Anton, Have you checked that the drives are all formatted 520 bytes per sector? Seagate have on their website "Seagate Tools Enterprise" that will allow you to change this. http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/B7b.html -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Anton Sent: 04 April 2005 11:07 To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: How to use non netapp disks on an F720 netapp ? Hello, I have an old F720 it has 3 9gig drives , but 2 of them are dead , i would love to be able to reuse this netapp but netapp drives are too expensive for me , as i use this stuff at home i'm not able to invest more .

I've done double disk failure tests with both 3 and 4 disk RAID-DP volumes. No problems.

At a recent NetApp presentation it was mention in passing that RAID-DP fails if a double disk failure happens to hit the two parity disk. Is this true ? George

RE: experience with iSCSI from W2K3 servers?
by Alan Biren 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

When working with iSCSI on W2K3 server or any Microsoft OS, the key is the networking component. If it is at all possible, I enable Jumbo Frames and create a separate VLAN for the storage traffic, very similar to a FC SAN. You also want to make sure that you Bind the Volumes and make the target Persistent. I also use a VIF (multi or single) as well as etherchannels and NIC Teaming to try to aggregate bandwidth. If you are able to use SnapDrive, it'll make connecting and managing the LUNs much easier, especially if you will need to increase their size. I've only used HP Proliant servers. I've used the MS iSCSI Initiator (all versions) and the QLOGIC 4010. If you are going to cluster and iSCSI environment, I recommend reading MS Article 883397. I would follow the steps even if it not a pure iSCSI environment. -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Rob Winters Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 5:39 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: experience with iSCSI from W2K3 servers? Does anyone have feedback or gotchas about W2K3 accessing large iSCSI space on NetApp filers? With what hardware? HBA and/or software initiator? How about clustering W2K3 servers to a NetApp iSCSI target, or similar HA configurations? Thanks! /// Rob P.S.

That rumor has floated around from time to time, but I think it is bogus, and floated by people who don't understand the culture of NetApp. Why would you ask that question now? Has something happened to make the idea conceiveable?
