NOW web site
by Jay Orr 12 Jan '00

12 Jan '00

Has there been any progress in eliminating Javascript from the NOW website yet, so people can use LYNX or other text based browsers to access the site? I remember Netapps said they would work on it a few months ago, just wondering if anyone knows the status... ----------- Jay Orr Systems Administrator Fujitsu Nexion Inc. St. Louis, MO

Re: NetApp and RDBMS (Oracle/Sybase)
by Thomas Leavitt 12 Jan '00

Just a note: thank you all for your responses and the dialog so far. Very educational. The stuff about distributing the load over multiple NFS points, in particular, I think is one of those valuable little tidbits that you can't find out except by talking to people with practical experience. I feel much more comfortable with the concept, knowing that numerous others whom I can speak with are doing this.

Re: Budtool / backup sw Mailing-List??

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Jay Orr <orrjl(a)stl.nexen.com> writes: > Any progress on this? Just surfaced from our usual beginning-of-quarter madness, sorry for the delay. As far as I can tell (from www.liszt.com), there does not exist a list like this, so I've just created a new majordomo mailing list in response to these requests. It seems like folks are interested in both NetApp and Enterprise backup issues so I've tried to name the list accordingly (and in the spirit of BIG-LAN). Details follow: To subscribe: bigbackup-request(a)ccs.neu.edu To send to the list: bigbackup(a)ccs.neu.edu I'm hoping this will be a good place to discuss technical issues around the backup of large amounts of data from a {Netapp, Auspex, EMC...} box via {Budtool, Legato, QuickRestore...} etc. Other enterprise-wide backup issues are also welcome. I've set this list to be non-moderated, but closed to postings from non-members. Should the signal-to-noise ratio get too high, I'll flip it to moderated and take it from there. I've also disabled the "who" command so the addresses of the members will not be reaped enmasse by VARs (though I am not hiding the addresses of individual posters). In general, I'd appreciate it if marketing folks could also play nice. Hope this is useful, please feel free to send any comments or questions about this list directly to me. Respectfully, David N.

Re: Budtool and NetWorker

Jay Orr <orrjl(a)stl.nexen.com> writes: > Has anyone that uses Budtool to backup gotten any details about the option > to upgrade to NetWorker? I spoke to our local Legato rep about this right before Y2k and he was a wealth of "don't know yet" answers. He was sure they would have an "upgrade" program for exisiting customers, but not for a while. Apparently they are going to avoid an EOL for Budtool until the end of '00 and still sell it as a separate product until then. In the meantime, they are supposedly integrating Budtool into their standard Legato framework. He made it sound like Budtool would be a module as part of their usual stuff. It sounds like the folks in the field haven't heard yet because they haven't figured it out at the Legato homebase either. He suggested I contact his inside sales person, but I have not done that. Summary: nice soothing noises, but no real information Respectfully, David N. Blank-Edelman Director of Technology College of Computer Science Northeastern University

RE: checksum_blocks vol option?
by Mohler,Anissa 11 Jan '00

11 Jan '00

The following is an excerpt from the 5.3.4R2 Start Here Guide - page 29. You can download the PDF file from the NOW site in the software download section. ========== start excerpt ============ Starting with 5.3.2, Data ONTAP checks the consistency of parity when performing disk scrubbing. If it detects parity inconsistency, the following events take place: - A message is logged to /etc/messages indicating that there is parity inconsistency. When you see this message, it is important to call Technical Support for help in determining the root cause of the problem. - Data ONTAP enables block checksums to ensure data integrity. When checksums are enabled, there is some performance degradation. If checksums are incorrect, Data ONTAP generates an error message similar to this one: Checksum mismatch on disk 4.0, block 436964 A file named /etc/crash/parity_inconsistencies is created. It contains information about disk scrubbing, which helps Technical Support solve the parity inconsistency problem. ========= end excerpt =============== I hope this helps.
