Note that collision is not the same as error! On standard half-duplex Ethernet, a collision is a normal and healthy phenomenon - simply means that the Ethernet flow control meachnism is working. It's okay to be worried about high error rates. High *collision* rates (as long as we're not talking about "late collision") aren't really all that meaningfull by themselves - what you should probably look at is the *utilization* of the Ethernet segment.

Toasters list - any FAQs?

I'm new to this list, so forgive my ignorance... are there any FAQs or digests of past list submissions that I can come up to speed with??? Also, here's a real item: I'm seeing fairly high error and collision rates on my F330's quad ethernet card, (10BaseT Quad-Ethernet Controller (Znyx)) and was wondering if there are any known issues with this card, since the network traffic on these four nets does not warrent this high error rate (I'm on OnTap 4.3.1). -- Jim Morton, Applix Inc., Westboro, MA jim(a)applix.com

OnTap FIler OS Upgrade Q's
by Weeks, Thomas 08 May '98

08 May '98

Hi all... Have a NA FS230 box running 4.2aD9... I need to do CIFS inter ACL/UFS-permissions testing and evaluation (for our NFS-->CIFS migration) and was PLANNING on going to 4.3.3 because I do not have a "test box" and wanted to protect myself from the possible "problems" associated with going to the full 5.x release and then trying to back out. (yes.. I am planning on EVENTUALLY going to 5.x, but I want to address one problem at a time (i.e. don't want to have to adress UFS/ACL/locking issues AND variables associates with backing out of the 5.x upgrade.. that's all)) Does anyone have any information on this subject that I should examine? I guess 4.3.3 is no longer the highest pre-5 release version.. but it is now 4.3.4? Anyone? Thanx...

Does anyone know how well the Breece-Hill Q1-15 (single drive, 15 cartridges) DLT tape stacker plays with the NetApp 630? Does anyone know how well the smallest StorageTek DLT tape stacker plays with the NetApp 630?

F330 running at 100%

Greetings, Today we experienced an F330 pegging at 100% CPU. netstat and nfsstat didn't reviel anything eye popping, and so I'm asking for suggestions as to what might cause this?

file locking problem
by Jason D. Kelleher 01 May '98

01 May '98

This past Saturday we moved our mail spool from a SunOS 4.1.3_U1 system to our NetApp F330 running ONTAP 4.3.3. Since then, we've had problems with procmail processes hanging on open file locks. This only occurs when someone leaves mailtool or dtmail running. Does anyone have any idea why mailtool won't handle file locking when mounting the spool from a NetApp, but will when mounting from a SunOS system? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. jason --- Jason D.

I would try applying the numerous patches for 4.1.3_U1, particularly the NFS patches and the mailtool patches from your descriptions. I might also check out upgrading to 4.1.4 and it's associated patches. Actually, I'm assuming your clients are the same flavor as your old mail spool server. If you have Solaris 2.x clients, there are patches for them as well. If the problem still persists you can talk to Netapp, probably get them a trace and they can find out who isn't doing locking correctly. Bruce

What you could do is log NetApp specific messages to a remote system and grep for the filer's hostname in the remote system's messages file. It's probably easiest to drive this with a cron script. You might also be interested in Swatch which is a tool (publically available, I think) that allows you to monitor messages files and trigger on user defined events.

So is ANYONE satisfied with any 3rd party NDMP colutions? IT's a nice fast protocol.. but I'm not seing a lot of support...

Yep. For better quality when it leaves Netapp than the parts you get third party. Sounds very much like a shipping issue to me. I'd talk to Netapp support and have them coordinate with shipping to see if that's where the problems are. Given when you say these things occurred, it's quite possible the problems have already been corrected. Perhaps have Netapp ship the seperately, requiring you to install it just like you do third-party RAM, might be a better solution for your given environment. Bruce

Part of it is history. Back in the "old days", which is to say only 2-3 years ago in computer time, there were lots of vendors you could get 60ns RAM from that weren't quite up to snuff under heavy loads. And those vendors that did often produced RAM that stood up to their tests, but not to Netapp's. As the industry has progressed, I'm sure today's 60ns RAM chips are of higher quality, so failures may be less common than they once were. But yes, Netapp seriously pushes the performance of memory under high load, even if that is now more easily within the tolerances of most memory chips. Another thing to consider is that if you don't run your filers under very high load, it's probably very easy for you to "get away" with lower-quality memory. But don't be surprised if your filer starts getting memory errors once you start running your CPU at 100%, or your cache age at 1, or you have a disk failure and have to do reconstruction while in service, etc. Bruce

SNMP CPU usage in "TIMETICKS" is interpreted as uptime and corrupts logfile
by Darrell Root 27 Apr '98

27 Apr '98

I'm trying to use mrtg to show the CPU utilization on a Network Appliance. Here's the relevant portion of the netapp MIB (output of an SNMPwalk, with my notes on the right side): 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.1.1.0: TIMETICKS: 1016121072 (uptime in ticks {1/100sec}) 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.1.2.0: TIMETICKS: 33513506 (cpu ticks used since uptime) 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.1.3.0: INTEGER: 3 (% cpu util since uptime) 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.1.4.0: TIMETICKS: 982607568 (cpu idle ticks since uptime) 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.1.5.0: INTEGER: 97 (% idle since last boot) 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.2.1.0: INTEGER: 311445413 (nfs ops since boot) 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.2.2.0: INTEGER: 4503517 (total kbytes recd on all nets) 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.2.3.0: INTEGER: 1224614 (total kbytes trans since boot) I can't use the "% cpu util since uptime" figure because that's just an average cpu utilization since the last reboot, which isn't particularly informative when your server is usually up for months at a time. So I figured I'd use the "cpu ticks used since uptime" and "cpu idle ticks since uptime" MIB entries. The problem is that SNMP entry is of type "TIMETICKS", which is interpreted by the BER.pm module as an "uptime statistic". When I run that one, here's what the mrtg logfile looks like afterwards: 893639038 9 days, 8:48:06 9 days, 8:48:06 893639038 0 0 0 0 893638500 0 0 0 0 893638200 0 0 0 0 Ouch! The second time I run mrtg it fails with a "corrupt logfile" error (for good reason, that's corrupt all right!). Here's the output of mrtg with the DEBUG level set at 8: SNMPGET OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 SNMPGET OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.1.4.0&1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.1.4.0:public@fs11 --> in: 9 days, 8:48:06 out: 9 days, 8:48:06 name: fs11.nas.nasa.gov getting SNMP variables for target: 1:public@fs12 snmpget: ifInOctets.1 ifOutOctets.1 fs12 public SNMPGET OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.1 SNMPGET OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.1 Now, here's the part of the BER.pm source code which decodes the SNMP reply: sub pretty_print ($) { my ($packet) = @_; my ($type,$rest); my $result = ord (substr ($packet, 0, 1)); return pretty_intlike ($packet) if $result == int_tag; return pretty_unsignedlike ($packet) if $result == snmp_counter32_tag || $result == snmp_gauge32_tag; return pretty_string ($packet) if $result == octet_string_tag; return pretty_oid ($packet) if $result == object_id_tag; ###THIS LINE return pretty_uptime ($packet) if $result == uptime_tag; ###THIS LINE return pretty_ip_address ($packet) if $result == snmp_ip_address_tag; return "(null)" if $result == null_tag; return "#<unprintable BER type $result>"; } The "pretty_uptime" subroutine is about what you'd expect, converting the ticks to "up for 4 days 3 hours..." format. So, if the result is an "uptime_tag" (which probably means the same thing as TIMETICKS), the BER.pm module formats it as an uptime string before it even gives it to mrtg. That's exactly what we want for the "this router has been up for ...." mesages on our webpages, but makes Netapp CPU information unavailable (except for the uptime since the last boot). I really want to avoid maintaining homegrown customizations to mrtg. I'd prefer a solution to be incorporated into the main mrtg source code. Here are some suggestions on a fix: 1) Have mrtg spawn a separate script which uses snmpget, and then reports this information as an integer (Peter Buschman recently send such a script to the toaster's alias...I was wondering why he didn't just have mrtg get the data directly...now I know). 2) Have the NetApp MIB report CPU ticks as an INTEGER or COUNTER instead of TIMETICKS 3) Have BER.pm report uptimes as an integer, and have the mrtg perl script do the "pretty_uptime" conversion if appropriate (ie. for "router uptime" information at the top of the webpage, but not for data put in graphs). 4) ??? Any suggestions anyone? I'm probably going to go with #1 unless someone has a better idea, but I thought this would be of sufficient interest that I'd spam you guys with it.

> The numbers for cpu busy percent (1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.1.3.0) aren't > working so good. It keeps returning "48". Does anyone know why this > would be? A 5 minute sysstat (sysstat 300) is showing more variation. That value isn't an instantaneous snapshot of the busy percentage, it's a busy percentage over the total running time of the filer. To compute a busy percentage over a specific amount of time, you need to sample the cpuBusyTime (.1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.1.2.0) and cpuIdleTime (.1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.1.4.0) values, and use the changes in those values (over whatever time period you want) to compute the busy percentage, i.e.: ( change_in_cpuBusyTime ) / ( change_in_cpuBusyTime + change_in_cpuIdleTime ) > The numbers for net usage (1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.2 and > 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.2) keep returing zeros. Should I be using a > different set of numbers for an F220? I'm not sure why they're returning zeros.

As an alternative to those numbers, you should be able to get the total KBytes received and sent (since the last boot) from miscNetRcvdKB (.1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.2.2.0) and miscNetSentKB (.1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.2.2.3.0). ...Tim Thompson...Network Appliance, Inc...tjt(a)netapp.com...

SNMP, mrtg, queries
by Mark D Simmons 24 Apr '98

I feel a little dumb to be asking this but how does one actually get the NetApp MIB into mrtg to be able to query and plot information about one's filers? Currently I'm under the impression that I need to convert the fine NetApp MIB in ASN.1 to the serialised integer format, to build into the mrtg script. Now after much searching and thinking I've found a number of BER compilers that'll do the job, outputting C/C++ tables, but nothing that just outputs simple ascii strings. Am I on the right track? Is there a cunning and clever way to do the job without these steps? Has anyone done this before AND are willing to help me out/contrib the work back to the mrtg site? Any and all help sincerely appreciated!
