NIS groups not showing up
by Lance R. Mehle 14 Oct '00

14 Oct '00

Hi all, I have a problem that I was wondering if any of you have seen. We have a little over 2000 groups in our NIS+ environment. When I check the nis_cache file on the filer about 399 are missing. A ypgroup also shows the group(s) missing from the filer although a ypmatch can find the group(s). It also appears that the same groups are effected all the time. The groups are fine on the UNIX side. Help! Lance

Hello James, If you're using Data ONTAP 6.0 or later you can specify multiple directories on one filer. The option you need to set is called "cifs.home_dir" and you can use a comma separated list with a maximum of 255 characters. Here's a sample command: options cifs.home_dir vol\vol0\homes,vol\vol1\more_homes Data ONTAP 6.0 has another new option as well called "cifs.home_dir_namestyle." This option allows you to change how a username is used for mapping the home directory. Here are the three options with descriptions: ntname (or nothing): This is the same as with ONTAP 5.x. The user's home directory name must match the user's NT domain account name. mapped: The user's home directory name must match the user's mapped UNIX user name. domain: Under the root home directory (set with the cifs.home_dir option), you need to create one subdirectory for each domain that the filer trusts. Each user's directory is then created under their respective domain directory. The user's home directory name must match the user's NT domain account name and the domain directory must match the user's domain.

RE: Trivia: what do the splodges on the LCD represent?

The scale is "realative" to recent readings. If the last reading or so was 12, and the current one is 3000, it'll peg. If the last reading or so was 3000, and the current one is 12, it'll sag.

Ten splodges equals how many ops? It looks to me more like some sort of autoscaling based on a rolling average, as I have seen the bar graph shoot off to the right during slack times when the number is relatively low compared to its rated max ops/sec.

Its just representing activity over the most recent "period".

What is actually being measured here? The >number of splodges is correlated with the number, but not very >strongly, and the number has a far larger dynamic range. After staring at that thing and wondering myself, it looks to me as if it is sort of a sliding rate-of-change meter. When there is a big surge in #/Ops over a short period of time, bar jumps up a lot. Ditto for a big decrease in ops, shaving the bar. However, I've seen the bar nearly pegged with a relatively small number of ops (say, 400 or so) and hanging around 50% when the machine in question was pushing as many as I ever have seen it push. In general, I think the main purpose is to have Cool Blinky Lights. -j

RE: F760/F840, ONTAP 5.3.x/6.x gripes
by Reidenbach, Edward 13 Oct '00

13 Oct '00

Thanks for the feedback on the Data ONTAP release model. There were numerous factors we considered in the decision making process for both Data ONTAP 6.0 and 5.3.6H1. Factors including * time to market * time frame for separation of code lines * feature/function and regression/reliability testing scope * project schedule differences * and the risk profile of the various alternatives were critical in the decision making process. We believe the resulting release model decisions provided the highest quality solution for you in the most timely manner. Follow-on maintenance releases for both Data ONTAP 5.3.6H1 and 6.0 will address the platform specific issues associated with the above mentioned releases.

Merrill [mailto:tmerrill@mathworks.com] Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2000 7:11 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: F760/F840, ONTAP 5.3.x/6.x gripes Can someone from NetApp comment on these following concerns? It seems...inconvenient for those who upgraded to ONTAP 6 on F760s to have to revert back to 5.3.6.x in order to upgrade to the F840s. The release of ONTAP 6 couldn't wait until a port to the x86 code was ready for the F840s? And, also, why won't 5.3.6H1 run on an alpha-based filer? I couldn't test 5.3.6H1 *anywhere* in my environment, except on my new F840 which I needed immediately on a high-visibilty filer. I upgraded and went live with 5.3.6H1 and crossed my fingers that there would be no problems with this new release. Very unnerving. I'm now running with two different ONTAP versions on a group of filers, and hoping I don't run into any inconsistencies across my environment due to this. Again, a port of 5.3.6H1 couldn't have been made for the alpha-based filers coincident with the x86-based F840? Lastly, could the boot process be made smarter to load the appropriate microkernel, x86 or alpha, if *both* were included on disk? These gyrations to install and download x86- or alpha-based code from *floppy* (slllooowwwww) just seems so...so...kludgy. Probably not, but I'm just asking. Makes a simple head-swap upgrade not so simple. In summary, in comparison to the usual elegant and quick upgrades and downgrades for previous ONTAP versions, these points above just increased my downtime [0] and decreased my comfort level. (BTW, the 840 is taking the load of our previous 760 without even breaking a sweat. Yipee!) [0] Just one of these migrations or ugprade/downgrades takes you far below a 99.999% uptime metric.
