RE: Spares Kit

To clarify the last statement about Spares Kits...The first component put into a Spares Kit is the main system board with the CPU...System memory is taken off the board to ease the cost burden to the customer but is available as an a la carte option should you choose to stock it as a spare.

You (should) test out the spares kit just as you would do your own burn-in of new equipment, even though your vendor or reseller claims they've done their own QA. Nothing here goes directly from a shipping crate and into production here without a physical inspection and an operational burn-in period. Our most recent Netapp had a drive with a mashed SCA connector that somehow (?) passed inspection. It may even have worked if all the pins contacted the connector, and we would not have known about it had we not pulled out every drive and examined them. I bought an entire F740 head unit instead of a spares kit. Last I checked, the spares kit does not include a CPU, so if that fries, you're outta luck. Besides, it is easier to swap entire heads than trying to switch a motherboard around or whatever. -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob(a)risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"

Spares Kit
by Jay Orr 10 Jun '00

10 Jun '00

I have a general question - we got burned earlier this year when we had an F330 fail and our spares kit had problems. We've since gotten a new F720 and a spares kit. Do most people test out the spares kit, or do most put it on faith that the spare kit is good? ----------- Jay Orr Systems Administrator Fujitsu Nexion Inc. St. Louis, MO

NDMP Incremental backup issue
by Stephen Manley 10 Jun '00

10 Jun '00

Some of you may recall Matt Phelps encountering some trouble with NDMP incremental backups. We've identified the problem as bug 23356. The bug description will soon be available ONLINE at NOW. In a nutshell, the problem is this: An NDMP incremental dump will not include files with an mtime which is set to a time BEFORE the timestamp of the last level 0 dump, but created AFTER the timestamp of the last level 0 dump. Thus, your NDMP incremental backup may be missing some files that were created after the level 0 backup. The files that will be affected would primarily be: 1) Files that are restored, untar'ed through NFS, CIFS, or the native filer restore or NDMP restore. 2) Files that have has changed permissions, without the actual file changing (we won't back up the changed permissions). Note that the next level 0 backup WOULD include all of these files. The history of this bug: Some customers were encountering problems with various Windows applications using the Win32 API. Apparently, the ctime of an accessed file is updated by a large number of Windows apps (even if the file is only read) because the apps don't understand "last changed time". Thus, users with virus scanners would find that their incremental dumps included all files in the system... So we added a hidden option to NDMP and dump to ignore_ctime. (see online burt 17767 for more details on this issue) Unfortunately, all incremental NDMP backups incorrectly invoke that option as the default, and it cannot be overridden. The solution: We will soon have a 5.3.6 patch available that fixes this problem. This is also a good time to mention the NOW Bug Watcher utility. When we do a patch release that fixes this bug, those watching the bug will be automatically notified. (I'm guessing it probably works for other bugs, too. ;) http://now.netapp.com/cgi-bin/relfind?bugs=23356&rels= And thanks to Matt for being so helpful with this issue.

RE: Unix group permissiosn and NT access on a filer

You want to turn on the cifs.perm_check_use_gid option. Thay way you will get normal UNIX group permission checking semantics. The entry in the security FAQ is intended to explain why that is not the default. Let us know if you still have problems.

Thanks! IT sounds like what we need is a "cred-GID" am I reading this right? I want to give an NT user the right to access files from his NT box that members of his unix group can access on the Unix side, on a filer set to unix file perms At 11:21 AM 6/9/00 -0700, mark.muhlestein(a)netapp.com wrote: >This is controlled via the option cifs.perm_check_use_gid.

This is controlled via the option cifs.perm_check_use_gid.

RE: DLT 8000

So there shouldn't be any problems with HP ShureStore DLT Autoloader 818 with Single-ended SCSI-2 fast/wide high density because for Filer I only found fast wide diferential. Is that compatible?
