IPSec on OnTap 6.4
by Garrett Burke 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

Hi, Was wondering if anyone has tried using the IPSec support in OnTap 6.4, either with or without the accelerator module? What sort of throughput are you getting with a particular filer/client spec and what sort of CPU load is the filer experiencing? thanks, GB ---- Garrett Burke, Service Implementation & Support Manager, Eircomnet. http://www.eircom.net

migrate to W2K AD
by Bui, Marcus 24 Nov '03

24 Nov '03

Hello Toasters, I'm preparing to migrate a couple of Filers from NT4 Domain to W2K AD. Want get input for any 'gotchas' I need to prepare for and a few questions I have. Questions: 1. Can you move back to the original NT4 Domain after migrating to W2K AD? Just in case there is are issues I need to backout and go back to original state. 2. Do I need to migrate both Filer in the cluster at the same time? I don't think so but just want to confirm. 3. Anyone ran across these bugs: 70049 <http://now.netapp.com/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=70049> (especially this one), 96015 <http://now.netapp.com/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=96015> , 99187 <http://now.netapp.com/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=99187> ? Here, roaming profile is enabled and the profile is copied back to the Filer. Environment: - F880c, ONTAP 6.4.1, CIFS only - W2K mixed mode - LAN ID stays the same - clients in NT4 Domain and AD Domain thanks, Marcus Bui ----------------------------------------- Confidentiality Note: The information contained in this message, and any attachments, may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Dear Friend, It is my pleasure to write you this confidential letter irrespective of the fact that we have not met. Very strong recommendation was made about you by a friend of mine who works with Liberia High Commission in Monrovia as a straightforward and honest businesssman. Though I did not disclose to him my proposals all I demanded from him was to link me with very trustworthy foreign business man or woman I can trust. My name is Fredrick Taylor, the junior brother to President Charles Taylor of the Country Liberia. Please I humbly beg you from the bottom of my heart to treat this confidential letter very secret. The rebel forces and the intense pressure from United States, United Nation,International Community and West Africa Peace Keeping force ?Ecomog? had finally toppled my brother government and now he is on exile with his immediate family but I am still behind. Please listen to me very carefully. Under my custody are boxes containing $25m. If the new government in place sees or discovers the fund they will take the money and plunder it. I have secretly hidden the boxes containing the fund and I will move the boxes of fund to you for safe keeping to any address of your choice through Diplomatic Courier Service or a reputable security company tagged Diplomatic Luggage with your name as the beneficiary. Furthermore, when the boxes get to you in 7 days, you notify me immediately so that I will come to your country to divide the fund. It shall be divided 70% for me and 30% for you period. My own share will be used for investment in your country. Therefore i beg to start looking around for me a lucrative wealth creating ,profit generating business investment opportunities . If you agree and to be an honest person for this transaction,reply me through this email address. It is very urgent. Best Regards, Frederick Taylor

DEAR, My name is Tom Appiah, 41 years Liberian Married with Five Children. I worked as an Administration Secretary to the late Minister of Commerce and trade under the regime of President Charles Taylor who is presently in Nigeria on asylum. My late boss who not only was my boss but also handled Me as his own brother, was killed by President Charles Taylor after he was accused of trying to overthrow his Government early this year.Immediately after my boss death, I ran for my dear Life with my wife and children to a nearby country Ghana with my late boss official briefcase where he kept most Of his confidential Documents. While I was going through some of his confidential Documents, I saw a deposit Form proving that he Deposited a consignment in a Security Company in the Ghana where I was taking refuge.I then kept on opening other letters in the bag to Know if I could know exactly the content of the Deposited consignment. As luck will have it I ran into a big envelope containing details of the deposit made in the Security Company and the content of the consignment. From the Personal letter I saw, he stated that he told the Security Company that the consignment that he Deposited contained Family Treasure. But the true Content of the consignment was Thirty One Million United States Dollars, ($31,000,000.00).He also told the management of the Security Company That the Consignment belonged to his foreign partner.As luck will still have it, the very name of this his Very foreign partner was not stated, this makes easy For any person to come forward as his Foreign Partner. I have gone to trace this very Security Company in Ghana with their address, and I have found it. The Problem I have now is that I can not claim that Consignment because I am not a foreigner, my boss Stated that the consignment belong to his Foreign Partner. Please dear, if you will be able to help me claim this Consignment, try to indicate by sending me your Full Name, Personal e-mail, telephone and Fax numbers where I can Easily communicate with you. Even if you decide not help, try to keep it to your Self-alone please. For you to help me claim this Consignment, I will be giving you 30% of the total Amount in the consignment, 10% will be mapped out for Any expenses that may occur in the course of the Release of the consignment to you. I will keep 40% to Myself and then the balance of 20% will be sent to the Family of my late boss. I hope you will not be worried how I got your Contact. I got it while I was chatting on the Internet.I decided to contact you believing that by the grace Of God that you will help. I will also be personally going to the Security Company with you when ever the consignment will be Release to you.This my mail address barristertomappiah(a)yahoo.co.uk I look forward to your urgent reply.

URGENT NEED. I am Henry Winndu, an Aide of Ex President Charles Taylor. As you may know he has recently stepped down from power and is presently in asylum in Calabar. The purpose of my letter is to ask if you can render the assistance requested and to bring to bear my present position and the very need for true and solicited help with respect to Ex President Taylor. Your assistance is needed in the sense that some funds derived from Diamond sales during his tenure needs to be transferred/moved from its present location to a place or an account that you may hopefully provide or arrange. The reason for this is that plans are underway to confiscate not only his known fixed assets but also liquid assets. I have been mandated to seek and find a relaible person, based overseas, that is disposed in helping to secure some or all of the funds in question. if this proposal fascinate you, and you are willing to assit kindly e-mail me. Otherwise no offence meant. Sincerely yours, Henri Winndu. Alternative email: henriwinndu(a)123.com Please provide your telephone for immediate contact

RE: slow dumps
by Rogers, Jamie 17 Nov '03

17 Nov '03

I wanted to relay some the information that I received regarding my problem with slow file system dumps from my toaster to my Solaris 8 remote tape. As well as thank those persons who responded. I received three suggestions. The first was to try using a different blocking factor, I had tried using different blocking factors but not larger as in this suggestion. I am evaluating a blocking factor of 128 which has doubled my throughput. Not what it should be but still a 100% improvement! As has been noted you have to keep this in mind on a restore as well. (rsh $FILER dump 0ubf 128 $SUNBOX:/dev/rmt/1 /vol/vol2). The second suggestion that I received indicated a similar issue with a very wide but not necessarily deep directory structure where NDMP dumps went from 50+GB/hour to around 8kbps. Apparently "NetApp have indicated it is an NDMP/dump issue and there is no fix". However this site upgraded to 6.4.x and saw much greater throughput, (no data). I have not yet decided to upgrade Data ONTAP. The third suggestion that I received noted that "Lots of small files, especially lots of small files in a single directory is a dump performance killer. Basically you spend a lot of time doing the meta data stuff (path, permissions, etc) and little time to get the tape streaming to dump the data. I'd be willing to bet the same amount of data but in a few large files would back up significantly quicker...at least that's been my experience." This is indeed true. He had two suggestions. The first was to try using the native hidden command "dd" on the filer which is really less friendly than the dump command but might be worth a try. "DD" has its draw backs and limitations and it seems like it might be an administrative nightmare. The second suggestion was to use snapmirror, which is unfortunately a bit cost prohibitive. Thanks for all your help. I'll let you know if an OS upgrade helps if I try it. Other suggestions are always welcomed. -Jamie -----Original Message----- From: Rogers, Jamie [mailto:jrogers@aware.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 4:10 PM To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: slow dumps Toasters, I have an F760 running data ontap 6.3.1 with 4 FC-9 (7x32) shelves attached. I use Ultra 10 with a HP SureStore718 LVD autoloader for remote backups. I use rsh (rsh filer dump 0uf sunbox:/dev/rmt/1 /vol/vol1) via a cron job to run the dump. The Ultra10 and the filer are connected on a private network via 100TX crossover cable. Local file system backups (from the Ultra 10) to this tape drive go at about 4+ Meg/sec, great. The root volume of my filer and /vol3 dump at 4+ Megs/sec, this is great. However 2 volumes, vol1 and vol2, dump at 571Kb/sec.

FAS200 series performance

Has anyone seen any performance numbers for the FAS200 series? We are looking at upgrading / replacing some older F700 systems and I wanted to know how they stacked up. I know the disk capacity isn't all that much different (4 TB raw for FAS270C vs 6 TB raw for F760C), but what about NFS ops? We're not pushing that much through now, but if we start consolidating... -- Geoff Hardin geoff.hardin(a)dalsemi.com If you want to get to the top, be prepared to kiss a lot the bottom. - Despair, Inc.

Raid group and volume...

For all the inquiring minds, I found this under the download section: ********************************************************************** DEBUG PATCH RELEASE 6.3.1D8 Based on release 6.3.1 ********************************************************************** This is a DEBUG patch, which means it has fixes that have not been released in a regular software version yet. These fixes, if validated, will be checked in and released in a future release after adequate QA and testing. Fixes contained in this patch release are: 85294 Ineffective nlm GRANTED requested (callback) 78177 Renaming a small number of files repeatedly causes WAFL dir size to grow 83697 CPU at 100% after 6.2.1 upgrade from 6.1.3R1, with low NFS Ops and Disk Ops 80286 Problem accessing ~snapshot directory when using the "nosymlink_strict_security" share option 82176 File access can fail when using a widelink that maps to a share that supports widelinks 78570 Slow FTP performance with clustering enabled. 80332 SNMP may stop responding after accessing miscGlobalStatus on FAS9xx appliances. 81905 kma.c crash in wafl_zombie_growfile_handler 83681 CIFS file owner may be set incorrectly 85651 CIFS SETUP fails with "DSA is unwilling to perform" 85653 can't set file attributes when restoring with Veritas NetBackup 81631 isp2100 not handling port_logged_out status correctly for CT requests 86862 Master filer panic during takeover - memory leak from dup_user_field() 86464 Volume SnapMirror from an F840,F880,F9XX to a platform other than F840,F880 or F9XX on restarting may lead to corruption on destination. -----Original Message----- From: Hill, Aaron [mailto:aaron.hill@navitaire.com] Sent: Sunday, February 16, 2003 2:14 PM To: 'Chris Blackmor' Cc: 'Paul McGuinness (ext. 771)'; 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: RE: Data ONTAP Upgrade Hey there, I welcome questions. Unfortunately, my answers may not be sufficient to satisfy your mental hunger. To be honest, I don't know exactly what the D8 does. I was informed that it fixes the snapmirror code. The error was found to occur only in our "specific" circumstance. So what was/is our circumstance? 1) F880 source snapmirroring 3 batch area volumes to an F820 target across a 20Mbit Ethernet WAN. 2) The amount of data change per day is high. Approximately 10-40Gb per volume. 3) We were experiencing poor throughput across the WAN link (carrier issue) and had to frequently abort the snapmirror and delete snapshots from the F880 source in order to prevent snapshot space over-running production data space. This throughput has since been addressed (before D8). 4) The F820 target panicked a couple of times and dumped to the ok prompt. One of the target volumes was found to be corrupt. It was difficult to say if the source filer caused it or the target filer developed the corruption independently. We had some cases open and ran wafl checks and scans on both filers as a result. No errors were turned up. 5) The crash dump file was ftp'd to NetApp. This lead to the 6.3.1D8 debug release. When I get some more time, I might read into it a bit further. For now, I am more than happy that they have addressed the issue and fixed it very quickly. We have not had any problems with 6.3.1 or the D8 releases.

RE: F760 fails to pass POST, bad DIMM

Is it ok to use different size DIMMs? Would it be ok to take 2 128MB ones from my F740 and use them in this F760? Thanks for all the assistance Dan -----Original Message----- From: McCarthy, Tim [mailto:timothy.mccarthy@netapp.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 6:50 AM To: DFinn(a)studentadvantage.com Subject: RE: F760 fails to pass POST, bad DIMM As was mentioned, the J30 DIMM is marked on the motherboard. Try reseating the memory module and see if you get past it. If not, remove the memory module. Realize: you are running with half of your memory as the system uses the modules in pairs...removing one effectively removes two. If you have a large capacity system, you may run into problems as well.... --tmac -----Original Message----- From: DFinn(a)studentadvantage.com [mailto:DFinn@studentadvantage.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 1:33 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: F760 fails to pass POST, bad DIMM here's the error on bootup: Alpha Open Firmware by FirmWorks Copyright 1995-2000 FirmWorks, Network Appliance.

The error above points out the bad dimm that needs replacement. 1. Can I just remove the bad dimm and run with less memory temporarily? 2. I have a spare F740 that I can rob parts from, can I take a DIMM from there and replace the bad one in this F760? 3. How do I locate DIMM J30? any and all help is really apprecaited. Thanks Dan

Dear Sir, My name is William Ume, Presently, I am working in an African country. I got your contact via an online network and felt you may be willing to pursue this with me. This proposal may sound strange to you or probably you may even think it is a joke, because of lots of funny mails circulating over the Internet. Well if you do, I really understand, but honestly my friend, I am really handicaped, because this is the only means available to me to communicate to you. Honestly, I think you should give me a trial, I need your assistance and the deal is good. The deal involves the transfer of funds, safely abroad. For your role, you are to receive a percentage of the funds, based on a sharing formula that will be agreed by both parties. If you are interested in pursuing this further please contact me via e-mail so that I can furnish you with the relevant details about the origin of the fund and the modalities for the deal. Please send your response to my private e-mail williamume(a)indiatimes.com William.

I'm thinking about testing HTTP on my test filer and was wondering if anyone had any comments on this product. Good or bad. I don't have any experience with running http on filers. Thanks -Mark
