automate netcache cli commands
by Kerry Herschel 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

Hi, I would like to script some netcache cli commands like ejecting objects on a regular basis. Is it possible to do this with SecureAdmin? I know with Data OnTap I would do this with rsh but rsh doesn't appear to work the same on NetCache.

Just set the raidlevel from raid4 to raid dp vol options "volname" raidtype dp the filer will grap a spare and do a reconstruct on it the Raidgroupsize will NOT change ! cheers tobias -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Brubaker, Paul [mailto:paul.brubaker@attws.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 30.

Our existing volumes created on Ontap 6.4.2 are setup as Raid 4. Is there any "easy" conversion process to change the old Raid 4 volumes to the newer Raid DP config? Any benefits? Advice?

RE: RAID Group Size Limits?

I believe there is still a limit of 24 with DP. Not positive though. _____ From: Ehrhart, Rick [mailto:Rick.Ehrhart@netapp.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 5:00 PM To: Michael Christian; James Brigman; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: RAID Group Size Limits? Don't forget there is double parity RAID on 6.5 and later. - Rick - -----Original Message----- From: Michael Christian [mailto:mchristi@yahoo-inc.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 4:38 PM To: James Brigman; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: RAID Group Size Limits? Sure, just keep your raid group size at a reasonable level, to avoid double disk failures, and use multiple raid groups. I had a semi-large volume running RAC for about a year which had 6 groups of 12, so 72 spindles in the volume. (I certainly wouldn't use a raid group of 72 though!) -MC _____ From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of James Brigman Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 4:06 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RAID Group Size Limits? Does anyone on the list have experience with RAID group size limits? I seek to convert my qty 5 small volumes for Oracle into qty 2 volumes (one big, one little) for oracle and use lots of spindles. In fact, I'd like to just do a big, giant volume on my filer and put everything in qtrees shared/exported. Anyone out there done this yet? Hit any RAID size limits? Thx; JKB
