Implementing VIFs
by Ben Rockwood 07 May '04

07 May '04

Hello Toasters. I want to migrate all my Filers to using VIFs for switch redundancy. But in my testing so far, I can't see any way to get around taking an outage, assuming you want to retain the same IP, since you aren't allowed to create a VIF with the same IP of a live interface. Does anyone know a way around this? It still seems best to take an outage to reboot the filers and verify that everything is going to work properly in case of a panic, but I'd still like to avoid it. Thanx. benr.

Mail queues and rocket drives
by Maren S. Leizaola 07 May '04

07 May '04

Hi, I've been thinking about moving our outbound mail relay queue and deploying a NetApp. However I came across solid state disks. I found that in terms of SCSI based solid state drives Curtis makes the best and most affordable stuff in the 1G-8GB size. It has SCA interfaces and dimmesions of a SCSI disk that will fit into a hot swap bay. These start at around US$2000 and seem to max out at 10,000 transactions per second. Given that our mail queue back log does not grow above 100MB I am thinking of getting Cenetek's Rocket Drive with 1GB, this is a PCI board that has its own external power and hooks to your UPS. A magazine benchmarked them to 30,000 transactions per second at US$1000 it seems like a bargain to me. Centaket rate them at 100K transactions per second. In its price range feature performance it seems to have a very clearly defined niche. It also beats ram drives as it does not require the machines CPU to do the IO. Anyway I just want to know if any of you guys are using these to boost your servers and have any opinions or advice.

cifs audit log
by Bui, Marcus 06 May '04

06 May '04

Hi Toasters, I have three ntfs volumes on a F880. Looking through the cifs audit log, there are entries (file acess/delete, etc..) for two of the volumes but not the third. The audit should audit for the Filer on all volumes. But seems like one volume has no entries at all in the cifs log. Environment: F880, DOT 6.4.2.P12, cifs only, cifs.audit.autosave.file.extension cifs.audit.autosave.file.limit 0 cifs.audit.autosave.onsize.enable off cifs.audit.autosave.onsize.threshold 75% cifs.audit.autosave.ontime.enable off cifs.audit.autosave.ontime.interval cifs.audit.enable on cifs.audit.file_access_events.enable on cifs.audit.logon_events.enable on cifs.audit.logsize 204800000 cifs.audit.saveas /etc/log/adtlog.evt Any ideas??

charity organizations
by Kolifa Salingo 06 May '04

06 May '04

Dear Friend, As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Kolifa Salingo a merchant in Dubai,in the U.A.E.I worked with Zambian Ministry of Mining and Resources for eight years as a contractor, I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer . It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not even myself)but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations. I have set aside 20% for you and for your time. God be with you. Kolifa Salingo

16 group limit?
by Stewart, John 05 May '04

05 May '04

We're running an F740 currently running ONTAP 6.1.3R2 (though this has been a problem for as long as we've had a filer). We run our main filesystem with UNIX-style file permissions, and have both NFS and CIFS running. The problem we have is that if a user is in more than 16 groups, the filer will ignore the 17th and higher groups, as if that user is not a member. This is only a problem on the CIFS/Windows side. As far as I know, this is not an inherent Windows limitation, but a NetApp problem. Does anyone else run into this... how do you work around the issue (we've got a lot of engineers in many project groups, so we've got to juggle them around in the groups file to minimize the problem)? thanks johnS

RE: Filer Technical Documentation
by Alan Biren 05 May '04

05 May '04

Nathan, I always make sure to include the configuration as sold, and then include the following commands: sysconfig -v, ifconfig -a, vif status, vol status -v, sysconfig -r, df -h, license, options, sysconfig -d. The following files are then also included: Hosts, exports. Then depending on what is installed, I would include the lun information, host initiators, snapmirror configurations, snapvault configurations, if there are any switches involved, document those configurations. I try to include the information that would be needed to rebuild the system from scratch in the event that it was to disappear. Good Luck, Alan Biren -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Nathan Alberti Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2004 11:52 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Filer Technical Documentation I need to complete technical documentation for a filer I'm currently installing and I'm a little perplexed on how to approach it. Because of the "Appliance" style of the device, its not as easy to create a detailed document as your typical Wintel/*nix server. If anyone has a template they use/have used to document a filer install/configuration I would be most thankful. -- Regards, Nathan Alberti Network Engineer GLOBAL DIAL PTY LTD PO BOX 829 Claremont, Western Australia 6910 Suite 1/278 Stirling Highway, Claremont WA 6010 Telephone: +61 8 9383 1800 Facsimile: +61 8 9383 2818 Email: nathan.alberti(a)globaldial.com Website: www.globaldial.com ___________________________________________________________________ The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
