clearcase & network appliance
by Charly Jacob 07 Jan '00

07 Jan '00

is anyone using clearcase with remote storage pools on the network appliance? i've had the experience of keeping the storage pools local to the servers in the past, but with the new group i'm working in, i'm in the process of using the remote storage idea. in terms of $$s, scalability, backup, etc. i see a big plus. what are some experiences of other individuals doing this? i don't have enough data or experience to fall back on to convince other groups we're working with of the idea. any … [View More]

Sun Client Maximum Throughputs
by beepy＠netapp.com 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

Do any of our customers out there have some measurements of Sun client throughput? I thought I could use a 2 x 400MHz Ultra Enterprise E250 with a new Sun GbE card in it as a killer client, and I find that with V3 32KB UDP packets, the sucker rolls over at ~30 MB/s with 2 CPUs pinned at 99% in system time. This *sucks*. In an experimental filer setup reading from memory (all cached data) the F760 CPU is at 20%. I am totally client bound. Has anyone sized Sun clients out there? Are … [View More]

We'd be very interested in one as well (and would be willing to host if it didn't exist already). Anyone else? Peace, dNb

"Wac"-ing the WAFL?
by E Hunter 03 Jan '00

03 Jan '00

Greetings. I'm brand-spankin' new to this list, so please please please excuse me if I landed this question in the wrong space/time. I'm looking for infomation on NetApps because the company I'm working for is considering a 760 for our network. I have been told by someone who is only vaguely familiar with the NetApps that the filesystem has to be maintained in some way by running a _wac_ command, but I have been unable to find any information on such a command in a week of searching . Can … [View More]

RE: volcopy and snapmirror performance

We did this transfer on a site to migrate around 150GB data between F630 to F760 - it went though at around 14-15MB/s (50+GB/hour) on a direct cross-over GbE connection. Although it's not a requirement, I would sugggest using the same versions of ONTAP - we hit a hardware problem on one filer which aborted the transfer, & there was a problem with aborted transfers when the filers were on 5.2.1 and 5.2.3 resp. - we upped them both to 5.2.3 & all was well ;-) Cheers Mike > -----… [View More]

Depends. If it's a round of golf or a T-shirt..its a safe bet, feel free to produce a P.O.. But if it's a leather jacket...hold out for the jacket, because between the jacket and the gold, you KNOW the salesguy _wants_ that round of golf.

Yes, but in the spirit of keeping the post simple for our new user, I didnt bring in complexities of how a F720 and lower work, or clustering. So yes, my post is somewhat inaccurate outside the scope of the reply itself. :-----Original Message----- :From: tkaczma(a)gryf.net [mailto:tkaczma@gryf.net] :Sent: Thursday, December 30, 1999 8:51 AM :Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com :Subject: RE: "Wac"-ing the WAFL? : : : :On Wed, 29 Dec 1999, Mohler, Jeff wrote: : :> When a series of writes comes … [View More]

:RAID 0. I know, I know, it sounds almost suicidal but as I :said speed is more :important in this instance than recovery. We'll be testing :this 760 against :an Auspex, which can be configured to use RAID 0, so I was :wondering if the :NetApps could also do this. --- Actually, the way RAID4 is used in conjunction with WAFL, really looks and feels like RAID0, just with a parity write at the end. WAFL removes the problem on a UFS type filesystem of having that single parity drive just … [View More]
