Enterprise Vault for Exchange
by Bui, Marcus 14 Apr '03

14 Apr '03

Hi Toasters, I have an F820 that will be used for MS Exchange archiving of PST. The product use is Enterprise Vault for Exchange by KVInc. I'm finding out more details about the product but is basically stores PST in compress single instance. Is anyone currently using the product? Any 'gotchas' or specific requirement setup on the Filer? thanks, Marcus Bui

Paul, >ndmpd status ndmpd ON.

The quickest way to resolve the below is to just schedule downtime and reboot the filer. The backup jobs that died poorly on the client side, which didn't let the filer know they were broken will then be cleared on the filer side as well. This type of problem caused by the client's backup job dying poorly is better handled in later version of OnTap.

more virus scan questions
by David Papas 14 Apr '03

14 Apr '03

Got a question regarding the "scan failures" numbers revealed in the "vscan" command. Does anyone know if these logged failures represent: 1) A failure to contact the virus server upon a scan request. 2) The virus server is contactable and registered and all, but fails to actually scan the file for whatever reason. 3) A combination of these and possibly some other statistics I'm overlooking? Thanks all, -D.

2 telnet sessions
by devnull＠adc.idt.com 14 Apr '03

14 Apr '03

Dear Toasters, I am trying to see if its possible to connect to the filer via more than 1 telnet session. The only "options" i see is telnet.enable I would like to be able to connect to the filer via 2 telnet sessions, maybe even run sysstat under 1 and do "work" on the other. Please advice, Thanks, /dev/null devnull(a)adc.idt.com P.S: Running ancient versions 6.1.1R2 and 6.1.2R1.

/dev, Multiple rsh sessions are supported (6.1.3R2), it's possible to have one terminal window running an rsh filer 'sysstat 1' while doing telnet or other rsh commands from other terminals. Add the rsh hosts to hosts.equiv in your root vol/etc. -----Original Message----- From: devnull(a)adc.idt.com To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Sent: 4/14/03 11:26 AM Subject: 2 telnet sessions Dear Toasters, I am trying to see if its possible to connect to the filer via more than 1 telnet session.

As far as I know, you can't do two telnet sessions. What you can do is an `rsh filer sysstat` and a telnet session.

Using a filer for AFS storage
by frank marxs 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

Has anyone succeeded in running AFS while using a Filer as storage? Wondering if anyone has experience running AFS filesystem which use an filer / NFS export as their primary storage ? I want to try AFS exporting a filesystem / volume which is being NFS mounted from a filer ? We have spare filers with lots of spare disk space ... and for a variety of reasons management is insisting that this next project use AFS for more security. I would like to know if I can have my AFS server use the filer for disk space, and give me an AFS export to my AFS clients... Any thoughts on feasibility, or potential problems? In this scenario the Filer would have an export dedicated only to the AFS server [potentially on a private network] and the AFS server would be the only system with any control / access to that NFS mount. NFS export AFS export Filer ------------->SUN / IBM / AFS server -----------> AFS Client Mounting NFS Storage Exporting via AFS Can AFS export a filesystem it's mounting via NFS, or does AFS need some sort of raw or device level control to it's filesystem / partition?

AFS server from Filer
by frank marxs 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

Has anyone here ever succeeded in having an AFS server [OpenAFS or other] use a filer for it's storage? I need to do secure AFS file sharing for a variety of reasons, and am wondering if there's a way I can use the free space I have on my filers as storage for this AFS exports? I'm thinking of NFS exporting this storage to an AFS server and letting the AFS server re-export this data via AFS.

Gxs EDISwitch using NFS on filer
by Garrett Burke 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

Hi, We are invetigating running Gxs (Global Exchange Services) EDISwitch enterprise ver 7.5 on HPUX-11i mounting its DB directory via NFS onto a filer. While we can get read rates of 8M/s and write of 6.5M/s for flat files on a lightly loaded 840c, when trying to load the EDISwitch app it is taking approx 20 mins to load ~2GB of DB info (~1.7MB/s). The majority of the 2GB is split across 7 data files. The files are on a newly created volume of 7x36GB disks with no other data on it. Is anyone running EDISwitch with its DB NFS mounted? If so, what config do you have r.e. mount options on HPUX box, filer config and LAN (Jumbo frames?) Gxs says that this is a supported config, but the above rate makes it unusable.
