HELP

Hello there, I am the system administrator for the Earth Sciences Research Institute of TUBITAK. I am in need of urgent help to bring up our main computing server. We have a Sun enterprise 450 NIS server sytem that operates under Solaris 2.6. We have a vital problem about our Raid Disk system, which contains valuable earthquake data from the recent earthquakes in Turkey. Here is the story; I had successfully install 6 disks (9gb) into a single 54 GB file system using Solstice Disk Suite 4.1 tool. We have used this file system for about a year now. We had each disk unit taken out from its slot during a maintanence of the system. Now, we have mixed up the order of disks i.e. which disk belongs to which slot is unknown!!... Naturally, the system will not reboot successfully. I am wondering if there is anyone out there has come across such a problem and been able to fix it... I would greatly appreciate your comments and help on this matter... -- ------------------------ Ebru TAN E-Mail : bebru(a)mam.gov.tr TUBITAK MAM Is tel :(262) 646 63 55/391 Yer Bilimleri Arastirma Enstitüsü Is tel :(262) 641 23 00/4300 PK 21 41470 Gebze/KOCAELI

As explained in the security guide, access to files with NT security is based on the NT account, while access to files with UNIX security is based on the UNIX account. You can review http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/olio/guides/53_troubleshooting/ind… tml to understand multi-protocol security. This is described in the "Concepts" section.

I see your problem: WEBMAILER\Administrator is not a member of BUILTIN\Administrators on the filer. You should add "WEBMAILER\Domain Admins" as a member of BUILTIN\Administrators on the filer using User Manager for Domains. By default, only the "Domain Admins" group from the domain the filer is installed into is placed as a member of the filer's BUILTIN\Administrators group. After fixing this, you're going to want to do a "wcc -x" to force a remapping.

Ait2 Robots supported?
by Brian Hostetter 01 Jun '00

01 Jun '00

Has anyone hooked up an AIT2 drive to their filers? I had two 760's shipped out today and am going to need a nice large tape system to back them up. I plan on using the time manager ndmp solution for backups and would like to use a Qualstar 4400 series tape library. Anyone have any luck with them or can anyone suggest a 4-8 tape DLT system? --Brian

Does anyone here have some 4 GB Wide (ST15150W) drives that are: (1) netapp qualified and (2) you are interested in selling? We have a partially populated shelf that we'd like to fill or at least add to. <scw> ----- Stephen C.

Raid scrubbing overloading a 540
by Stephen C. Woods 01 Jun '00

01 Jun '00

We have discovered an interesting feature on our toasters, and after some consideration have come to the conclusion that it is a misfeature. As many of you are aware the raid.reconstruct_speed number determines how much CPU to use in raid reconstruction. This directly controls how long it takes to reconstruct a missing disk. If you are concerned about double disk failure, you set this number higher. Unfortunately this number also controls how much CPU is to be used in raid scrubbing, to make things worse if you have multiple raid volumes they seem to be scrubbed in parallel not sequentially. These are the numbers that we obtained, 540 2 raid groups 0 (20X4GB Wide) 1 (12 X 4GB Narrow) no scrubbing CPU = 6% raid.reconstruct_speed =1 CPU = 11-12% raid.reconstruct_speed =2 CPU = 29-33% raid.reconstruct_speed =3 CPU = 59-65% With raid.reconstruct_speed = 8 the filler didn't seem to be responding to nfs requests, which is how discovered this. Now clearly this affects lower end machines (540) more than faster machines. But since scrubbing seems to be very CPU bound it would seem to us that almost any machine could be brought to its knees by this condition. Our question is this: Would it be reasonable to ask Netapp for one or both of the following: (1) Separate raid reconstruct speed from raid scrub speed. (2) Add an option to force raid scrubbing to be sequential. perhaps raid.scrub_parallel == off Clearly for those concerned about dual disk failures a high raid.reconstruct_speed is important. Equally clearly moderatly high raid.reconstruct_speed can bring a 540 to its knees with 2 Raid groups. Spliting the speeds or, running raid scrubbing sequentially might avoid this. ----- Stephen C.
