RE: Hidden Commands?
by Ben Rockwood 20 Mar '02

20 Mar '02

So, obviously, the big question is where do i find a list of all the "ninja commands"? One thing I've always wanted in Filers was the ability to maintain a filer without having to mount the filesystem (root) from an adminstation. Is there a "cd" or "ls" command for admins? Even with rdfile you have to know where the files are. A much more advanced shell on the Filers would be very very nice. And from what I'm hearing, maybe it exsists but you need to "void_warrenty_on" ? brockwood(a)homestead-inc.com -----Original Message----- From: Sam Schorr Sent: Wed 3/20/2002 3:05 PM To: 'Chris Blackmor'; Mike Horwath Cc: Ben Rockwood; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: Hidden Commands? The funny thing is that rdfile is as tame as it gets from a command standpoint, and does not require priv set advance (rc_toggle_basic). I also wonder how many Netapp owners do not know about the "hidden" commands? So, if the intention is to keep us from messing up by using such, maybe they should have used a more complex "secret handshake". --sam -----Original Message----- From: Chris Blackmor [mailto:chris.blackmor@amd.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 2:21 PM To: Mike Horwath Cc: Chris Blackmor; Ben Rockwood; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Hidden Commands? rc_toggle_basic Is that what you are looking for?

RE: Hidden Commands?
by Knight, Jason 20 Mar '02

I've always thought of these commands being analogous to the Windows/NT Resource Kits. They are very useful and powerful, but poorly documented, and unsupported - unless you are being walked through using them with support, they need to be used with caution.

rm -rf on filers?
by Daniel Jung 20 Mar '02

20 Mar '02

Hi fellow toasters, I have a 20GB size directory which I need to get rid of from one of the volumes on a F630 filer. If the directory was only data on the volume, I would just destroy the volume but it is not. The total volume size is 180GB. Is there a better way of doing rm -rf from the client? Ontap: 6.0.1R3 Filer:F630s with FC8 shelves Thanks in advance. Daniel Jung System Administrator GMO inc

We are evaluating backup applications for our filers. Currently we are talking to Veritas (NetBackup), Legato (Networker) and CA (BrightStor). We may also speak to Workstation Solutions (Quick Restore). I would be interested in hearing about the communities experience with these products. In particular I would like to hear about any show-stoppers, major problems or even minor problems with any of these products when used to backup NetApp filers. Tanx! Larry
