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.

Hi all,
Recently we have procured a Filer 720. We are facing a strange problem. Though I am the owner of a file or directory
When i try to change the ownership of the file or directory or if i try to copy the file to some other directory. It gives the
following errors
bhaskarg@sahadev$ chown babuk:users quota.txt
quota.txt: Not owner
bhaskarg@sahadev$ ll quota.txt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 bhaskarg users 1137 Feb 29 10:29 quota.txt

I'd take a quess that the file is on a qtree (or volume) with NTFS security.
This is expected behaviour in that situation.

Hi there,
I'v been told by Network Appliance that you have a newsgroup called
'toaster' ... if true how would I access it. I'm based in South Africa
working for the NetApp partner.
Many thanks
Rod
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.

Subject: Spurious "Loop break detected" message?
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 …
[View More]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).

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
…
[View More]shows the quota correctly.
Question: Is this really messing things up or is this ok?
Thanks
Rick

Look at the published SPEC results at:
http://www.spec.org/osg/sfs97/results/
then do some math with price quotes from NetApp or your VAR. 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.

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.
Until next time...
