Moving ClearCase to Netapp
by Lewis M. Church 17 Nov '01

17 Nov '01

We currently run ClearCase 4.0 using local disk for our vob and view storage. We're interested in moving the entirety of our ClearCase storage to NetApp. Ideally, we'd like to simply shutdown ClearCase, copy the vobstore and viewstore data to the NetApp filesystems, remount the NetApp filesystems at the same mount-point as the local filesystems had been and restart ClearCase. I've never been given a clear explanation from Rational on whether this would work or not, but the general feeling has been that it won't. When I've pressed for a reason why not, I've been told "because it's not the method that's documented" My question for netapp folks out there is if anyone's attempted what I've described above and if it worked or not. Also if you know it won't work and could explain to me why, I'd appreciate it. Note, our ClearCase is running on HPUX 10.20, the NetApp is configured only for NFS, no CIFS.

UWIN/chmod problem
by Mike Sphar 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this? I couldn't find anything at NOW. Some build engineers are reporting that they're unable to change file permissions with the UWIN chmod command on my filers. (UWIN is a set of UNIX utilities for windows.) They're able to chmod files on another filer, and on samba shares, but when they try to chmod files on my filer they get permissions denied. Permissions and ownerships look right. They can create, edit, and delete the files via CIFS. They can do the chmod from a UNIX client and it works fine. The only difference I'm aware of with my filer is that all my qtrees are in UNIX mode, whereas the other filer in question is in mixed mode. My gut instinct is to consider this a UWIN problem, but I'd be curious to know if anyone else has had experience with this. -- Mike Sphar - Iron Chef UNIX - R&D Support Peregrine Systems, Inc.

Hyperion Enterprise on a NetApp
by Gifford, Josh 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

Hello Everyone, This might be a long shot, but I'm curious to know if anyone is running Hyperion Enterprise on a NetApp filer. I'm having a ton of issues with Hyperion running on a Windows 2000 box and I'm looking for alternatives. Thanks in advance!

Re: quota problem ?

Then you may need to increase his users quota as the filer counts all files owned by each user in each of the quota type, and hence a simple df -s will not work. From my own quotas file: #Quota Target type disk files rb user@/vol/users/home 8G 300K Any files I own on or below /vol/users/home will be counted in the quota. Even if they exists outside my designated $HOME. quota -v <user> on Solaris gives you the this output: kavringen(root) local 501# quota -v rb Disk quotas for rb (uid 392): Filesystem usage quota limit timeleft files quota limit timeleft /home/nfs/users 2522412 8388608 8388608 50844 307200 307200 I would suspect that other OS' has similar tools. >>>>>>>.rune -- Rune Bakken "I feel sorry for people who don't drink.

I imagine he must own some files which are not in his home directory. Do 'find <home dir> -user <uname>| wc -l' to count the number of files that he owns in his directory and compare that with the number of files that quota reports. Do 'find <disk> -user <uname>' to find all the files on the disk that he owns. Andrew Curry Faculty of Computing Sciences and Engineering De Montfort University, Leicester, UK

quota problem ?
by daniel 16 Nov '01

16 Nov '01

Hi all, I have a user who can not upload any files to his home dir using ftp and the error message he gets is "disk quota exceeded". When I did du -sk on his home dir as root , I find that it is not even close to his maximum quota limit. Quota is set as follows for this volume, qtree, X disk limit and no limit on # of files. I checked his users quota from the filer and noticed that he is indeed over the limit of his quota. Filer is F840 and Ontap version is 6.0.1R3. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

F840 or F880
by Jennifer Armenta 14 Nov '01

Do you see any point in upgrading from a F840 to a F880 or F880c, besides the clustering factor? Does anyone have any good advantage point to this type of upgrade that would justify the cost. Jennifer )

Yes, it dies. That's what I was referring to (earlier reply that you may not have seen posted yet) when I indicated that the 2nd CPU is for performance, not availability (see http://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=ntapcs2897 <http://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=ntapcs2897> ). I think one CPU is dedicated to indexing and other such processes.
