Zeroing out disks
by George Kahler 05 Aug '04

Does anyone know how you can zero out a specific disk(s) ? The "disk zero spares" command or "spares_zero" diagnostic command seem to zero out ALL spare disks only. Thanks, George

The filer's CIFS implementation follows symlinks within the same share, and if you use widelinks, across shares. This is transparent to the CIFS client except for a DFS redirection in the case of a wide link. For a Windows-side tool that can set Unix symlinks on machines running Data ONTAP, contact your SE.

I tried the CYGWIN route. An "ln -s test data" creates a file (seen in DOS windows) that is called data.lnk. CYGWIN in an "ls" command shows it as a symbolic link (data->test). However, if I copy the symbolic link in a DOS window, the new file is a copy of the link, not the data from the file that is linked to. If I copy the file in a CYGWIN, the contents of the linked file is copies (so CYGWIN translates it appropriately). And if I name the file something other than "file.lnk" (e.g. file.dat) in a DOS window, it is no longer a symbolic link.

From my investigations, Windows doesn't seem to have symbolic links. The "shortcuts" that you see on a Windows desktop doesn't resolve at the CreateFile level (operating system call), so it is only handled by Explorer (which is an application, not the operating system). I have not been able to find a CIFS method of creating a symbolic link (and I have looked repeatedly). -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com on behalf of Mike Langas Sent: Fri 7/30/2004 1:11 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: symbolic links My company tried to save some money by getting a Netapp without the NFS license because we will not be using it with Unix.

Make sure that your 3550 model of cisco switch supports 9000 byte mtus... there is an asic limitation in some models of that particular switch that doesn't support true jumbo frames. As for setting up etherchannel... int portchannel-1 switchport access vlan x switchport mode access no ip address int g0/1 channel-group 1 mode on int g0/2 channel-group 1 mode on I'm assuming your just creating a plain vanilla etherchannel (not layer 3.) you can also experiment with various loadbalancing algorithms using port-channel load-balance x to see which one works best for you.

Make sure you've set your MTU to 9000 on both the NetApp and the clients, and make sure the Cisco is configured for Jumbo frames. I'd love to know the correct Cisco settings for a multi-mode VIF as well as Flow Control.

Hi, I'm new here. I bought a bunch of F330 for a peppercorn price at a liquidation sale. One SCSI cable lists for what I paid the the entire array. I figure that in the worst case I can always break and sell the memory sticks and cables. But curiosity gets to me, I'd like to bring at least one of these beasts up. I figured if I powered one up it would kick out a prompt on the console port. But it doesn't seem to. Is there a trick to do a cold reset and get the things to start over? Thanks, and please be gentle with a naive newbie. Henry --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
