RE: Is there a way to tell who is mapping specific filer cifs sha res?
by Seth Moskowitz 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this or not but thought I would mention it since I see people mentioning the "cifs sessions" command. We have clustered 840's twice when the command was run it locked up the filer head and sent us into failover. I am not sure it has happened since upgrading to 6.0.1R1 but just thought I would mention it. >From: "Muhlestein, Mark" <mark.muhlestein(a)netapp.com> >To: "'Monica Lam'" <Monica.Lam(a)cosinecom.com>, "'toasters(a)mathworks.com'" > <toasters(a)mathworks.com> >Subject: RE: Is there a way to tell who is mapping specific filer cifs sha >res? >Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 11:27:31 -0800 > >I don't know of a way to directly do it, but using rsh you could do "cifs >sessions *" then parse the output to see which shares are in use for each >user.

RE: RSH problem on NT 4.0

Uros, A problem has been detected with some changes in rsh code in NT4 SP6. Please refer to the following article for Microsoft hotfix. Q243835 How to Prevent Predictable TCP/IP Initial Sequence Numbers http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q243/8/35.asp <http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q243/8/35.asp> We have added a workaround for this issue from our side, and this can be handled by a kernel patch (will be added to one of our next releases by default) which you can track thru bug number 33682. The best for you though would be to apply the Windows hotfix than to change anything on the filer.

F760 Config for Oracle
by Duane Schultz 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

We're moving to NetApp storage for our Oracle database (Sun E6500) and have a single F760 with 4 36GB shelves - about 1TB raw (I know usable storage will be way less than this). We will be moving to a cluster in about 4 months, but wish to use as a semi-live development environment in the meantime. What is a recommended volume configuration for this sort of situation ? Current thoughts on our end are two physical volumes, two shelves in each, and split each physical volume into two qtrees/mountpoints. Once we have the cluster partner, we would expect to move one of the physical volumes to the new head, and spread load across them.

Adopting Mac Clients
by Collins, Jim 07 Mar '01

07 Mar '01

I would like to pose a question. Has anyone had to incorporate Mac clients into an NT domain from Novell ? Using a Netapp filer as the storage medium for such. I am looking at moving these clients files from a Novell server to the Netapp. I have read the 'NT' material on what needs to be done as far as the files being put on an 'NT' server. But am unsure of what needs to be done to make it work with Netapp. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Jim Collins S&C Electtric Company Chicago IL

Excluding files from NDMP backup
by Tom "Mad Dog" Yergeau 07 Mar '01

07 Mar '01

Is there a way to exclude files from an NDMP backup? By this I'm asking both (1) A subdirectory of a volume or qtree that's being backed up (2) Files with specific extensions (e.g. *.pst files so you don't back up Exchange email archives) We're using Veritas NetBackup 3.4. Thanks, MD

RE: Adopting Mac Clients
by Tom "Mad Dog" Yergeau 07 Mar '01

If you're running ONTAP 5.x, start using DAVE, and then upgrade to 6.x, note that according to the "possible upgrade issues" for going to 6.0.x is If your filer is accessed by Macintosh computers using the DAVE client from Thursby Systems, the DAVE client starts using the new streams feature when this release of Data ONTAP is installed, and information that was stored in special resource.frk files is lost. To solve this problem, you should run the na_macstream program from a Windows client after the upgrade to this release of Data ONTAP is completed and before DAVE clients access any files. Instructions for obtaining, installing, and running the na_macstream program are included in the Start Here.

In the first case, there are several third party NFS client software apps for Mac that work well. The DAVE client from Thursby systems is one that I'm familiar with. Remember that this requires an NFS license on the Filer and means you have to manage an NFS style database or mapping to the NT domain. The other case requires you to put the Mac clients in the NT domain and map the drives from the Mac directly. Two ways to look at this: 1) "Force" the Macs to "talk/interpret" in the NT space. 2) "Force" the NT domain server to "talk/interpret" for the Macs. The second option requires much overhead because you need to "reshare" the Filer's NT shares through the NT server with Mac services. (Remember - you can't install Mac services for NT on the Filer). On an additional note... The latest Macintosh OS (version 10) is built on a UNIX kernel and has the NFS client built into it. So the NFS solution may be best for the future.

Hello Jim, Many customers use a CIFS client from Thursby Software called Dave. Thursby also offer an NFS client. www.thursby.com Other than that, you'd need to use an NFS to AFP gateway product. We've not tested any of them but I do know that there are customers using some of these solutions (not in any specific order): 1) Apple OS X server (the command line version, which has been available for some time now) *might* be able to function as a gateway. 2) NetATalk is an open source AFP server 3) Helios Ethershare www.helios.de On a smaller scale, the Dave client is probably your best solution. There are no CIFS to AFP gateways that I've ever heard of. Microsoft SFM (Services for Macintosh), which ships with NT & Win2K, can't be fooled into using NAS as back end storage. :( Regards, Paul Benn Network Appliance -----Original Message----- From: Collins, Jim [mailto:JCollins@sandc.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2001 7:16 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Adopting Mac Clients I would like to pose a question.

Well, a centralized monitoring tool is in development right now at NetApp, but another easier approach would be to leverage auditing on shares, possibly tracking on "successful mounting of a share" events. That way, you would know each time a share is mounted, who did it, etc. -----Original Message----- From: Monica Lam [mailto:Monica.Lam@cosinecom.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2001 11:05 AM To: 'White, Lance'; 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: RE: Is there a way to tell who is mapping specific filer cifs sha res?
