: The problem with rc_toggle_basic is that you have to remember : to execute it in pairs, to leave the filer in the same mode. : : Is there a better command? The most reliable way to run advanced commands via rsh is with rsh -l root:{password} "priv -level secret; {command}" The "priv -level secret" works for ONTAP 5.3 and later, including ONTAP 6.x. It sets the privilege for the current rsh connection, regardless of whether the console is currently in privileged mode or not. In ONTAP 6.x, "priv -level secret" is equivalent to "priv set advanced". Hope this helps. - Brian

Thanks for the quick reply to my previous question. I have one more likely simple question What versions of OnTap can you use {priv set advanced} over rsh, and which do you have to use {rc_toggle_basic}? If using rsh to execute commands, i have seen old versions which require rc_toggle_basic and other versions which you can use priv set advanced. The problem with rc_toggle_basic is that you have to remember to execute it in pairs, to leave the filer in the same mode. Is there a better command? -- _______________________________________________ Have you downloaded the latest calling software from Net2Phone?

Odd Log Entries

I was hoping that some one out there may be able to shed some light on the following log entries that we have started seeing on our CIFS only Netapp 840. Fri Sep 28 08:50:07 BST [CIFSAuthen:error]: CIFS - response from domain controller was larger than we could handle.

Commands on Partnered Filers
by Julius Talbot 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

Are filesystems and interfaces local to each filer, even when clustered? Or, when clustered, does each filer shares the filesystems? Specifically, if I have filers A and B, and I run "df" and "ifconfig" against each filer: Do they return the same outputs? Or, does each filer retain its identity when clustered? So, /vol/vol0 and all other filesystems on filer A is different than /vol/vol0 and all other filesystems on filer B? Does it matter what mode I am in? Takeover, Cf Disabled, etc? So essentially, what I am asking is: Is each filesystem identifiable by it's Filer Serial number AND File system name? Or, by it's Cluster and File System name? Thank you all! -- _______________________________________________ Have you downloaded the latest calling software from Net2Phone?

RE: Anyone out there do backups via a share?

You should create a share on the snapshot.

RE: FTP don't work!
by Muhlestein, Mark 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

If you have NT security, the ftp users, which are Unix based, have to be successfully mapped to NT accounts. You can tell if that is happening by using the "wcc -u <ftpuser>" command. For example, if you are attempting to use a user "ftp" to access a file you have to be able to successfully run "wc -u ftp". That will show the mapping and groups for that user. If you turn on the cifs.trace_login option it will show step-by-step the mapping process. Of course, you also have to give enough rights to the mapped user to be able to access the files in question.

CIFS permissions problem on restore
by Drew O'Donnell 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

We are testing a restore from tape on to our non clustered 820. We are using Veritas Data Center 3.41 and the security seems to get lost on the restore. Currently we are using CIFS exclusively on this filer, and we are running ONTAP 6.01 r3. The backup an restore are initiated by our backup server which is running Solaris 2.8 64 bit and we are using NDMP. We are licensed for NIS, but currently are not using this feature. Any ideas? Thanks Drew

RE: multiple nic's, seperate subnets, PDC communication prob
by Mike Sphar 27 Sep '01

If you're so inclined, you can also do this in the filerview GUI if you have (I believe) version 6.x. When modifying the settings of an individual interface in filerview, there's a checkbox for whether that interface should register with WINS. -- Mike Sphar - Sr Systems Administrator - Engineering Support Peregrine Systems, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: jwitham(a)takedapharm.com [mailto:jwitham@takedapharm.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 5:38 PM To: mgraham(a)resgen.com; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: multiple nic's, seperate subnets, PDC communication prob You can do an 'ifconfig eX -wins' to either de-register the new NIC and/or not register it at all.

I'm sure this has been answered before, but I couldn't find the answer. The filer is working great with existing network, using e0. When I try to bring up another network card on a seperate network, the filer tries to register the new ip with the WINS server on the first network. That operation barfs, then it looses communication with the DC (you can ping the DC, but "cifs testdc" fails) If I shutdown the new interface, communications with the DC resume. Everything seems to work fine during the period in which it is out of communication with the DC. I don't want it to register the new IP with the WINS server or DC (Can I stop that?). In fact, only NFS operations will be used on the new network. any advice? thx, Matt -- __________________________________________________________ If you can remain calm, you just don't have all the facts¿
