CarrierScan
by Edward Lee 26 Sep '01

26 Sep '01

I have just installed the eval copy of CarrierScan on one of my win2000 servers, it installs successfully but fails to register with the Filer. Has anyone running CarrierScan encountered a problem like this? -Eddie _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Did you check that your user is part of the Backup Operators group on the filer or the domain Admins. group is member of local filer's Admins. group? ------------------------------------------------------------------ eTraitel - I'm the new eBuzzword around !!! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Filer Escalation Engineer CNA, MCSE, CSA, LCA, NetApp CA Network Appliance BV Hoofddorp, The Netherlands Office: +31 23 567 9685 Cellular: +31 6 5497 2568 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Get answers NOW! - NetApp On the Web - http://now.netapp.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ -----Original Message----- From: Edward Lee [mailto:edwardlee60@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 5:41 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: CarrierScan I have just installed the eval copy of CarrierScan on one of my win2000 servers, it installs successfully but fails to register with the Filer.

RE: CIFS and NFS permisions over NFS
by Traitel, Eyal 26 Sep '01

26 Sep '01

Rahul, If you backup a filer over NFS - you will lose CIFS ACLs. If you backup a filer over CIFS - you will NOT lose NFS permissions, since we have a patented (or patent pending, excuse me but I'm not sure) to include NFS permissions in the CIFS traffic itself transparently, and restore it transparently. Thus, if you have a qtree with both filer with NFS permissions AND files with CIFS ACLs you can backup using: 1. NDMP - Since it's filer native format of dump, it backups all special attributes 2. CIFS - Like I explained above 3. NFS - With the notion that you will lose ACL information There are historic threads on this issue by the way.

Can we restore the files from the tape library over NFS with nfs as well as cifs permissions Help will be really appreciated. Rahul

RE: Netware on a Filer???
by Benn, Paul 26 Sep '01

Hello Todd, NetWare can not be run on a filer nor does the filer support NCP. You can, however, integrate the filer into a NetWare environment by configuring the client machines with dual redirectors (NetWare and CIFS).

Filer Problem
by Rahul Kumar 26 Sep '01

26 Sep '01

Hi All, I have a little problem here wherin i can use your help.. 1. Solaris systems in the one of the offices office can NFS mount the NetApp Filer filer1 and work properly. No problems are seen. 2. Irix machines cannot. The can mount exports from filer1 and traverse directory trees, i.e: cd unix/tools/local, etc. Thay can do an ls or 'ls -l' or many directories, but cannot do an 'ls' or 'ls -l' in others. The difference is believed to be the the directories posing problems contain symbolic links. This has not been completely demonstrated. This happens both when the Irix clients are forced to use NFSv2 via the mount option "vers=2" and when they are allowed to default to NFSv3. 3. These same Irix machine can mount a Other offices NetApp filer and have no problems. The symptoms descibed above are not seen. In turn, a other offices Irix system (there are about 500 Irix systems who are active and happy NetApp clients in other office) will see the same same probems when mounting filer1 accross the WAN. 4. The problem between Irix and NetApp centers account the filer1. There are two observed differences betwenn the filer1 and a other filer3, 4.1 Other office is runnig NetApp Release 5.3.5R2P2 while here the filer1 is running NetApp Release 6.0.3 4.2 Other office has "nfs.tcp.enable off" while here filer1 has it set to "nfs.tcp.enable on". 5. We set "nfs.tcp.enable off" in Munich and the Solaris clients hung (they evidently preferred to use TCP over UDP). A reboot of Filer1 and the Solaris systems did not fix them. We turned NFS over TCP back on. 6. We then forced a single Irix NFS mount to use NFSv3 and use TCP via the client mount option "proto=tcp". It worked. 7. Does this symtom of "UDP not working" match a common NetApp misconfiguation? 8. Are there any know issues with UPD under NetApp Release 6.0.3?

benchmarking
by Mark Bentley 26 Sep '01

26 Sep '01

I'm evaluating a NetApp F840C and an EMC Celerra. I'm using a benchmark program called Iozone (http://www.iozone.org/) to test NFS throughput. Are there any other benchmark programs out there anyone would suggest I try? I'm using iozone like this: iozone -a -e -f /emc/foo -U /emc or iozone -a -e -f /netapp/foo -U /netapp on a Sun E4500, and the numbers I'm getting are about 30 MB/sec read/write for the F840 and 20 MB/sec write and 25 MB/sec read on the Celerra. Both are connected with Gigabit Ethernet. The -e option does an fsync/fsflush after every write, and the -U does an unmount/mount of the filesystem between every test. This seems to eliminate the huge throughput numbers I was seeing before, due to filesystem cache. (The E4500 has 4 GB of memory.) Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi, thanks a lot for all the responses i received. About using the TapeAlert in NetBackup, i have thought about it, but the problem is that the cleaning status report contains info about only one of the 2 tape drives while both are used. DRIVE INFO: Drv Type Mount Time Frequency Last Cleaned Comment *** **** ********** ********* **************** ******* 0 dlt* 0.0 0 N/A 1 dlt* 134.2 0 N/A Ever seen such problem ? How can i make it sense and report info about drive 0 ?

I'm using it with Veritas Netbackup 3.4 What i'm asking about is the cleaning of the tape drives in the library. there is a note about automatic drive cleaning enabeling in the L1000. Did anyone use it? And if so, How to get a notice that cleaning has been done ? Best Regards Ahmed

If you're an NT shop, you can set up an IIS server (with all the patches) and point your folders to your filer shares. -----Original Message----- From: Kennard, Dave M SITI-ISEL-31 [mailto:Dave.M.Kennard@is.shell.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 05:37 To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: FTP don't work!
