Unified Accounts
by Ryan Kather 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05

Greetings, I would like some input into how others here are doing multiplatform account management with their NetApp devices. I have an idea of how I would like to proceed, so if anyone would like to sanity check my thoughts and provide some insight I'd greatly appreciate it. I am looking for a way to unify our authentication services at my employer. Presently we have clients authenticating via Windows PDCs, NetWare eDirectory (Novell Client), and UNIX PASSWD file. In evaluating Novell's new Open Enterprise Server line, I realized a big potential of the Linux version of this is to consolidate directories. For example, I can use Samba to emulate a PDC, NCP Server to provide Novell Client services, and eDirectory via LDAP for UNIX authentication. Which brings me to my nifty network layout. I would like to use OES on Linux to centralize all of this. I would have a Samba domain with the NetApp devices able to join (supposedly). I would configure the CIFS and NFS exports on the NetApp devices. Lastly, I would mount the applicable NFS exports on the OES server itself and reexport them with NCP Server as Novell Shares. To Windows clients it looks like they're in a domain and logging in with their eDirectory IDs, to UNIX clients their login works just like passwd except it's over LDAP(TLS) with their eDirectory IDs and mounted NFS paths, and lastly to the existing Novell users who are not in a domain the NetApp filers would look like traditional NetWare volumes. OES does the magic rights translations to convert everything to Posix (I'd have to check about ACL on Posix). So the key barrier I see involves how to train the NetApp devices to correlate Windows SIDs to UNIX UID/GID. This way a user could access their same data regardless of platform with the same eDirectory login. I know this is possible with Mixed mode security and the usermap.cfg. The questions: -------------------- Is this the optimal way to manage this? Would a simple usermap.cfg entry like THEDOMAIN\* == * do the trick, or are things more complicated then that? Has anyone used a Samba PDC to manage NetApp devices? Thank you for any information anyone has Regards, Ryan -- The more we disagree, the more chance there is that at least one of us is right.

Sophos Antivirus for NetApp anyone?
by Sten Gunterberg 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05

Hi! While evaluating a virus scanning solution for our FAS270 I noticed that there also is one from Sophos, apparently since November 2004. The latest mails about virus scanning on the list were also in November 2004 and did not mention Sophos, so I guess there cannot be many of you using it. But if someone is, are you willing to share yourexperience? One interesting aspect about it (for a small shop like us), is that it does not need to run on a Windows Server, but is happy with XP, at least according to this page: http://www.sophos.com/products/es/endpoint-server/sav-netapp.html Anybody able to confirm that? Others (Trend, McAfee etc.) require a Windows Server (2000 or 2003) "underneath".

RE: ONTAP upgrade from 6.4.2P6 to 7.x
by Edwards, John 18 Sep '05

One clarification to your first point. Since the flexible volumes are newly created, you have to initialize any snapmirrors between them. If you leave you data in traditional volumes, you do not need to reinitialize the snapmirror transfer.

If you aren't upgrading everything at the same time, be sure to update the destinations of the snapmirrors before the sources. If you use qtree snapmirrors, they interoperate OK.

ONTAP upgrade from 6.4.2P6 to 7.x
by George Kahler 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

I need to upgrade present productin F840 cluster environment running DOT 6.4.2P6 in order to support LTO3 tape-drives and an ADIC library. This seems like an oportunity to go directly to DOT 7.x (traditional volumes only - no flex vols yet). I've been pouring over the Upgrade Guide and was wondering what experiences/problems others have came across. 1) What are some of the biggest/troublesome issues ? 2) How long does the upgrade take ? The docs only say hours (in an event that I need to revert back) 3) Has anyone found a need to revert back ? Why ? 4) Available Volume space I believe that as part of the upgrade DOT has to go and change all of the inodes. Are there any implications as far as available space in a volume ? Do I need to make sure that I have some n% of free space ? 5) How did you deal with the new /etc/exports ? I use /etc/netgroups and it seems that I need to totally rewrite the /etc/exports file since '-access' is no longer supported 6) Increased disk & CPU activity after the upgrade The Upgrade Guide mentions that there will be an increase. How much of an increase have people seen ? One of my 840s runs at about 90% busy all the time 7) What version of DOT 7.x would you suggest to upgrade to ? Thanks, George

Two-way mirroring?
by Stewart, John 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

We've got two NetApps, an F740 and an F87. The big 'un is in our US office, and the little guy is in our UK office. We've got a T1 between our sites, and of course the performance sucks for those who access files on the other side of the pond. I'm wondering about possible mirroring options. From what I've heard, all of them are one-way. There is no such thing as a two-way style of mirror, is there? For example, if a user opens a file on one side, it would lock the file on both filers, and then when he saves it, it is synced to both sides. Otherwise, the only thing I can do, really, is set up particular directories to mirror over, and so we'd have a read-only copy of the local folder on the other side, and vice versa. Not really the most useful thing for collaboration. Anyone have any good solutions to such a problem? thanks johnS
