Wodda bunch O'Whiners! how often do you actually boot from floppies! oh- maybe once at upgrade. tw Rob Windsor <windsor(a)adc.com>@mathworks.com on 05/09/2001 03:16:11 PM Please respond to Rob Windsor <windsor(a)adc.com> Sent by: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com To: toasters(a)mathworks.com cc: Subject: Re: floppy shuffle On Wed, 09 May 2001 15:06:13 EDT, "Todd C.

Sounds like they need to move to bootable CDs. (distribute ISO images) Rob++ ---------------------------------------

No, they are within a qtree that is being shared, but they are not specifically shared themselves. Matt "Honeycutt, Michael" wrote: > > Are the folders being shared?

Matt, Sounds like you have a CIFS share to that data that needs removal, then you should be able to delete it.

Don't forget that at 6.x and above you can interrupt the boot cycle from hard disk with a CTRL-C and it will give you the "floppy boot" menu that we all know and love.

More to the point, when I have to perform a WAFL_check under the gun, I'd rather not have to dig around for a fistful of floppies required to boot the filer for maint.

Unable to delete folder

For some reason my filer won't let me delete a couple of folders. I have run into this problem before. It says access denied or folder in use, but I have administrative rights and I don't believe the folders to be in use (They are empty). If the directories are somehow open or locked, how do I determine what client has them open? How can I force the filer to relinquish the folders. The directories are located within a NTFS style qtree. Thanks, Matt Graham

For diagnostic purposes...the F8xx series filers have diagnostics on-board, and you can access them from the console with or without a working bootable image. -----Original Message----- From: Mr. G. D. Geen [mailto:geen@ti.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 1:57 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: floppy shuffle I have talked to my PSE about this before. When we went to two floppies, this wasn't so bad. Now we are three floppies and I suggested a bootable CD-ROM drive. Maybe in the next generation shelf. I would rather burn a CD as I, too, have trouble coughing up enough floppies for this operation. Consider, also, that the F700 series is Alpha based and the F800 series is Intel based. This means two sets of floppies for me. Fortunately my F520s are going back on lease and I do not have any more F330s. I could not even imagine an NAFS1400 today -- Yow! Personally, I do not see this as whining but a request to the Lords of NetApp. For OS upgrades, one only need transfer the system files and perform an "download" then reboot from HDD after that. No biggie there. When running diagnostics on the mother board and having to run across the data centre becomes a pain, though I do get my exercise in for the day. The Victoria Bitters Physical Fitness operating system. :-) My $.02.

floppy shuffle

Sorry to dredge up an old thread... ONTAP 6.0.1R3: three floppies! ONTAP 6.1R1: *four* floppies!! You guys are killin' me. I haven't had to do floppy shuffles like this since the days of floppy-boot Macintosh's. I can't even *find* any floppies to put these on, not even AOL ones. Until next time...

Question
by Michael Homa 09 May '01

09 May '01

Hi. My name is Michael Homa and I'm a system programmer at the University of Illinois at Chicago. We have a single 740 which we use to contain university and department web pages. We have six Novell servers that we use to service PC machines in our student labs. The servers contain home space and applications. We are considering replacing the servers with two or more netapps (we'd use the 740 and buy one or more additional machines - number of and model type are still in doubt). We'd put the home directories and applications on the netapp and let users access them via shares. We estimate that we would have approximately 3,000 sessions with as yet an undetermined number of both shares and open files. Of the 3,000, we don't have an estimates how many of these sessions will be active. (Since inactive sessions don't appear to be swapped to disk, the number of inactive sessions doesn't really matter.) The netapp folks send us the following information regarding models 740 and 820 (the two models we're considering): 740 820 ----- --- RAM 512MB 1GB Max Users/Sessions 7,200 16,000 Max Shares 14,400 32,000 Max Open Files 144,000 320,000 Max Locked Files 160,384 352,768 num_64mb 8 16 The formulas that they use are as follows: 740: maxusers = ((num_64mb - 2) * 1000) + 1200 820: maxusers = ((num_64mb - 3) * 1000) + 3000 maxshares = 2 * maxusers maxopenfiles = 20 maxusers maxlockedfiles = maxopenfiles + (num_64mb * 2048) The formulas gives us an indication of what is permitted. But, they don't give us an sense of performance with such large numbers. Has anybody else tried to hang so many users off one or more netapps? If so, what kind of performance did your users see? The Netappliance folks haven't exactly overwhelmed us with the names of sites doing something similar on such a large scale. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
