Flawless NetBIOS boot disk: http://www.bovistech.com/detect.htm Simply edit the autoexec.bat to reflect your workgroup/domain name and you're golden! Autodetects most NICs, randomizes the netbios name, has generic CDROM drivers, disk utilities, etc... It's a real keeper! I've had problems using it to GHOST files UP to the filer, but GHOST sessions fly down. Someone on the list suggested creating another NetBIOS alias and modifying a buffer, but I forgot about it and never tried it... -john John Witham Senior Data Networking Engineer Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc.

How did you map the drive? Did you use the AutoExNT service as described at http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3054.html ? We've had very good luck with it. Another thing you might want to check is that there are no "Advanced Revelation" NT services running as the 'System' account. System has full control of the local filesystem of the server, but has NO RIGHTS outside of the box (network drives, etc...) -john John Witham Senior Data Networking Engineer Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc.

I think I could not explain my problem exactly. The application which is called "advanced revelation" is working on winnt 4.0 server and uses its resources-that is a service running on the server. what I have tried is that I mapped the filer volume to the server as F drive and copied all files regarding the application, then tried to run it. It gave a message that it could not find the data files even thet was there on the F drive. This is my problem.

Zekeriya, I would definately be interested in hearing if you get this to work. My company has a few DOS based lab workstations that I would like to connect to our Filers. The problem is that there is no utility/driver to provide the SMB protocol to DOS. You can get the IPX protocol for DOS but the Filers do not support IPX. We have not tried to build a NetWare server to act as a gateway though. In theory the DOS system could connect to the NetWare server using IPX. The NetWare server would have the NFS.nlm running to connect it to a Filer. I do something similar for our Macintosh users. I have a Linux box that uses NFS to connect to the Filers and then it runs the AppleShare protocol as a gateway for the Macs. I do not know if IPX restricts sharing a share like SMB and NFS do (e.g., an SMB/NFS client - server or workstation - can not then make that share available to clients of its own) Michael Cope Unix Systems Administrator Isis Pharmaceuticals "Zekeriya Eskiocak" To: <toasters(a)mathworks.com> <zeskiocak@pro-lin cc: k.net> Subject: Advanced Revelation on Netapp Sent by: owner-toasters@mat hworks.com 11/19/01 12:49 PM Hi All, I tried to run on my Netapp F820 an old DOS based 16 bit application called "advanced revelation" uses a flat file database. Unfortunately I am not successful. The application does not recognize the mapped network drive. Is there any way/trick to make it working on the filer?

This is certainly possible with VxVM 3.2 for Unix, where you have additional objects to maintain metadata about where an off-split mirror differs from the on-line mirror. This represents yet another license to buy. Without such a fast resync option, the whole mirror does need to be resilvered, and that does get painful. I'd imagine other volume managers may have similar functionality. > > Rick >-- End of excerpt from "Richard L. Rhodes" -- -Mark ... an Englishman in London ...

Advanced Revelation on Netapp

Hi All, I tried to run on my Netapp F820 an old DOS based 16 bit application called "advanced revelation" uses a flat file database. Unfortunately I am not successful. The application does not recognize the mapped network drive. Is there any way/trick to make it working on the filer? Has anybody tried such applications on Netapp Filers or remote drives? Thanks in advance Zekeriya Eskiocak System Engineer Prolink Services Istanbul/TURKEY

Hi, we use operating system Solaris 8 on arbitrary SUN-hardware and Oracle 8.1.5 or higher and NetApp-ONTAB 5.3 (or higher) and want to use the snapmirror & cluster-technologie for Oracle-datafiles exactly as described in the technical documents TR3046 & TR3057 of Network Appliance. Network Appliance states that the fully support this! Has anyone positiv or negativ experience concerning this subject??!! with kind regards Claus Zimmermann/db-administrator/GENO RZ Frankfurt am Main email: claus.zimmermann(a)genorz.de

Hi With loads of doubt from our oracle department, we tested and tried snapmirror with 4 versions of oracle all running on solaris 2.6 All with great success. Recommend adding a snap shot done at one time during the night, when the database is in backup mode to have a definite backup. Also, if you want protection from user intervention, make the schedule on snap mirror to run once an hour so you have some time difference (async mirror) which is sometimes quite handy.
