Re: Linux / NetApp / Oracle question
by Geoff Hardin 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

I've had several people ask for more details about the configuration: Network: 100 Mb switched network full duplex Filer: F760C with ONTAP 6.4.1 Database Server: RHEL Kernel 2.4.21-9.EL 1 GB of RAM; (we're trying to get that increased because we have seen some swapping going on) 1 Intel 2.4 GHz Xeon processor Mount options: rw,fg,hard,nointr,retrans=2,tcp,vers=3,timeo=600 We are using NFS over TCP by the recommendation of NetApp and because we saw data corruption when we were using NFS over UDP. I am looking into some of the mount options for Linux; one document says to turn noac off, another says to turn it on. I haven't seen any reference to a forcedirectio option, and I know that asynch I/O is not supported in NFS for Linux (yet?). If you have any other questions, let me know and I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks to everyone who has responded so far!

Linux / NetApp / Oracle question
by Geoff Hardin 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Hey Toasters, I have a situation that has come up where we are testing Oracle 9i on a 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon system with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 as the operating system. The database itself resides on a NetApp filer. We have run through the normal problems, switching to NFS over TCP rather than UDP, no asynch I/O, not as much like Solaris as we expected, but now we're still not seeing the level of performance that we had expected. Our test database run on a Sun 280R takes about 2 hours; the same test run on our Linux system takes about 2:40. Definitely not the results we had expected. I was just wondering if anyone out there has done something similar and has any tuning recommendations. Oracle tells us that it should work fine on Linux, and we know our other databases work fine running off filers, so that leaves us with a solution that should work, but doesn't. Any recommendations, white papers, or RTFM (as long as you indicate which manual), would be greatly appreciated.

I am a private financial consultant. I am the personal financial / business consultant to a foreigner who worked and died in U.K. without any will. I got your email address while searching for trustworthy individual personality that can collaborate with me in this matter of crucial mutual benefits. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim this money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased. Unfortunately, we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relations died alongside with him in the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you, and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the Bank Treasury as unclaimed asset or used for purchase of weapons of mass distruction etc etc. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and it would not be proper for a CITIZEN OF THE UNITED KINGDOM to stand in as next of kin to a foreigner. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin. I have all necessary documents to back up claims as Next of Kin on your behalf. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I will also instruct you on how you on how you can get paid through the corresponding bank in America, Europe or Asia as this will be Easier for us all. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email my contact details. At this point in time I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as all required arrangements has been put in place. For the avoidance of doubt I can send you my international passport if you want it and I expect that you will reciprocate the gesture by sending me yours too. Please get in touch with me by email to enable us discuss further. Kindly reply to my private mailbox: jmbolton1998(a)yahoo.co.uk Yours Truly, J. M. Bolton

vFilers: "dr configure" to tape and other oddities
by Hill, Aaron 03 Mar '04

03 Mar '04

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I borrow your filer talents for a moment? I am trying to figure out how to do a "vfiler dr configure" to tape. i.e. Setup the mirrored DR vFilers by doing the initial snapmirror to tape. NOTE: This is distinctly different to snapmirroring a volume to tape. At the moment, I cannot see how it can be done using the standard Multistore DR configuration methodology and command set. Is it possible to snapmirror to tape as per normal, restore the tape to the DR "physical" filer volumes and then do the "vfiler dr configure". In this way I have completed the snapmirror portion of the vfiler dr configuration whilst the standard method takes care of the rest. The major obstacle I can see here is that the source qtree names cannot pre-exist on the target volumes. If network-initialization is the only option, can I throttle the initial snapmirror transfer kicked off by the "vfiler dr configure" command? i.e. Will there be volume or qtree entries in the /etc/snapmirror.conf of the physical filer that I can edit with the -k/kb throttling option? Will this option allow me to significantly reduce the snapmirror WAN traffic whilst initializing the DR vfiler(s)? Can I # (hash) out some of the volumes so that only 1 or 2 actively transfer across the line? All designs will be welcomed and considered carefully.

snap list output --- how do I work out the size of an individual snapshot ?...
by Munn, Stuart SITI-ITDIEES 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

Hope you can help... I've read TIP 218 on the now.netapp web site... But it is not very clear on how the %used column is calculated. When it says the calculation is carried out like below this snapshop ------------------- x 100 Total disk space in the system Is the "Total disk space in the system" the 1) Total disk space in the volume(inc snapshot reserve)... or 2) total disk space in the snapshot reserve ... or 3) total disk space in the volume after snapshot reserve is taken ! I think this is a VERY counter intuitive method of displaying space used .... Thanks Stuart Munn

NASDAQ TIMER - New Trading Range For TRHL, Tue, 02 Mar 2004 10:00:30 -0500
by Jaclyn Talbot 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

Tue, 02 Mar 2004 10:00:30 -0500 MARKET-TORQUE - The European Unions Premier U.S. NASDAQ Timer...Dateline 3-02-04 New trading range (as of 3/02/04): Target-- 1.74 - True Health. Inc. (OTCBB: TRHL) Monday, after the close, the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) Oscillator rose above its signal line indicating a trend reversal. Never before in this stocks history have the lines crossed this early. This means a huge reversal and strong up-trend. The stock is now headed upward. This time it indicates 1.74. This is exactly what happened in late November, three months ago when the stock ran from 0.69 to 1.48 in less than a month. The stock is in position for a higher high and a higher low. The volume is very high. Also, TRHL just started again an unusual trading pattern. Large blocks of shares are being bought. Is this because the earnings are due shortly? Read on. EARNINGS REPORT New financials are due out very soon (looking for two weeks) - the stock has started to climb back toward its recent high. TRHL has had seven consecutive quarters of revenue growth. Last quarter, revenues were up 385% and 329% for the three and nine month periods, respectively. The July 31, 2003 quarter revenues were up 412%. But this is what we are looking at. Back in November TRHL started moving up approximately two weeks before its quarterly financial report. We are now approximately two weeks away from its next report, and according to the MACD Oscillator the stock has just started back on an up-trend. If you get in now, theres a chance of 100 percent profit in less than a month. True Health did not distribute this report and has no knowledge of its distribution.

you are right : ) in theory, widelinks could be greatly used to transparently make a user mount /vol/vol0/a_dir to /vol/vol1/another_dir but - widelinks is resered for cifs - and there is some problem to make them work as the documentation explain it I only succed in with using the /etc/symlink.translation file also, some related bug has been corrected in earlier version, so one should keep in mind widelinks are not always working great and should open a case with Netapp in order to make them work the way you want Carolyn S.

We've always been told fairly explicitly by NetApp that this will not work. And have never tried it, for risk of ending up in an unstable or inconsistent state.

We've picked up a NetApp F760 and have had no problems with the system. Recently we've tried adding more disks to the system, but seem to be hitting a limit. The config looks like 14x72GB disks (FC9 BCS) 14x144GB disks (DS14) This takes us to the maximum of the F760, 3TB, but we can only seem to add 14x72GB disks (1 72GB for spare, 2 RAID groups) 8x144GB disks (1 144GB for spare, 1 RAID group) These disks are all in one volume, /vol/vol0, but we can't seem to add any of the additional 5 144GB disks to the volume. When we try to add the disks the system tells us it can't do this. From what I've read we should simply need to indicate how many disks we want to add to the volume (ie 5) and it should create a new RAID group if needed. In this case our RAIDGROUP size is set to 8, so it should create the new RAIDGROUP. But this isn't happening. We're running DoT 6.4R1. Have we hit the maximum filesystem size for the F760? I'm not sure what the limit is. We're well within the 56 disks/loop limit. Any help would be appreciated. If we have hit a filesystem size, then we'll probable have to create a new volume (which we'd prefer not to do). However, if we do have to do this, any suggestions on how to make the new volume appear to simply look like part of the other exported filesystem? Cheers, SMB _____ Do you Yahoo!?

Hi There is an RFE (Request for Enhancement) to allow you to use the /etc/hosts.equiv for this in a similar way to what is possible on the filer; it is not currently scheduled.

RE: Oracle on CIFS?
by Jeff Asher 26 Feb '04

You will probably also want to modify the host registry so that the Oracle services are dependant on and start after the lanmanworkstation service. Without those edits the oracle services may fail to start on reboot because they can't access the remote shares.

RE: Oracle on CIFS?

Don't get me wrong. ISCSI is great, and I have have outstanding success with it. I will say that ISCSI is a protocol like CIFS so the Application may need a dependency on it should you have spanning tree on your Switch ( ~30 second network negotiation prior to port activation. If you are not needing it, then portfast enable off that option and then the port will be online asap. As for the ISCSI driver, as long as the NIC is online quickly, we rarely see any issues with the Oracle services in the same light as you mention the CIFS. Good luck with it, and you can ask more specifics off list if you like.

I think iSCSI has the specific following advantage : as the lun on the Filer is saw like a local drive, the Oracle service can start to work with earlier in the boot process of the Windows machine Oracle doesn't have to wait for the network and mapped drive to be up to work with these data this way you can move more Oracle data on the Filer (except the registry entry, all Oracle files can be migrated there - binaries, conf, redo log, datafiles etc...). This way, the Desaster Recovery procedure becomes much simplier. I am not sure 100% so tell me if I am wrong. Borders, Rich wrote: Keep in mind the space limitations of LUN's.
