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

Veritas SANPoint (tm) Storage Appliance

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

RE: Filer (F740) with CIFS and NT Terminal Server Edition (Metafr ame)
by Dennis.Haag＠netapp.com 21 Jun '00

If you make absolute links (beginning with a leading slash) you need to consider how the filer is going to resolve those since the UNIX exports and CIFS shares may be coming from different paths. The /etc/symlink.translations file is used to help the filer interpret absolute symbolic links. If pchome is full of links to another directory on the filer and you use relative links you should be fine. You also need to enable symlinks with the cifs.symlinks.enable option. /vol/vol0/pchome bob -> ../home_systems/bob jim -> ../home_software/jim /vol/vol0/home_systems bob /vol/vol0/home_software jim Dennis Haag -----Original Message----- From: Moshe Linzer [mailto:moshel@taux01.nsc.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2000 8:09 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Cc: David.Lockwood(a)benettonformula.com Subject: Re: Filer (F740) with CIFS and NT Terminal Server Edition (Metaframe) We are actually doing this slightly differently.

RE: CIFS file locking problem
by mark.muhlestein＠netapp.com 21 Jun '00

21 Jun '00

The way it works is that if a CIFS client has open files but no command has been received at the filer for 10 minutes, we send a keep-alive NETBIOS message. That then goes through the normal TCP timeout logic, which will normally take 520 sec or so. That means the total elapsed time for a non-responsive connection to timeout is just under 20 minutes. If you can verify that the locks are still present after more than 20 minutes, please let us know. We'll have to take a packet trace to see what is going on.
