moving qtrees to new volume
by Leigh David Heyman 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

Does anyone have any advice/experiences/warnings on moving data from one volume to another. We're about to create a new volume on a new shelf, and we want to move about 10 qtrees on to the new volume, and I'm looking to see if anyone has any recommendations on how best to accomplish this quickly, and without altering the data, or metadata? Thanks -Leigh

So what we already have set up in User Manager for Domains as mapping drive X to \\filer\home won't be affected, but we can change it to \\filer\%username% to go directly to the folder. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Losen [mailto:scl@sasha.acc.virginia.edu] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 15:20 To: toasters Subject: Re: questions regarding setting up cifs.home_dir > With all the discussion about setting up the home directories on the filer, > I have a few questions... > > On NOW, it says that if you set up home directories the only folders that a > user will be able to see will be their own.

We have a "HOME" share at the top of our home directory tree and if you attach to \\filer\HOME then you have to "drill down" to whatever directory you want. And we also provide the cifs.home_dir directory so that you can attach to \\filer\username and go straight to your own directory.

Greetings, Typically, the "Administrator" account(s) can connect to the administrative share (e.g. C$) of a volume. Simply connect to the administrative share and traverse into the %cifs.home_dir% and into whatever subdirectory you want to. The question becomes more interesting if you want non-admins to be able to access user home directories not their own. --- ************************* Derek Ballard ballard1(a)niehs.nih.gov NIEHS ITSS Contract ************************* > -----Original Message----- > From: Maglinger, Paul [mailto:PMAGLINGER@scvl.com] > Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 3:22 PM > To: toasters > Subject: questions regarding setting up cifs.home_dir > > > With all the discussion about setting up the home directories > on the filer, > I have a few questions... > > On NOW, it says that if you set up home directories the only > folders that a > user will be able to see will be their own.

questions regarding setting up cifs.home_dir
by Maglinger, Paul 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

With all the discussion about setting up the home directories on the filer, I have a few questions... On NOW, it says that if you set up home directories the only folders that a user will be able to see will be their own. Does this apply to administrator as well. Will the administrator be able to see and access all home directories? Currently we have set aside an area of the filer for home directories, but the whole company is not using them. So basically we are just mapping the home directory to a drive in User Manager for Domains. So my question is, if I start using cifs.home_dir, does anyone foresee any problems. I don't want to have a situation where my users can't access their data, right?

Not the same config but we're using SDLT's in an ATL P3000 via fiber channel. Initial testing has been good - dumps and restores OK. Filer saw the drives as SDLT's without issue. We have them on a 760c, though with 6.1.2. -----Original Message----- From: A. M.

We're also running the latest firmware 3.1_i1. We rebooted after connecting scsi diff cable to drive. sysconfig -t shows no tape drives present on system. Connected filer back to DLT 7000 and the filer see the lower density drives. Anyone using SDLTs tape drives yet? Doesn't seem to be much to the configuration, so not much room for error. Anna Mc.

cifs.home_dir and symbolic links?
by neil lehrer 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

has anybody had experience doing cifs.home_dir this way? i am having a problem. i'm sure i am missing something. the original post was from me and steve losen answered. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ neil said: > hi, > > our homedir structure is /vol/vol0/users/a/adam > > we want to use the subst cmd instead of 'net use' because we go below the > share. and since we have the first letter of the userid in there we can't use > the ontap homedir option. > > however, we can't get subst to work as a user. > > C:\WINNTSRV>subst q: \\filer\u7\k\kusr1 > Path not found - \\filer\u7\k\kusr1 > > subst works fine as admin. We get around this problem by creating a directory with a bunch of symbolic links in it, and making that directory our cifs.home_dir. You'll need to make the symbolic links on a NFS client. For example, we have this: options cifs.home_dir /home/shares And we have a symbolic link for each user like these: /home/shares/abc9d -> /h1/a/ab/abc9d /home/shares/fgh8i -> /h1/f/fg/fgh8i etc. On our system both /home/shares and /h1 are in our root volume, or else we would have to use paths like /vol/vol1/home/shares and /vol/vol1/h1/a/ab/abc9d. It's very easy to create all these symbolic links with the unix shell. For example, on our system you could do this: cd /h1 for x in ?/??; do ( cd $x for loginid in *; do test -d $loginid && ln -s /h1/$x/$loginid /home/shares done ) done Steve Losen scl(a)virginia.edu phone: 434-924-0640 University of Virginia ITC Unix Support ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- thanks. regards +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Neil Lehrer + + United States International Broadcasting Bureau + System Development Division + + voice 202 619-2524 + fax 202 619-3576 + nlehrer(a)ibb.gov + + " is this crisis an opportunity or just + another grab the fire extinguisher moment?" + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Re: shopping for refurb filers

There are many exceptions to NetApp's formal policy -- used NetApp filers with "freely transferable software" do, in fact, exist. NetApp has been very cooperative in the transfer of "used" software licenses to many of our customers.
