Re: Use for bad drives
by ScottUCE＠aol.com 12 Mar '02

12 Mar '02

Hello, John: There is a possibility that your "expired" NetApp drives can be repaired. Go to: http://www.seagate.com/support/service/warranty_validation.html Surprisingly, some NetApp disk drives -- but not all -- can actually be returned by the end user directly to Seagate for warranty repair! To extract the drive from the NetApp cannister, you simply have to remove the four Phillips head screws on top and gently slide it out. (If you don't get lucky on the Seagate warranty, we'd be happy to quote you an inexpensive replacement drive!)

DOT 6.1.2R1 dump|restore support on local tape library
by Brian Tao 12 Mar '02

12 Mar '02

What sort of support exists for manipulating tape libraries on a filer? I have an F740 running 6.1.2R1 in a heavy EMC environment using EDM for tape backup. I'm assuming EDM (being an EMC product) will not play well with the Netapp. I can attach an old Exabyte EXB-220 tape library (Mammoth-1 drive, 20 slots) to the F740's on-board SCSI. Given that there is no other backup hardware or software available, what can I do for backups? Is there an "mt" or other DOT command to control the robotics? The filer will eventually hold about 300GB, but I only need a short-term solution for now. First time with a direct-attached tape library... the docs don't say much about tape library support, only tape drives. -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob(a)risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"

RE: CIFS/NFS case sensitivity...
by Muhlestein, Mark 11 Mar '02

11 Mar '02

The problem isn't just with the server, it's the client as well. Any Unix-based NFS client will also operate in a case-sensitive manner, as far as I know. Some people have used smbfs (on Linux/BSD+others?) to do achieve case insensitivity, since that uses CIFS to access files. There is another Unix client filesystem called Sharity that can do this for Solaris and several other platforms, I think. I can't vouch for how these work with the filer, but I have heard of people successfully using them. These Unix CIFS filesystems have some definite limitations, but they may be ok for what you are doing.

Hi, Geoff: You're right -- the disk warranties are supposed to be in force only directly with NetApp, but we have been able to get RMAs from Seagate for a number of broken NetApp drives. It's hit or miss, but worth a minute to plug in the serial numbers in hopes of getting lucky!

CIFS/NFS case sensitivity...
by Scott Mikusko 11 Mar '02

11 Mar '02

Reading info about case sensitivity and how the filer handles such via CIFS & NFS clients, Netapp says that CIFS is case insensitive (but case preserving) and that NFS is case sensitive. Can one make NFS shared files NOT be case sensitive? I'm assuming this is just how NFS works, but wondered if there was some option that could be set that would allow NFS to ignore case on the filer. Any ideas on this would be appreciated. -Scott

Hi Seth, Does Carrier Scan notified the user when they try to transfer an virus file to the filer? pop out window to show that the file has been infected by virus or has been cleared by the AV server?

I am running Symantec Carrier Scan 2.1.3.19 on both NT and Win2k Servers. I am seeing very good performance but I am also running them on the same network as the Filers, the Win2K boxes have GB interfaces and the NT box has a trunct 200MB connection. I have been running on NT since last April with no major issues. >From: "BK LIM" <alf1650(a)hotmail.com> >To: toasters(a)mathworks.com >Subject: Antivirus Software working wif Netapp NAS >Date: Sat, 09 Mar 2002 01:53:54 +0800 > >Hi Toasters, > >Anyone using the Antivirus Software working with Netapp box right now? >How is the performance?

Re: Hidden .snapshot on NFS?
by Mike Schiraldi 09 Mar '02

09 Mar '02

> try this. > vol options vol0 nosnapdir on > should be able to work This appears to completely disable the directory -- i can't even cd into it. I've been on systems where you didn't see it in, say, ls, but you could still change into the directory: $ ls .snapshot ls: .snapshot: No such file or directory $ cd .snapshot $ ls hourly.0 hourly.2 [snip] However, our installation can't do that. Has anyone been able to get this behavior over NFS?
