Try changing the mandatory_scan option to off. From the command line enter "vscan options mandatory_scan off" . -----Original Message----- From: Steve Evans [mailto:sevans@foundation.sdsu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 11:36 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: TrendMicro Antivirus We have TrendMicro Server Protect for NetApp. It's okay, but I'm worried about the reliablity. Is there a way to have a filer turn of virus scanning if there are no longer any registered Anti-Virus scanners? We had the TrendMicro service fail during a dat update and nobody was able to read or write from the Filer until I got in that morning and realized what was going on.

snapshot issue
by Fahy, Michael 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

Our webmaster, who gets email every day, reported this morning that her inbox was missing all messages received after June 10. the inbox is in a /var/mail filesystem mounted from a filer. Assuming that her inbox had gotten corrupted since yesterday, I looked at the snapshots to find one that had her recently received messages. [/var/mail/.snapshot/hourly.0] ls -l mthomas -rw-rw---- 1 mthomas mail 14482423 Aug 27 08:13 mthomas [/var/mail/.snapshot/hourly.1] ls -l mthomas -rw-rw---- 1 mthomas mail 14482423 Jun 10 12:21 mthomas Note that the file from the hourly.1 snapshot appears to be the same file as the one from the hourly.0 snapshot but it has a June 10 date. All the other snapshots also have the June 10 date. Has anyone seen anything like this with snapshots?

XP password woes into NetApp/NIS
by David Lee 22 Aug '02

22 Aug '02

Executive summary: o Two fileservers: one Solaris, other NetApp. Common NIS authentication. o Two clients: one W2K, other XP. Both "plaintext enabled" (for NIS). o W2K connects happily to both servers: XP fails to connect to NetApp. Detail: We are migrating our users' home directories from a Sun/Solaris fileserver to a NetApp (ONTAP 6.1.2R1). Both servers authenticate into a common NIS domain (passwords being in a usual Solaris-style "passwd.adjunct" map). We have hundreds of W2K clients. Using NIS means having their registry tweaked to use plaintext passwords (horrible, I know). This has all been working satisfactorily for months/years. Recently we have also had a small number of Windows XP clients. Until now, these have all (successfully) been connecting to the Solaris server. But the migration of data towards NetApp now means, for the first time, these XPs attempting to connect to the NetApp (same NIS domain). This fails (still OK against Solaris) with: System error 86 has occured The specified network password is not correct. This one has us stumped! Is there a known problem here? -- : David Lee I.T.

When you say you experienced it yourself, what exactly did you see? Was it reproducible with iozone? What were the numbers? -----Original Message----- In our environment, YMMV, Solaris (100mb) to NetApp (100mb) works fine over UDP. Solaris (100mb) to NetApp (gigabit) was horribly slow for certain operations. Normal file reads were fine, but a compare (`cmp`) of two files from the same filer were unbelievably slow. A cmp that would take 15 seconds to the 100mb interface of the NetApp would take an hour or more to the gigabit interface. To get Sun to actually admit it was their problem, we did a Solaris (100mb) to Solaris (gigabit) test over UDP, and it took 5minutes or so. Not as bad as to NetApp, but bad enough for them to file a bug, which Sun Engineering ignored since there is a work-around (use TCP or the 100mb interface of the filer). This was with Solaris 8. Solaris 7 did not have this problem in our environment. Since nearly all our clients are 100mb, and only our QA group was running into this, we set their automount entries to point to the 100mb interface.

One plea, from the heart: If your site has seen performance issues on NFS between Suns and NetApps please, please log support calls with Sun, NetApp and the switch vendors. And don't let any of them off the hook until you get patches, workarounds explanations and reliable performance all the time. It'll help everyone else - particularly of you have the chutzpah to drive the calls hard and make lots of noise. When this stuff gets back to the engineering groups *then* and *only* then will the decent work get done. Sorry if this is egg-sucking 101, but I find, as a conslutant (or whatever you want to call me) that people are way too backward about pushing the vendors, and far too willing to just moan to friends. This Sun-NetApp discussion crops up again and again on this list, and it's obviously a real bugbear for lots of people, so I'd like to get it squished once and for all. Message ends. -- -Mark ... an Englishman in Delft ...

RE: secure filer access
by Ehrhart, Rick 20 Aug '02

The 'options <protocol>.enable' command enables and disables the <protocol>. With ONTAP 6.2, there is a new feature called protocol access control which allows you to control access to a particular protocol. Check out na_protocolaccess(8) for more details; but the general syntax is: 'options <protocol>.access <access_spec> [[AND|OR <access_spec>] ... ]' where <access_spec> is: host [= | != ] <host_spec> if [= | != ] <network interface spec> legacy none all <host_spec> is a comma-separated list of host names or IP addresses <network interface spcec> is a comma-separated list of network interface names. The legacy keyword means use the old method for control. For telnet and httpd.admin, it is telnet.hosts. However, if you disable telnet, then trusted.hosts is not looked at. The same goes for httpd.admin. To answer the original question: "I'm trying to configure ssh/https admin access from any host to a filer, but no telnet, no http admin" Try this: options ssh.enable on options ssl.enable on options telent.enable off options httpd.admin.enable off The 'options http.enable off' command will disable http access, not http admin access. You do need SecureAdmin installed as well. > -----Original Message----- > From: Piotr KUCHARSKI [mailto:chopin@sgh.waw.pl] > Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 11:17 AM > To: toasters(a)mathworks.com > Cc: Moritz Willers > Subject: Re: secure filer access > > > On Wed, Aug 14, 2002 at 05:34:30PM +0100, Moritz Willers wrote: > > I'm trying to configure ssh/https admin access from any > host to a filer, > > but no telnet, no http admin > > You need to have SecureAdmin installed and then options: > ssh.enable on > ssl.enable on > httpd.enable off [1] > telnet.enable off > > Plus perhaps trusted.hosts > > and rsh access from one host only (the admin host). > > That I don't know, I use 'option rsh.enable off' > > p. > > [1] Hm, not sure if I still need these options: > httpd.access legacy > httpd.admin.access host=adm.ho.st.ip > httpd.admin.enable on These options above state: 1. for the HTTP protocol, use legacy, which means access is allowed for all users. 2. for administrative HTTP, only the host adm.ho.st.ip is allowed access.

Oracle using NetApp
by Robin Winslett 20 Aug '02

20 Aug '02

Has anyone got experience with running Oracle on NetApp filers? I am looking for information for a project I am involved in. 1. How does performance really stack up compared with a DAS or SAN solution? Does the IP stack -vs- SCSI stack cause a significant performance lag? 2. Are there compelling reasons why this would be a preferred solution? 3. Are there compelling reasons why this solution should be avoided? 4. What are the gotchas of such a solution? Are there configuration issues that can trip you up? I've read the whitepapers on the NetApp and Oracle sites. I am looking for someone though that has actually done this. Thanks, Robin winslett(a)ev1.net
