Monitoring CIFS Quota Threshold alerts...
by Sto Rage! 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

Dear Toasters, I would like to monitor and send out alerts to CIFS users when they hit their disk quota thresholds. I am sure some of you are doing this now. I have setup up quotas and thresholds and see the entries in the etc/messages file (which is mounted on a Linux host) The entries have the SID instead of the user name, like the entry below. Fri Aug 29 07:38:22 PDT [quota.softlimit.exceeded:notice]: Threshold exceeded for user S-1-5-21-1177238915-1993962763-725345543-10399, tree 1 on volume vol1 Is there a way to get this message logged as a more human readable format ? i.e. something like Fri Aug 29 07:38:22 PDT [quota.softlimit.exceeded:notice]: Threshold exceeded for user jdoe, tree 1 on vol1 Currently I use Nagios (www.nagios.org) to send out alerts to the admin when these messages are logged, but would like to send the alerts to the user directly, may be also add their current quota, space used & % used. Any pointers? thanks in advance -G

Is this do-able? FilerA - onsite LAN connection FilerB - onsite LAN connection NearStoreA - onsite LAN connection FilerZ - offsite WAN connection NearStoreA SnapMirror the QTrees on FilerA and FilerB into one volume (maintaining the qtrees). FilerZ then SnapMirroring the volume from NearStoreA.

Hi Joseph, You should use the /etc/syslog.conf : By default you have *.info /dev/console *.info /etc/messages With the first line, it stands that every message is displayed on the console. So you can set up syslog.conf to have any kind of info redirected to a file.

URGENT ASSISTANCE

FROM THE DESK OF; Mr.LAWRENCE KABI ACCRA, GHANA.W/AFRICA. E-MAIL: lawrencekabi(a)netscape.net PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL You may be surprise at receiving this mail but I crave your patience to read through, as this will be of immense financial reward to us all if we cooperate to see the project through. I am Mr.LAWRENCE KABI, a senior Account Manager (Transfer& Return) with the Standard Chartered Bank of Ghana. First and foremost I apologise using this medium in communicating with you in such business, this is due to prompt access reposed on it. For over three years now, an account has been lying dormant with a closing balance of (US$7.5M). Our investigation revealed that the account belongs to a Gold and Mining merchant, Mr Simon who has since died. Since his death, no one has come forward to claim to this inheritance as none was stated in his dossier/file; hence we decided to request your assistance in claiming this inheritance. Every four years, all banking institutions are obliged to return such money to the coffers of the Treasury of the Central Bank in compliance with the Banking Laws and Guidelines and in my ten years experience at the bank, I have seen many of these cases. Consequently, after careful and prolong deliberation we decided to seize this once in a life time opportunity to solicit your assistance to lay claims to these inheritance as the benefactor and to enable us transfer these funds for our own benefit to avoid any suspicion we decided not to use a local national since Mr.Simon was a foreigner so is the beneficiary and I must assure you that it is completely risk free and all necessary documents to effect transfer within days are at desk to expedite the procedure. If you are interested and willing to assist, please contact me on the above e-mail address to discuss in details regarding what information is required of you and your share of these fund as partner to this transaction. I will request further assistance as I intend to invest part of my share into a business venture immediately. I look forward to hear from you. Yours faithfully, Lawrence kabi

Mike, I was just notified by a system engineer at NetApp that these converters will not work. The NetApp X6512A converter (same as the the Stratos) requires a powered copper fibre channel connection. The copper fibre channel port for tape on the FAS250 is not powered so these converters will not work. Sorry for the wrong information. I will let you know if I can come up with a solution.

poor performance on a filer

We have an F760C that seems to have recently run into a wall in regards to performance. As you can see, there total NFS ops (its purely NFS over UDP) are tiny for what this class of filer can handle, the net in/out isn't especially high, the disks are doing about half of what they can, but you can see the CPU is pegged and the Consistency Point type is B (back to back CPs), which I seem to remember was very bad. filer> version NetApp Release 6.1R1P1: Wed Jun 20 18:24:25 PDT 2001 filer> sysstat -u 1 CPU Total Net kB/s Disk kB/s Tape kB/s Cache Cache CP CP Disk ops/s in out read write read write age hit time ty util 100% 12 1777 10 0 0 0 0 7 100% 100% : 0% 100% 23 431 7 2094 4955 0 0 7 100% 100% : 48% 100% 2 499 7 359 865 0 0 7 100% 100% : 15% 100% 6 551 5 0 0 0 0 7 100% 100% : 0% 100% 16 665 7 40 16 0 0 7 100% 100% : 2% 100% 139 1746 13 16 0 0 0 7 100% 100% : 2% 100% 95 461 26 1840 1892 0 0 7 100% 100% B 41% 100% 321 3505 32 636 1152 0 0 7 99% 100% : 21% 100% 274 5380 63 810 1772 0 0 7 100% 100% : 31% 100% 200 1313 39 2732 5893 0 0 7 98% 100% : 44% 100% 361 590 47 3750 5205 0 0 7 100% 100% B 58% 100% 315 7011 173 6491 10557 0 0 7 100% 100% B 51% 100% 483 6314 144 4125 10239 0 0 7 99% 100% : 57% 100% 429 3544 179 4453 7540 0 0 7 100% 100% B 40% 100% 422 6462 138 3351 4313 0 0 7 100% 100% B 40% 100% 504 7227 143 3866 7226 0 0 7 100% 100% B 49% 100% 509 6933 164 3285 8902 0 0 7 100% 100% B 47% 100% 397 6853 161 3511 8631 0 0 7 100% 100% B 41% 100% 342 4527 202 3123 8722 0 0 7 99% 100% B 38% CPU Total Net kB/s Disk kB/s Tape kB/s Cache Cache CP CP Disk ops/s in out read write read write age hit time ty util 100% 450 5346 198 2145 9383 0 0 7 98% 100% : 41% 100% 537 5397 196 2589 4091 0 0 7 99% 100% B 43% 100% 355 7152 376 5053 5944 0 0 7 98% 100% B 47% 100% 390 6693 381 3788 8575 0 0 7 98% 100% B 63% 100% 462 5748 212 2755 8926 0 0 7 98% 100% B 41% 100% 390 5289 206 2936 8896 0 0 7 99% 100% B 40% 100% 408 6120 217 4313 10208 0 0 8 98% 100% : 40% 100% 420 5651 165 3499 5997 0 0 8 99% 100% B 38% 100% 497 7152 1911 4138 3987 0 0 8 100% 100% B 33% 100% 177 6577 647 4195 8403 0 0 8 99% 100% B 61% 100% 491 5549 192 4023 9042 0 0 8 99% 100% B 52% 100% 483 4760 246 2192 9256 0 0 8 98% 100% : 54% 100% 454 6273 282 2125 9104 0 0 8 100% 100% B 43% 100% 419 6278 624 1977 6597 0 0 8 100% 100% B 36% 100% 437 7082 148 2293 4436 0 0 8 100% 100% B 44% 98% 533 6814 166 1964 9181 0 0 8 96% 100% B 45% 100% 451 7486 399 2396 7076 0 0 8 99% 100% B 47% 100% 361 4137 126 36 64 0 0 8 100% 100% : 4% 100% 164 5411 63 32 0 0 0 8 99% 100% : 2% 100% 135 1293 25 40 16 0 0 8 100% 100% : 3% CPU Total Net kB/s Disk kB/s Tape kB/s Cache Cache CP CP Disk ops/s in out read write read write age hit time ty util 100% 113 693 29 242 5297 0 0 8 99% 100% : 17% 88% 100 557 28 1740 5399 0 0 8 93% 100% : 48% 92% 363 2982 66 5628 9746 0 0 8 100% 100% B 42% 69% 245 6641 94 4992 4999 0 0 8 99% 100% B 50% 80% 256 8562 98 6633 11136 0 0 8 98% 100% B 52% 96% 316 5253 97 3594 9801 0 0 8 100% 100% : 54% 80% 484 4006 89 3123 5641 0 0 8 100% 100% F 46% 79% 303 8004 142 7064 8163 0 0 8 99% 100% F 59% 86% 452 7324 124 7658 10672 0 0 8 92% 100% F 75% 96% 487 3194 250 5769 10395 0 0 8 99% 100% : 58% 87% 564 7267 145 5295 7299 0 0 8 95% 100% F 53% 53% 114 8385 108 6838 4198 0 0 8 98% 100% B 36% 97% 520 3170 38 7972 10447 0 0 8 99% 100% : 62% 78% 755 5875 2667 2913 3823 0 0 8 100% 100% B 50% 83% 304 8232 129 7845 8444 0 0 8 99% 100% B 60% 88% 607 7104 101 7272 10302 0 0 8 99% 100% B 65% 91% 478 4897 148 5553 11166 0 0 8 99% 100% : 61% 89% 424 5359 124 5303 6008 0 0 8 99% 100% B 53% 82% 360 8128 110 6587 6664 0 0 8 99% 100% B 64% There are four DLT7000 tape drives connected to the filer, and there is one backup session going to the filer at this time; for some reason, the filer does not report when writing data from a Solaris client using the attached tape drive (we're using QuickRestore 2.7.9 if that makes any difference). I'm tempted to say that it's just a problem with not enough NVRAM on the filer (F760 has 32 MB of NVRAM, and I think it gets split when you're talking about a cluster). Does anyone else have any ideas or suggestions? Geoff Hardin UNIX System Administrator

Windows folder redirection and cifs.homedir
by Colin Eric Johnson 26 Aug '03

26 Aug '03

When I attempt, via group policy, to redirect a users "My Documents" folder to their home directory on the filer using the CIFS.HOMEDIR variable I get the following error logged on the windows client: Failed to perform redirection of folder My Documents. The full source path was <C:\Documents and Settings\colinj\My Documents>. The full destination path was <\\ccis-windows\net\myhome>. At least one of the shares on which these paths lie is currently offline. It's not clear to me why it isn't finding the users home directory and unable to mount it. Is this a known problem? Can it be made to work? I did find one other reference to this in the mailing list archive but there was no posted resolution.

I tried setting prefdc in the cifs command, but this does not help. CIFS is working fine, I just want to eliminate these checks, or at least relegate them to once a day at 2am if possible! You might ask why bother? Well, once I saw that at the time of this check the filer "hiccupped" and I lost some CIFS sessions. So I would like to eliminate it if possible.

RE: GREETINGS

Dear Friend, Greetings, how are you, business and family. I hope all is well with you. I know you might wonder how I got to know your name and email address. I got it from the Presidential Library. 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 60% for me and 40% for you period. My own share will be used for investment in your country. 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

RE: FAS250 fibre tape controller --- copper to optical converter

Mike, By the way, NetApp also sells the X6512A Media Interface Adapter. It was originally intended for filers with optical FCAL controllers and copper based FC9's & DS14's, but it should also work for your application.

You need 6.4.1.

I plan to add another DS-14 shelf to it and was shipped the DS-14 MK2 instead of the "old" DS-14 shelf. Since the MK2's have the new ESM connectors, which i cant use to connect to my old DS-14, i was also shipped out the old style connectors and have swapped out the fiber connectors. I gather that i need atleast 6.1.3 on my F810 to work with the MK-2 shelf. I just wanted to poll the list for recommendations Data Ontap versions and other gotchas that i should be aware of.

RE: full qtree performance hit?
by Alan McLachlan 22 Aug '03

22 Aug '03

Hi Charles, Your DBA doesn't understand what qtrees are about. Not his fault, he's probably used to working with block I/O storage. A tree quota applied to a qtree will incur the same performance hit regardless of the state of the qtree "capacity". i.e. every write will require a hash table comparison, which may cause it to respond with a "disk full" if the quota limit is reached, or an alteration (usually an increment) to the hash table if the write is completed successfully. One of the NetApp guys can provide a more accurate technical description, but that's the general idea. You can resize the tree quota both ways in front of the DBA to help him understand that tree quotas have nothing to do with the layout of data on the disks. (i.e. increase the tree quota so the qtree is only 40% full, run a DB test, shrink the tree quota so it's 99% full then run the same test). However, he is correct of course that there will be a performance impact when the parent VOLUME is nearly full. -----Original Message----- From: Charles Bartels [mailto:cbartels@openharbor.com] Sent: Friday, 22 August 2003 3:03 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: full qtree performance hit? Hi, We're running a test oracle DB connected to a netapp filer. Our DBA is convinced that when the qtrees are close to full (>90%) the performance goes down despite the fact that the parent volume is only 50% full.

Most of HSM will use filer or r150 as target ( ASM, Legato, Veritas Storgae Migrator) They all pretty much the same. Enigma is a bit diiferent, I think Veritas SM will work with Enigma. Most of the HSM will have no porblem archiving to filer as a target, as far as using the filer as "cashe" or primary disk most of the HSM requier DMAPI comliant file system ( vxfs, etc) I think Arcivo has a work around --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message (including any attachments) is confidential and may be privileged.
