Re: Tape Drives

Yeah, I know a government customer who does. Word of caution: If the Q47 is somewhat dated, you should upgrade the firmware in the library. There is a bug in their firmware that prevents a filer running 5.3 and later from booting. The Q47 firmware in question is version 4.41. Moving to anything later than that will be fine, like 4.43 & 4.53. --tmac Mark D Fowle wrote: > I have a Breece Hill Q-47 tape library, and I was wondering if anyone has a > library similar to this attached to the netapps ? > > Mark Fowle > Caterpillar

I'd take a quess that the file is on a qtree (or volume) with NTFS security. This is expected behaviour in that situation. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-dl-toasters(a)netapp.com > [mailto:owner-dl-toasters@netapp.com]On Behalf Of > bhaskar.g(a)philips.com > Sent: 08 March 2000 04:01 > To: toasters(a)mathworks.com > Subject: Problem in ownerships > > > > Hi all, > > Recently we have procured a Filer 720.

RE: Spurious "Loop break detected" message?

Don't ignore the messages. Make sure all of your FC cables are plugged in tight and the jack screws snug. Contacting NetApp CS could not hurt.

I noticed this on one of our F740's in the weekly e-mail: Thu Mar 2 13:36:35 EST [adm1-na7: isp2100_main]: Loop break detected on ISP2100 in slot 3. Thu Mar 2 13:36:35 EST [adm1-na7: isp2100_main]: Loop back up on ISP2100 in slot 3. There were no noticeable problems around that time, nor were any other messages reported. adm1-na7 is clustered with adm1-na8, both are running "NetApp Release 5.3.4: Fri Oct 15 12:28:26 PDT 1999". The FC-AL adapter in slot 3 is connected to adm1-na7's partner's drives though, which is probably why nothing bad happened. I'm more curious than concerned at this point, since this is the first time I've seen this happen (loop down/up event logged in the same second). -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob(a)risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"

Rename a qtree?
by Richard L. Rhodes 04 Mar '00

04 Mar '00

Can you rename a qtree? I tried this: - from the mount point for /vol/vol0 I did a "mv qtreedir newqtreedir" - edited /vol/vol0/etc/quotas to change the quota entry to reflect the new name: newqtreedir - edited /vol/vol0/etc/exports to change the exported dir to newqtreedir - resized quota for vol0 - rexported everything - at the host unmounted/deleted the nfs mount - added a new mount using newqtreedir It looks like it works. On the hosts a df command shows the quota correctly. Question: Is this really messing things up or is this ok? Thanks Rick ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard L. Rhodes e: rhodesr(a)firstenergycorp.com Ohio Edison Co. p: 330-384-4904 f: 330-384-2514

Todd, Network Appliance now offers Professional Services Engineers in many geographic regions. The program is just ramping up so it hasn't been widely publicized yet.

As with most vendors, NetApp is no exception in charging a premium for the top-of- the-line model, the F760. As I've mentioned in another post, I went through this analysis, and since I needed gobs of ops, I bought two F740's instead of a single F760. For 100% more money, I got 100% more ops with a second F740, not 50% more ops with a single F760. > for their particular needs. The two keys bits would be flexible > servers, where for benchmarking you could selectively use only some I'm all for that. As a previous post again showed, I need more cache in my environment (amount of NVRAM seems sufficient). The F740 has 1/2 GB, no more, no less. A write-intensive development environment is apparently not the optimally-tuned "typical" configuration that NetApp uses to configure their one-size-fits-all filers. Perhaps in the future NetApp could be a bit more flexible in the configurations available, and maybe offer "professional services" to monitor and tune a filer for a specific application.
