RE: How to add users to Builtin\Administrators without Domain Adm ins Permissions?
by Hill, Aaron 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

Answered my own question, and avoided the ugly fix; 1) Mapped a drive first using the filer local admins permissions. i.e. net use * \\ <file:///\\%3cfiler%3e\c$> <filer>\c$ /U:<filer> <password> 2) Used computer management snap-in to add myself as a local administrator. My credentials were effectively filer\Administrator. I believe this is something to do with the IPC$ browsing credentials that are established by connecting to the share. Important; Avoid editing lclgroups.cfg in DOT < 6.1.2, it can panic the filer. See BUG ID 49404. In reference to Mark's suggestion; 6.4.1, the only command I could find was useradmin, the man page for this command doesn't indicate any group permissioning. Let me know if you find out another command that does this.

CONFIDENTIAL/URGENT REPLY.
by aione aione 02 Aug '03

02 Aug '03

Dear Friend, It bothers me when rumors about all the email you get, especially the one about how every thing you get through email from Africa is a scam or joke. The rumor circulates like wild fire, I am pissed off about it. You know, I have been working with the former President of my country MADAGASCAR, and I have some thing to discuss with you, but this rumor kept me thinking and the discussion being delayed. Now I have made up my mind to talk to you about my proposal because I know this is real wealth. Find below the Details; CONFIDENTIAL/URGENT REPLY. Dear Good Friend, My name is Mrs. G. Gallo, I am one of the former advisers to the former President of Madagascar, Mr. Didier Ratsiraka on financial matters. I am compelled to contact you and reveal this confidential issue to you due to the prevailing circumstances in my country Madagascar. And I hope you will maintain confidentiality. During the last Presidential election conducted by the former government of Mr. Didier Ratsiraka, in my country, the former President withdrew large sums of fund in U.S.dollars for his re-election campaigns and to buy more votes from the opposition members. The funds were kept in the offices of the former Presidents confidants which my office was among. During the campaign and the election proper, the former President spent so much money, large part of the fund in my custody was spent leaving the balance of $15 million U.S.A. dollars, but the election was marred by civil unrest led by the leader of the opposing party Mr.. Marc Ravalomanana who eventually became the President of Madagascar as a result of many deaths, there was interventions of some world leaders which resulted to the ousting of the former President by the opposition party. Fortunately,before the total collapse of the government of Mr. D Ratsiraka, I was able to move the fund balance of $15 million dollars in a disguised manner as a 'diplomatic baggage' by cargo out of the country to the Netherlands, and the baggage was deposited into a security company there in Netherlands through their affiliate in Africa. Before his exile I have declared to him (the former President) that we lost the money to fire set on my office by the opposition supporters,in fact my office was really burnt down. I have decided to divert this fund which I declared to be an "diplomatic consignment" belonging to my foreign partners, as nobody have requested for it till date. It was obvious and known that during that political crises, majority of foreigners from America, Europe and Asia left Madagascar in a rush, this informed my idea to lebel the consignment diplomatic, and would not be tampered. I have not been into business before, therefore as 'am preparing my self I need a trust-worthy person to guide me into this new life, after this consignment have been secured. I am unable to leave Madagascar now due to the security put in place by the present government to monitor movement of some close allies of former President, that is the reason we should reply through e-mails. More importantly, this message is to inform you that I seek for your assistance to go on my behalf to Nederland and recieve delivery of the consignment for onward lodgement into your account, within the shortest possible time for safe keeping, as I hope to leave the country as the newly elected parliamentarians are now poised to relax all restrictions affecting former officers. Please note that this transaction demands the highest degree of trust and confidentiality between us, as I have taken adequate measure to assure safety and risk free. In appreciation of your assistance, I have worked out the sharing ratio for this transaction as follows; 70% for my investment in your country under your close supervisions and directions. 25% for you as a result of your assistance.. 5% for all incidental expenses. If you have any question do not hesitate to ask me.Upon your immediate favorable reply I would be able to send to you the guide lines on how to actualize and bring to successful conclusion of the transaction. I would also ask the affiliate company here to make avilable to you the contact line of their company in Holland where the consignment is kept now. All communications to me should be by emails for now, in your reply include your telephone and fax numbers. As I wait for your reply, stay Blessed. Yours Sincerely, Mrs.. Gloria Gallo _________________________________________________________ http://www.latinmail.com. Gratuito, latino y en espa�ol.

NDMPcopy and fibre disk shelve file copy.
by Ngoh, Clarence 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

Hello good toaster folks We are planning to move a huge lot of data (> 3.0 T) from our 32 GB drives to 144 GB. I am carrying out some preliminary information about the quickest path to move the data across - the first option is to use ndmpcopy and the second is to copy it from shelf to shelf over fiber. Since this is a preliminary investigation, can someone please point me to relevant resources that may be helpful? I am after statistics of transfer rates between the two and perhaps other materials that others have found useful. I have googled and looked through past toaster archives, and most of it is either outdated or lack of relevant information. Thanks.

RE: Does anyone have experience with SQL 2000 on NetApp?
by Reinoud Reynders 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

We use SQL and VLD just one year now. We are very happy with it. The performance is very high. We use a separate volume for our logs. So we have 1 volume for the data with several QTREE's (one for every database) and 1 volume for the logs. This is because there is a difference between write/read behaviour (logs = write; data = read). The performance is much better when you split logs and data. Of course, more disks in your raidgroup gives more performance (5 spindles of 72 GB disks for data). For the logs, we use just 2 spindles, but that is no problem. We use that volumes only for VLD. We have some other volumes on the same filer for other applications (file server, ...). When you want more details, please contact me.

Performance impact of 6.3 to 6.4 upgrade?
by Davin Milun 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

Does anyone have any concrete experience with what the performance impact of the WAFL reorg that upgrading from 6.3.x to 6.4.x causes is? I have some very loaded (almost disk bound) 960C's running 6.3.2, which I need to upgrade to 6.4.1 (because I'm told that the new DS14 Mk2 shelves that we're adding are not supported by 6.3.x). And I'm worried about the performance impact of the upgrade is: how much disk/CPU increase it uses while it runs, and how long the reorg typically takes. I've asked the same question of NetApp support, but I was wondering if anyone here has some personal experience. Thanks! Davin. -- Davin Milun E-mail: milun(a)cse.buffalo.edu

BEA Weblogics
by Robert Borowicz 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Are there any users out there using BEA Weblogics App servers out there that may be mounting the "projects" area from filers? BEA moves files around from the Admin Server to Managed Servers which may be on separate machines via its "deploy command. I'm vying to mount the domain dir on the Admin host and also make that a share to the W2K "build box". When our build guy goes to deploy apps his Ant scripts need to simply copy the .ear's and .war's to a "drop dir" which is also on the Admin host. From there we do the Weblogics "deploy" which does a number of things fundamentally which is moving the .ear files out of the drop dir and into the deploy app dirs. Anybody doing this? Thanks -Rob

Disk Hardware Questions
by Steve Evans 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

Some questions. . . 1. I have a DS14 shelf with 36gb disks, and FC8 shelf's with 18gb disks. Each shelf has a HotSpare. If a 18gb disk fails will it for sure use the 18gb hotspare or is there a chance it will pickup the 36gb hotspare? 2. I'm thinking about migrating all the data on the 36gb drives (including /etc folder) to fewer 72gb drives. What's the best way to do that? Can I add the new 72gb disks to the volume with 36gb drives, then start to remove 36gb drives over time? 3. Right now I have the FC connection going like this: Filer Head --> FC8 shelf --> FC8 shelf --> DS14 shelf. All of the important data is on the DS14 shelf. The FC8 shelfs aren't on support contracts, and don't have any important data at all. (mostly system images, software install files, etc). Is this a bad idea. How much risk am I putting my important data on the DS14 shelf. We're thinking about getting another FC HBA with two ports because right now we just have a single FC cable. Then I would plan on putting DS14 shelf on the Dual Port HBA (with redundant paths) and putting the FC8 shelfs on our current HBA by itself. 4. With the sysstats tool, what kind of numbers can I expect to max out on, on the Disk KB/s? Thanks, Steve Evans SDSU Foundation

Simple but effective. #!/bin/perl # # Usage mydu [dir] # opendir (DIR, $ARGV[0]) || die "Can't open $ARGV[0] $!"; @dirs = readdir(DIR); closedir (DIR); foreach $d (@dirs) { next if ($d eq "." || $d eq ".." || $d eq ".snapshot"); system ("du -s $ARGV[0]/$d"); } -- Adam Fox NetApp Professional Services, NC adamfox(a)netapp.com -----Original Message----- From: Chris Thompson [mailto:cet1@cus.cam.ac.uk] Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 2:18 PM To: Art Hebert Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Error: du: failed for admin: Cycle detected art(a)arzoon.com (Art Herbert) writes: > > I am getting this error when I try to do a "du -sk *" some netapp > directories mounted on my solaris 2.9 You mean Solaris 9 (SunOS 5.9), presumably. > oracle database server.

Not until I did some experiments ... :) The "Cycle detected" message is apparently (from "strings" output) new in Solaris 9 "du". It seems that it happens whenever one applies "du" to a directory tree in which there are "visible" .snapshot directory entries (i.e. one or more NFS mount points). Presumably it's getting upset by the duplicate inode numbers appearing in snapshots. Lots of Unix utilities (especially GNUish ones) have had similar problems in the past. [Of course, it's not unreasonable to take the line that their confusion is quite justified, and that NetApp have a design fault here.] Chris Thompson Email: cet1(a)cam.ac.uk

Chris -- thanks -- I mounted the netapp on a solaris 2.7 box yesterday and didn't have the problem so I figured it was solaris 9 related. art -----Original Message----- From: Chris Thompson [mailto:cet1@cus.cam.ac.uk] Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 11:18 AM To: art(a)arzoon.com Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Error: du: failed for admin: Cycle detected art(a)arzoon.com (Art Herbert) writes: > > I am getting this error when I try to do a "du -sk *" some netapp > directories mounted on my solaris 2.9 You mean Solaris 9 (SunOS 5.9), presumably. > oracle database server.

I am getting this error when I try to do a "du -sk *" some netapp directories mounted on my solaris 2.9 oracle database server. If I am in the directory that contains the files it works fine. If I try to do it one level up I get the Cycle detected error: sjcoracle01[root]202# cd /export/home/oracle/oradata/server01/admin sjcoracle01[root]203# du -sk * 35692 RMAN 44 network 530080 prod01 sjcoracle01[root]204# cd .. sjcoracle01[root]205# du -sk * du: failed for admin: Cycle detected du: failed for arch1: Cycle detected du: failed for arch2: Cycle detected du: failed for data1: Cycle detected du: failed for data2: Cycle detected du: failed for rbs1: Cycle detected du: failed for redo1: Cycle detected du: failed for redo2: Cycle detected du: failed for temp1: Cycle detected Mounted as follows: /export/home/oracle/admin on sjcf760-01:/vol/vol0/oracle/admin remote/read/write/setuid/hard/intr/vers=3/proto=tcp/forcedirectio/xattr/dev= 4580001 Anybody ever see this error? art
