RE: F720 & Sony SDX-510C

This is supposedly the third tape drive from our vendor (but at least the second I'm sure about) and we have tried internal and external termination (with more than one external terminator). We have sent the drive back to the vendor multiple times and they have tested it and sent it back with us getting the same results. The current drive was sent to us directly from a NetApp engineer (she got it from our vendor) who tested it successfully on a F760. We don't have another system we could test it on ourselves. BTW, we're running Data ONTAP 5.3.4R3. Amy -----Original Message----- From: Nick Hilliard [mailto:nick@iol.ie] Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2000 11:41 AM To: Caldwell, Amy B.

RE: Any way for CIFS to see symlinks across qtrees/shares?
by Muhlestein, Mark 27 Apr '00

That restriction exists to enforce share level ACLs. However, we do have plans to allow such symlinks securely. Unfortunately, I can't give you info on when. I'll add you to the list of folks who have asked for this.

Hi Amy, I suspect someone has already told you this, so forgive me if this is a repeat. But have you been told that the AIT 2 drive needs to emulate an AIT 1 drive in order to work? In the next major release of software the AIT 2 will be supported, but right the only way it will work is for it to pretend to be an AIT1. Do 'mt -f rst0a status' - this will create the file /etc/cloned_tapes Edit the cloned_tapes file to map the product ID, ie. by adding a line that says something like: SONY SDX-510C EMULATES SONY SDX-500 (I'm not sure about this syntex, because I'm not sure the exact inquiry string that the drive returns, so please check with netapp support) then: Do 'mt -f rst0a status' again. Now 'sysconfig -t' should list the appropriate device files, and it should work because now the filer recognizes what kind of device this is. -----Original Message----- From: Caldwell, Amy B.

Any way for CIFS to see symlinks across qtrees/shares?
by Timothy Demarest 27 Apr '00

27 Apr '00

Is there any way to set the Filer to allow symbolic links to traverse other qtrees? I have a symlink on one CIFS share, which is a qtree, that points to a directory on another CIFS share, which is another qtree. Obviously, this works fine for NFS clients, but the CIFS clients just see the symlink as a regular file, not as a directory. Thanks, Tim

F720 & Sony SDX-510C
by Caldwell, Amy B. 27 Apr '00

27 Apr '00

We have a F720 that we purchased in February with a Sony SDX-510C (AIT-2) that has never functioned properly (we have managed to get ONE tape backup of our system). We have been in contact with many NetApp engineers and they have yet to solve our problem. We have used the command "dump 0f nrst0a /vol/vol0" successfully once; on subsequent tries, the dump fails with these error messages: nucleus> dump 0f nrst0a /vol/vol0 DUMP: Dumping tape file 1 on nrst0a Thu Apr 27 10:06:13 CDT [isp_main]: isp_error_proc: isp 0b.3 0xfffffc0000ca0860 transaction error #1 ( 0x8000 0x700 0x0 ) - 17/29 Thu Apr 27 10:06:13 CDT [isp_main]: isp_error_proc: Selection timeout on 0b.3 - 17/30 Thu Apr 27 10:06:13 CDT [isp_main]: isp_error_proc: Selection timeout on 0b.3 - 17/31 DUMP: open of nrst0a failed. DUMP: Retry the open?: ("yes" or "no") yes Thu Apr 27 10:06:23 CDT [isp_main]: isp_error_proc: Selection timeout on 0b.3 - 17/32 DUMP: open of nrst0a failed. DUMP: Retry the open?: ("yes" or "no") no DUMP: DUMP IS ABORTED We have tried AIT-1 tapes as well, in addition to swapping out the motherboard (really!), changing dip switch settings, changing tape drives, different cables and different SCSI terminator (internal setting and external blocks). One of the NetApp engineers tested the drive on a F760 and she says it worked fine. They all swear this tape drive will work on our system with the dump command. Any ideas or help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks! Amy

Yes, NFS Maestro is working great with NetApp. The permissions issue we had was that in order to authenticate, the <filer>/etc/passwd file must have a name _and_ a passwd in order to authenticate.
