Re: 100% Cpu using quotas under 5.x
by Ketil Kirkerud Elgethun 14 May '99

14 May '99

Following up on my own posting: It looks a _lot_ like SNMP is the culprit - we have a script, run daily, that extracts information (via SNMP) from the filer about qtrees. Running this scipt by hand made the filer go bananas (CPU pegged at 100%, until i did a 'quota off;quota on'. The interesting bit of the script is as follows : for $host (ListService("netapp-server", "ALL")) { mkdir($host, 02775) unless (-d $host); # netapp.netapp1.quota.quotaState.0 ($state) = … [View More]

100% Cpu using quotas under 5.x
by Ketil Kirkerud Elgethun 13 May '99

13 May '99

I have an interesting problem with one of my F540s (maxed out on memory and disk controllers, approx 40 disks) : It used to run 4.3.1D3 - on recommendation from my vendor (there was a bug in the release we were running that bit us), I upgraded to 5.2.1P2D4 - the NetApp is serving the home directories of approx. 160.000 users (largest UID approx 161000)- and we use default quotas. A few (less than 500) of the users have specific quotas. This worked very well under 4.x - it still works, but … [View More]

RE: Netapp filers & MS Exchange
by Jonas Jonsson 13 May '99

13 May '99

I've tried to do some "brain work" on this and come to the following conclution: 1. How can I create a "Exchange consistent" snapshots to provide for the backup of Exchange (snapshot) with of the shelf software like Legato Networker (no Exchange API - just files). Snapshtos will do for this. Just remember Exchange might be running for a while in a non-consistant mode before it decides to do a halt. 3. In case of a need for partial data recovery - is there a Filer local copy, the … [View More]

There's nothing wrong with Netapp in this case, but Exchange is a crappy piece of software that may give you 24*6 service at best. Bruce

change notification handles
by Todd C. Merrill 13 May '99

13 May '99

Some users here have recently reported significant slowdowns with some testing suites. They claim the addition of a few directories to a certain path triggered the performance degradation and are asking me about change notification handles for the CIFS service. Searching the NOW site, CD docs, and the toaster mailing list archives just gave me hits on "Yup, it's there," but nothing else. Can anyone reference a pointer on more information? What the ONTAP limit is? If there are any tunable … [View More]

Syslog message
by Jay Orr 13 May '99

13 May '99

Anyone seen this or know what it means? I just setup the syslog to send to another system (it didn't have a syslog.conf file before). I set it up like the example so it's sending *.err and kern.* to another system. Now I'm getting : May 12 11:57:31 hardrock Wed May 12 11:57:32 CDT [portmapper]: portmap: prog (300214,1,201) not registered. May 12 11:57:31 obriens Wed May 12 11:57:32 CDT [portmapper]: portmap: prog (300214,1,201) not registered. in the syslog (hardrock and obriens are the two … [View More]

Netapp filers & MS Exchange
by Itzik (Itzhak) Meirson DSc 13 May '99

13 May '99

I am willing to implement Exchange on NetApp. I have two exchange servers with each holding about 20GB of data. I have seen the document on NOW. It is imperative to have close to 24*7 service from the Exchange servers. My questions are related to backups of the Exchange on NetApp: 1. How can I create a "Exchange consistent" snapshots to provide for the backup of Exchange (snapshot) with of the shelf software like Legato Networker (no Exchange API - just files). 2. As circular logging should be … [View More]

Making the copying of files part of the ypmake isn't all that difficult. As with any new Netapp feature, the initial implementation is done quickly and … [View More]
