RE: testdc brings up old IPs

Josh, Try running "cifs prefdc print" which will print out the list of IPs for preferred domain controllers that may have been manually specified.

F740 thinks it's a C720, how to re-install?
by stoffel＠lucent.com 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

Hi all, We've got an F740 from another site where they tried upgrading it to 6.1.1 something, but now the system thinks that it's a NetCache C720 instead. I want to upgrade it to 6.2R2, so I've downloaded the software and created the boot floppies (all five of them) and used them to boot. I then initialized six of the disks on the system, and made a new filesystem, but it still thinks that it's a NetCache. Has anyone run into this before? Any suggestions on how to change the system back? Thanks, John John Stoffel - Senior Unix Systems Administrator - Lucent Technologies stoffel(a)lucent.com - http://www.lucent.com - 978-399-0479

FC/AL connection to tape library.
by Bruce Arden 01 Jul '02

01 Jul '02

Is anyone using FC/AL to connect filers to tape libraries? I am using Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (ie no switch) to connect my filer running 6.2R2 to an ATL P3000 tape library. When I first did this the filer could not see the tape drives until it was rebooted (although it could see the FC bridge in the library a soon as it was plugged in). I just had to power cycle the library. Now the filer can't see the tape drives ("sysconfig -t" or "storage show tape" say "No tapes found.") but it can see the FC bridge. Is anyone else seeing this? Is there any workaround, apart from buying a switch or rebooting the filer every time the library is power cycled? - Bruce -- Bruce Arden arden(a)nortelnetworks.com barden2(a)csc.com CSC, Nortel, London Rd, Harlow, England +44 1279 40 2877

Thanks Pramod, The online/offline worked fine. I hadn't tried this before because it didn't appear to work when I first installed the library. - Bruce -- Bruce Arden arden(a)nortelnetworks.com barden2(a)csc.com CSC, Nortel, London Rd, Harlow, England +44 1279 40 2877 Pramod wrote: > Hi, > Have you tried offline and online if the Tape HBA. > > go the advanced mode - priv set advanced > > *> fcadmin offline <Tape adapter> ex: fcadmin offline 1a > *> fcadmin online <Tape Adapter> > > Do this everytime you restart your library or ur bridge.
