RE: SnapDrive install with existing iSCSI LUNS
by Julio Calderon 24 May '07

24 May '07

If you want to test your procedure before you actually do it!! I would create a dummy lun and mount the same way dump some data in it, make sure you format the same type of file system.... Remove and try sd.... That wil raise your comfort level... My personal best practice is to try it, back it up, test restore and then do your live work.... Hope that helps Have fun Julio calderon -----Original Message----- From: Toasters [mailto:toasters@aegonusa.com] Sent: Thu May 24 12:59:08 2007 To:… [View More]

SnapDrive install with existing iSCSI LUNS
by Sean McWherter 24 May '07

24 May '07

I need guidance in setting up SnapDrive on our Windows 2003 Enterprise x64 servers. We have two of these servers clustered hosting our SQL 2000 servers. My question is this: What is the proper way to install snapdrive on a machine that already has LUNs mapped with the iSCSI initiator? Should I disconnect the LUN first? I did read one post on the NOW forums where a guy got hosed by disconnecting the LUN and then installing SnapDrive after someone told him that's what to do. He was never … [View More]

rysnc and filers
by tmac 24 May '07

Okay, I am trying to copy data from a DOT-7 to a DOT-GX. I start off with: mount filer7:/vol/src /src mount filerg:/ /gx I then do (from RHEL4U2): cp -a /src/dir1 /gx I then do: rsyn -avH --delete /src/dir1/ /gx/dir1/ There is nothing changing on the source, yet it transfers files anyway. Anyone have a clue as to why? The destination get some files marked with current time, yet others are marked with an older time. -- --tmac RedHat Certified Engineer #804006984323821 Principal … [View More]

Or rsync --whole-file the first time, or ndmpcopy. ----- Original Message ---- From: Nils Vogels <bacardicoke(a)gmail.com> To: tmac <tmacmd(a)gmail.com> Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 3:59:21 PM Subject: Re: rysnc and filers Hi tmac, On 5/23/07, tmac <tmacmd(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Okay, I am trying to copy data from a DOT-7 to a DOT-GX. > ... > > I then do (from RHEL4U2): > > cp -a /src/dir1 /gx > > I then do: > > … [View More]

A-SIS (Netapp DeDupe)
by Glenn Dekhayser 23 May '07

23 May '07

Doing some reading on the A-SIS feature. Will this only De-Dupe WITHIN a flexvol, or leverage 4kb block commonalities within an aggregate? I would think the savings would be dramatic across flexvols, especially in Boot-SAN environments. Glenn (the other one)

running out of inodes problem
by Magnus Swenson 22 May '07

22 May '07

Hello Toasters, Just wanted to do a quick check, what the standard practise is when running out of inodes on a volume. I have several flex volumes in one aggregate. One of the volumes only at 80% full ran out of inodes. df -i will show number of inodes used and inodes free. This is a 100G volume with 3458831 inodes. According to now.netapp.com, there are two solutions, increase inodes with the 'maxfiles' command, or add more disk space to the volume. Has anybody had experience with this … [View More]

Has anyone built ndmpcopy for Linux recently? The Solaris version doesn't seem to build anymore and the ndmp.org web site does not look very active anymore. -- Augie Schwer - Augie(a)Schwer.us - http://schwer.us Key fingerprint = 9815 AE19 AFD1 1FE7 5DEE 2AC3 CB99 2784 27B0 C072

Re: Clustered heads with SATA disk shelves?

Not sure but I believe you do not want to mix fc and sata loops.

Symantec AV not releasing pBlks
by Horton, Jamie 18 May '07

18 May '07

Anyone ever had the below issue?: I'm running 2 Win2k3 servers as my Symantec Scan Engine Servers (running Symantec Anti-Virus for Network Attached Storage 4.3). Both act as primary vscan scanners (for my R200 and FAS960 filers). Every once in awhile one or both of my filers stop servicing CIFS requests, because they run out of pBlks (control blocks). After several outages this week, I have learned that in order for everything to run clean, I have to do the following in sequence: 1. vscan … [View More]
