RE: Trend AV with Filers
by Mike Sphar 23 Jul '04

23 Jul '04

Only doing scheduled scans would leave you with a significant risk of infection with the rate that viruses spread today. Plus, on a large filer, a complete file-by-file scan might take hours if not days...that's a long window of opportunity for viruses to infect files and other clients to pick them up. And you're right, the viruses don't know how to infect the filer per se. The reason you want the virus scanning is to prevent other infected machines from infecting files on the filer. In other words, virus scans your network, find the file share, and infects every doc and exe file it finds on the filer, possibly thousands of infected files or more in a very short time. Now, your filer is full of infected files. Some other client, with no a/v or an insufficiently-updated a/v definition reads those files and gets infected itself, spreading the infection further. Before integrated a/v was available for the filers, we did the best we could with daily virus scans, which took several hours. Even with that, the day I made the integrated a/v active, it immediately started catching and cleaning hundreds of infected files. -- Mike Sphar - Sr Systems Administrator - Remedy, a BMC Software Company -----Original Message----- From: SKIP HOFMANN [mailto:SKIP.HOFMANN@ttisg.com] Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 5:04 PM To: 'Bui, Marcus'; 'Palmer, Jason (EMEA) '; 'owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com '; ''toasters(a)mathworks.com' ' Subject: RE: Trend AV with Filers We are using Trend AV for our FAS 250 and R200.

RE: DFM 3.0 issues

Hi Aaron, we also have SNMP Problems since we are using Ontap 6.5.1x. Problem is, that qtrees were not listed in our perl-coded filermonitor. Some qtrees on some of our filer were not listed over snmp-queries. - but Ontap command "quota report" works for all qtrees. Looks like its not a DFM Problem, but an(other) Ontap Problem. Please can you tell, if you know something new on that problem Another hint: DFM 3.0 and Ontap65-versions smaller than 6.5.1R1P8 lead to timeouts, because of an SNMP Bug in Ontap.

Oracle on Filers
by Robert Borowicz 19 Jul '04

19 Jul '04

I may be asking the obvious here but who dedicates their Oracle->Filer traffic to just *one* Filer? IE: That Filer *ONLY* handles Oracle->NFS->Filer traffic. Our CIFS traffic has grown significantly since we bought our FAS940 and I'm now dubious about mixing CIFS/Desktop services with Enterprise critical Oracle services. Currently we have a few small DB's (read-only) on the Filer but are moving to step things up over the next year with Regards to Oracle. (we are looking at RAC). So: Would ALAWYS or SOMETIMES or NEVER mix Oracle and Desktop Filer services on one filer? :-) -Bob B.

RE: Oracle on Filers

Bob, It really depends on how much Oracle and CIFS traffic you have. That being said, the FAS940 is a very capable filer. On one of the FAS940C cluster we are serving Oracle on NFS for over 1200 users and also serving CIFS traffic for about that many users without any problem. The main issue for Oracle is the number of disk that you are using. Our Oracle database is sitting on 2 dedicated volumes of 13 drives each and we might be adding more disks there to help with the performance. You really need to collect detail statistics to help decide things like that.

RE: DFM database transfer

Hi G, In your question, you didn't specify NFS or CIFS. Since I am *much* more comfortable with NFS, I wrote my answer in those terms, and hand waved outside of my comfort zone. In the case of windows, you are correct - you should use UNC paths. You'll also have to tell DFM the name of a CIFS account/password that can be used by the host agent to access the shares. This can be done on a per host agent basis from the Edit Agent Logins page (SRM tab -> Edit Agent Logins) or using a global default (go to the DFM options page, look under Host Agent Options, and configure the Host Agent CIFS Account and the Host Agent CIFS Password). If this doesn't help you, I would recommend that you work through your normal support channel, so that you can get feedback from folks that are more familiar with this specific DFM feature.

Simple Concise Filer Monitoring
by Ben Rockwood 16 Jul '04

16 Jul '04

Has anyone created a simple and readable web monitoring application for Filers? Sure there's Cricket, MRTG, and RRDtool, but I'd like something alittle more tidy for quick glances. I'd love something like phpSysInfo: http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/ It seems like leveraging PHP or PERL CGI, with alittle RRD possiblably tossed in we could have a tool vastly superior to the aging "Filer At-A-Glance", which relies on Java (yuck) and doesn't supply everything in one nice page. Has anyone done something like this or feel it's a worthwhile cause? benr.

Hi G, To get SRM information from DFM about files kept on a filer, you put the host agent on a system that is mounting the filesystem(s) from the filer that you are interested in (do the corresponding thing for the CIFS share case).

Has anyone rebuilt the DFM database? We're running the same SQL Anywhere DB since DFM was in beta. Performance seems to be slow, the DB is like 500MB and we are getting messages like this when we startup: I. 03/31 20:12:34. Page size too small for this database I. 03/31 20:12:34. Database was created with older software and may benefit from being rebuilt We're getting ready to upgrade to 3.0 and want to know if we can alleviate these messages and improve performance by rebuilding the DB. Otherwise we may start a fresh, new DFM instance and leave the old one online for legacy data reporting. - Jeff ________________________________ From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of markallen(a)micron.com Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 1:38 PM To: paul.brubaker(a)attws.com; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: DFM database transfer I haven't had any problems with doing this.

The compelling reasons for 10g are: -Low two-node introductory RAC pricing -Much easier performance tuning -Much improved RMAN implementation -A variety of handy-dandy tools that weren't around in 9i On the flip side, 10g RAC is much more unstable than its 9i counterpart.

RE: Implementing ISCSI

Hi Jack, A lun is for WAFL just a file, so the snapshot is similar as by a file and is a part of the volume. We have always a separate NIC for our I-scsi traffic. On the filer and also on the server (we use I-SCSI for our SQL servers (PeopleSoft and others applications) and our exchange servers). When you use the same NIC for all your traffic, on havy load, you can get some delays. This is important when you have a high IO application and response time is very important.
