RE: Time to upgrade to Ontap 6
by Jankowski Ted-CTJ012 07 Mar '01

I asked NetApp the same question. The response I got was that WAT is only necessary for 6.0.0 only. So you don't need to run it for any of the current versions. -Ted -----Original Message----- From: Dianna Mullet [mailto:drmullet@link.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2001 1:46 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Time to upgrade to Ontap 6 A few months ago Netapp had me run a tool called WAT to determine whether or not my filers (F760's) could be upgraded to 6.0. I can't find any mention of that tool on now.netapp.com. Does Netapp still recommend running it, and if so, where can I get it?

By this I'm asking both (1) A subdirectory of a volume or qtree that's being backed up (2) Files with specific extensions (e.g. *.pst files so you don't back up Exchange email archives) We're using Veritas NetBackup 3.4.

RE: Is there a way to tell who is mapping specific filer cifs sha res?
by Muhlestein, Mark 06 Mar '01

I don't know of a way to directly do it, but using rsh you could do "cifs sessions *" then parse the output to see which shares are in use for each user. It could be done with a fairly simple perl script.

Hi, We want to intermittantly capture data on which users are mapping which cifs shares off of our filers. Any one familiar with a command line way of doing this, either from NT or solaris or the Network Appliance itself?

Well, a centralized monitoring tool is in development right now at NetApp, but another easier approach would be to leverage auditing on shares, possibly tracking on "successful mounting of a share" events. That way, you would know each time a share is mounted, who did it, etc. -----Original Message----- From: Monica Lam [mailto:Monica.Lam@cosinecom.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2001 11:05 AM To: 'White, Lance'; 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: RE: Is there a way to tell who is mapping specific filer cifs sha res? Thanks. Actually, I was hoping for a simpler way to gather the information on all the user's who are mapping shares and which shares at a specific time. For instance, if an extra parameter can be added to the cifs sessions command (verbose maybe) that would also display the shares the users are using at the same time. That way I wouldn't have to run cifs sessions username on each user that has an open session. Also, since the information is available in the NT server manager, I thought maybe someone might have the command line to get that information from NT. If there isn't such a thing, then I guess a script that takes the output from cifs sessions that parses out the username and then runs the cifs session username will be the way to go.
