Multi-Language setting volumes
by markallen＠micron.com 05 Sep '03

05 Sep '03

I'm setting up a filer to be multiprotocal and to access it from both English and Japanese languages. My question is what language can I use on the volumes to enable me to do this? I found some information on the NOW site that indicates that POSIX supports multiple languages. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this kind of setup? Thanks -Mark

Anyone using trapnotify script for CIFS users?
by Sto Rage ! 05 Sep '03

Dear toasters, Is anyone using this script to notify CIFS users when they reach their soft quota thresholds or their quota limits? The stock script needs modifications to do this. Wondering if someone has already done this. thanks -G

Hello, if the installation manual was followed, you should normally have the following : emu 5 refers the the second shelf connected to 7a emu 4 will refer to the first shelf connected to 7a If you are standing at the back.

Re: Wafliron/WAFL_check in read only mode/tell me if something is wrong, but don't fix mode
by Thorsten.Lemke＠computacenter.com 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

I fully agree that a 'check but don't fix' feature would be very helpful but we made the experience that wafliron do not touch any productive files. We recently had the problem that snapvault refused to run because of an inconsistent file system. It was a volume of about 270 GB and 10m files. As this volume hosted the internet presence of a big customer, we had little chance to take it offline and were understandably doubtful to use wafliron without knowing what we have to expect. So we made a test run on a less critical volume and it turned out to be a quite useful tool. It runs in the background with low priority but nervertheless I would recommend to run it over night. In our case it took about 4 hours to finish and it moved about 1500 files into the lost+found directory. Obviously all of them were already "invisible" as the internet presence was not affected. Afterwards our problem was solved. Of course I can only speak about our case and can not give you any guarantee... Perhaps you are able to do a volume snapmirror to backup your data before running wafliron (that is what we did), because volume snapmirror is working on block level whereas qtree snapmirror and snapvault are working on file level.

They have advised us that there's no way to check a volume while online for errors - a 'tell me if I need to run WAFL_check in fix mode, but don't do anything now' (I realise that WAFL_check prompts before fixing) The issue is that we do not want to schedule offline maintenance with an unkown end time when we don't know if there's anything wrong with the filesystem. We expect that the check to take several hrs as we have 13.5m files & 340G in the volume. Have other run into this before? I see the lack of 'check while online, but don't fix' as a serious flaw with OnTap.

An easy, if not optimal solution, would be to NFS mount the filer onto your Netbackup master server and back that up w/o NDMP. -C. >-----Original Message----- >From: Barry Lustig [mailto:barry-dated-1062974911.42137a@lustig.com] >Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 3:48 PM >To: toasters(a)mathworks.com >Subject: Veritas Netbackup Question > > >I think that I'm in a bit of a quandary.

Veritas Netbackup Question
by Barry Lustig 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

I think that I'm in a bit of a quandary. I'm trying to implement backups using Netbackup 4.5 for a single filer and a handful of unix and windows clients. I have a single Overland library with a single tape drive. As far as I can tell, I have to dedicate the single tape drive to NDMP. This would preclude backing up other systems to that tape drive. Is there anyone on the list that has run into this type of a problem with Netbackup? Thanks, barry
