Copied about 3G before I realized AGAIN that the Sun "cp" is different than my BSDI cp. Now : # df -k /mnt Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on 216.231.105.197:/vol/vol1 125186456 182592 125003864 1% /mnt # du -s /mnt 80 /mnt # ls -lR /mnt /mnt: total 0 Am I hitting something I should report?

RE: IIS 5 - pass through authentication
by Benn, Paul 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

Mathew, In the IIS5 testing I did late last year, it didn't work. I have yet to confirm the rumor but have heard that it does work with IIS5 if clear text passwords are enabled and the user name and password fields are left blank when setting up the UNC path. Once I confirm it working I'll update the tech report with my findings (will probably be a few weeks out).

RE: Splitting large volumes

For the record, I used ndmpcopy to migrate from a F230 to an F740, and had zero problems with it. -- Mike Sphar - Sr Systems Administrator - Engineering Support Services, BOFH, GWP, MCP, MCP+I, MCSE, BFD -----Original Message----- From: John Stoffel [mailto:john@casc.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2000 7:02 AM To: Cliff.Dobbs(a)arm.com Cc: Premanshu Jain; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Splitting large volumes Cliff> I've decided not to use ndmpcopy as a colleague of mine had an Cliff> absolute nightmare with it when he moved from SCSI to FC-AL. Can you go into this in more detail, since this is exactly what I'll be doing when I migrate from an F520 to an F740 sometime in september/october timeframe. From the looks of things, nmdpcopy should do a great job, but the more details of people's problems that I get, the happier I am. Thanks, John x27548

Backup Solutions for NetApps

Present Backup scheme : Spectra Logic Tree frog's attached directly to 740's running dump scripts. I am looking for a solution which can smartly backup 3 TB of data split into several 300 GB volumes on two 760's / 840's (Proposed) . Would welcome suggestions/Comments on the following: Backup library supporting SCSI/Fibre Channel. Better options compared to Spectra logic . (AIT ones) Backup management software - Netbackup/Legato/Workstation Backup server Hardware - SUN box optimum configuration.

Netapp snapshots & reserved disk space
by Richard 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

I was having trouble setting the snap reserve to 0% on our mirror, it keeps on giving dumb df output, as it has used over 100% of the disk? snap reserve: volume vol0 is snapmirrored, operation not permitted Any idea how to do this? Richard

If your data is in great big lumps then a vol copy is probably your fastest solution. --- This will not work as vol copy requires an equal or larger sized volume to copy to.

Completely shut off snapshots & reserved disk space
by Pesce, Nicholas (FUSA) 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

Many people replied to my question about turning off snapshots. I guess it comes down to it, which method not only turns off the snapshot, but also turns off the systems reserving of disk space. (I know if I manually set it I will be ok) but does the command snap sched vol0 0 0 0 do it or does vol options <volume name> nosnap on I just don't want to have turned off snapshots, but still have the filer reserving space for them (I know this sounds kooky but I don't know if the microkernel will automatically save the space reguardless.) -----Original Message----- From: Summers, John [mailto:John.Summers@netapp.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2000 6:36 AM To: 'Pesce, Nicholas (FUSA)' Subject: RE: Completely shut off snapshots Hi, From the filer type snap sched vol0 0 0 0 Repeat for each volume.

Re: Splitting large volumes

This is very interesting to me, as I am about to do almost exactly the same thing. We have (don't laugh, please) a single 700GB volume which I want to split in to smaller volumes. To do this we have purchased a new 760 with 8 shelves ( we need more capacity anyway). What I plan to do is use rdist or rsync to copy the data from the old volume to the new volumes. Once the initial (level 0 ) copy is done I will keep up with daily incrementals until such a time as we can arrange a short down time to do a final copy and then re-rack the shelves to split them across the two heads. Hey presto. I've decided not to use ndmpcopy as a colleague of mine had an absolute nightmare with it when he moved from SCSI to FC-AL.
