howto document for initial volume architecting?
by Lori Barfield 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

we have the opportunity to build several filers from scratch for our LAN, which will serve all departments in the company, fileshare through Samba, host htdocs for the internal web site, etc. can someone please point me to a good document that offers guidelines for doing the rearchitecting? our architecture is currently flat- one volume per filer with the data only split up into separate directories. all hosts can mount all directories on all volumes if needed. we are overpowered so i'm not too concerned about performance. it does makes sense to have multiple volumes for varying snap schedules, for instance; however i'd like to learn more about what the trade-offs are because i do understand there is a storage penalty. the security paradigm is to depend on firewall protection on the perimeter and to have a relatively open internal network. backups will be snap mirrors to a sibling filer at our offsite colo, with an occasional archival to tape for some of the data. thanks in advance. ...lori

RE: snapmirroring over WAN
by Lai, Derek 10 Nov '05

Lori, Local initial snapmirror is a good idea whenever it's an option. I've setup DR to St. Louis first and now Plano, Texas and it's been very reliable. Snapmirroring is also pretty good at setting up a checkpoint re-start if it has problem getting through. I am also pretty confident that it knows how to handle overlapping snapmirror. I've seen it happen to us when there is networking problem. If it detects that a snapmirroring is still in progress it will not kick off the same snapmirror. Snapmirror has been really reliable. I've had lots more problem with the WAN. The only problem I've seen with Snapmirror is when you run out of disk space (We are using mostly qtree snapmirror).

SnapMirror will consume as much bandwidth as it can get. I have a DS3 between Minneapolis and Denver and SnapMirror will flood it 100% no matter if it's a full or incremental transfer. The only difference is how long it floods the pipe. There's two areas where you can change this. If you can set QOS on your VPN link between Filers IP addresses and set a reasonable bandwidth parameter, I would do that. Otherwise you can set in in Filerview when setting up the Snapmirror volume relationship under Maximum Transfer Rate. This can be tedious as you have to set it on each replicated volume. We set it on our Cisco router to run at 10 Mbit during the day and automatically jump to 40 Mbit after 10:00 PM. I replicate Exchange and SQL data daily with logs getting replicated every 2 hours. My delta changes are roughly 300 gigs per night and at 40 Mbits (the other 5 Mbits we reserve for AD replication and normal network traffic), it takes about 6 hours. SnapMirror also doesn't thread its transfers. It just blasts the pipe so if you can stagger your transfers you should get better throughput.

yeah but that initial transfer can be fun if you are mirroring a couple terabyte volumes or if the application is generating alot of changes. a DS3 wan link would be no problem but they may need to rate limit snapmirror on much smaller wan links. -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com on behalf of Brian Parent Sent: Thu 11/10/2005 9:08 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: snapmirroring over WAN If I recall correctly, snapmirror uses very little bandwidth, and shouldn't be a problem on any modern network.

Well, that all depends on how many changed blocks you expect in a day, as well as what kind of link you have, how busy the link is currently, what exact model of PIX or Sonicwall you have, and what the operating hours of the business are. Snapmirror does include a throttle, but if you throttle it too much, you'll be perpetually behind. And if you don't throttle it enough, it's about the same as not having one. It might be possible to do your snapmirror overnight, if it's acceptable to your client, and not throttle it at all. There are really a lot of options here. -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Lori Barfield Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 10:50 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: snapmirroring over WAN for offsite backups, we hope to snapmirror our new fas 3020 on a regular schedule via vpn over the internet to an older filer at our colo. obviously, intermittent latency is a concern since we don't have a dedicated link. and so is the potential for overpowering the modest firewall/network hardware currently in place. does anyone have a suggestion for how we might throttle the snapmirrors to improve reliability in the transmission? and how are you folks handling encryption for remote mirroring? we have a small pix, sonicwall, or cisco to choose from...i'm guessing we may have to try all three but i hope to pick the one most likely to succeed the first time. ...lori

High network traffic due to RPC Authoriztion (nfs mounts)
by Tavis Gustafson 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

We are seeing extremely high network traffic from single clients to nfs mounted filers. In most cases running nfswatch on the client shows almost all of the traffic due to "RPC Authorization". We are talking 50-80Mbits of traffic with nothing sticking out on the clients process list.

RE: samba acls and Re: howto document for initial volume architecting?
by Hirschorn, Steven 09 Nov '05

Hi Lori, Just thought I'd follow up about qtrees - we use just Windows and CIFS here generally, so I might be missing some subtlety about qtrees in a multiprotocol environment, but as I understand it, the one disadvantage of qtrees is that they can't be set up within Explorer. You need to use the console or Filerview. The advantages of Qtrees on the other hand: - You can apply tree quotas to them - You can do NDMP backups of a single Qtree, rather than an entire volume (I believe you can do this on a non-qtree subtree, but it's slower) - You can do NDMPCopies of a single qtree - You can use QTree Snapmirror on a Qtree - If you use DFM, it will monitor the QTrees for you and produce pretty graphs of the qtrees over time, so you can tell approximately where the data growth in your organisation is. The fact that most of our data is in QTrees is also aiding our migration to 7G as we can QSM all the data to new flexvols. We have one chunk of data outside of a qtree due to an oversight, and if it didn't consume such a large proportion of the volume, I'd have moved it to a qtree long ago. I've deliberately restricted access to the volume root shares to just my team and advised them never to create a root level folder without making it a qtree. I don't suppose anyone on the list can answer these questions? - Is there an easy way of changing a non qtree root level directory to a qtree? I'm guessing the only way is to NDMPCopy the data to a new qtree? - Is there any way of getting DFM to monitor subtree growth, as well as qtrees? I'm guessing again that DFM uses the filer's in-built quota monitoring to do the qtree size measurement, and so there isn't any flexibility here?

Symlink/automount/widelink question
by Shawn Stephens 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

I'm looking to find a way to solve absolute symlinks created on a NFS automount and their resolution in CIFS. I'm looking at the docs for Widelinks in Data ONTAP, and I can see where this could come in useful, but only if it somehow knows about all of the UNIX automount maps in an environment. What I'm thinking is a script (perl) that would create a symlink.translations and cifsconfig_shares.cfg configuration based off of an automount map (or multiple automount maps). Has anybody seen something like this? So it's output would generate something like: automount map: auto.foo data1 filer1:/vol/vol1/data1 data2 filer2:/vol/vol2/data2 autofs: User creates a symlink in their homedir to /foo/data1 and /foo/data2: /home/user> ln -s /foo/data1 data1 /home/user> ln -s /foo/data2 data2 cifsconfig_share.cfg on filer1: cifs shares -add -widelink -vscan "foo_data1" "/vol/vol1/data1" cifsconfig_share.cfg on filer2: cifs shares -add - widelink -vscan "foo_data2" "/vol/vol2/data2" symlink.translations: Widelink /foo/data1/* \\filer1\foo_data1\* Widelink /foo/data2/* \\filer2\foo_data2\* Thoughts: 1) Of course we would trust the automount maps! 2) All clients would have DFS support. 3) Hopefully, we don't do anything that would cause issues with share boundary checking. 4) Hopefully, we don't have issues with any special characters, etc. that are in the automount maps (we'll have to get rid of & wildcards). 4) We would be able to run this configuration on a change in the automount maps (perhaps in cron?) If you've made it this far in my wandering and actually understand what's going on here, do you have any more thoughts? If so, please reply to me, and I will post a SUMMARY once I have an idea of what this will entail.

Dswrench.com announces a new debugging tool for the "DS4000 storage server (Engenio based disk storage array)." We are proud to introduce the DS4000 Management Protocol Analyzer, or DSMPA. DSMPA is freeware built by engineers for engineers, so we encourage you to use often and spread the word! What it does: DSPMA captures management network traffic between SANtricity or other management software and disk storage arrays. It assembles network packets into DS4000 management objects. The captured objects can be viewed graphically and played back. It is a powerful tool for DS4000 storage server support center, storage administrators, storage management software developers and quality assurance engineers. To view sample shots of DSMPA capabilities, click the following links: -To access the User guide, please click http://www.dswrench.com/documents/dsmpa.pdf. -To access the DSMPA main screen, please click http://www.dswrench.com/documents/CaptureAndView.html -DSMPA can save a communication session to html file. To view a sample session output, please click http://www.dswrench.com/documents/session_sample.html. -DSMPA also captures SANtricity generated network traffic. This page (http://www.dswrench.com/documents/snmp_sample.html) shows captured SNMP trap fired by the SANtricity management software. How to get it: DSMPA is now available for free download from http://www.dswrench.com For more information, please visit http://www.dswrench.com. Thank you for taking a few minutes to improve the operation of your DS4000 storage server. Please visit dswrench.com often for updates and new software. Use often and spread the word!

NuView vs Rainfinity
by drew.odonnell＠americas.bnpparibas.com 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

We are currently evaluating NuView and Rainfinity for their ability to use a global name space through use of AD and DFS. We have the need to virtualize shares from 1 server to multiple filers. NuView seems to be the ticket, however Rainfinity seems to be fairly similar. Any positive or negative feedback would be appreciated.

Auto Creation of Windows Share
by Scott, Tom E 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

List, I think I lost the part of my mind that this information stored in it. But what is the syntax, from a Win2k3 server, to create a Windows share on a F810 filer. Basically I want to automate the creation of Users to include their home directory on the file. I can easily automate creating the directory on the filer, but what about the share? Currently we do it via Filer view or use Manage from My Computer. Thanks in advance.

NTFS Permissions Collection and Reporting Tool
by Crawford, Mark (CBC) 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Hello, Is anyone aware of a product that will collect and report on NTFS permissions? Our company uses a product known as Aelita by Quest Software. When we implemented our NetApp filers, Aelita could no longer collect and report on the NTFS permissions of the CIFS shares. We had developed an in-house solution as temporary stop-gap. But that has outlived its potential. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can CIFS set ctime to arbitrary value?
by Steve Losen 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

We have a FAS3050 CF pair for home directory access via both NFS and CIFS. We use unix style file security throughout. We are running DOT 7.0.1R1. We have discovered a directory with files apparently created via CIFS where the ctimes are almost two months in the future (Dec 30, 2005). I am pretty sure that there is no way to muck with ctime via NFS. You can only set atime and mtime to arbitrary values and I think that the filer sets ctime based on its own clock. Does CIFS work differently? Can you set ctime to something arbitrary with CIFS? Is there an option to prevent this? We have some home grown backup software that access the filers via NFS that uses mtime and ctime to decide what files need to be backed up. If CIFS can set ctime arbitrarily, then our incremental dumps may be skipping files that should really be backed up.
