Dear friend, It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and assistance in the context stated below: May I first introduce myself I am Mohammed Abacha, the eldest son of Late General Sani Abacha (former Military head of state and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) who died suddenly on 8th June 1998. I will want you to read more of me on this web page below:http://www.vanguardngr.com /articles/2002/columns/c128022003.html. if you are trustworthy and can assist me receive some millions of my money kept with some security companies in vaults in Europe, get back to me immediately to enable us proceed at once. The money was kept in a consignment with a Security Company overseas and I have all documents with me as of when it was deposited in a Security Vault for safekeeping. This money has been defaced for Security reasons and also to avoid it been spent by unauthorized persons. We have been deliberating on how to invest this fund abroad in a confidential manner until we came to a conclusion to invest it in the buying of estates and part of it will be used for non-speculative investments in your country. I am therefore soliciting your help to collect the consignment of money on my instruction for the release to you and after then transferred into your account. I will give you all the necessary documentations to facilitate your collection of the consignment personally overseas. The government has no or will never have knowledge of this business, so there is no need to be worried about your safety. I guarantee your safety. Once I have your complete assurance that you can handle this, I will immediately send to you the relevant documents that you will provide to the security company to enable you take possession of the consignments. This will include certificate of deposit and letter of authorization. Meanwhile all I need from you is as follows: 1. Confirmation of your ability to handle this. 2. Your word that you will keep this business as confidential as possible at all times until we conclude this business. 3. Your Name, address and telephone numbers for easy communication. If you agree to help, I will compensate you sincerely for your candid effort in this regard with 15% of the total amount of the total money in question, while 10% has been set aside for minor expenses such as telephone and other bills that you might incur. The remaining 75% will be invested meaningfully for me and my family future. I look forward to your quick response while thanking you for your co-operation. Best wishes, Mohammed Abacha.

SV: Vol wafliron

I had to run wafliron on the volumes on one of our filers a couple of months ago, worked great. The only thing is that if you need to run it on the root-volume, you have to strt it from the boot-menu. ---- Mats -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Merkin, David S [mailto:david.merkin@gs.com] Skickat: den 17 juli 2003 21:30 Till: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Ämne: Vol wafliron Hi All: Has anyone run vol wafliron with any issues.

setting nfs timeout values
by Igor Schein 17 Jul '03

17 Jul '03

Hi, we're using nfs option soft for all mount off of a filer. My goal is to tune NFS parameters so that I can do a quick filer reboot without currently running jobs giving NFS errors. First UDP. On Solaris, default value of retrans is 5 and default value of timeo is 11, and the way I understand it that I have 5*11/10 = 5.5sec of allowable NFS unavailability before getting fatal NFS errors - not good enough for a filer reboot. So I can set, for example retrans=50,timeo=60, or retrans=15,timeo=200 etc., in order to extend the *grace* period to 5min. My guess is higher timeo/lower retrans is better than vice versa. Now TCP. On Solaris, default value of timeo is 600 (1min), and retrans is N/A, so does that mean that if my only option is to set timeo=3000 to achieve the same goal? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks Igor

Appletalk gateways
by Steven M. Tylock 17 Jul '03

Hi, I'm looking for current experiences in a mac environment where NFS/CIFS won't cut it (yes OS X supports them, but older systems exist). The toaster archives suggest that a Unix / netatalk gateway can work, but the latest post looks to be 2001-ish. thanks, steve --- Steven Tylock SMTylock(a)Lynx-Systems.com

Another option would be to use VLD on a Windows server. You would use VLD to the filer, and then create an appletalk share on the VLD.

Tylock Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Sent: 7/17/2003 7:22 AM Subject: Re: Appletalk gateways We provide home directories to our mac users via Netatalk. OS X can also connect via CIFS. There is a bug in the latest netatlk with MS Word. You get an error 'too many files open' if you try to save over an exisiting Word doc. Otherwise it's works great for us.

RE: Restricting volume access to specific network interfaces
by Alan McLachlan 17 Jul '03

17 Jul '03

William, Dirk is right, however if all you want to do is host a database on your filer there's no need to spend the money on a Multistore license. I've been doing this for over four years now (long before vfilers/multistore). Just create a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet network segment (seperate switch or port VLAN or simple crossover cable). Create a separate IP range for the dedicated "storage network". Here you can be creative and use jumbo frames (large MTU) if your switch supports it to improve large transfer performance. Because it's a seperate physical network the large frames won't be seen by your routers so you can use them safely. For NFS databases, simply set up a seperate identity in your hosts file for the filer on the storage network and you're done. For CIFS (Windows) things are a little more complicated. If you're using SQL Server 7.0 or 2000, set the trace flag to allow UNC paths ("dbcc traceon 1807"). The only catch is that the UNC path (or mapped drive letter for Sybase/Informix/Oracle) must use the actual dedicated network IP address, not a name or you'll get a "network path not found". Using a LMHOSTS #PRE definition doesn't help here as the issue is the authentication path to the domain controller. (Named paths force a direct DC lookup first to get a token to send with the open file request, IP address paths force the target device to do the lookup itself which is what we need in this case). So, to access your tablespace files the path might be something like "\\192.168.1.100\SQL$\MSSQL\" Certainly the share is still available on both networks - which is what you are trying to avoid, however you use can use the ACL's and hidden shares to reduce or eliminate the risk of user access to the share over the LAN. This approach is recommended in several of the NetApp database integration technical reports available on www.netapp.com regards, Alan McLachlan Senior Systems Engineer Storage Management Solutions ASI Solutions www.asi.com.au Ph +61 2 6230 1566 Fax +61 2 6230 5343 Mobile +61 428 655644 e-mail amclachlan(a)asi.com.au -----Original Message----- From: Dirk Schmiedt [mailto:Dirk.Schmiedt@munich.netsurf.de] Sent: Wednesday, 16 July 2003 9:44 PM To: Holland, William L Cc: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: Re: Restricting volume access to specific network interfaces Holland, William L wrote: >Is it possible to restrict access to volumes/qtrees/shares to specific >network interfaces?

You'll have to buy a MultiStore / VFiler license. This will give you the ability to use multiple independent routing tables for different physical and/or virtual network interfaces, named "IP spaces". Then you create a vfiler and assign your qtrees/volumes and the selected ip space to it, configure the protocol NFS, CIFS, RSH and you are done. Smile & regards!
