RE: Ridiculously easy question...

There is a Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit utility named "autoexnt" can be used to ensure the redirector is started and the connection is made to the filer at boot up. You must have a copy of the Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit, and the companion CD. Autoexnt is installed by simply copying autoexnt.exe and servmess.dll from the \ntreskit directory to the Systemroot\System32 directory. Create a batch file with the commands to map a drive to the Filer and save it as "autoexnt.bat" in the Systemroot\System32 directory. Type "instexnt install" at the command prompt to install the service. Use the /interactive switch if you want to see the commands executing in a command window during boot time ("instexnt install /interactive"). For example: D:\ntreskit.40>instexnt install /interactive CreateService AutoExNT SUCCESS with InterActive Flag turned ON. Finally, to configure the AutoExNT service to run when you start your computer (during boot) 1. Double-click Services in Control Panel. 2. In the Services list, click AutoExNT. 3. Click Startup and, in the Startup Type box, click Automatic. 4. Choose OK. Example autoexnt.bat: d:\winnt\system32\net start workstation d:\winnt\system32\net use t: \\toaster\home If you log in, the drive is already mapped and shows up in Windows Explorer. You cannot "disconnect" the drive mapping from within explorer which insulates it from user error a bit as well. Good luck!

Ridiculously easy question...
by Jaye Mathisen 08 Apr '99

08 Apr '99

I'm just starting to use CIFS, and everything works fine, except one minor problem... I would like NT (4.0SP4, if it matters), to attach a drive on system startup, rather than having to be logged in... For various reasons, I cannot use UNC paths in my application, so I need to map the drive when the system boots, with a username and password... Is this possible? My filer is running 4.3.4, but I think I'm going to upgrade tonight to 5.2.1...

Hello Jaye, This is possible with the AutoExNT service that comes with the NT resource kit. I have its use documented in an NT Backup paper that I recently published. You can find it at: http://www.netapp.com/technology/level3/3052.html#Sect2.3 Hope this helps.

Re: Need help regarding quotas

Yep, we see the same thing here. Here's a trivial Perl script I run the end of the week autosupport mail through which boils the messages portion down to a more readable form. It certainly could be made to do more sophisticated tricks. Here's the output: ----------------- ==== Quota exceeded ==== achervin bdowling csaia frodo jack138 jeffno johan jsl santana stellato ==== Tree quota exceeded ==== proj ==== Unknown messages ==== Sun Mar 28 00:00:06 EST [asup_main]: System Notification mail sent Sun Mar 28 01:00:01 EST [raid_scrub_admin]: Beginning disk scrubbing...

Mon Mar 29 19:24:04 EST [raid_stripe_owner]: One disk is missing from volume proj, RAID group 0. A "hot spare" disk is available and the missing disk will be reconstructed on the spare disk. ------------- And here's the script: ----------- #!/usr/local/bin/perl # parse netapp autosupport mail and show it to us nicely use Text::Wrap; while (<>){ last if (index($_,"===== MESSAGES =====") > -1); } while($_ = <>){ next if /\[statd\]/; next if (index($_,"last message repeated") > -1); next if (index($_,"../common/ndmpd/comm.c") > -1); if (/uid\s(\d+).*exceeded on volume (.*)/){ $user = ((exists $users{$1}) ? $users{$1} : $users{$1}=getpwuid($1)); $volume = $2; $quotabloat{$user} = $volume if (!exists $quotabloat{$user}); next; } if (/tree quota exceeded on volume (.*)/){ $treebloat{$1}++ if (! exists $treebloat{$1}); next; } push (@unknown,$_); } close(<LOG>); print "\n==== Quota exceeded ====\n"; print wrap("","",join (" ",sort keys %quotabloat)),"\n"; print "\n==== Tree quota exceeded ====\n"; print wrap("","",join (" ",keys %treebloat)),"\n"; print "\n==== Unknown messages ====\n"; print @unknown; ----------------- Hope this is helpful.

Cor I have filers from the F330 to the F760. In the four years that I have been using the filers, I've NEVER had a production system go down! The filers are by far the best piece of hardware I have (I have a number of Sun Enterprise Systems) and I'm NOT taking anything away from Sun. Hey James! :) Right now id buy almost anything over NotUp. We've had more crashes with our new F720 the last 2 weeks than our previous Sun had in 2 years, and thats including fsck. Cor

vif with gigabit ether?
by rani＠easynet.fr 08 Apr '99

08 Apr '99

Hi, Is it possible to add gigabit ethernet interfaces to a virtual interface?? I've tried with Ontap 5.3 and it says: toaster1> vif add trunk1 e6 vif: e6 cannot be attached to a vif Does this mean that trunking works only with fast ethernet? Will 1000Fx cards be supported in a future release? Thanks, Rani

(I'd want to see more technical information and/or see a unit for myself before deciding it was going to solve all my problems, though.) James.

http://www.infolibria.com/press/040599.htm Already had a netcache appliance, didn't buy one. Looks like time to give infolibria a call, since they're saying a 5-9 month payback, and see if they want to toss me a loaner for eval...
