RE: Migrating NT directories...
by pkeim(contr-ird) 22 Mar '02

22 Mar '02

We've had much success using robocopy version 1.95 available in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit. From the console of the source NT 4 or W2K server, map the Z:\ drive to the appropriate volume on the filer. To avoid fragmentation, move the data in two steps -- The /CREATE switch creates a directory tree structure containing zero-length files only. The second pass actually copies the data to the destination. The /SEC switch preserves NTFS permissions. Here's an example . . . PASS ONE robocopy "F:\folderA" "Z:\Accounting_TOP\folderA" /E /SEC /CREATE /R:3 /W:1 /V /LOG:folderA1.TXT PASS TWO robocopy "F:\folderA" "Z:\Accounting_TOP\folderA" /E /SEC /R:3 /W:1 /V /LOG:folderA2.TXT -----Original Message----- From: Don.Hickey(a)alcatel.com [mailto:Don.Hickey@alcatel.com] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 9:08 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Migrating NT directories...

R100 Price?
by 張自光 22 Mar '02

22 Mar '02

From what I heard from NetApp sales and managers for the past few months, it seems the new NearStore product line will be a cost-effective, low-performance, large capacity filer designated for near-line storage. However, I just downloaded the newest Quoter from the NOW site. The new Quoter indicated that an R100-12TB preconfigured is priced for nearly USD$330,000(Wow!!!). Is this an error of the new Quoter? Or, NetApp executives really think they can use this AMAZING price to compete with other nearline storage devices? *Sigh* Regards, -- Allen TK.

RE: mrtg and filers

Well thank you John ;) Neil: Here's where you can see what I am monitoring on my filer with MRTG: http://redhook.univ-wea.com/mrtg/ <http://redhook.univ-wea.com/mrtg/> Pike is the name of the filer.... The first two images are the plain vanilla traffic analysis that you get when you run 'perl cfgmaker public(a)blah.blah.blah <mailto:public@blah.blah.blah> etc...' The next five are CPU utilization, CIFS Sessions and three different volume usage charts. You can see the section of my cfg file for those 5 charts here: http://redhook.univ-wea.com/mrtg/pike_mrtg.txt <http://redhook.univ-wea.com/mrtg/pike_mrtg.txt> You can use this as a reference, the MRTG config file format: http://iserv.nl/traffic/mrtg-conf.html <http://iserv.nl/traffic/mrtg-conf.html> The OID's on my config file are currently correct and working; two weeks ago (a friday evening) I was upgrading a carrier scanner for Pike (can't remember which one it was - molson or modelo - they are now identical) and Pike panicked and rebooted. It came back fine and I went home. When Pike rebooted, a couple of OID's for monitoring the volumes changed. I did not get a chance to fix the problem until I came back a week later (I was in Dallas for a Cisco class that week). You can see the change here: http://redhook.univ-wea.com/mrtg/pike.homes.html <http://redhook.univ-wea.com/mrtg/pike.homes.html> Look at the monthly graph and you'll see what I mean...

Hidden Commands?

Hello Toasters. Please forgive the stupidity of this post, but I've got to ask. Why is it that commands like, rdfile, do not apper in the OnTap admin guide or the command references? Is this a "taboo" command? OnTap online help (ie: help command) doesn't list it either. How many other commands like this are there, and why isn't it listed among other commands? brockwood(a)homestead-inc.com

RE: SQL I/O error
by Lella Bennett 21 Mar '02

21 Mar '02

As a quick follow-up, I'd like to clarify some of my comments below. First, it is my belief from doing extensive research into this problem that it is a Microsoft problem, not a problem with the functionality of the NetApp filer. Also, Network Appliance does provide a solution to this particular problem using their SnapDrive product. We participated in the beta testing of this product and we believe that it does in fact solve the error 59 problem with SQL Server. However, we have chosen not to implement SnapDrive at our site because of the overhead needed to run snapshots (50% of usable disk space) and in order to realize the increased performance of SnapDrive, we would have to do some extensive network re-engineering that at this time is not cost effective for us to do. Sincerely sorry if I misled anyone regarding our experience.

In fact, this error is the reason we ended up removing our production databases from netapp filers. We've gone round and round with both NetApp and Microsoft on this issue and the bottom line is this: this error is due to the fact that the SQL traffic is going through the TCP/IP stack. Evidently, there is some latency that SQL server experiences while trying to communicate with the data file and the SQL server thinks that it's lost the connection and throws this error, marks the database suspect, etc... The other reason why this error may occur is that you've reached the maximum number of threads available. If this is the case, you will see an error in the NT event log referring to this. You can increase the number of available threads using a reg hack. If it's not caused by the threads issue, then I can't help ya.

So, obviously, the big question is where do i find a list of all the "ninja commands"? One thing I've always wanted in Filers was the ability to maintain a filer without having to mount the filesystem (root) from an adminstation. Is there a "cd" or "ls" command for admins? Even with rdfile you have to know where the files are. A much more advanced shell on the Filers would be very very nice.

I've always thought of these commands being analogous to the Windows/NT Resource Kits. They are very useful and powerful, but poorly documented, and unsupported - unless you are being walked through using them with support, they need to be used with caution.

The funny thing is that rdfile is as tame as it gets from a command standpoint, and does not require priv set advance (rc_toggle_basic). I also wonder how many Netapp owners do not know about the "hidden" commands? So, if the intention is to keep us from messing up by using such, maybe they should have used a more complex "secret handshake". --sam -----Original Message----- From: Chris Blackmor [mailto:chris.blackmor@amd.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 2:21 PM To: Mike Horwath Cc: Chris Blackmor; Ben Rockwood; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Hidden Commands? rc_toggle_basic Is that what you are looking for?
