R100 with 256 meg cf card
by George, Andrew 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

I've tried to upgrade two r100's from 32 meg CF cards to 256 meg CF cards (so we can have a backup boot image with OnTap 6.5) On both occasions it's pretty much choked as soon as it's tried to see the 256 meg card and we've had to do some messing around to get a single image onto the card I'm beginning to think that an R100 running 6.4.x just can't see a 256meg cf card correctly and was wondering if anyone else has had a problem doing this?

"Failed" disks on old FC9 shelf
by Ronan Mullally 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

I'm trying to resurrect an old F760 with two FC9 shelves. Both shelves have got 33GB disks in them. One shelf is recognised fine by the filer, the disks in the other are all shown as failed. It's been a long time since I had a filer to play with, so I suspect there may be some configuration / formatting issue causing the problem rather than dead disks. When I boot the filer I get the following: error 19 (disk not ready for requested operation) while reading ownership on disk 1.8 (S/N 3CD1K2JW000021304AR5) error 19 (disk not ready for requested operation) on disk 1.8 (S/N 3CD1K2JW000021304AR5) while reading individual disk ownership area (repeated for each disk on the second shelf) Disk 1.22 Shelf ? Bay ? [NETAPP X231_ST336704FC NA41] S/N [3CD1JAGA00002131841C] initialization failed. (repeated for each disk on the second shelf) No SCSI-3 Enclosure Services on channel 1 shelf 2.

Disks moved from shelf 2 to shelf 1 remain dead. I've tried booting into maintenance mode and reformatting the dead disks. This resulted in an lots of fun and games trying to recover from the 512 byte sector size that the disks were formatted with. Has anybody got any ideas? I'm hoping it's something reasonably straightforward... -Ronan

RE: QLA2340 in FCP mode w/SD
by Varghese, John 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Found the answer: Even in FCP world, you will have to set a preferredIP address. The procedure to do this is as follows: http://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=kb4350 <http://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=kb4350> By setting a PreferredIP address, you will prevent VIFs from flaking out Snapdrive MUST have an Ethernet connection to the filer regardless of the SAN implementation. The Snapdrive "Command & Control" traffic will not flow across the SAN. Snapdrive is using ZAPI and CIFS calls to communicate with the filer and that can only travel over a public Ethernet connection.

QLA2340 in FCP mode w/SD
by Varghese, John 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

I installed two QLA HBA in a FCP SAN. I went to install MPIO license and then rebooted the servers. Now I can't manage the luns in SD; however, I can see the drives in 'My computer' Originally I thought it may be a SANSurfer or Host Attach Kit issue, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It appears that SD uses the UNC path to make the initial connection. Since I had VIFs enabled, it seemed like the path was failing somehow. Has anyone else seen this happen or does anyone know why SD needs to use the UNC path to make the connection. What if my ether-switches die? Does that mean I will not be able to manage my drives in SD? Thanks, JV John Varghese Sr. Engineer Select, Inc.

Dringendal

Sehr geehter Mein Name ist Daniel Ngoye und ich bin der Leiter des Research Department Committee in der Standard Bank in Südafrika. Zur Zeit halte ich mich in den Niederlanden zu einer Fortbildung auf. Ich kontaktiere Sie bezüglich des Transfers einer sehr großen Summe Geldes vom Konto eines Verstorbenen. Ich weiß, daß eine Transaktion dieser Größenordnung zunächst bei jedem Besorgnis erregen wird und versichere ich Ihnen, daß sich um alles gekümmert wird.Aufgrund der Dringlichkeit der Angelegenheit habe ich mich entschlossen, Sie zu kontaktieren. Es geht um folgendes: Einer meiner Kollegen ist für das Konto von Gerald Welsh zuständig, der gemeinsam mit seiner Frau im January bei einem Flugzeugabsturz ums Leben kam. Er befand sich gemeinsam mit anderen Passagieren an Bord einer Egyptian Airline 90. (http://news.bbc.co. uk/1/world/americas/502503.stm ) Seit diesem Vorfall ist niemand seiner nächsten Verwandten mehr am Leben, der als sein Erbe Ansprüche auf das Guthaben auf seinem Konto erheben könnte. Wir können jedoch gemäß unserer Richtlinien das Geld nicht auszahlen, bevor jemand als Angehöriger und Erbe auftritt und seinen Anspruch geltend macht. Aufgrund dieser Entdeckung und der Übereinstimmung Ihres Namens mit dem des Verstorbenen bitten meine Kollegen und ich Sie nun um Ihre Erlaubnis, Sie als nächsten Angehörigen des Verstorbenen anzugeben. Die gesamte Abwicklung und Dokumentation wird sorgfältig von mir durchgeführt, damit das Guthaben von 20.5 Millionen US$ an Sie als nächsten Angehörigen ausgezahlt werden kann. Andernfalls wird die gesamte Summe nach fünf Jahraen in das Eigentum der Bank übergehen und die Direktoren der Bank werden sie untereinander aufteilen. Aufgrund dieser Tatsache habe ich mich entschlossen, mich an Sie zu wenden, damit Sie als Erbe auftreten können und nicht alles den Direktoren zugute kommt. Da aber die Person, die im Testament als Erbin genannt wird, mit ihm gemeinsam verstorben ist, haben wir vom Nachlaßverwalter den Auftrag bekommen, ein Familienmitglied des Verstorbenen ausfindig zu machen, daß das Erbe antreten kann. Wir bitten Sie, unseren Vorschlag anzunehmen und versichern Ihnen, daß alles absolut risikofrei für Sie ablaufen wird. Wir werden Sie mit 5 Millionen US$ an der Transaktion beteiligen, den restlichen Betrag werden meine Kollegen und ich für. Falls Sie interessiert sind, schicken Sie mir bitte folgende Angaben: 1. Name/Firmen name um die erforderlichen Dokumente vorzubereitenp 2. Bankdaten: Konto-Nummer, Swift Code, Kontoinhaber 3. Persönliche Telefon- und Fax-Nummern An meine privat E-mail: (dngoye(a)walla.com) mit Ihrer vertraulichen Telefon-Nr., Fax-Nr., E-mail Anschrift, damit ich Ihnen die weiteren relevanten Details in dieser Sache mitteilen kann. Vielen Dank im voraus. Wir bitten sie eindringlich, die Angelegenheit vertraulich zu behandeln. Bitte antworten Sie mir schnellstmöglich und Gott segne sie. Mit freundlichen grussen, Daniel Ngoye.

Any luck finding NetApp NACA 7.0 certification questions?
by sarath g 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

Hi, I found your messages, i am looking for NetApp 7.0 certification NACA useful questions or material, i can help on Veritas foundation suite, which i am going for exam next week. Awaiting for your earliest response please. Thanks & rgds, Sarath. ---------------------------- I fond the NetApp exams to be probably some of the best in regards to the following: 1) They do not ask questions that are on notes in the training materials. 2) The questions are all on relavent information that is contained in the training materials 3) There are 5 questions related to experience in working with the Filer This is done to help eliminate the 'paper' certifications. 4) On the above experience questions should not cause you to fail if you have studied the training material. 5) After any of the exams I've been able to go to the training material and find the answer rather easily. From other vendors, I am still looking for answers to. Good Luck on the Exams. I also hear that NetApp is changing the Certification Process yet again.

Unfortunately NetApp does not permit for any upgrades to new path and I have to pass new exams from scratch. Can anyone share with me some experience from new exams (I am not asking about explicit questions or other secret stuff)? My past experience was not very good: 1. due small number of questions (30 per exam) it is not so difficult to fail exam by simple mistake or obscure question 2. I have found several question that (without aby doubts) could not be answered without additional data AFAIK problem no 1 is still valid... Best regards, Jacek --------------------------------- Yahoo!

NetApp searches?
by Stewart, John 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

We've got about a half terabyte of data on our F740 in our main office. The folks over in our remote office also access this via a T1. The remote guys would like to be able to do quicker searches through much of this data, probably just by filename. Is there a native NetApp search tool? Any other recommendations? One of the engineers has asked I just do a cron job every night of a complete file listing into a file... but I think this is something that might not even run overnight, we've got so many files. thanks johnS

RE: Netapp Searches ?

Endeca, Verity, Autonomy and Fast are a few other companies that have good search products. Yes, you should definitely consider an off the shelf package that takes security into consideration. Endeca is interesting in that it not only does keyword search, but it also does category navigation so if you don't have the exact thing that you are searching for you can still find things pretty quick.
