mounting a volume on windows machine from a linux machine using ssh
by Anna M 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

I have a windows 2003 server where I have set up an ssh service. Now I want to mount a filer volume there. I can execute normal commands using ssh on that windows machine from my linux boxes but I can not successfully execute mount/ net use commands. Every time I try it, I get error: The local device name is already in use. Though I can execute same commands using rsh. Any clue whats wrong here? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/mounting-a-volume-on-windows-machine-from-a-linux-mac… Sent from the Network Appliance - Toasters mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

snapvault start question
by Romeo Theriault 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

I'm just starting to test snapvault and I have a few questions about it's usage that I haven't found sufficient answers for in the documentation. I'm hoping someone might be able to help explain them to me. * On the snapvault start command you can specify your source (primary) dataset by these three different options. 1. filer:/vol/volname/qtree_name - for a particular qtree 2. filer:/vol/volname/- - for non-qtree data in a volume 3. filer:/vol/volname - for contents of entire volume including all qtrees. My question is, "Is there any difference between options 2 and 3, if I don't have any qtrees in any of my volumes?". Second question is in regards to a note in the snapvault documentation that states: "7.2.3 Volume to Qtree SnapVault When issuing the snapvault start command, you are not required to specify a qtree name for the source; however, this practice is not recommended. This type of relationship increases the performance of the SnapVault transfer; however, it also increases the amount of time it takes to perform a backup. Since you must specify a qtree for the SnapVault destination, an entire volume then resides in a qtree on the destination. When it's time for the restore via the Data ONTAP CLI, the entire contents of the qtree, which contains all the data from the source volume, is restored to a qtree on the SnapVault primary system. Once the data is restored, you must then manually copy the data back to the appropriate location." As I've eluded to in my question above, we don't use any qtrees in our environment. Is the above note saying that when I do a snapvault restore that it's going to restore back into a qtree and I'll have to manually copy the contents out of the qtree back into the root dir of the volume before it will be back to the way it was before the restore? I'm hoping that's not what it's saying, though it sure sounds like it. Thanks for any help on this, Romeo

RANDOM Questions
by ifstat 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Hi I have a few random question regarding the FAS3170 and Data ONTAP 7.2.3. 1. Does netapp support IBM 3583 Tape Library or has anyone successfuly configure a FAS system with this library? 2. What are the maximum number of volumes that you can snapmirror, I know concurrent on the above DOT is 100, is it equal to the number of volumes -1 for vol0, thus being 499? 3. A normal Active/Active cluster, what is the maximum distance that is supported between nodes without additional licensing or fc switches etc. Thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/RANDOM-Questions-tp18510440p18510440.html Sent from the Network Appliance - Toasters mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

cifs and umask?!?
by Willeke, Jochen 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Hello toasters, we have several volumes with unix-sec style where there is a cifs share on that volume/qtree as well. For this reason we use the usermap.cfg and it works quite well so far. The only question i have is, when i create a new file on a volume/qtree with unix sec-style using the cifs share and a windows user the unix-permission is always 777. Is there something like "umask" which can be set on the filer to get another permission style?? I found a related bug in now but there is no solution :/ http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=29551 Regards Jochen -- WINCOR NIXDORF International GmbH Sitz der Gesellschaft: Paderborn Registergericht Paderborn HRB 3507 Gesch�ftsf�hrer: Eckard Heidloff (Vorsitzender), Stefan Auerbach, Dr. J�rgen Wunram Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Karl-Heinz Stiller Steuernummer: 339/5884/0020 - Ust-ID Nr.: DE812927716 - WEEE-Reg.-Nr.

Windows Services for Unix NFS Client
by John Legato 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Has anyone had any luck mounting a filer using Window's Services for UNIX NFS Client? I've tried mounting it with mount \\filer\vol\volume and run into a problem with mount not supporting multi directory paths. I get an error message stating "The network path can not be found" with the above mount. I tried accessing it in Windows explorer but it doesn't show up there. I know it can see the filer because I ran into trouble with it using non reserved ports and saw the message in the logs, I've since fixed that issue. Is there a work around for the multi directory path limitation? Thanks John -- Contractor

Re: volume deswizzling

I believe that you can set the wafl priority per volume ------Original Message------ From: Kappe, Michael Sender: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Sent: Jul 15, 2008 01:19 Subject: volume deswizzling Hello toasters, i have several volume deswizzling processes runing. This is ok, why i copy the volume with snapmirror from one aggr to another. This volume deswizzling processes now running for more than a month. Now the question: When i stop the deswizzling with "wafl scan abort", can i restart them one by one to finish them a bit faster? What is the command? Doing a reboot will restart deswizzling for all volumes. This is not an option ;-) Regards Michael Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

Anyone running it yet? Or is everyone scared since they yanked 7.2.5 :) "Data ONTAP(r) 7.2.5 Please be aware that we are investigating a couple of issues with quotas in Data ONTAP 7.2.5. As a precautionary measure, we have removed Data ONTAP 7.2.5 from the NOW site as we investigate the issues. We will provide an update as soon as more information is available." - Hadrian

I: Snapmanager Oracle for Windows schedule, how to?
by Milazzo Giacomo 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Nobody knows about SMO? J I can't believe it... Da: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] Per conto di Milazzo Giacomo Inviato: mercoledì 9 luglio 2008 10.04 A: NetApp Toasters List Oggetto: Snapmanager Oracle for Windows schedule, how to? Hi all Few days ago I had a chance to install (first time) a Snapmanager for Oracle 2.2 on a Windows 2K3 hosting Oracle 9.2 db instances. No great issues understanting repository and profile concepts or creating backup jobs both full or partial. The issues arrived when, also using the wizard I expected myself to have some items to create a procedure to be scheduled using the Windows scheduler, exactly as done lot of times with SMSQL or SME. I looked for docs or best practice to create some job and to schedule it with no luck. Also reading at command line options it seems quite complex to create and prepare some command rows and to put them in some batch to include in the scheduler. Another strange thing is that once created a backup job with its label you cannot reuse it and it has to be recreated from the beginning. Is there something like that also in SMO? Where is it? Or, alternatively, where I can find docs that can give me some sample to schedule/repeat and so on the job created with SMO? Thanks a lot
