W2000 CIFS login problem DOT 5.3.5R2P2
by Steve Losen 07 Aug '00

07 Aug '00

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this and if they know whether it is a problem with W2000 or DOT 5.3.5R2P2 We are using unix authentication for CIFS logins, so W2000 is set up for logging into a samba server. It works fine on a samba server but we are having problems with the filer. We turned on CIFS login logging to /etc/messages and the problem is obvious. The first character of the loginid is missing in the log message. I don't know if the PC or the filer is losing it. We'll have to set up a sniffer to find out. Has anyone else seen this one? I'm on NOW looking for this bug. If I don't find it, I'll open a case. There was an earlier bug where W2000 could not login to CIFS with unix authentication, but that is fixed in 5.3.5R2P2. Perhaps it wasn't completely fixed. We are having no problems with CIFS logins from NT, W95, and W98. (Have to enable clear text passwords, of course.) And I'm pretty sure some folks have had success from W2000, so this probably does not happen to everyone. Steve Losen scl(a)virginia.edu phone: 804-924-0640 University of Virginia ITC Unix Support

RE: Replacing defective DLT7000 drives without rebooting the fil er
by Kelly Wyatt 07 Aug '00

07 Aug '00

We always power down the filer: Halt filer remove scsi cable from tape adapter boot filer ... 2-3 minute outage replace the drive. Halt filer attach scsi cable from tape adapter boot filer ... 2-3 minute outage Two short outages are easier to handle... yes, we have CIFS and NFS connections that are affected. In theory, since we schedule the outage, the users should be prepared... :-) We currently have 2 9710's but will be consolidating into one L700 -- which has, as you mention, hot swappable drives. But I believe that NetApp still recommends that you power down the filer. Would be nice if that was not so...

Lawrence, We have setup a NT4 server as a ScanServer with McAfee on it. We have a point to point connection between the Filer and the scanserver. (Don't forget to set the speed of the network card on the NT server to 100MB Full Duplex) We just map the cifs volume and scan the cifs volume over the point to point connection(to avoid network load). So far we are very happy with this solution and have been able to detect and remove viruses from the Filer. As soon that a virus is detected a popup window appear on my pc.

Nail, We have two F760 filers running CIFS only. We have about 3000-4000 client connecting to the filers from a number of sites. We are presently using McAfee Virus Scan 4.3.0 to scan both filers. We have set-up several high spec workstation each sweeping a section of the filers. We use snap mirror for disaster Recovery so have a combined disk capacity of about 1.1TB. The Virus scanning works pretty well but we are kind of unhappy at losing the on access scanning functions.

move command on filer?
by Nick.Mayrath＠envoy.com 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

This weekend I need to move alot of files around of my F720. Is there any "move" command locally on the filer that I can use instead of using my NT machine? My concern is that using the NT machine will cause the moves to take longer since they have to "pass through" my NT box. Thanks

Q. on Qtree/Volume/RAID group
by Ng, Pok 04 Aug '00

04 Aug '00

I have few questions regarding qtree, volume and raid group 1) Is it ture that raid group is added to a volume automatically? 2) is there any command for creating new raid group? 3) when a qtree is created on a multi raid group volume, does the qtree span across all raid group? do you have control on which raid group the qtree can reside on? 4) when the max disk per raid group is increased, does it affect all raid groups? 5) I know if a new disk is added, it will be added to the last raid group of a volume. Assuming the answer to Q4 is yes, then what happen if the last raid group of a volume is filled and there exists raid group(not the last one) in the same volume that is not filled? TIA pok

Please rank the following reasons for using NAS in terms of their order of importance to you (with "1" being the Most important; "3" the least important) a. Cross-platform file sharing b. Ease of use c. Cost 3. What concerns, if any, do you have about your Network Attached Storage? 4. Are you currently considering deploying SANs for your storage requirements? If so, can you estimate when you might deploy a SAN? Thanks very much for your consideration. Steve

F330's EOL (not)
by Jay Orr 03 Aug '00

03 Aug '00

In recently dealing with requoting support for our mix of filers, I find that technically the F300's haven't been declared EOL. The thing is, last time we paid for support, they wouldn't let us purchase software support for the F330's beyond April 2000, but that has come and gone and I wonder how close Netapp is to ONTAP 5.4. I was told that they wouldn't let us get software support beyond then because no new versions of ONTAP would be available for the F330's. I had been told that as of ONTAP 5.4, SCSI based filers won't be supported, hence the EOL for the F330's. So, is this still the case, and how close are we to seeing a 5.4 release? ----------- Jay Orr Systems Administrator Fujitsu Nexion Inc. St. Louis, MO

Clock size
by Michael Salmon 03 Aug '00

03 Aug '00

The recent discussions on clocks brings to mind something that I have been wondering about for a while, namely what is the size of the clock in a filer. The reason why this is interesting is that filers happily set file times to 32 bit values and this is illegal unless the filer's clock is unsigned or greater than 32 bits. /Michael -- This space intentionally left non-blank.

RE: Configuration

In a clustered configuration, you will have two filers. In case one filer goes down, the other filer will take over the failing filer's disks so that data is still accessible. If there is a disk failure, RAID can take care of it. However, in case of a disk shelf failure, I think you are out of luck. C.P.

Actually, the NDMP standard has specified DAR since the outset of v2; NetApp has added DAR to Guinness/6.0. We backup software ("NDMP client") vendors also incorporate rather hefty logic to support DAR in our products. DAR capability exacts a price from users, too, in terms of additional disk space used to store the position of each file, each time it's backed up. A few random points you might find useful: . NetApp's DAR implementation can recover up to about 1,000 files in a single operation. . ONTAP's NDMP restore logic always reads header & directory data from the first tape of the backup. Then, in concert with the NDMP client, it requests the tape -- if not the one in the drive -- needed to recover the first file in the backup data stream. . Instead of reading & examining each block, as is done in the non-DAR selective recovery case, the tape agent (NDMP mover) uses "space block" operations to position the tape to the tape block in which each requested file begins. It iterates this (swap tapes if req'd, position to next file, recover file) operation until all requested files are recovered. Best, Jim

Sounds like a standard NFS issue - the filer's idea of time is almost certainly slightly ahead of the time on the client(s). ls will see a timestamp in the future (as far as the client is concerned) and just print the date in the ls output, until the client's clock catches up with the file metadata. > > Wondering if anyone has come across the same problem/feature!
