setting up user quota
by Abu Ihsan 10 Aug '00

10 Aug '00

Hi, whenever I use user name instead of UID I will get below error : toaster>quota on web quota: user name ihsan not found (/etc/quota line 2). could not read quotas file toaster> content of /vol/vol0/etc/quotas ihsan user@/vol/web 5M * user@/vol/web 3M It won't fail if I use UID Any suggestion ? I tried putting clients /etc/passwd in /vol/vol0/etc/passwd and it works. Do we have to have a /vol/vol0/etc/passwd ? If so, how about if we have let say 100000 users ? there has to be … [View More]

RE: NetApp questions

No account/password is required for *NIX access to the filer via NFS; that's all handled via the standard NFS permissions and *NIX filesystem permissions. As to running Oracle with the data and logfiles on a filer via NFS, I should think that even with a NetApp using Gigabit Ethernet, you'd take a -huge- performance hit as compared to a local disk array. I've no empirical data to back this up, mind you; it's just that there's so much overhead associated with NFS even on an optimized platform … [View More]

Snapshots and Oracle
by Aaron Sherman 10 Aug '00

10 Aug '00

I have a few snapshot questions for anyone else who's running Oracle: 1. Does a hot backup (as described on http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3049.html) present any restoration problems? Has anyone done a restore from a hot backup? 2. Hot backups are as close to "live" as you're supposed to come, but it seems to me that a nice extra bit of paranoia would be to take snapshots 2-3 times per day of the live database. The image would be consistent, and Oracle would … [View More]

SV: Replacing defective DLT7000 drives without rebooting the fil er
by Karl Erik Øyøygard 09 Aug '00

09 Aug '00

Klaus, I change drives on the fly all the time. ESD is a big issue here, so get out your antistatic wrist-strap and make sure the host and library share the same power connection/ground! Make sure the new drive is the same type, SCSI-ID and if possible same FirmWare. The host will see the new drive, just make sure it is not down/offline when you are finished. This is not the recommended way, but often you just can't wait several weeks for the next sheduled downtime. This goes for most … [View More]

Fwd: RE: Moving from one NT domain to another.
by Joan Pearson 09 Aug '00

09 Aug '00

Burt 14378 addresses this problem. It is fixed in a future release. When changing the filer's domain, if the builtin/administrators group contains the old domain's administrators group, it is removed and the new domain's administrators group is added.

RE: Moving from one NT domain to another.
by Karl Erik Øyøygard 09 Aug '00

09 Aug '00

Jeremy, You are right, the administrator (DomainAdmins) of the OLD domain will still be member of the local administrators on the filer after the move, because Lclgroups.cfg is not updated. This is how I do this: Rename cifssec.cfg, filersid.cfg and lclgroups.cfg in /etc on the filer. Add filer via servermanager to the new domain. Run `cifs setup` Edit /etc/cifsconfig.cfg and remove all referances to users/groups in the old domain. They will not show up correctly in FilerView! And you may … [View More]

RE: Filer storage for databases, seriously? (Was: Re: NetApp ques tions)
by Eyal Traitel 09 Aug '00

Nicholas, 1. It depends how you define performance. Restoring a database in a very short time is also great performance, and you will not get that in DAS, no unless you pay for 1 more copy of the data. 2. You should always look not at performance alone, but on price/performance, which today is with all these TCO-based calculations. This brings to the point where a fully loaded F760 with Gigabit card, can perform better than you can think of compared with those DAS systems, … [View More]

Whoops, my screw up. I said raid 0 when I ment raid 1. This would make it 6 disks, not 3. But still the point is valid. 6 disks versus 14 is a large amount of disks.
