Y2K Testing & compliance
by Thomson, Michael 25 Sep '98

25 Sep '98

Hi there! I've been asked some questions by our Y2K project team, specifically related to NetApp, and I'm unsure how to respond. >From the web page (http://www.netapp.com/y2k_table.html) it seems that the only thing that is 'preliminarily evaluated' is DOT 4.1. Can anyone give the authorative answer to: 1) Are there any plans to use a hardware clock that stores 4-digit years? 2) What Y2K tests were performed on DOT 4.1 3) Have later releases (4.1.3, 5.0, etc.) had the same tests run … [View More]

I should add that this happened to us just a few days ago: - xntpd died on our adminhost (that ran the cron job to set the NetApp dates) - time drifted by 8 minutes on the adminhost and the filers … [View More]

Replication
by vance＠corp.theglobe.com 29 May '98

29 May '98

We would like to use some form of replication to mirror our NetApp 230 to another NetApp in a remote location. Has anyone on the list tried to do this before? Any suggestions on how to tackle this problem? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide- Vance BTW - If it matters at all, we are looking to replicate ~2M files totaling about 50GB. The WAN link would be fairly fast (> 45Mb). ......................... ........... Vance Huntley .. Director of Technology ............ … [View More]

User Quota Checking
by Mike Mueller 25 May '98

25 May '98

We've just turned on user quotas and I am trying to figure out a way to allow users to check their current disk usage and quota limit. Since the filer is running rquotad, this would seem to be the way to go. But alas, the filer rquotad apparently wants quota [path] instead of quota [uid], just like its command line quota report. It returns "NO QUOTA" when queried via a client's quota command. Has anyone figured out a way to allow a general user to check their disk usage and quota limits? It … [View More]

command reference guide discontinued in 5.x
by Tom Yates 21 May '98

21 May '98

here's a little someting to take our minds off how nice NTP support would be... would anyone from netapp care to comment on the suggestion that the command reference guide has been discontinued in 5.x? would anyone else care to comment on whether they use the command reference guide? perhaps some might care to say that it's about twice as useful as the system administrators' guide, despite weighing half as much? i certainly think so. i'd even pay for it. i'd think it was a bit rich, given … [View More]

Re: don't run an F630 with the case open
by Mark D Simmons 21 May '98

Credit to our SE's for pointing this one out to us when they installed our F630's. I can see why this would drive you up the wall trying to diagnose a fail-to-boot when no-one's pointed out the change.

Although some NetApp filers *can* be operated with the case open, it is not a good idea to run any of these machines with the box open. This is because an open cabinet changes the airflow within the filer and often results in … [View More]

Ouch! That's got to hurt. I am sure Rich was glad he could fix your problem. For the F200/F300 and F500 series filers these filers can run with the case open. As you found out the F630 can't.

don't run an F630 with the case open
by Tom Yates 21 May '98

21 May '98

d'oh of the day contest entry, just fyi: you can run an F330 with the case open, or at least ajar. i often do after i've done work, before i seal the case down tight, to make sure that it boots and i'm not going to have to undo everything to fix it. well, don't try the same trick with an F630; it doesn't work. thanks to rich ciammaichella at netapp for not roasting me when we discovered that this was a major part of my F630 booting problem. for those who haven't looked closely inside an … [View More]
