Hi Chris Lamb wrote: > Not to pick on you, Graeme, but I just cannot believe > that almost TEN YEARS LATER that this belief that "NFS > is bad for mailboxes" persists. OK, I'll add the caveat that in _my experience_, NFS is bad for mbox or other file-based mailbox formats in situations where there are multiple NFS clients (read: SMTP, IMAP and POP servers in a load-balanced farm) doing simultaneous delivery and client reads via IMAP4 or POP3. To expand a little, I've personally never deployed a single production mailbox on an NFS backend where there weren't multiple frontends in use! > We solved it a decade ago, folks... true, NFS locking > has never been easy or pretty, but with care it could work. > Perhaps with NFS v4's locking support people will finally > start to reevaluate those old NFS prejudices?

Toasterview v0.2
by Ben Rockwood 11 Dec '04

11 Dec '04

Hey All. Several people asked me to report to the list when I released ToasterView 0.2, and here it is. You can download it and see a demo page here: http://www.cuddletech.com/code/toasterview/index.html (There is also a nifty image of it on the frontpage of cuddletech.com right now) I'm open to any requests or contributions to the code base. It's a pretty nifty tool. The new version adds an expansion module that leverages RRDtool to graph and chart the growth of volumes over time (1 hour, 6 hours, 1 day, 1 week, etc). It's a handy way to keep an eye on just how much is really changing and also can report when more change occurs in a given time period (namely 1 hour) than is sane. As always it's GPL so pass it around. :) benr.

Hi all First off, a small introduction: I'm the Hosting Development Engineer for PIPEX Hosting in the UK. I have a small interest (depending how you look at size!) in NetApp kit, in that we're running them for a number of different applications.

DR for exchange 5.5
by SKIP HOFMANN 10 Dec '04

10 Dec '04

Hello all We are going through DR scenario for our exchange 5.5 server. The domain is NT, our DB and logs our on a FAS 250 on separate Vol, and we are running snap manager and netapp drive version 1.1 to create the snapshots and also setup the drive mappings to the filer so we can mount the database. My questions are #1 if the exchange 5.5 server has a hardware problem or an OS problem, what steps must we take to bring up a new exchange 5.5 server, and then point all the clients to the exchange box? If we bring up a new exchange box, do we have to give this server the same name as the old exchange box?

Oracle Volumes
by rkb 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

Had a meeting yestarday with my DBA team. We were discussing going to production with RAC boxes. They want to distribute Oracle across 3 volumes, Data, Redo, Archive. They prefer small volumes in the neighborhood of 100 Gig espeically for the Data Vols since we own SnapRestore. We'll only put one Oracle DB on a data Volume. Surely though we won't need 100 Gig especially since we are stripping the Redo and Archive logs out of there. I have all 72 Gig drives and warned that a 2 or 3 drive Volume is probably too small a number of disks. We are not at 6.5 (yet) so we didn't discuss Double Parity but its certainly on my agenda. So I'm counting on 2 parity drives when we get there. So minimally they want a 3 disk volume for (2 parity drives) for Oracle. What say you all? Would you, are you putting the hot writing Redo logs on a volume with other stuff? How is contention for that Volume? I told them "think differently about NetApp". Its not JBOD... I told them to think about that 128 MB (we have a FAS940) cache as "your disk" and not to worry about how NetApp flushes those writes out to disk. Think large volumes not smaller ones. Does Data Fabric Mgr. help identify "hot disks"? Statit? TIA -Bob Borowicz

RE: Oracle Volumes

Hi Bob, Go for enough spindles. So go for large volumes and a lot of spindles. You can separate logs and data because the have a totally different behaviour, depending on the I/O load of that DB). Ontap 7g will solve your problem (you can give them small volumes and you can use a lot of spindles in your aggregate. But it's maybe to soon to go to 7g. This depends on your upgrade strategy and the risk that you want to take. DFM can indeed identify your hotspots. We use that, but we also use statit (with a shedulded task (rsh script) and put the results in our management system).

Associate

08 Dec '04

Dear Friend, I pray this email meet you in soundness of body and spirit. Am in search of a competent associate oversea who will carefully act as my front before I summit my financial report for the 4th quarter of the financial fiscal year 2004 to the board of directors of my bank. Am Michael John, , Regional Treasury Manager of HSBC. However ,am contacting you based on your reputation, and country of origin that will be attached to this project. As the MD of my branch ,I realized that $28million is not recorded by the auditor general in his compiled files. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating this money by filing for an affidavit of claim for it in accordance with the operational measures of HSBC in clearing a dormant account before I will summit my financial report for the 4th quarter for the financial fiscal 2004 to our firm board of directors in other for the funds not to be recorded in the report. HSBC guidelines stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed for over a period of 3 years with the account unserviceable (DORMANT) the money will be confiscated and this will happen in the next few weeks into the 4th quarter of the financial fiscal year 2004 if nobody comes for the deposited consignment. As you can tell that we are in the last quater of the financial fiscal year 2004. I now seek your consent to act as my front based on your country of origin, so that this consignment valued at US$28 million dollars can be paid to you as the beneficiary as I have secured from the probate by the virtue of my desk as the regional manager to approve of such affidavit of claim. And its base on my position that I am taking due advantage of to have the funds cleared by a foreign associate to act as the beneficiary of the $28million and then we can split the sum in ratio 70% for me to 30% for you. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law as the regional MD of HSBC. The underline course of my action is due to my retirement plan next year, and the firm holds no brighter future for me, and am a father of 5,hope you wont conceive the wrong thought of I not been loyal to my firm. For equity is not for the indolent ,but for the vigilant. Upon your response I will give you further information inclusive of our bank WebPage and with the needed documents that will present you as the beneficiary of the funds and I working from the inside will approve you as the beneficiary to the funds. With a longing grace ,looking forward to working with you. Michael John HSBC Regional Treasury Manager London Branch. NB Note that the onus of approving the funds rest on my desk and its on this edge that the transaction got the uniqueness of realization. ------------------------------------------ Este mensaje fue enviado usando ZONAiMail.

Dear Friend
by bellindad＠gemari.or.id 06 Dec '04

06 Dec '04

Hello Friend, I wrote this letter as confidential one to you, please kindly read it carefully and send a reply to me. My name is Mrs Bellinda Katumura, former director of finance in the campaign team of Ex. President D Ratsiraka, of Republic of Madagascar, an island in the Indian ocean. I worked with him for years until he was ousted with violent protest by the opposition, and he went into exile in France. This protest erupted during the election period, it was bloody that several people died including my husband. Since the opposition took power in Feb 2001, many of us who served in the regime of the former president have been subjected to several intimidation and detentions, as am writing you now we have not totally regained our freedom. I have one thing that disturbs me. In the last days of the ex-president he took all the monies for the election along with him to exile. The one in my custody was properly hidden by myself, and I told him (the ex president) that it was gutted by fire in my office set by mobs of the opposition. Truely the office was razed down beyond recognition by fire, it is a fact he knows therefore no questions to answer. Immediately he left and the tensed atmophere beclouding our nation there was rush of foreign nationals leaving our country with their families and belongings for safety, under that cover I was able to send out the amount left in my custody to a country in europe through cargo, the consignment was disguised as personal effect. The amount involved is ( $16,000,000=) sixteen million dollars cash. I have contacted the company and they aknowledge receipt of the consignment they have also informed me to come forward for collection. I did not inform them that my freedom in my country is not total. I am not permitted yet to travel out of my country. I need somebody, who understands my situation to travel to the country in europe where the consignment was sent, with the informations I will pass on to him, to stand as my partner/beneficiary and took delivery of the consignment and lodge it into his account for safety. I write this letter to you, to seek your assistance in this issue, we shall discuss other informations as soon as you declare interest to assist me. All required information will be passed to you including the company name and the name of the country where the consignment is. If you have any question pls ask me. Expecting your reply soonest. Also treat as Highly Confidential. Yours Truely. Mrs. Bellinda Katumura. Antananarivo.

RE: OSSV SnapVault
by Garavito, Donald, CTR, OSD-ATL 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

There is a semi-hidden para at the end of the SnapVault Deployment and Configuration Tech Report TR-3240 addressing databases (quoted below). This addresses what to do after you have already created the initialized base 0 transfer. We are testing this now using Solaris/Oracle/R150. Don ============================================================================ ==================== 4.5. Special Case: Databases and Application Server Backups Simply scheduling a Snapshot on a database volume may not create a safe, consistent image of the database. Most databases can be backed up while they continue to run and provide service, but must first be put into a special hot backup mode. Other databases need to be quiesced (which means that they momentarily stop providing service) and some need to be shut down completely, enabling a cold backup. In any of these cases, you must take certain actions before and after the Snapshot is created on the database volume. Since these are the same steps you should take for any other backup method, your database administrators probably already have scripts that perform these functions. While one could set up SnapVault Snapshot schedules on such a volume and simply coordinate the appropriate database actions by synchronizing the clocks on the filer and database server, it is easier to detect potential problems if the database backup script creates the Snapshots using the snapvault snap create command. In this example, we want to take a consistent image of the database every four hours, keeping the most recent day's worth of Snapshots (six copies), and we want to retain one version per day for a week. On the SnapVault secondary, we will keep even more versions. The first step is to tell SnapVault the names of the Snapshots to use and how many Snapshots to keep. No schedule should be specified because all Snapshot creations will be controlled by the database backup script. * toaster> snapvault snap sched oracle sv_hourly 5@- This schedule takes a Snapshot called sv_hourly, and retains the most recent six copies, but does not specify when to take the Snapshots. * toaster> snapvault snap sched oracle sv_daily 1@- This schedule takes a Snapshot called sv_daily, and retains only the most recent copy. It does not specify when to take the Snapshot. * toaster> snapvault snap sched oracle sv_weekly 1@- This schedule takes a Snapshot called sv_weekly, and retains only the most recent copy. It does not specify when to take the Snapshot. Once this has been done, you must write the database backup script. In most cases, it will have the following structure: [ first commands to put the database into backup mode ] rsh toaster snapvault snap create oracle sv_hourly [ end with commands to take the database out of backup mode ] You would then use a scheduling application (such as cron on UNIX(r) systems or the Windows Task Scheduler program) to take an sv_hourly Snapshot each day at every hour other than at 11 p.m. A single sv_daily Snapshot would be taken each day at 11 p.m., except on Sunday evenings when an sv_weekly Snapshot would be taken instead. In most cases, it is entirely practical to run such a database backup script every hour because the database only needs to be in backup mode for a few seconds while the script creates the Snapshot. ============================================================================ ====================== -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Sto Rage(c) Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 8:48 PM To: Alec Devroey Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: OSSV SnapVault We have been using OSSV for a while for both Windows and Unix, but not for any Databases yet.

RE: Simulation jobs peaking filer CPU & CP
by Frank P 01 Dec '04

Sounds like the NFS ops your LSF cluster generate may simply be overloading your 960 ... Have you tried any filers other than the 960? The 980 filer has SPEC sfs numbers more than 40% faster than the 960. If you really need high-performance try a filer even faster than a 980. On Spec.org you'll find the Spec numbers for the Titan filer, which delivers more than twice the spec. ops of a 960 filer and is almost 40% faster than a 980. That would probably help handle any LSF cluster load for a while. http://www.spec.org/sfs97r1/results/sfs97r1.html Published Spec results - single head 960 25135 980 36063 Titan 50858 Published Cluster Spec. results 960c 48143 980c 68139 Titanc 101571 http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release_html_b1?release_id=75166 If you don't get a faster filer, the other option is to break-up the jobs into smaller parts.

RE: Simulation jobs peaking filer CPU & CP

80K is a lot of NFS ops to say the least. I wasn't awareYou may be at the limits of the device, but we won't know for sure until we see a few statistics. Questions; What is disk utilization during this period? I assume your sysstat is indicating at least one disk is at 100% What size raid groups do you have on your volumes? Please capture a statit output? Rsh <filer> "priv set advanced;statit -b" , leave for a period while the utilization is known to be high. Rsh <filer> "priv set advanced;statit -e" > output.log (capturing output to a file). Let have a look at that output and see if you are bound on one or a few disks in a raid group, or whether you are just asking too much of the filer. There are a few other things in the statit that will be useful. You may have to look at splitting the workload across volumes or even into other filers. --Aaron -----Original Message----- From: cisco joe [mailto:ciscojoe305@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, 30 November 2004 2:45 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Simulation jobs peaking filer CPU & CP All, We have some issues with LSF simulation jobs writing to filers(FAS960) ..

All, We have some issues with LSF simulation jobs writing to filers(FAS960) .. Filer's CPU peaking to 100% and NFS goes beyond 80K and CP back to back happening when users executes LSF regress simulations jobs...These jobs has heavy writes to filer and even read also high.. Because of this huge writes filer is going to hung state where simple ls or df from NFS is hanging ..Even telnet or rsh to filer will take long time ... If anybody has any workaround pls let me know Any suggestions is highly helpful Thanks Joe __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you!
