Are there any firewalls (or similar) between your two filers? I've see cases where firewalls will drop long-running sessions. So maybe it's not 83GB, but it's really N minutes? Davin.

Poor performance
by David McWilliams 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

We have a FAS270, single shelf running 7.2.2. Since Monday morning it has really started to slow down. There has been no appreciable change in the environment, ie no large data additions, no increase in users, no hardware failures, etc. The messages file is only complaining about being unable to bind to a particular WINS server and being unable to get to our ntp server, both issues we are aware of and working through - neither should cause this though. The 'ps' command provides a huge amount of data, mostly meaningless. The 'statit' command is almost undocumented. Does anyone have any recommendations about where to start looking? -- Sláinte, David Get a safer, faster, better web browser @ http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

How many 750G disks can can fit into an aggregate?
by Stephen C. Losen 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

We're going to buy some shelves of 750G ATA drives. An aggregate is limited to 16T "raw" (which I presume includes parity disks). Not having any 750G drives yet, we don't know what they size down to. Can anyone tell us how many 750G disks (including parity) that you can stuff into an aggregate? Steve Losen scl(a)virginia.edu phone: 434-924-0640 University of Virginia ITC Unix Support

Yes, sorry, VSM df, i can't do while the destination is restricted, i get this when i try to get df output hci2> vol status -b rcv_data rcv_data: volume is offline or is unavailable. hci2> vol online rcv_data vol online: Volume 'rcv_data' was left in an inconsistent state by an aborted vol copy or an aborted snapmirror initial (level 0) transfer. In order to bring it online, you must either destroy and re-create the volume, or complete an initial snapmirror transfer or vol copy.

Make sure you're pointing your browser at http://filer_name_or_ip/na_admin Http.rootdir only applies when serving general-purpose http (statis content). Nothing to do with admin.

accessing lun as a raw device using dm-multipathing from a rhel host
by Alexander Schalek 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Hi! I have some troubles with a oracle rac installation on netapp fcp luns. We use rhel4 u5 with dm-multipathing with a 2.6 kernel Currently we have 4 partitioned and multipathed luns maped to the hosts(mpath0-3) but the rac installation exits with an error. I found the following lines in the fcp host utilities setup guide: Accessing LUNs using dm-multipath Accessing LUNs as a raw devices Overview Instead of creating a file system, you can access a LUN as a raw device. Be sure to use the /dev/mapper/ device created by dm-multipath to access the raw device. For the Linux 2.6 kernel used by RHEL 4, do not use the raw interface. Instead open the device using the open call with the O_DIRECT flag. ***** So I have to access the devices using the open call with the O_DIRECT flag!? Can anyone of you guys explain this sentence to me? How do I do that? Many thanks and best regards, Alexander

Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 10.1 and vscan on filer
by Richard Distrajo 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

Any help on registering the filer to the Symantec antivirus server. I tried to put the filer's hostname /ip address to the symantec antivirus center console but no success. Is this version of antivirus can register the CIFS only filer (ONTAP 7.2.2)? I'm getting error "no network provider accepted the given network path" every time I add the filer's IP address to the symantec antivirus console center...both sides can able to ping each other's hostname and user's permission is already been added as operator on the filer's side.... Thanks for your time on this.... Best regards, Richard Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
