RE: RE: HVD or LVD scsi connector?
by MBrookes＠netapp.com 30 Jun '00

Hi Brian, > Can I stream data from local servers through ndmp through the filer to the tape drives? Indeed you can, this is a feature of NDMP known as a three-way backup. I know that Workstation Solutions QuickRestore supports this particular feature, but there may be others too. As an aside, whilst slightly misleading, it's not entirely incorrect to say that a filer cannot control a media changer, as there is no built in software to do so, but, as you'll have gathered NDMP allows control by third party software. Also, the unload/reload tape device and the allows limited contol of a sequential tape stacker when using the built in dump/restore.

Getting info remotely via SNMP
by Gordon Keegan 30 Jun '00

30 Jun '00

Is it possible to query things like cpu load, NFS/CIFS/HTTP op's, quota initialize status, hot-spare-stripe-in status, and other stuff like that via SNMP? I did an snmpwalk on our 330's and 520 running 5.2.3 and don't see anything resembling those. Are these things that I would have to set traps for so the filer pushes them out instead of another host polling? help! :) -- Gordon Keegan, M10-10 Phone: (508) 261-4696 Motorola ING Fax: (508) 261-5757 20 Cabot Boulevard Mansfield, MA 02048 email: lgk011(a)dma.isg.mot.com

This is in the filer security FAQ. You want options wafl.nt_admin_priv_map_to_root off See http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/olio/guides/53_troubleshooting/faq… l#anchor1392387 "Why is the UNIX owner of files I create set to "root"?"

I made experience with Budtool, and from a flexibility perspective it is imho better to connect the robotics to the filer since it eliminates to install robotics kernel driver on Unix hosts, i.e. spt driver for Solaris . One could quickly change and fail-over to another admin host while maintaining the robotics control . Only ndmp software is required while robotics driver might not exists for a particular Unix flavour. Klaus

Nt administrators UID mapping

Hi everyone, I'm having problems with quota's. The NT Domain Admins are showing up as UID 0 (root). I have removed the Administrator == root in usermap.cfg. This didn't seem to help. Anyone have any suggestions? OS 5.3.5R3 Thanks, Ethan Erchinger Certive Corp.

RE: CIFS question
by mark.muhlestein＠netapp.com 29 Jun '00

Do "cifs sessions *" from the filer console. If you have a lot of sessions you will probably want to do that via "rsh" and capture the output to a file. There may also be some third-party apps that give this information better than server manager. Or you can roll your own using MS scripting tools.

CIFS question
by Nick.Mayrath＠envoy.com 29 Jun '00

29 Jun '00

How can I search and find out which user has a specific file open? I'm only running CIFS on an all NT network. I can use the "server" app in Control Panel, but it doesn't let me sort or search. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Are disks re-useable? Or are they one-time only? Thanks, Jen Hamilton
