It has been written to allow more than one administrator at a time to have a shell on the filer. It executes all commands on the filer via rsh and thus only allows for the non interactive filer commands, type '?' at the prompt to see them. The I<fsh> must be executed on a host that has trusted access to the filer via rsh, i.e. the maintenance server. If executed as unpriviledged user it will prepend every execution of rsh by sudo. This slows command execution down considerably. It is recommended to run the fsh as root. If no hostname is given it will execute all commands on I<filer>. The shell uses GNU readline (3) for the command prompt. The behaviour of the command line can be changed with settings in the I<.inputrc>, e.g. adding set editing-mode vi will enable vi command line editing. See the readline (3) manpage for details. =head1 AUTHOR Moritz.Willers(a)ubsw.com, Perot Systems, 2002 =cut Visit our website at http://www.ubswarburg.com This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.

Data ONTAP 5.3.7R3 on a n F520

Greetings, First time caller. I have a 520 for which "snap list" returns several snapshot_for_backup ( busy ) lines. These are old and for some reason were not deleted automatically. I cannot delete them manually either. I have tried setting "snap sched vol0 0 0 0" turned "vol options vol0 nosnap on" and was still unable to delete the snapshots. Below is the output of snap list.

Hi Toasters, I have an F820 that will be used for MS Exchange archiving of PST. The product use is Enterprise Vault for Exchange by KVInc. I'm finding out more details about the product but is basically stores PST in compress single instance. Is anyone currently using the product? Any 'gotchas' or specific requirement setup on the Filer? thanks, Marcus Bui

The quickest way to resolve the below is to just schedule downtime and reboot the filer. The backup jobs that died poorly on the client side, which didn't let the filer know they were broken will then be cleared on the filer side as well. This type of problem caused by the client's backup job dying poorly is better handled in later version of OnTap.

more virus scan questions
by David Papas 14 Apr '03

14 Apr '03

Got a question regarding the "scan failures" numbers revealed in the "vscan" command. Does anyone know if these logged failures represent: 1) A failure to contact the virus server upon a scan request. 2) The virus server is contactable and registered and all, but fails to actually scan the file for whatever reason. 3) A combination of these and possibly some other statistics I'm overlooking? Thanks all, -D.

As far as I know, you can't do two telnet sessions. What you can do is an `rsh filer sysstat` and a telnet session.

Using a filer for AFS storage
by frank marxs 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

Has anyone succeeded in running AFS while using a Filer as storage? Wondering if anyone has experience running AFS filesystem which use an filer / NFS export as their primary storage ? I want to try AFS exporting a filesystem / volume which is being NFS mounted from a filer ? We have spare filers with lots of spare disk space ... and for a variety of reasons management is insisting that this next project use AFS for more security. I would like to know if I can have my AFS server use the filer for disk space, and give me an AFS export to my AFS clients... Any thoughts on feasibility, or potential problems? In this scenario the Filer would have an export dedicated only to the AFS server [potentially on a private network] and the AFS server would be the only system with any control / access to that NFS mount. NFS export AFS export Filer ------------->SUN / IBM / AFS server -----------> AFS Client Mounting NFS Storage Exporting via AFS Can AFS export a filesystem it's mounting via NFS, or does AFS need some sort of raw or device level control to it's filesystem / partition?

AFS server from Filer
by frank marxs 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

Has anyone here ever succeeded in having an AFS server [OpenAFS or other] use a filer for it's storage? I need to do secure AFS file sharing for a variety of reasons, and am wondering if there's a way I can use the free space I have on my filers as storage for this AFS exports? I'm thinking of NFS exporting this storage to an AFS server and letting the AFS server re-export this data via AFS.

Gxs EDISwitch using NFS on filer
by Garrett Burke 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

Hi, We are invetigating running Gxs (Global Exchange Services) EDISwitch enterprise ver 7.5 on HPUX-11i mounting its DB directory via NFS onto a filer. While we can get read rates of 8M/s and write of 6.5M/s for flat files on a lightly loaded 840c, when trying to load the EDISwitch app it is taking approx 20 mins to load ~2GB of DB info (~1.7MB/s). The majority of the 2GB is split across 7 data files. The files are on a newly created volume of 7x36GB disks with no other data on it. Is anyone running EDISwitch with its DB NFS mounted? If so, what config do you have r.e. mount options on HPUX box, filer config and LAN (Jumbo frames?) Gxs says that this is a supported config, but the above rate makes it unusable.

Dear, Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since we have not met, permit me however, I am Mr. tony Francis, a Zimbabwean Farmer. I am contacting you as the need to for me to have a foreign partner in your country has become necessary due to my plans to relocate and establish a private company in that region, as the present political instability in my country Zimbabwe, does not encourage financial investment as the environment is not conducive for investment and most of all security is not insured, just as reported by international media. This problem started when the Zimbabwean government under the leadership of President Robert Mugabe announced a degree on May 31st 2000 to seize more than 849 white-owned farms. So far, more than 1,400 white owned farms have been invaded and confiscated, as well as claiming the properties of the farmers. During these periods, as reported by international media and the CNN, more than 6 white farmers were killed, the government is not stopping at this, as just recently the government have asked all white-farmers to give up their farms to black farmers or risk going to prison. Having lived in this country Zimbabwe for more than 35 years, I have no other country to go to, nor can I trace any of my distant relatives. Therefore, I decided to contact you, for your assistance, so that I can establish a company in your country and relocate there. Also, I must re-iterate the importance of having a citizen of your country to front as the owner of the enterprise, due to the fact that I am a foreigner. For this purpose, I have put in a security deposit all monies from the sale of my farm and farming equipments (including tractors etc) which amounted to US$14.5Million, I will upon receiving your consent prepare every document to enable you receive this money on my behalf, pending my arrival to meet with you in your country so that we can both make further arrangements with regards to establishing the company. As a partner you will be entitled to 20% stake in whichever company that you both decide to establish when I arrive your country. I am waiting urgently for your response. Cheers and God bless.

We use legato to backup over NFS mounts and it works perfectly. Note: must be hard mounts, not automounter. In fact, we have just installed and R100 and R150 to do staging via legato. The idea being we suck the data on to the R100 quickly and then move it onto tape at our leisure. Snapvault is going to fit in there for fast retrieval.

Peoplesoft cache
by Bui, Marcus 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

Hello Toasters, I ran into a weird problem with Peoplesoft (PS). The client run PS from the Citrix Metaframe 1.8 server with the PS database on the Unix Server. The client cache folder resides on F760c (ONTAP 6.3.1R1, Gig NIC). The cache folder has the client's configuration settings when the app is started. With this setup, it takes about 5minutes to load the app and 100MB of traffic exchange between the Filer and the Citrix server. Even though the cache folder only has about 1.5MB of files. I'm not an expert in decoding network traces but it show a lot retransmission packets size of 1.4MB with no data. But when I moved the cache folder to another NT server or Filer F820 (ONTAP 6.3.1R1, Gig NIC), the app loads in 10secs. Any ideas? thanks, Marcus Bui

Re: converting a directory to a qtree (fwd)
by Haynes, Tom 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

I was told this never made it to the list. If it is the case that it made the list, but was blocked at NetApp, please excuse the noise. Most move algorithms are: move(old, new) if (!rename(old, new)) { copy(old, new) if (is_dir(old)) { foreach entry in old { move(old/entry, new/entry) } delete(old) } In pre-6.4 systems, we always failed a rename() for directories and files between qtrees. In 6.4 systems, we allow renames() for files across qtrees, but not directories across qtrees. A rename() results in the inode and none of the data nodes, being modified. Thus a 10G file gets moved as fast or as slow as a 1k file. Allowing the rename() of the dir adds too much complexity in that we would have to handle atomicity, recovery, users modifying subdirs, multiple hard links inside the directory (detecting whether it stayed within the tree or not), and so on. Handling just the files reduces the majority of the IO with a resulting savings in time and space. I.e., the inode is all that changed, so that the snapshot ends up with about 4 dirty blocks and not effectively 2 per data block in the file. BTW: The FSF implementation of mv, as seen in most Linux distros, etc, has an optimization which states that if a directory can not be renamed, then its children can also not be renamed.

Even if you use the unix "mv" command, when crossing a qtree boundary mv must copy and delete. Since you have limited free space, you may need to copy and delete each mailbox individually. If you are using snapshots, this will obviously gobble up most if not all of your snapshot reserve, so you may need to delete all your snapshots beforehand.

Legato and NDMP
by Gavin Kelman 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

We've just received a nice new F825, which we're trying to integrate into our exsiting Legato Networker backup system. I've been speaking to our Legato support, but they're not getting very far, and each day that passes is another day for us without backups. We have a Quantum ATL1500 jukebox directly attached (Robot controller and one drive) to a Sun box, which is a Legato storage node. The 2nd SCSI drive is connected to the back of our F825, which picks it up fine, and is configured as an NDMP device in Networker. Now, the problem is, Networker complains that it can't establish an NDMP connection to the F825, even tho NDMP is enabled on the F825, and I've double-checked the username is root and the password is correct. Attempting to do an inventory in nwadmin fails on either device in the jukebox. Also, NDMP doesn't do incrementals the normal way, so I was thinking of just backing up the F825 over the NFS mounts, but I hear that's not a good idea with Legato. We're running DOT 6.3.1r1 and Legato Networker 6.1.3. Anyone have any suggestions, apart from "stop using Legato"?

RE: Security on Win2k

Thanks to all who responded. Pls check this fix in ONTAP 6.4.R1: * 91117 Incorrect permission check when creating a file from CIFS Regards, Bill -----Original Message----- From: Mike Sphar [mailto:mike.sphar@Remedy.COM] Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2003 8:22 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: Security on Win2k This doesn't sound correct to me. Have you actually tested it? In windows network permissions, share permissions are applied first, then individual file or directory ACLs are applied, and the most restrictive permissions always apply. So if a share is read-only to a user, then even if all the files in that share are writeable by everyone, then that user should not be able to update those files or create any new files or directories in that share. I would be very surprised to find that Netapp was not emulating the standard windows file server behavior in this case. -- Mike Sphar - Sr Systems Administrator - Remedy, a BMC Software Company -----Original Message----- From: Bill Bello [mailto:Bill.Bello@hds.com] Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2003 6:46 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Security on Win2k All, A question has come up in our lab on the subject. If 'read only' is set on the filer for a CIFS share, a user can still have full rights to that share IF security is NOT set in Win2k as well. Has anyone figured a way to make the share secure from the filer only? Thanks in advance.
