CIFS delays.
by Sanborn, Ed 07 Jan '00

07 Jan '00

Hi folks, I have an F720 running 5.2.2. I am experiencing significant delays with the CIFS protocol. NFS is fine. Any troubleshooting suggestions? -Ed Ed Sanborn (978) 691-6496 Manager of Computing Infrastructure Newbridge Networks Inc. 5 Corporate Drive Andover, MA. 01810 Fax (978) 687-4442 http://www.northchurch.net <http://www.northchurch.net/>

Configuring SNMP traps
by johnj.sasso＠ps.ge.com 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

Folks, We have two F760s in a cluster running ONTAP 5.3.4, and so far have configured SNMP on there to send traps to a "traphost". I wrote a Perl program that runs on the traphost as a daemon , which intercepts the traps and logs the data to a file. I am interested in having only certain MIB-II parameters sent to the traphost (e.g. cpuUpTime, cpuIdleTime, ...) on a periodic basis (e.g. 60 sec), rather than having the traphost directly query the NetApp periodically. Is it possible to configure the NetApp to do this? If so, how (please provide an example)? I've read through the sys. admin manual and man pages on SNMP, but they don't provide sufficient info. Thanks in advance! --john

I would venture to say that those variables you list, are not traps themselves..theyre not an action/reaction type parameter, but simply a value stored for retrieval by an EMS system. -----Original Message----- From: johnj.sasso(a)ps.ge.com [mailto:johnj.sasso@ps.ge.com] Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2000 12:27 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Configuring SNMP traps Folks, We have two F760s in a cluster running ONTAP 5.3.4, and so far have configured SNMP on there to send traps to a "traphost".

Backing up a filer
by Greg Wong 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

Hi all, I'm kind of new to the this filer business and I have a question about backing it up. We have an F720 on site that isn't doing much since we aren't backing it up. I need some options on how to do this. We currently back up our other systems vith Veritas Netbackup and a tape library. Now, my question(s) is if I want to use Veritas to back up the filer using NDMP, do I have to dedicate a drive on the remote tape library to the filer? Will the filer support a locally attached library, and if it does, does Veritas control the library or does the filer? Thanks for your help Greg

FreeBSD *did* turn on these by default. It no longer does. You want to check the following sysctl variables: net.inet.tcp.rfc1323 net.inet.tcp.rfc1644 Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug(a)nethelp.no

You should liase with NetApp tech support on this, but briefly: > 1) Do I need to put our CIFS server in an NT domain to use NTFS ACLS ? > Our CIFS server is currently in a workgroup and is not seen > by NT client as an > NTFS server, but as a FAT server. Yes - you need the filer to be in an NT domain. > 2) I tried to move the CIFS in our NT domain, and it failed. > I get this message > : > Could not register CIFS group name DOMAIN: Another machine > already has that > name. Chances are there was a problem with the syntax you were using. "cifs testdc" is a useful tool, but you'll need to shut down cifs before you test a different domain using it. Support will be able to help with this.

CIFS and NTFS
by Laurent Blain 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

Hello, I try to reconfigure our CIFS server to get NTFS features (ACLs). I've moved qtree security attribute from unix to mixed. But I still have two problems : 1) Do I need to put our CIFS server in an NT domain to use NTFS ACLS ? Our CIFS server is currently in a workgroup and is not seen by NT client as an NTFS server, but as a FAT server. 2) I tried to move the CIFS in our NT domain, and it failed. I get this message : Could not register CIFS group name DOMAIN: Another machine already has that name. There is no other machine with the same name in this DOMAIN, PDC and BDC are running and other servers (NT stations and SAMBA servers) register fine in the DOMAIN. Finally, I tried to move the server in another NT domain with less servers and it works... Any idea. Thanks. Laurent ----------------------------------------------------------- Laurent Blain Tel.

We put 2 DLT7000's per bus, and we're using the Dual Port differential controller sold by sun, I think it's the 6514A. > Did you try IBM's, SGI's or HP's, out of sheer curiosity..? The HP V-class was able to feed us about 55MB/s. I think the CPU load was higher on the HP than the Sun, though of course it had a lot more CPUs to burn. :) Darrell
