Password recovery in a cluster
by Brian Tao 10 Sep '02

10 Sep '02

Anyone know if the method outlined in 3.0.1379841.2577228 (http://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=3.0.1379841.2577228) for password recovery is supposed while in a cluster? I'm thinking there may be a caveat, because the recovery procedure involves writing to the boot blocks of the filer's drives, which in a failover situation is owned by the partner. Cluster is a pair of F740s running 6.1.2R1. Thanks. -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob(a)risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"

Cluster software, homegrown scripts or manual failover for oracle /netapp env -- any real world processes people want to share?
by Art Hebert 05 Sep '02

05 Sep '02

Currently our failover process is a manual one based on the scenario that our primary production server has gone down and the netapp server and database is ok. The process is tested and works very well. The cons is that its not an automatic solution but we can get the system back up in less than 30 minutes after being alerted at random any time of the day. Interested in what others are doing. art

limit to number of files in a directory

05 Sep '02

Hi all, are there any limits to the maximum number of files (or subdirectories) a Netapp NFS mounted directory can handle? In our case (if it matters) we are looking at Linux 2.4.18 using NFS v3/tcp to a Netapp running 6.1.2R3. We are thinking of a directory with 500,000+ files in it.

2 part tape question
by Jeff Kennedy 05 Sep '02

05 Sep '02

Part the First: I have a Vixel switch that is attached to the library via fiber. The filers plug into the Vixel and each filer sees all 6 drives, but not each other. I can assign all 6 drives to a single filer but I can't assign them to any of the others. I know this sounds like SSO but it's really much simpler. All I want is to use a robotic drive number for 2 different filers. I'm not looking for NBU to figure out anything or manage connections. The goal is to stagger schedules and allow each filer to use all 6 drives when it's their turn. Part the Second: Has anyone done a multi-tape snapmirror using robotics? Currently I have to unmount the media and mount a new media for snapmirror to finish. I would like to snapmirror a 400gb volume to tape (it would use about 7 tapes) without having to do a manual unload/load at the end of each tape. Thanks. -- ===================== Jeff Kennedy Unix Administrator AMCC jlkennedy(a)amcc.com

netgroup file ?
by Frank Bonnet 05 Sep '02

05 Sep '02

hi we are migrating from NIS to LDAP as OnTap does not support native LDAP I have setup a NIS-LDAP gateway. I plan to use that gateway as NIS server to let the filer grab users UIDs. My question concerns the "netgroup" file that is actually propagated from our old NIS server, the NIS gateway is not able to propagate that map. Should I put it in the /etc directory of the filer to be used by it ? according I modify the nsswitch.conf file like the following netgroup: files thanks -- Frank Bonnet

Netapp hard drive tests
by steve＠hq.newdream.net 04 Sep '02

04 Sep '02

Does anyone actually know what tests Network Appliance hard drives get put through before they get the NetApp stamp of approval? Someone mentioned they reject like 30% of their drives. Is that true? Because that number seems pretty high to me. If it so, I would like to know exactly what tests they use (and what figures they use) to determine whether or not to reject a drive. Steve

informix on a filer
by Jeff Kennedy 03 Sep '02

03 Sep '02

I know there has recently been a flurry of mails regarding Oracle on a filer but is anyone running Informix on one? I ask because there are alot of issues with the whole Informix/Onbar kludge that we are running into in an effort to evaluate this. Netapp has been involved in the preliminary discussions and will be in the future as well but I wanted to get an idea from real people in the real world as to the problems you solved and others you ran into. Here's a primer of what we think are the benefits: 1) snapshots - much faster than tape backup, takes minimal disk space 2) snapmirror - easy DR 3) snaprestore - fast recovery from an archive (snapshot) for testing and/or devel 4) snapvault - able to take snapshots every 5 minutes (avoid logical logs altogether) and migrate them to R100, increased retention period due to minimal space requirements 5) system recovery - data resides on filer so cpu becomes a FRU Here are a couple of issues/questions regarding the above: Can all Informix data (i.e., database, binaries, etc.) reside on nfs leaving only system files on the cpu (i.e. system, services, vfstab)? Can snapshots every 5 minutes really replace logical logs if 5 minutes is an acceptable point-in-time recovery period? Can snapshots be used to get a reliable backup without quiescing the database? In the event that logical logs are still required we would write them to mirrored internal drives. Has anyone managed to write these logs to nfs? Thanks. -- ===================== Jeff Kennedy Unix Administrator AMCC jlkennedy(a)amcc.com

qtree Move Between Vols
by Ed Alexander 29 Aug '02

29 Aug '02

I apologize in advance if this is in a FAQ or in the archives. I couldn't find an answer there, so... I've just brought a new vol on-line and need to move some qtrees off other vols that are filling up. All vols are attached to a single F820 and my admin host is running Solaris 8. What is the best (read: fastest) way to move a qtree between vols? The qtrees I'm moving are between 5 and 65 Gb in size. I've looked at ndmpcopy on the ndmp.org site. It's intended for moves between filers, but should work fine for moves within the same filer. Also, the site claims it's been tested on Solaris 2.5.1. Have others compiled and used it on Solaris 8? Are there other viable options besides ndmpcopy? I'd appreciate any advice from others who have gone down this road. TIA.

Hmmm.... another thought. You asked: > Hi all, are there any limits to the maximum number of files (or > subdirectories) a Netapp NFS mounted directory can handle? There's a bound specifically on the number of subdirectories that I didn't mention. The link count on the parent directory is limited to 65535, which means no more than 65533 subdirectories. (Some Unix filing systems use signed shorts for the link count, but ONTAP uses unsigned ones.) Chris Thompson Email: cet1(a)cam.ac.uk
