Macintosh a local FS to some Macs. We want to move it to the filer, and use some CIFS software for the macs, or NFS. The problem is thusly: The NT box has a whole bunch of files with names that we can't copy to the filer. NT copy chokes when writing to the filer, but works fine copying them from one dir to another on the local drive. If anybody has any ideas on how to address this, I'd really like to hear it.

F330 SCSI card f/s
by Tom Yates 21 Oct '97

21 Oct '97

since we went to the mixed-disc configuration on one of my F330s, i now have a spare regular SCSI card, netapp official vintage, in perfect working order. yadda yadda. if anyone has any interest in this, make me an offer. no, i have no idea what the hardware maintenance position on this kind of sale would be, but since it was under hardware maintenance while it lived with us, assuming it worked when it first got to you, i would expect it to come under whatever hardware maintenance arrangements you already have. can anyone shed any light on this?

Okay, I just read in the ndmpcopy manual that you need 4.3 to do this. Assuming that's true. Can I do an ndmpcopy at level 0 and then do a level 1 dump/restore via a Unix client? - Dan

ndmpcopy - do incrementals work?
by Daniel Quinlan 21 Oct '97

21 Oct '97

Do incremental updates work with ndmpcopy or are you stuck doing it all in a single level 0 chunk? We are running 4.2aD9 and I have about 25 GB of data to move around. A level 0 ndmpcopy looks like it will take about 5 hours. - Dan

dump-restore filer to filer
by Daniel Quinlan 19 Oct '97

19 Oct '97

I would like to do a dump-restore directly from one filer to another. Having not done this before, and having the requirement of doing it right, I'd like to ask if anyone else on the list has experience doing this. Here are the details: "source" filer path is "/dir/foo" - a normal directory "dest" filer path is "/dir-foo" - a quota tree "source" is an F540 running 4.1d "dest" is an F630 running 4.2aD9 The directory I want to move contains about 25 GB of data, which changes relatively frequently. First, I'll be doing a level 0 dump, and then a level 1 dump afterwards. Dan
