RE: Networker/NDMP backup problems
by Blake, Delroy 14 Aug '03

I would check media and drives. NDMP backups have one nasty/fatal issue and that is if you get a scsi reset while backups are going on you your drive will re-wind and overwrite your label. (NULL) Networker only writing a small amount of data on a tape is normally when he has had bad media or drive needs some TLC. Both combined I would look at data path and the drive while checking if /var/adm/messages complains about SCSI transport errors or the like. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Musgrove [mailto:matt.musgrove@thales-is.com] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 7:27 AM To: Toasters Subject: Networker/NDMP backup problems Hello Toasters, I hope someone can help with this; I am having some annoying backup problems.

by BARRISTER JOHN .MONY( ESQ) 14 Aug '03

14 Aug '03

Attention: Sir, I am Barrister John Mony a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to Mr. John Anderson a foreigner, who was a contractor to Shell Petroleum Development Company in Ghana(SPDC). On the 26th of September 1999, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a Plane crash on their way to Bongatanga Games Reserve for 2week`s holiday.Unfortunately they All lost their lives in the plane crash, Since then I have made several enquiries to his Embassy and the home address he filled in his file in my office to locate any of his extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to use the Internet to locate any member of his family but to no avail, hence I contacted you.I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the SECURITY & FINANCE HOUSE where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the FINANCE HOUSE where the diseased had an account valued at about US$45M (Fourtyfive million dollars). Conseqently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated. since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 4 years now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are a foreigner so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$45M can be paid to you and I. We shall share the money thus 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% will be used to re-imburse any expenses that might be incurred on both ends and to service the tax that might incur be in your country. Please i am here in holland as a summer vacation for 3 weeks which they knew i am providing the next kin including the back up documents. I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Yours Faithfully, Barrister John Mony(Esq). N.B. Please indicate your telephone and fax numbers for easy communication in this mutual transaction.

You must take attention with snapmirror. When you do a vol snapmirror from little disks to larger disks, you can have some problem with fragmentation. The free space in every disk will not be on the same place on the new disks (he will use the new disks sequential to load the old disks so that the first disks of your new volume will be totaly full), so it's harder to write new data on the same level. This will mean that when your source volume and destination volume have almost the same size, after migration there is a high change that he will use just one disk of your raid group (the last one) for the new data. All your old data is writen to the first disks. This can give performance issues. Of course, this problem is biger when the source volume is full. We use QTREE snapmirror, but we are'nt sure that this is better, but we hope that it is. But your source data must be in qtree's ofcourse.

Clarence, IAre the disks within the same box? If not...then snapmirror is a good way to go. You might be able to snapmirror within the same box. Performance really depends on how many disks you have in the volume(s) and what kind of head (700, 800, 900) that you have. If you are able to snapmirror, then the down time can be on the order of minutes. It has become my favorite method for moving data. I am not positive about the source and destination being on the same box though. Rough numbers though, you could get 60MByte/sec xfer rate on 820s. If you are on 960s expect to be on the order of 120MBytes/sec. But then it does depend on how many drives in the raid group and volumes.

CIFS setup issue
by drew.odonnell＠americas.bnpparibas.com 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

I have an old 740 I loaded 6.4 on for testing and I cannot seem to join my NT domain. I am running NT 4.0 and I currently have 5 filers running in multiple domains with no issues. I have double-checked WINS entries, DNS and everything I can think of. During CIFS setup the filer actually finds my PDC, through WINS, but fails setup. Here is the log: testna1> cifs setup Enable CIFS access to the filer by a Windows(tm) PC Your filer is visible to all systems using WINS. The WINS name servers currently configured are: 10.110.10.5 Do you want to modify this list? [no]: This filer is currently configured as a NTFS-only filer.

Enter the Windows Domain for the filer []:MYDOMAIN CIFS cannot find MYDOMAIN in DNS, and so must assume that this is not a Windows 2000 domain.

BCS ZCS benchmarking statistical data
by steve＠hq.newdream.net 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

I'm looking for any type of data that supports whether BCS drives perform better/worse than ZCS drives. In particular, I'd like to see benchmark read/write performance on F760 filers (using ONTAP 6.3.1R1) with FC9 volumes of purely 36GB ZCS or 36GB BCS drives and also volumes of purely 72GB ZCS or 72GB BCS. I looked through the NOW pages but couldn't find anything along these lines. It seems netapp has moved in the direction that all their newer/larger disks tend to be BCS(520) only or am I mistaken? If thats the case then where is the data to show why BCS is better than ZCS. Aside from the fact that you loose a slight amount of disk space on BCS drives what are the pluses? Is there less CPU overhead one way or another? Thanks, Steve

Just noticed the following message on my filer console: Tue Aug 12 14:33:33 EDT [CIFSVScan:warning]: Virus Scanner: pipe_CreatePipe failed [0xc000005e] This is followed by a disconnect message, and a registered message. It cycles through these messages over and over for one of my two registered scanning clients. I'm using Symantec Carrier scan. Anyone encounter this one? Thanks.

If you're for some reason not using virus protection, you could probably get away with this by enabling virus protection and setting it to only scan the extensions that you want to deny. I would except then that the filer would try to virus scan those files, fail to do so, then deny access to the files. That's a klugey way to do it though.

Re: NDMP Restore Question
by Michel GELDENHUYS 11 Aug '03

Hello Stephen, I would say it's Veritas-related, since while testing Atempo Time Navigator w/ NDMP, we could restore files elsewhere without overwriting the original ones. Just to moderate my answer: we take a tape backup of SnapVault data, so the data is read-only, and obviously, it can't be overwritten. But as far as I could see, I didn't notice anything that could allude to an overwriting of the original data. PS: why not upgrade to NetBackup 4.5 ?

Oracle 9i and NetApp F825 & HP-UX
by Darragh, Stephen J 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

Hello to all, We have a HP-UX 11.11 server running Oracle 9i on a filer with 6.4.1 We get nfs hangs and nfsstat -c shows connectionoriented timeouts, badcalls and badxids We had problem with Oracle 9iis Apache web server because the log file was nfs mounted and this caused connnectionless oriented errors which were fixed. We have this on a gige directly connected between the filer and server, and we have another server that runs oracle 8 without any problems. These are all Gig Ethernet nas_e4 <--> public nas_e5 <--> oracle9i nas_e10 <--> oracle8 When we get the nfs hang, commands like ls will show the files, but ls -l hangs, also bdf hangs. We have a escalation call to NetApp on this, and have run perfstat and pkkt and have not found anything obvious yet. We have also gone through all the suggestions in the two white papers on Oacle , HP-UX and the filer. Suggestions??? Stephen Darragh Unix Admin
