Your middle step might be easier if you used the cifs-session-list-iter-start, cifs-session-list-iter-next, and cifs-session-list-iter-end ONTAP APIs. NOW information is at: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/manageontap. Unfortunately, there is no cifs terminate API at this time, so you would still have to use rsh to do the cifs terminate. - Rick - > -----Original Message----- > From: David Lee [mailto:t.d.lee@durham.ac.uk] > Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 3:56 AM > To: toasters(a)mathworks.com > Subject: cifs terminate username? > > > (System: ONTAP 6.5.5) > > >From the NetApp admin perspective, it would sometimes be > very useful to be > able to issue, via scripts, a command: > cifs terminate username > > Alas, this does not seem possible.

FWW: We do user login ID renames from time to time ourselves. We don't do a lot of these so I have not considered scripting this. Our environment is Windows (Ontap 6.5.2R1) so this may not apply to you. If the user does have a CIFS session open I can terminate that session by using Microsoft's MMC to disconnect the user. We do warn them first that that this will happen. Basically, right click the my computer icon on my PC. Select manage. Right click computer management / connect to different computer and connect to the filer. Find the user's connection then disconnect it. Seems like a lot of work as the steps are written but I find it to be real simple & quick. I have no idea if it's possible to script this... Vbscript + WMI perhaps?

>whose middle step is not script-friendly. Perhaps not, but it's IMO not so unfriendly as to make it *far* too expensive to parse correctly. So what I would try is to script it, using some powerful pattern matching tool(s) such as that available in Perl. I can see that it may take a rather skilled programmed to get this right. I agree with you that it would seem very convenient to be able to do cifs terminate <username> I suspect there's a potential problem here though, and it may be the reason for NetApp not having (yet) implemented that semantics: there may be several users connected from the same CIFS client (e.g. MS Windows host, or UNIX host with smbclient for example). If you then do 'cifs terminate <wsname>' it would not be the correct thing to do. I don't know if there would be 2 separate resources on the server side (in ONTAP CIFS handling) in such a case so that you can terminate one of them and leave the rest unaffected. If not, it's probably very hard to do a correct and logical implementaion of the semantics one wants here. Caveat lector: I'm not even close to knowing enough about CIFS inner workings to feel very sure about any of the above. >(There doesn't seem to be >an "mv" or similar, although I do see an "mv" under priv/advanced... but >I'm always slightly nervous around priv/advanced.) Does even that work if the directory is "held" by an actice CIFS session from a client? I suspect not. Also, you might not be able to script this, i.e. is it possible to do rsh <file> priv set advanced mv <from> <to> or do you have to be interactively connected to the console to use this mv?

New install
by Tim Longo 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

I'm in the process of setting up a new FAS270. The first thing I did was upgrade firmware/nd Ontap to version 7. After doing some reading, I think I will plan to implement FlexVols in the remaining free space. The root Vol0 seems to be bigger than I would have made it, and it seems it needs to be a traditional Vol that I cannot resize. I'd be interested to know what other people are doing here... are you leaving Vol0 as a traditional volume and adding other flex vols? What about resizing the root volume? Thanks.

No one's mentioned it but one serious benefit to a separate root volume is an inconsistency state in a non-root volume. http://now.netapp.com/AskNOW/highlight_html.jsp?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnow.net app.com%2FNOW%2Fknowledge%2Fdocs%2Fontap%2Frel701r1_gf%2Fhtml%2Fgfiler%2 Fplanning%2Fstorpla5.htm&sentenceId=70026552&titleIds=70026550%2C7002650 9%2C70026504#1291843 ~JK ________________________________ From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Mike Wargel Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 10:25 AM To: Callaway, Michael; Tim Longo; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: New install The other thing to consider is mixing drive sizes in same filer.

The system's neural network input database is designed so that the neural net actually chooses the instrument to trade as well as the trade parameters. A neural network is a software (or hardware) simulation of a biological brain (sometimes called Artificial Neural Network or "ANN"). The purpose of a neural network is to learn to recognize patterns in your data. Once the neural network has been trained on samples of your data, it can make predictions by detecting similar patterns in future data.

You can convert the root volume to a flexvol. On systems like the FAS250 and FAS270 it yields the most benefits with the limited number of disks/shelves supported. The root volume never goes over a couple of GB. So to be really save, allocate 10 GB to it. No sense wasting 2 entire disks for it. Put it on an aggregate with other flexvols.
