We are going to test an oracle 9i setup on f740 on AIX . DOes anyone have any recommendations for the same. regards Manish -----Original Message----- From: Bob Humphrey [mailto:bob@cinergycom.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 11:17 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Oracle 9i RAC + Red Hat + Netapp We are currently running Oracle on Sun on Netapp 760s, and considering moving to RAC on Red Hat Linux. Network Appliance has a Tech Report on configuring RAC on Netapps, located at: http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3189.html Is anyone currently doing this? Any gotchas not documented in this document? Do you _have_ to be running Netapp 880s at Ontap 6.1.3R2, or is that simply the latest and greatest?

RE: SQL disconnects from Filer
by Leonard, Bryan 12 Nov '02

Bill, Definitely put those settings that NetApp recommends in place. The oplocks could be a problem. I would also do the following on the filer: 1). priv set diag 2). setflag smb_trace_connect 1 (is not set after a reboot) 3). setflag tcp_trace_RST 1 (is not set after a reboot) 4). printflag (to verify it's set to 1) 5). options rsh.initial_priv_from_console on (this will allow you to trace rsh to the filer and execute the more privileged filer commands.) 6). priv set admin 7). In the /etc/rc file add the following lines. priv set diag; setflag smb_trace_connect 1 priv set diag; setflag tcp_trace_RST 1 options rsh.initial_priv_from_console on These settings will log any TCP resets that get sent from the filer. My own experience is that most of the database drops occur when the filer sends out a RST (reset) command to the database engine. If you have the database go down again, match up the time and see if you do not have a corresponding RST in the messages log. It's a first step. Also, do you have clustering enabled between two filers?

The SQL server application logs in the event viewer show the disconnect but there is no indication of any TCP errors in the System event log. I am not seeing any packet or port errors on the switch these devices connect to. We also have Lotus Notes servers attached to the Filer via the same switch and they do not lose connectivity to their databases. Network Appliances recommends Windows Registry changes for MaxMpxCt, TcpWindowSize, and UseOpportunisticLocking along with corresponding CIFS options on the Filer. I discovered our SQL servers do not have these Registry entries and the CIFS option for oplocks on the Filer is set to on rather than off. Would this configuration contribute to the loss of connectivity on our SQL servers? Any tips appreciated. Thanks Bill Baker

RE: filer to filer copy
by Toal, Dave 12 Nov '02

Frank, If the ndmp or snap utilities aren't available, using multiple remote machines for the tar/cp will speed things up. Mount source and target filers on each box, and run cp commands for each subdirectory on the vol. When I did this, I listed the subdirs, then split that list by n boxes (12 I think it was) with a shell loop on each one doing something like the below. Parallel tuning applies, but it'd probably take more than a dozen cp on different hosts to saturate the filer. for f in `cat $list` do cd $source/$f find . | cpio -dmpv $target/$f done -- Dave Toal Systems reenignE Thomson & Thomson N.

SV: Root/Boot Disk(Volume?) Safety
by Öberg Mats 12 Nov '02

12 Nov '02

Hi, All you need to do is copy the etc-directory from the root volume to your other volume, Then if your root-volume fails, you floppy-boot and select your other volume as root volume, reboot and all is well... Now if you have other stuff on your root volume besides etc, you will still need to restore it from backups. ---- Mats -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Deepak Soneji [mailto:sonejideepak@hotmail.com] Skickat: den 8 november 2002 01:03 Till: devnull(a)adc.idt.com; toasters(a)mathworks.com Ämne: Re: Root/Boot Disk(Volume?)

You can use volcopy I believe. This is how we moved our disk storage from SCSI to fibre a while back. Also, ndmp copy, from ndmp.org works well.

I've seen that - where those red flashes are the shelf warning you that you have an open fiber loop on them. Not a problem per-se - just a warning.

Dan, Do the disks blink red at any regular interval? Do all the disks on a given shelf blink, or just some of the disks?

I've recently been put in charge of admin'ing several F760s and am just starting to learm my way around them. I've noticed that some times the green LED will flash red for just a second and then back to green. This is on drives that are in use and getting quite a bit of I/O. Thanks Dan
