You mention this filer is used for a DB. I'll assume Oracle. You really should have a direct crossover connection between the filer and the Sun, preferably gigabit ethernet.

I've been working with 2.7 and F760 using v3 and 32K transfer size with no problems. I believe that you should look at the toasters archive for Solaris client optimizations maybe, since there were a few talk this year about that. Anyway, you better look also if you're at the latest patch level of the Solaris...

Hi Brain, > When I switched the mount to v2 (udp), these errors went away, and > performance seemed to increase. Netapp documentation > recommends v3, but it > doesnt seem to work very well in my environment. V3 uses larger udp packets then v2. There are a couple network switches in the market place that are know to drop UDP packets (UDP - a.k.a. You Drop Packets) when they get overloaded. To drop packets by design is a wrong policy that even is used by one of the biggest internet plumbers. Especially when knowing the motivation that is something like 'udp is an unreliable protocol, the application will resent the packet when it does not arrive'. Imagine what happens with your application NFSv3 that uses packets of 32K rather then 4K (v2). The packet has almost arrived, then the switch drops it because it is too busy doing other things. The packet needs to be retransmitted taking unnecessary part of the available bandwidth .... Enfin, it ends as an avalanche of never arriving packets. What switches do you have? -Yann-

Mixing FC-8 and FC-9 shelves
by Brian Tao 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

Any issues daisychaining an FC-9 shelf off an FC-8 shelf, or vice-versa? Both have 18GB drives. Does auto-termination on the FC-9 still work if there is an FC-8 shelf in the chain? I'll upgrade the filers to 5.3.6R1 to address the auto-termination bug with the FC-9's. -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob(a)risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"

There is a utility called ntchown.exe that will allow you change the ownership of NT files/dirs to the appropriate user (so that even on the Unix side, it is changed from root to the user) without touching the ACL's on the NT side. You should be able to get this from support Word of caution on this utility.

If file access is controlled by NT ACL's as Andrew suggests, whomever you reach at NetApp support should know of a tool call "ntchown", which is very useful for allowing the NT administrator to set the owner of a directory or file. This was eventually supposed to be placed on NOW, but I'm not sure if it ever made it.

Anders probably has guessed the problem right, that it is an NTFS tree and so the Unix permissions seen by ls -al or SecureShare Access in Explorer will be derived permissions and not "real" unix permissions.

CIFS, ownership and chowning from nfs
by Rune Bakken 27 Jul '00

After on of the NT/Admins went bonkers last night moving a bunch of users to the NetApp (without consulting me first), I have found that appox 10% of the user catalogs is owned by root, with unix-style permissions are drwxrwxrwx, and I am unable to change owner or permissions from either nfs-side or using SecureShare tool on the NT. The users are unable to write to their nfs-mounted files At the time of migration, the usermap.cfg did not contain mapping of the Admin account/group to root, and wafl.nt_admin_priv_map_to_root on wafl.root_only_chown on Does anyone have a clue to what can remedy this? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>.rune -- Rune Bakken "I feel sorry for people who don't drink.

Hi! Are the qtree/volume security style "ntfs"? In that case right can only be changed by users with apropriate right in the NT domain/local groups. When you look at the acl's from the UNIX side they look like this sometimes. Ex in the case where the local Administrator group has FC on the files and the users ex has change.

NDMP Questions

26 Jul '00

If anybody has dug deep into using Veritas Netbackup NDMP to backup the filer. 1) Since NDMP uses dump, if you loose tape 5 of 8 does that mean you loose the entire backup / restore? 2) Can you restore file X without spanning all tapes that are part of the dump? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To preserve ACLs when copying you can just use scopy.exe. It comes with the NT resource kit. Alternatively you can use a backup/restore process. There are also some very nice third party migration tools, such as SecureCopy from smallwonders.com, which copy files+ACLs, shares, local groups, etc. between servers.

I believe every CIFS statistic that we keep is in MIB 1.2, even the propeller-head stuff IIRC, and most of them are in the MIB that ships with 5.3.x. Do an snmpwalk of .1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.7 and you'll see everything that's there. There only seem to be two MIB entries for http running on a filer in MIB 1.2. They report the low and high 32 bits of a 64 bit quantity representing the total number of http operations. Please send mail to me directly regarding which other statistics would be desirable, and I'll file an RFE. Alan =============================================================== Alan G.

Dear fellas, I was recently involved in the moving of a netapp filer from a hosting facility to our office building, and during transportation, I lost the terminator that plugs into the port that looks like a serial-port on the back of the disk shelf. That port is labeled "output/terminator" on the back of disk shelf (I assume the casing actually housing the disks is called the disk shelf?) Where can I find a replacement for this terminator? Would a standard retail store carry something like this? If so, which ones? Any help appreciated. I've not tried running the filer without that terminator, does anyone know what would happen if I did? Do I stand to lose data?

Great, I have been waiting for these values for some time. Do you also intend to include CIFS and HTTPD stats in MIB 1.2? If not, is there a hope they will be in the MIB in the future? Thanks.

by Henrique Pantarotto 26 Jul '00

26 Jul '00

Hello Toaster friends, I am already monitoring my filers for these infos: - CPU utilization - NFS ops/seg - /vol/vol0 volume - ethernet traffic I was wondering if its possible to also monitor: - Cache age (as reported by sysstat command) - Disk kB/s read and write (also reported by sysstat) Any know know the SNMP OID to this? I tried searching at the MIB, but I couldn't find it.

My user list > changes frequently, and my groups are a mess. [Garrett Burke] For home directories (for a 160 user environment.) we use a default quota and then add specific user quotas for special cases. If user base changes then a default is the way to go We also use qtrees for all the stuff shared between users and these also have quotas on them. e.g etc/quota has entries like this /vol/vol0/releases tree 18G 250K joebloggs user@/vol/vol0/users 300M 10K * user@/vol/vol0/users 100M 5K > Thanks, > Ferdie ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are solely for the use of the individual or organisation to whom they are addressed.
