Linux / NetApp / Oracle question
by Geoff Hardin 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Hey Toasters, I have a situation that has come up where we are testing Oracle 9i on a 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon system with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 as the operating system. The database itself resides on a NetApp filer. We have run through the normal problems, switching to NFS over TCP rather than UDP, no asynch I/O, not as much like Solaris as we expected, but now we're still not seeing the level of performance that we had expected. Our test database run on a Sun 280R takes about 2 hours; the same test run on our Linux system takes about 2:40. Definitely not the results we had expected. I was just wondering if anyone out there has done something similar and has any tuning recommendations. Oracle tells us that it should work fine on Linux, and we know our other databases work fine running off filers, so that leaves us with a solution that should work, but doesn't. Any recommendations, white papers, or RTFM (as long as you indicate which manual), would be greatly appreciated.

I am a private financial consultant. I am the personal financial / business consultant to a foreigner who worked and died in U.K. without any will. I got your email address while searching for trustworthy individual personality that can collaborate with me in this matter of crucial mutual benefits. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim this money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased. Unfortunately, we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relations died alongside with him in the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you, and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the Bank Treasury as unclaimed asset or used for purchase of weapons of mass distruction etc etc. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and it would not be proper for a CITIZEN OF THE UNITED KINGDOM to stand in as next of kin to a foreigner. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin. I have all necessary documents to back up claims as Next of Kin on your behalf. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I will also instruct you on how you on how you can get paid through the corresponding bank in America, Europe or Asia as this will be Easier for us all. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email my contact details. At this point in time I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as all required arrangements has been put in place. For the avoidance of doubt I can send you my international passport if you want it and I expect that you will reciprocate the gesture by sending me yours too. Please get in touch with me by email to enable us discuss further. Kindly reply to my private mailbox: jmbolton1998(a)yahoo.co.uk Yours Truly, J. M. Bolton

RE: Volume sizes for F840 and FAS940 (was F760 question)

Unfortunately, creating a virtual volume looks like it'll complicate things a bit, so we're looking at upgrading our F760. Now the question is do we go with an F840 or FAS940. I know the F840 can scale to 6TB raw and the FAS940 to 9TB. Does anyone know what the volume size limits are on these systems?

I'm not sure what the limit is. We're well within the 56 disks/loop limit. Any help would be appreciated. If we have hit a filesystem size, then we'll probable have to create a new volume (which we'd prefer not to do). However, if we do have to do this, any suggestions on how to make the new volume appear to simply look like part of the other exported filesystem? Cheers, SMB _____ Do you Yahoo!?

vFilers: "dr configure" to tape and other oddities
by Hill, Aaron 03 Mar '04

03 Mar '04

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I borrow your filer talents for a moment? I am trying to figure out how to do a "vfiler dr configure" to tape. i.e. Setup the mirrored DR vFilers by doing the initial snapmirror to tape. NOTE: This is distinctly different to snapmirroring a volume to tape. At the moment, I cannot see how it can be done using the standard Multistore DR configuration methodology and command set. Is it possible to snapmirror to tape as per normal, restore the tape to the DR "physical" filer volumes and then do the "vfiler dr configure". In this way I have completed the snapmirror portion of the vfiler dr configuration whilst the standard method takes care of the rest. The major obstacle I can see here is that the source qtree names cannot pre-exist on the target volumes. If network-initialization is the only option, can I throttle the initial snapmirror transfer kicked off by the "vfiler dr configure" command? i.e. Will there be volume or qtree entries in the /etc/snapmirror.conf of the physical filer that I can edit with the -k/kb throttling option? Will this option allow me to significantly reduce the snapmirror WAN traffic whilst initializing the DR vfiler(s)? Can I # (hash) out some of the volumes so that only 1 or 2 actively transfer across the line? All designs will be welcomed and considered carefully.

snap list output --- how do I work out the size of an individual snapshot ?...
by Munn, Stuart SITI-ITDIEES 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

Hope you can help... I've read TIP 218 on the now.netapp web site... But it is not very clear on how the %used column is calculated. When it says the calculation is carried out like below this snapshop ------------------- x 100 Total disk space in the system Is the "Total disk space in the system" the 1) Total disk space in the volume(inc snapshot reserve)... or 2) total disk space in the snapshot reserve ... or 3) total disk space in the volume after snapshot reserve is taken ! I think this is a VERY counter intuitive method of displaying space used .... Thanks Stuart Munn
