backup with a STK 9730 Library
by Jason Middlebrooks 22 Jan '99

22 Jan '99

Does anybody have any ideas of how to use a STK 9730 library with a F740. I can not go the Netbackup route at this time. What about BudTools or anything?

Backup Solution for a F760
by Des Barden 22 Jan '99

22 Jan '99

Could someone please advise what is a good solution for backing up a F760. We are looking to have a day one usage of 600 megabytes useable, scalable upto 2 terabyte system. We would prefer to use Veritas Netbackup as the Backup Manager software. The backup window is to backup within 24 hours for a full backup.

SUMMARY: can't control access over CIFS
by Tom Reingold 22 Jan '99

22 Jan '99

Thanks to Keith Brown of Netapp! His answer was right. After connecting a drive (or being told the user is not allowed), changing the permissions is not adequate. The user has to log out of NT. Keith suggested also doing "cifs terminate workstation-name" on the toaster, which I'll try next time. Thanks to Mark Muhlestein of Netapp for following up to make sure I'm a satisfied customer. I think we get more than our money's worth on this mailing list. :-) What other vendor follows up so thoroughly? Thanks to all others who tried. -- Tom Reingold tommy(a)bell-labs.com http://www.bell-labs.com/~tommy Bell Labs, the Research and Development unit of Lucent Technologies Murray Hill, NJ, 07974-0636 US

Subnet/Gateway Problem
by Patrick.Day.B＠bayer.com 22 Jan '99

22 Jan '99

I have a 740 with a 4-Port nic card. We are running both WINS and DNS (and the respective addresses are static-mapped). I have attached each port to a different subnet (they are all connecte via routers). When i run setup, it asks for each nic address and subnet mask, howerver it only asks for one gateway address for all. Only the nic that corresponds to the gateway will respond. How can i configure a default gateway for each port? -Patrick Day Bayer Corporation

>How can i configure a default gateway for each port? There are some "Tip and Technique" documents in the Knowledge Base of the NOW website that discusses this (at least they discuss the issue of multiple default gateways). They are: http://now-internal.netapp.com/knowledge/contents/TIP/TIP_55.shtml and: http://now-internal.netapp.com/knowledge/contents/TIP/TIP_56.shtml Hopefully they will answer your question. Take a look at the doc for /etc/dgateways also, which you will probably find at: http://yourfiler.bayer.com/na_admin/man/na_dgateways.5.html Keith
