Vol copy'ing a ZCS volume to a BCS one
by Chris Thompson 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

What happens when one does a "vol copy" from a volume that has zoned checksums active to one that is made out of BCS (520-byte sector) disks? Do the blocks that were reserved for zone checksums on the source volume become free when the target volume is put online? Or does the latter remain a zoned checksum volume even though it is made up of BCS discs? The documentation doesn't seem to be very clear on this point, and I can't do the experiment (yet) ...

URGENT ASSISTANCE
by JOSEPH WILLIAMS 26 Jul '03

26 Jul '03

JOSEPH WILLIAMS DIRECTOR PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION (MEMR) Dear Sir, I am an Engineer with the South African Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and I am also a member of the Republic of South Africa Contract Award and Monitoring Commitee in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. It is a pleasure involving you in this project. Although, this may sound strange but I seek your indulgence and pray you view it seriously. Two years ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources by my committee. This contract was over invoiced to the tune of US$14.3Million. This was done delibrately. The over invoicing was a deal by my commitee to benefit from the project. We now desire to transfer this money which is in a suspense account with the MEMR into any oversea account which we expect you to provide for us. For providing the account where we shall remit the money, you will be entitled to 30% of the money, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred by both parties during course of transfer, while the remaining 60%will be for my partners and myself. I would require the following: 1)Bank details ( Name and address / Account no/Beneficiary name ) 2)Private Telephone and Fax number of Beneficiary The above information would be used to make formal application as a matter of procedure for the release of the money and onward transfer to your account. It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of this of this nature described here, the assumption is that your company won the major contract and subcontracted it out to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies or firms of unrelated fields win major contracts and subcontract to more specialized firms for execution of such contracts. We have strong and reliable connections, top government contacts at the South Africa Reserve Bank and Ministry of Finance and we have no doubt that all this money will be released and transferred if we get the necessary foreign partner to assist us in this deal. Therefore, when the business is successfully concluded we shall through our connection withdraw all documents used from all the concerned Government Ministries for 100% security. We are civil servants and we will not want to miss this opportunity. Please contact me immediately through my above Telephone or email contact, whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal. But where you are interested, send the required informations aforementioned herein without delay as time is of essence in this business. I want to assure you once again that this transaction is 100% risk free both now and in the future. I await in anticipation of your fullest co-operation. Yours faithfully, JOSEPH WILLIAMS

connection refused error when trying to access filerview
by DFinn＠studentadvantage.com 25 Jul '03

25 Jul '03

I know this used to work a while back but it no longer does. I don't use it but another admin here would like to be able to use it to make changes. It works fine on the three other netapps we have here. This one is running an older version of OS though, it's at NetApp Release 5.3.5R2. Under options httpd.admin.enable is set to on. I can get in and bring up the java window, i don't get the error message until I try to access something that requres the root password. When I provide it I get the following error: Error communicating with host 10.209.68.211 msg=Connection refused nothing shows up in the message log for errors. Is there a way to turn on logging for this to try and get more info about what's happening? I've also tried disabling it and enabling it and that doesn't seem to fix the problem. I know the password is correct because I can telnet into the console just fine. Could it be looking for a different password other than the root password? I also ran the password command and changed the root users password and then tried to access filerview with the new password and that didn't work either. Any help would be really appreciated Thanks Dan

RE: Upgrading to 6.4.1 a good risk?
by Hill, Aaron 24 Jul '03

24 Jul '03

We had a nightmare with NDMP when 6.4.1 was installed on our FAS960 cluster. Netbackup 4.5 NDMP refused to work. NetApp rolled back the upgrade to 6.3.1 and everything worked great. From what I can tell, the D* versions have addressed this Netbackup/NDMP issue. To upgrade or not upgrade? My advice is; Don't do it unless 6.4.1D* gives you functionality that is critical to your production operation. If 6.4.1D* is critical, my advice is to upgrade and test the backups. But make sure you have a clear understanding of the downgrade procedure if you need to do it.

Mirroring using raidsize=2
by Bruce Arden 24 Jul '03

24 Jul '03

Our company (in its wisdom) has decided that all "critcal" data must be on mirrored filesystems, not on raid. On filers, if you set the raidsize to 2, you effectively get a mirrored volume. Does anyone do this? Does it cause a performance problem? Is there a limit on the number of raid groups in a volume? - Bruce -- Bruce Arden arden(a)nortelnetworks.com barden2(a)csc.com CSC, Nortel, London Rd, Harlow, England +44 1279 40 2877

I am pretty sure that mirroring falls under one of the defined RAID levels :) http://www.acnc.com/04_01_00.html I suppose they mean "not parity protected" rather than raid. > On filers, if you set the raidsize to 2, you effectively get > a mirrored volume. Interesting. I had not really thought of it that way, but I guess you sort of do, in a twisted way. But the reality is that you are still relying on parity protection in this scenario, even if you can survive a 1 disk failure. So you are not doing real mirroring (eg: duplication of writes & reads). The cost and performance overhead of doing this (2 drive raidgroup) solution would make me want to further investigate this mandate. Depending on the reason mirroring is being mandated, the features in the filer can be used to counter most, if not all of these reasons. alexei

Re: Mirroring using raidsize=2

In the advanced administration and troubleshooting guide netapp indeed points out that a raidgroup should not have less than three data disks. Otherwise you will have a decrease in performance especially with read/write of large files. It has to do with the wafl striping mechanism but unfortunately the explanation in this guide is quite marginal. Perhaps someone from netapp can give us a more detailed answer? thorsten arden@nortelnetworks.com@mathworks.com on 23.07.2003 19:02:07 Sent by: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com To: toasters(a)mathworks.com cc: Subject: Mirroring using raidsize=2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our company (in its wisdom) has decided that all "critcal" data must be on mirrored filesystems, not on raid. On filers, if you set the raidsize to 2, you effectively get a mirrored volume. Does anyone do this? Does it cause a performance problem? Is there a limit on the number of raid groups in a volume? - Bruce -- Bruce Arden arden(a)nortelnetworks.com barden2(a)csc.com CSC, Nortel, London Rd, Harlow, England +44 1279 40 2877

Dear Friend. As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Peter Lawson,a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer which was discovered very late,due to my laxity in carrying for my health. It has defiled all forms of medicine, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God ! has called me, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul and so, I have decided to give arms to charity organizations and give succour and confort to the less priviledged in our societies, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this my self anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization and to the less priviledged in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of twenty four million dollars that I have with a Security Company in Europe for safe keeping. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and disburse it to some charity organizations and to the less priviledged. Please send me a mail to indicate if you will assist me in this disbursement. I have set aside 10% for you for your time and patience. You can e-mail me at:plawson@hknetmail.com While I await to hear from you, may God be with you and your entire family. Remain blessed.

Please use the latest version of Backup Express. There was a bug that has since been fixed. We will now use MD5 authentication during initial configuration of a node. Ontap 6.4 documentation (Data Protection Guide) lists the steps that you can perform to setup a non-root user account for NDMP access.
