Clustered Takeover Time

22 Jul '99

If I have a clustered pair of 760s, how long does it take for one to take over in the event of a failure of the other? Thanks. --jeff

I didnt vi edit the file, just forgot the - in the message.. BUT..I found why it did not load. A host in the group was not resolving right, and Ive let the group know who is responsible for it..know. -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Keegan [mailto:lgk011@dma.isg.mot.com] Sent: Thursday, July 22, 1999 9:11 AM To: Mohler, Jeff Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Netgroups > Ive defined some large netgroups to save me some brain twisting in my > /etc/exports file on my 760. > > /vol/volx access=Netgroup > That's basically the syntax that works for us.

RE: Non-NDMP backup solutions?

Network Appliance better figure out real quick that NDMP should remain solely *a* strategic direction for backups, not *the* strategic direction. Support for it is still in the early stages and a new standard could come along tomorrow that everyone will want to start using. Too much focus on NDMP will alienate customers and prevent important resources from being allocated to the support and software for other backup strategies, as has happened in the past. I don't mean to jump on your personally if you simply misspoke, Grant, but I think the point had to be made. Bruce

In a past life, I was able to upgrade two of our Q2-15's to DLT-7000. The drives came complete with drive trays making for a painless upgrade. Your reseller should be able to get the drives for you. You may have to get the part numbers form Breece Hill, though. Good Luck Paul Benn Network Appliance

RE: Clustered Takeover Time
by Watanabe, Steven 21 Jul '99

21 Jul '99

The amount of time can be broken down into two components. First is the failure detection time, currently 60 seconds, which is the amount of time before one node declares the other one down. Secondly is the resource takeover time, the amount of time that it takes to bring the partner's resources online. These include disks, networking, replaying the logs, starting the services for the partner (e.g. cifs). This amount of time is variable based on the load of the node doing the takeover and the configurations/resources of the down node. We are working actively to decrease both of these times in a future release.

RE: Netapp hang and Security on NT2000b3

Youre right David. I suppose that my experience with another software vendor that's wasted a year attempting development for a freeware *NIX..at the expense of fixing the current release software bled over.

That's why we pay more for > filers than for an Alpha PC. There is an old saying in networking: Be conservative in what you send. Be liberal in what you receive. It is absolutely unacceptable for a filer to hang simply because someone sends it garbage data. It's true that W2K is till in Beta (alpha?), but we believe that we have done everything necessary to support W2K (if you are running a recent enough release), and we are very interested in hearing about problems that people have.

F520 configure & upgrade questions
by Gordon Keegan 21 Jul '99

21 Jul '99

We've got a 520 with 2 shelves of 9GB drives that we'd like to add more drives to. I need to find out things like "do I have to add more shelves in pairs?" and "can 18GB drives and 9GB drives coexist in harmony" and some other related questions. Can someone point me to where on the NOW site I can find this out? Thanks in advance! -- Gordon Keegan, M10-10 Phone: (508) 261-4696 Motorola ING Fax: (508) 261-5757 20 Cabot Boulevard Mansfield, MA 02048 email: lgk011(a)dma.isg.mot.com

Jumbo Frames
by Richard L. Rhodes 21 Jul '99

21 Jul '99

<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>Hi Y'all, I just received my NetApp systems and started playing with them. So far so good. I did have one disappointment, the gigabit ethernet driver doesn't support jumbo frames. I had assumed from some of my reading in a NetApp press release that it did (my fault, I didn't ask and should have). I'm wondering if anyone might know if/when jumbo frame support might be comming. Thanks Rick <FontFamily><param>Times New Roman</param><bigger><bigger>I<FontFamily><param>Courier New</param><smaller><smaller> <nofill> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard L.
