RE: Excluding files from NDMP backup
by Tom "Mad Dog" Yergeau 12 Apr '01

How about if you wanted to back up A and B to one tape drive, and C,D,E to another? Could you allow multiple data streams and then SET EXCLUDE = C,D,E /vol/vol1 SET EXCLUDE = A,B /vol/vol1 ?

NIS/Passwd lookup order
by Rainchik, Aleksandr (MED, Non GE) 12 Apr '01

12 Apr '01

Hello, Is there a way to let filer lookup user info in /etc/passwd first and then in NIS passwd map. To emulate this Solaris behavior # cat /etc/nsswitch.con ... passwd: files nis ... I have a feeling that as soon as you say nis.enable=1 it just stops using /etc/passwd... -- Aleksandr Rainchik

The NetApp does support a /etc/nsswitch.conf file. We use it to do exactly what you suggest. I'm not sure which version first supported this but it's been available for quite a while.

Re: Symantec CarrierScan info.
by Jonathan Dodman 12 Apr '01

12 Apr '01

We have a thin client environment, and have been desperately awaiting the filer AV products, as we cannot put scanners on our metaframe boxes, or desktops, so that only leaves the filers !! Up until now we have been carrying out daily scans of the filers, but with this new stuff our problem is soved !! (Hopefully).

CarrierScan scans the file (with Norton).

If it is a fairly large or complex file scan (like, say, a big ZIP archive), what does the end user see when they try to access the file? Nothing?

I was just thinking the same thing, and we are investigating moving to diskless thin client desktops, preventing people from even introducing a virus via modem or floppy and saving it to their local C: drive. -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob(a)risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't" ______________________________________________________________________ The information in this email and in any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
