RE: Problem in symbolic links
by abond＠netapp.com 26 Jun '00

The option name is actually cifs.symlinks.enable You may also need to look at cifs.symlinks.cycleguard if the symlinks start with . or .. Also you may need to create/modify /etc/symlink.translations if the path the unix clients follow is not the same path the filer would have to follow. See the manpages for options and symlink.translations for more detail.

Accessing clearcase vobs from nfs and cifs
by Joe Buhr 26 Jun '00

26 Jun '00

currently our clearcase vobs are being stored with its database on a sun server and its storage pools on a filer. this setup has been working well for over a year now and now i would like to try to access the same vobs from an nt. i've been told its possible but i'm not certain of the proper steps involved. the goal is to be able to access the same vob from nt and unix at the same time. here's the setup i've got so far (correct me where i'm wrong) 1. Registry server = reg1 (sun server) 2. Region = 3g (on the sun server) 3. License server = lic1 (sun server) 4. vob databases = /usr/test/vobstore1 (on sun server vob1) 5. vob pools = /usr/test/vobpool1 (on netapp) so far so good... 6. netapp is a member of our nt domain 7. an entry has been made in the usermap.cfg file to map the unix owner: <domainname>\<nt clearcase services account> == <unix vob owner> 8. the replica_uuid file has been copied in from the database directory 9. ???? i'd appreciate any comments on this setup that you might have, joe

Hi, We are facing problem in accessing the Doc files which are symbolic links on the Netapp box from a PC. Please can you let us know how to access that. We tried with the option option cifs.symlink.enable on/off also but without success. kind regards Bhaskar G Philips Semiconductors, #3, Sterling Square,Madras Bank Road, Off St Mark's Road,BANGALORE-560 001.

I guess so. Please reply if this helps... We have 2 automount directories: From auto.master: /view_data auto.view -rw,intr,proto=udp /vob_data auto_vob -rw,intr,proto=udp From auto.view: db.bck lapid:/lapid2/view_data pool netapp4:/vol/genproj/genproj/view_data db2 lapid:/lapid2/view_data2 db lapid:/lapid/view_data From auto.vob: db.bck lapid:/lapid2/vob_data pool netapp4:/vol/genproj/genproj/vob_data scm netapp4:/vol/genproj/genproj/scm db2 lapid:/lapid2/vob_data2 db lapid:/lapid/vob_data Is it what you opt for ?

Default quota tree quota ?
by Steve Losen 25 Jun '00

25 Jun '00

We recently upgraded to 5.3.5R2P2. In the release notes in the section "New features of Data ONTAP 5.3.4" I saw this under "Quota Features": You can now create a default tree quota that applies to any qtree that does not have an entry in /etc/quotas or any qtree that is created after the default tree quota goes into effect. I couldn't find this documented anywhere in the man pages or the Sys Admin Guide. So I went ahead and put this entry in /etc/quotas, just guessing the syntax: * tree 99M 99K I ran "quota off h2" and "quota on h2" and got no complaints. We recently created a new qtree and added this entry for it in /etc/quotas /vol/h2/t15 tree 1000M 1000K When I ran "quota resize h2" it complained about this new entry. So then I tried this, figuring the default quota might be a per volume thing: /vol/h2/* tree 99M 99K But the quota command didn't accept it, saying "/vol/h2/*: no such file or directory". So I guess this feature isn't there yet. If I'm just not doing it right, could someone tell me how? Steve Losen scl(a)virginia.edu phone: 804-924-0640 University of Virginia ITC Unix Support

Legato & Veritas questions
by Jay Orr 23 Jun '00

23 Jun '00

Since we're looking at different backup solutions, wondering if I could pick the group's respective brains... First, for non NDMP backup, is there special client packs required for either (and is netapp dump supported)? I'm going through Sun since they sell both and they were unaware of any. Second, any thing to be aware/careful about with either backup solution? Third, any problems with ClearCase and either package? Much thanks! ----------- Jay Orr Systems Administrator Fujitsu Nexion Inc. St. Louis, MO

Does anybody have any experience of this product who would like to share thier knowledge in how it compares with the Filers ? According to Veritas this product turns a SPARC based computer system into high performance NT and UNIX storage server. At the moment it is only available for Sparc based systems. Thx and Regards Riasat

This does not involve the whole issue of cifs symlinks, so links can be made to home dirs even across qtrees or shares. The links are absolute, not relative, because they are examined by the filer only, not the client.
