NDMP Login
by Holland, William L 21 Jul '03

Is there anyway to configure a filer so that one does not have to use the root account for NDMP operations? It is against all generally acceptable guidelines to allow root access to a system over a network. Any software package that would be used to perform NDMP backups would have to pass the root id and password over the network. In the case of some products it is in plaintext (SyncSort BackupExpress uses plaintext) thus making and entire filer system vulnerable.

[Fwd: Re: Vol wafliron]
by Moshe Linzer 21 Jul '03

21 Jul '03

I did this last week, to repair a volume to prevent Qtree Snapmirror from failing. Be aware that the procedure will unmount and then remount the volume, and this can affect CIFS sessions that are currently connected. Sometimes the remount takes a few minutes, I guess depending on the amount of work wafliron needs to do. I found that it ran slowly at first, and drove CPU to 100% (on a F760), but picked up speed as it progressed. Moshe Merkin, David S wrote: > Hi All: > Has anyone run vol wafliron with any issues.

Dear friend, It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and assistance in the context stated below: May I first introduce myself I am Mohammed Abacha, the eldest son of Late General Sani Abacha (former Military head of state and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) who died suddenly on 8th June 1998. I will want you to read more of me on this web page below:http://www.vanguardngr.com /articles/2002/columns/c128022003.html. if you are trustworthy and can assist me receive some millions of my money kept with some security companies in vaults in Europe, get back to me immediately to enable us proceed at once. The money was kept in a consignment with a Security Company overseas and I have all documents with me as of when it was deposited in a Security Vault for safekeeping. This money has been defaced for Security reasons and also to avoid it been spent by unauthorized persons. We have been deliberating on how to invest this fund abroad in a confidential manner until we came to a conclusion to invest it in the buying of estates and part of it will be used for non-speculative investments in your country. I am therefore soliciting your help to collect the consignment of money on my instruction for the release to you and after then transferred into your account. I will give you all the necessary documentations to facilitate your collection of the consignment personally overseas. The government has no or will never have knowledge of this business, so there is no need to be worried about your safety. I guarantee your safety. Once I have your complete assurance that you can handle this, I will immediately send to you the relevant documents that you will provide to the security company to enable you take possession of the consignments. This will include certificate of deposit and letter of authorization. Meanwhile all I need from you is as follows: 1. Confirmation of your ability to handle this. 2. Your word that you will keep this business as confidential as possible at all times until we conclude this business. 3. Your Name, address and telephone numbers for easy communication. If you agree to help, I will compensate you sincerely for your candid effort in this regard with 15% of the total amount of the total money in question, while 10% has been set aside for minor expenses such as telephone and other bills that you might incur. The remaining 75% will be invested meaningfully for me and my family future. I look forward to your quick response while thanking you for your co-operation. Best wishes, Mohammed Abacha.

setting nfs timeout values
by Igor Schein 17 Jul '03

17 Jul '03

Hi, we're using nfs option soft for all mount off of a filer. My goal is to tune NFS parameters so that I can do a quick filer reboot without currently running jobs giving NFS errors. First UDP. On Solaris, default value of retrans is 5 and default value of timeo is 11, and the way I understand it that I have 5*11/10 = 5.5sec of allowable NFS unavailability before getting fatal NFS errors - not good enough for a filer reboot. So I can set, for example retrans=50,timeo=60, or retrans=15,timeo=200 etc., in order to extend the *grace* period to 5min. My guess is higher timeo/lower retrans is better than vice versa. Now TCP. On Solaris, default value of timeo is 600 (1min), and retrans is N/A, so does that mean that if my only option is to set timeo=3000 to achieve the same goal? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks Igor

RE: Restricting volume access to specific network interfaces
by Alan McLachlan 17 Jul '03

17 Jul '03

William, Dirk is right, however if all you want to do is host a database on your filer there's no need to spend the money on a Multistore license. I've been doing this for over four years now (long before vfilers/multistore). Just create a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet network segment (seperate switch or port VLAN or simple crossover cable). Create a separate IP range for the dedicated "storage network". Here you can be creative and use jumbo frames (large MTU) if your switch supports it to improve large transfer performance. Because it's a seperate physical network the large frames won't be seen by your routers so you can use them safely. For NFS databases, simply set up a seperate identity in your hosts file for the filer on the storage network and you're done. For CIFS (Windows) things are a little more complicated. If you're using SQL Server 7.0 or 2000, set the trace flag to allow UNC paths ("dbcc traceon 1807"). The only catch is that the UNC path (or mapped drive letter for Sybase/Informix/Oracle) must use the actual dedicated network IP address, not a name or you'll get a "network path not found". Using a LMHOSTS #PRE definition doesn't help here as the issue is the authentication path to the domain controller. (Named paths force a direct DC lookup first to get a token to send with the open file request, IP address paths force the target device to do the lookup itself which is what we need in this case). So, to access your tablespace files the path might be something like "\\192.168.1.100\SQL$\MSSQL\" Certainly the share is still available on both networks - which is what you are trying to avoid, however you use can use the ACL's and hidden shares to reduce or eliminate the risk of user access to the share over the LAN.

Restricting volume access to specific network interfaces
by Holland, William L 16 Jul '03

16 Jul '03

Is it possible to restrict access to volumes/qtrees/shares to specific network interfaces? For instance, I create a volume and/or qtree to host a database. I don't want it to be accessed via the onboard 10/100 connection, instead I only want it to be accessible by a dedicated GbE connection i.e. e4a.

RE: access same files via SAN and NFS
by Clarke, John L. (CIS) 10 Jul '03

10 Jul '03

Kerry, If its just a regular NetApp (not a SAN Netapp), you can put in a Fibre Channel card into the NetApp and connect it into a "tape backup" SAN so that you can use the SAN to switch in a tape drive to the filer. Very similar to just attaching a fibre-channel or SCSI tape drive directly to the NetApp. You could then use NDMP to back up the filer to the tape drive(s) over the SAN. This assumes that your TSM backup server supports NDMP. Works great for us.

I mount the filer on Linux as: mlswna:/ on /backup/mnt/mlswna/rt type nfs (ro,timeo=14,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,nfsvers=3,addr=209.41.211.225) UDP, NFS3, 32K rsize. (Linux TCP NFS support is not quite ready for prime time.) I copied a 100MB file in under 10 seconds. That's around 10Mbytes/second. $ ls -l diskfile -rw-r--r-- 1 34726 34726 104857600 May 9 13:44 diskfile $ time cp diskfile /dev/null 9.85s real 0.00s user 0.31s system $ bs -c 104857600/9.85 10,645,441.6244 I would expect much better than this. The network/switch I'm on has little traffic. The only Gigabit use is the filer and Linux boxes. What other advice can you give me? What other knobs to turn.

access same files via SAN and NFS
by Kerry Herschel 10 Jul '03

10 Jul '03

Hi, I'm interested in setting up a volume that a NFS client can write files to via an NFS mount point and our TSM backup server can backup via a SAN connection. Can I setup a volume that can be accessed by both a NFS client and a SAN client? Netapp tech support says no but when reading the documentation it sounds like I can do it. Has anyone done this?
