negative values from SNMP?
by Darrell Fuhriman 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

% snmpget -m ALL -M $PWD -R XXXX public enterprises.789.1.2.2.1.0 enterprises.netapp.netapp1.sysStat.misc.miscNfsOps.0 = -736152675 I have a feeling I shouldn't be seeing something like this. As you can imagine it's screwing up our cricket graphs. :) The filer(s) is running 5.3.2R1. Eventually, it re-wraps and things start working again. Is this a bug with DOT, or the snmp software, which is the UCD package (v4.0.1), or am I just being clueless? Darrell

NetApp CEO
by John Tatar 13 Dec '99

13 Dec '99

Yesterday, I was at my health club working out and watching CNBC. Here is the CEO of Netapp talking about their last quarter and their product line. What struck me was his statement about the product (This is not an exact quote - but a good approximation. Interviewer: So you don't have do things like upgrade the OS NetApp CEO: No, our products are like a refrigerator, how often do you have to upgrade your refrigerator. Could someone at NetApp sign up the CEO for NetApp 101: Data ONTAP System Administration - Multiprotocol. ;-) JT -- =================================================================== John J.

RE: Budtool / backup sw Mailing-List??
by Melvin, Grant 10 Dec '99

10 Dec '99

Hi, I don't know if this fits the bill, but I've been trying (off & on) to get agreement to start a ndmp-users(a)ndmp.org mailing list. Non-ndmp issues should also be welcomed so that all backup/restores issues are discussed. An ndmp-tech(a)ndmp.org already exists for developers that wish to discuss the spec itself. Would this be the right discussion group to setup? FYI, the NDMP.org website and e-mail lists are hosted at NetApp. Cheers, Grant -----Original Message----- From: dnb(a)ccs.neu.edu [mailto:dnb@ccs.neu.edu] Sent: Friday, December 10, 1999 9:23 AM To: mc(a)com21.com Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Budtool / backup sw Mailing-List??

We'd be very interested in one as well (and would be willing to host if it didn't exist already). Anyone else? Peace, dNb

RE: Backup solutions
by Kelly Wyatt 10 Dec '99

10 Dec '99

We use NetBackup (currently 3.1.1, migrating to 3.2 early next year). We have been very pleased with the performance. Currently we backup through tape drives directly attached to the filers. However, we are in the process of setting up a backup lab where we can compare the feasibility of backing up over a dedicated trunk or GB network. Even if there is some sacrifice in performance the ability to use all drives in the tape library for all filers intrigues us... If I remember correctly, NBU 3.2 can do three way backups... We also use NBU for NT and UNIX backups... and will be testing AFS early next year. An enterprise wide solution was an important criteria for us... The SAS Institute/Veritas backup was announced in: http://www.veritas.com/company/pressroom/1999/pr991025%2D0.html Also, I presented our backup solution at VERICON99 (Veritas' User Group Meeting)... I'm sure a Veritas sales rep would be willing to send you a copy of the VERICON 99 CD which should have the presentation.

We have two netapps, an f630 and an f760. We are currently using Budtool to back up everything, but we are less than pleased with performance, and the fact that the product is getting EOL'd by Leggato. What is everyone's opinion on what they use for backups? We are considering Workstation Solutions, and Legatto, among others. Thanks, Paul Taylor Sr. Systems Engineer Connectria 215-841-5540

Maybe I am giving too much of the benefit of the doubt but my interpretation of Carlos'' posting was that he wanted to make visible what Zerowait has already taken the initiative to create. Which, I might add, is a good start and I am sure it will be improved with more contributions. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Hilliard [mailto:nick@iol.ie] Sent: Friday, December 10, 1999 2:54 AM To: mora(a)spectrix-hq.spectrix.com Cc: july(a)zerowait.com; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: NAS-SAN > You may want to start with http://www.nas-san.com/.

NAS-SAN
by July at Zerowait 10 Dec '99

10 Dec '99

As many of you know, the debate between NAS and/or SAN rages on. I've been asked to create a website for the purpose of elucidating the theory and practice of each so administrators, such as yourselves, can make better guesses as to which one (or maybe a combo) would work best for them. Plus we'll hopefully be able to provide a searchable database of issues and answers from practical experience. Not in competition to this list, of course, but an additional resource. Does anyone have any tales to tell on this topic? Problems, solutions, etc. Or know of a good source for articles on it? We'll gladly give by-lines to authors that want them. All ideas are welcome. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.-- ---------------------------------------------------------------- July A. J.

Budtool / backup sw Mailing-List??
by Michael Coxe 10 Dec '99

10 Dec '99

With all the discussion of backups, ndmp, etc... Is there a mailing-list for this sort of discussion? I'm looking for one, either Budtool specific or UNIX/NT generic (@ enterprise level). If not, do others feel a need for one? - michael

Maxfiles and available space
by scw＠seas.ucla.edu 09 Dec '99

09 Dec '99

We're in the process of ordering another filer, this time with 36Gig disks. One think that we'd like to do is cut down on the filesystem overhead. Just out of curiousity, if we make maxfiles really small (say 50 per meg ) can we we get more available file space? Our current average filesize is ranges from 22k to 89k depending on the actual filesystem. How much space do netapps 'inodes' take? ----- Stephen C.

NOW cookies?
by Jim Davis 09 Dec '99

09 Dec '99

I asked netscape to show me the cookies and when I login to now.netapp.com I see vanWebSupUsr= my 'Username' vanWebSupPwd= my 'Password' cookies, apparently in cleartext. The only other quick example I could check (hotmail.com) appears not to use cleartext for the username/password. Dunno if it's a big deal, but it does seem... odd.
