Time to upgrade to Ontap 6
by Dianna Mullet 06 Mar '01

06 Mar '01

A few months ago Netapp had me run a tool called WAT to determine whether or not my filers (F760's) could be upgraded to 6.0. I can't find any mention of that tool on now.netapp.com. Does Netapp still recommend running it, and if so, where can I get it? Dianna Mullet - Systems Architect Information Technology L-3 Communications Link Simulation & Training 817.619.3786

RE: Is there a way to tell who is mapping specific filer cifs sha res?
by Muhlestein, Mark 06 Mar '01

06 Mar '01

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. It could be done with a fairly simple perl script.

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?

Neil, Not all files are created equal you can say... :) My explanation would be that some files are being read from the read-ahead cache, and some from the disks. This makes a difference.

We have a Dell Linux 7.0 system that can't mount from a 740 (5.3.4R2). However it can mount from a 540 (5.1.2R3), and also from a AIX (4.2) and Sun (2.6) machine with no problems. Packet sniffer indicates that packets are sent to the filer but never return. A little more info, the filer mounts OK to linux 5.2 (Red hat) and all sorts of other machines. The filer and the failing machine can ping, and telnet to each other. ----- Stephen C.

At first I thought this might be some sort of local caching problem, but I think I have eliminated that possibility. Do you all see the thing?

Backups on F630 filers
by svawter＠c-cube.com 05 Mar '01

05 Mar '01

I have four (4) F630 filers (yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, upgrade!) and an additional two (2) F740 filers. I want to direct attach at least 1 drive from a library to each filer and I want to use Ultrium LTO libraries. Failing LTO support, I would like to use AIT-2 libraries. The problem that I have is that neither of these is officially support on the F630 platform! (AIT-2 is on the F740) Does anyone have AIT-2 running on F630? I don't want to run Mammoth, as I have heard too many horror stories (yes, I know that M2 beats AIT-2 by 2:1 for speed and by 10GB capacity, but that's irrelevant if the drive is down for maintenance much more often). Better yet, does anyone have LTO running on a Filer of any model, preferably a F630? (since they are barely shipping LTO, I doubt it). If you don't know what LTO is, go looking at HP, Seagate or IBM. Seagate seems to have the best drive at 16mb/sec with 100gb capacity and I think that this is due to a variable speed motor (which should also allow it to kick HP & IBM's butt when you can't keep data streaming in at 15mb/sec or better!)

Your choice for AIT-2 is solid (2 generations, backward read/write compatible, investment in media usable in later generations, less than 2% AFFR (raw field failure rate over the past 4 years)NDMP compliant, etc.etc. By the way, what have you heard about LTO's field reliability, cross-compatibility format compliance,(multiple manufacturers of LTO on the same format should be able to read data written by other mfgs. LTO units), media availability, and any actual backup/restore stories. I'd like to hear from anyone out there why they are looking at this format vs. sticking with DLT or transitioning from formats at the end of their cycles (DAT, Travan,etc.) 'Backup is worthless if you can't restore it.'

what can you verify through rpcinfo command? what can you verify with showmount? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen C.

Neil - I am one month into a Qualstar 4440 with 2 AIT2 drives. So far, no problems :) Using Veritas NetBackup with one AIT2 drive direct attached to the NetApp. The other drive is connected to a Ultra10 and does the rest of the network. The Qualstar is rack mounted, though the footprint is not small. - Rich -----Original Message----- From: Michael Carter [mailto:michael@worksta.com] Sent: Friday, March 02, 2001 4:49 PM To: 'toasters' Subject: RE: ait2 jukeboxes Neil, Qualstar and Overland Data are pretty good ones.

Hi, Is anybody using the Netapp Filer with a redundant mail solution (pop/webbased e-mail). If so, can you tell me what kind of OS and software you are using. I'm looking for a Linux based solution that supports multiple domains. tnx!

BakBone 6.03 has command line functions as well as the BEST NetApp and NDMP support
by Dale Sykes 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

This email was forwarded to me by an acquaintance, and I would like to give some feedback. First of all, I work for BakBone as the Northwest Regional Manager, and have been familiar with the NetVault product since 1995, when AT&T still owned the product. My last company, Andataco, was the original reseller of the product then, and since, the product has been acquired by BakBone, and world headquarters have been moved to San Diego, with other engineering and support facilities in Lanham, MD, England, and Japan. 6.03 gives you the command line interface capabilities that John Ross referred to. In 6.01, they were not available. With the product as modular as it is, we received numerous request for command line, and turned out the functionality within months. NDMP and NetApp support are also a feature set of 6.03, and the performance is quite spectacular there as well, as John found with the Exabyte M2 drives. We are seeing as much as 19MB/sec with a STK 9840 directly attached to a NetApp. It takes just minutes to hook up a NetApp box, and similar amount of time and effort to use Netvault to back up a SAN. We can dynamically shares drives between a NetApp and any other server or Client, UNIX, NT, or LINUX as well More information is available at www.bakbone.com, or anyone can call me at 503-892-3933. I hope this is of value to you.
