Can I reset a SCSI interface on a filer?
by Allen, Pat 03 Jul '03

03 Jul '03

Hi all, I have a pair of clustered 820's running Data ONTAP 6.4. One of the heads has a SCSI host adapter (Qlogic ISP 1040B) connected to a tape library that we use for backing up the filers. Occasionally the library will become confused and we will need to reset the SCSI interface in order to get it back into an operational mode. In the past we have done a takeover on the partner and then shut down / restarted the head with the SCSI card. Needless to say this is problematic. Is there any way to reset the SCSI interface on these cards without impacting the filer's operations? If not, are there other replacement cards which would allow me to do this? Thanks! --- Pat Allen (pat(a)mbari.org) Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) 7700 Sandholdt Rd, Moss Landing, CA 95039 (voice) 831-775-1724; (fax) 831-775-1620

FAS960/FAS960c Differences
by Gabriel Ajidele 03 Jul '03

03 Jul '03

Hello L&G, Pls I need to know the difference between FAS960 and FAS960c. FAS960 support max raw capacity of 24T while FAS960c support 48T. Can one say FAS960c is for the clustered option with 2 x FAS960 Filer heads connected in a cluster configuration with the necessary cluster modules, or is the FAS960c with just one Filer head? If I have one FAS960 Filer head and disk shelves, what do I need to convert it to FAS960c, do I need to acquire another FAS960 filer head? Thanks, Gabriel. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Email: musamhere(a)email.com,, musamhere(a)hknetmail.com Contact phone number: +. 44 7763959056. Dear Friend, Difficulties encountered in efforts to establish a business abroad necessitate this search for someone to assist me in securing and investing the sum of USD50,000.000( fifty million dollars)inherited from my father's business reserve. I am the heir of a Zimbabwean family; my father was an agriculturist. He became rich from his old-aged investment in agriculture and later was victimized by President Robert Mugabe's land reform policy. He was assassinated by unknown gunmen for defending his land ownership and siding the minority white farmers. Before his death, my father foresaw the insecurity of both our lives and property then decided to deposit the above sum with a private finance and security firm in Europe. This money has become the only inherited property of our family since our home was burnt,and the farmlands and machines seized; yet the government and it's loyalists are bent on making life difficult for us. To summarise this traumatic story, my mother and I have decided to offer 20% of the above sum to anyone who assists us to secure this funds overseas or 30% share for possible help on investing in any reliable venture. there are however some minimal cost involved in securing the release of this deposit from the present holding company.i do not intend to overburden you with these cost.but you must know beforehand that we will be sharing whatever cost involved in retrieving this deposit and putting it to beneficial use. if you would want to proceed under these terms,please reply for detailed information. if you do not accept my offer,please in good fate treat with utmost confidentiality . A quick reply with your name,telephone and fax numbers for more confidential communication will be highly appreciated. Sincerely yours, Musa Mhere N/B: please if you need to speak to my mother, please feel free to ask for her as she will be willing to explain to you. -- Ziskejte kvalitu, kterou si zasluhujete.

blade servers to Filer
by Bui, Marcus 01 Jul '03

01 Jul '03

Hi Toasters, We are migrating many of the current servers to HP blade servers. The Server Team is considering connecting to the Filers/SAN on the back end for storage. I know this is not a problem. Some of the applications servers only need 4GB of space so leaving it on the DAS will be better. Want to best utilize the Filers since not every blade server is a good candidate for NAS if DAS will suffice. What are some criteria to use when considering connecting blade servers to the Filers? Any suggestion is appreciated. cheers, Marcus Bui

A few items to clarify: - The environment have both Filers (F880c, F820) and SAN (Sun,HDS). Filers running CIFS only. - All HP blade servers are Windows client. - Have not implemented or tested iSCSI. Probably not any time soon. - The blade servers will have mirrored drives, probably 36GB drives, with 9GB partition for OS. The rest can be Data to fully utilize the drive. - Most of the application residing on these servers are not disk I/O intensive. cheers, Marcus -----Original Message----- From: Bui, Marcus [mailto:Marcus.Bui@aiminvestments.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 11:11 AM To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: blade servers to Filer Hi Toasters, We are migrating many of the current servers to HP blade servers.

FDDI adapters in FAS900 filers?
by Francett, Robert D (SAIC) 01 Jul '03

01 Jul '03

Hello toasters, Has anyone used the FDDI network adapter X1105 (DEC3002) on a FAS940 or FAS960 filer? It is not approved according the the NOW site, but has anyone tried it? I have this card currently working, and supported, in F840 machines and plan to replace these with the 900 series. Considerable leverage is being applied to maintain this service. Thanks, Bob Francett
