optimum setting for Solaris8 and nfs/netapps
by Daniel Finn 30 Oct '02

30 Oct '02

What are the best options to use when trying to get the best performance and good stability out of a Solaris8 server mounting volumes via nfs from a F740/F760? Thanks Dan I've already made sure that the network connection for the Solaris server is 100MB fdx.

If what you're looking to do is make it forget that it's part of a cluster, you can try the following (which worked for us on some 760c's - I've never used/seen a 600 series though).

NetApp NDMP backup session benchmarks
by Broughton, Paul PM SITI-IT-DIETS 30 Oct '02

30 Oct '02

Fellow Members, We are looking at upgrading our backup environment having added a couple of NetApps F880 filers with +/-10TB of data recently. We already have a SAN storage island, so are looking at SAN attaching a STK L700E jukebox (housing either LTO drives or possibly 9940B drives), and linking the NetApp filers to the SAN also, thus allowing us to associate drives with Filers as needed. Initially, we then expect to use Legato to control NDMP sessions to enable the dump of the NetApp volumes to tape. My question is whether their are other Networkers who have similar conceptual solutions who can give an idea of the read/write throughputs we could expect for a single NDMP session, and what limitations/drawbacks there are when using NDMP. Any experiences welcomed, Best regards, Paul Broughton Email: paul.broughton(a)shell.com Internet: http://www.shell.com

Hello - new (old) F630 owner
by Dan O'Brien 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

We recently became caretaker of a new to us F630. This unit has 6 disk shelves, each shelf loaded with 9GB drives. We had NetApps come in and set it up (recertify it) after it was shipped to us from GB (we are in Ohio). Everything went fine except we had a couple of bad power supplies and a bad SCSI cable to one of the shelves. We are now looking at maintaining the hardware ourselves. We are planning on securing some spare parts and build a small hot spare system from which we can pull parts as needed. Anyone have any suggestions as new owners of a F630? We have lots of Unix and PC experience, but this is the first hands on with a NetApps. (BTW: why is NetApps so secretive with info on their web site? Docs, manuals, specs, are all highly guarded with logins, passwords, etc.) Cheers, Dan O'Brien, dmobrien(a)lcsi.net Cell: 614-783-4859 Work: 614-476-8473 Home: 740-927-2178 Pataskala, OH

RE: CIFS access slow
by Mike Ball 28 Oct '02

Simon, Did you change anything on your network recently? Are you doing auto negotiation on the Ethernet ports on the Netapp? If so, force them and the switch port to 100Mbit full duplex (unless you are using Gigabit Ethernet which you will leave as Auto negotiate). Run "ifstat -a" on the Netapp and see if you have excessive errors/collisions on a interface. Run tracert from the machines having slow access to the Netapp and see if they are going through any unusual hops.

RE: NBU 3.4 report tape drive status down occasionally caused bac kup to fail
by Conner, Neil 28 Oct '02

28 Oct '02

Check the All Log Entries report in NetBackup and syslog on the filer to find out why the tape drives are being downed - this should not be happening. You can't prevent NetBackup from downing drives, but you can change the number of errors that will cause a drive to be downed (3 by default). Search the KB on the Veritas web site for details. If it's not something you can easily solve, there is a script available called drivewatch.cmd which will you can add to the NT task scheduler to periodically check for downed drives and automatically "up" them again. http://www.xbpadm-commands.com/download.htm <http://www.xbpadm-commands.com/download.htm> Neil -----Original Message----- From: Alfred Lim [mailto:alf1650@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 7:41 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: NBU 3.4 report tape drive status down occasionally caused backup to fail Hi everyone, Does any one ever encounter this before?

migrating filers between windows 2000 domains
by Kumar, Rahul 25 Oct '02

25 Oct '02

Hi, Has anyone sucessfully migrated filers from Windows 2000 Mixed mode domain eg. abc.com to a newly created Windows 2000 Native Mode domain eg. "gbc.com". We have migrated all the users from abc.com to the new domain gbc.com. Migrating computers is also underway sucessfully using aelita DMW tools. Now as far as we tried on a filer version 6.1.1 ,migrating filers between windows 2000 domains deletes all the shares and corrupts all the permissions. Wondering what will happen to ACLS of Terabytes of data. SIDHist of all the users are being maintained while they were migrated.. Only these toasters are left.. Netapp documentation also doesnt help much except for telling about about support for Windows 2000 Active Directory native mode in regarsd to migrating between domains. Any kind of help will really appreciated. Rahul EDS PLM Solutions

Veritas Netbackup 4.5 - browsing filer resources over NDMP
by Jacek Nogala 23 Oct '02

23 Oct '02

Last two days we spent on configuration of Veritas Netbackup 4.5 for NDMP backups of NetApp filer. It is not simple task because documentation on this topis is very obscure. However we managed to work NDMP backups and restores in two different scenarios. But there is one feature unclear for me: Defining backup policies one should type source of backup (AFAIK only volumes and qtrees are allowed). There is browse button that should enable browsing of filer resources but it does not seem to work. Sniffer shows that NB is trying to locate resources over Veritas proprietary TCP ports not NDMP. Is there any way to make it using NDMP or the only way is to type the full path manually?

I hope my letter does not cause you too much embarrassment as I write to you in good faith. Please excuse my intrusion into you business life. My name is Jackson Moyo, the elder son of Mr.Dennnis Moyo from the Republic of Zimbabwe. During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters of President Robert Mugabe,in his effort to chase all the white farmers out of the country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and his Followers. My father was one of the most successful farmer in my country, but he did not support the idea of dispossessing the white farmers of their land. Because of this, his farm was invaded and burnt by government supporters. In the course of the attack, my father was killed, and the invaders made away with a lot of items from my Father?s farm. And our family house was utterly destroyed. My mother died too out of heart attack. Before the death of my father, he drew my attention to the sum of US$10MILLION, Which he deposited with a Security Company in Amsterdam when the crisis was coming up. My sister and I decided to move out of Zimbabwe for our own security, because our lives were in danger. We decided to move to the Amsterdam, The Netherlands where my father deposited this money. Till date, the security company is not aware of the content of the consignment because my father used his diplomatic immunity as at that time to deposit the consignment as important personal valuables.I decided to have contact with overseas person/firm who will assist me to move the money out of Amsterdam. This becomes necessary because as political asylum seekers, we are not allowed to own or operate a bank account. If you accept this proposal, you shall receive 20% of the entire amount for assisting us to move this money out, 75% of this amount shall be for us, and the remaining 5% shall be mapped out for expenses incurred in the course of the transaction. I want you to immediately confirm your interest in the project via my fax number, as soon as I get your response, I will give you more details on how we can proceed. Thanks for your anticipated cooperation. I await your Urgent response Best regards, JACKSON MOYO

tape backup with overland librarypro
by steve＠hq.newdream.net 16 Oct '02

16 Oct '02

we recently purchased an overland librarypro AIT3 tape backup unit and wanted to know the most cost effective software solution for backing up over NDMP. We have a price quote for NetVault but they seem very pricey especially when we'll be backing up multiple filers. In particular, I'd like to hear others success/horror stories pertaining to the other ndmp backup softwares listed on ndmp.org. Also, is there any free ndmp solution available that works reliably with Netapps (and tape units) connected directly to them? Thanks, Steve

I am running NetApp Release 6.2.1 Every hour ( 3602 seconds to be pricise) one of my filers logs this: [registry_control:warning]: option cifs.audit.membufsize: Value (4096) is out of range (10240 to 262144), using 65536 instead. Does anyone now what might be causing this ? Pawel --
