Wincenter Pro, excel 97 and netapp problem
by Krzysztof Miller 25 Nov '99

25 Nov '99

Hi, I am new on this list. Let me introduce myself - my name is Krzysztof Miller, I work for Lucent Technologies CIO dept, in Poland. We have F520 running 5.1.2 . Did anybody had problems with Wincenter Pro (or Cytrix Winframe) and NetApp ? We have following problem - when excel 97 session is open when you log off from wincenter, it deletes file, which is opened. NCD support suggest to upgrade system to 4.3.4D9, but I have 5.1.2 regards -- _____________________________________________________________ Krzysztof M.

reading tar format tapes
by Artur Shnayder 23 Nov '99

23 Nov '99

Hello, I wonder if anybody had experience with reading tar format tapes from device, that connected to Network Appliance. I tried from Solaris machine "tar xvf netapp:nrst0a" ... and got "netapp:nrst0a: No such file or directory". ufsdump utility works fine. Thanks. -- ~*-,._.,-*~`^`~*-,._.,-*~`^`~*-,._.,-*~`^`~*-,._.,-*~`^`~*-,._.,-*~`^ Artur Shnayder Voice: (609)655-5105 x12 System Manager Fax: (609)655-5114 Email: artur(a)cgen.com Compugen Inc URL: http://www.cgen.com ~*-,._.,-*~`^`~*-,._.,-*~`^`~*-,._.,-*~`^`~*-,._.,-*~`^`~*-,._.,-*~`^

It's documented as bug # 16390: %%% TITLE: Filer responds to rmt status inquiry with an error code %%% DESCRIPTION: Filers support the rmt protocol and thus a tape drive attached to a filer can act as a target rmt tape drive. The rmt driver on the filer will respond to a status inquiry (S option) with an error code. This behavior breaks ufsdump on Solaris 7 since it requests the status of the target rmt drive and receives an error back if the rmt device is attached to a filer. %%% WORKAROUND: Do not select rmt devices on Netapp's filers as target output devices for ufsdump on Solaris 7. The fix is currently scheduled for 5.3.5.

searching for 230 ethernet card...
by Linda Walton 22 Nov '99

22 Nov '99

I realize the 230 is in the "end of life" cycle at Network Appliance and that new parts are not available. Does anybody have an unused ethernet card for a 230 that I can buy or trade for? Happy Thanksgiving to all, Linda Walton

Sorry you can't. To the best of my knowledge, you can only add disks to the raid group most recently created. And by the way, 28 disks in one raid group??? IMHO, that's a lot. What kind of reconstruct times are you seeing for that? I have always used 7 max. It gives pretty good reconstruct times. -- Aaron M.

RE: options cifs.home_dir question
by Jones, Bill 20 Nov '99

20 Nov '99

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I understand the way in which homedirs are working on the filer, and I am confident that the permissions are set correctly. There are really two issues at hand. #1. Users see their homedir when the list available shares when the connect to the server (Start -> Run -> \\filer or using Windows Explorer through Network Neighborhood). The user then looks in the share with their user name, and sees all the files stored in their homedir. They panic thinking that somehow their data is being shared out on the network for everyone to see. They run to me and say, "HELP! There's a share on FILER with my name on it!!!!" and I get to explain this to them amid the many other projects going on. Even the more savvy users come by and ask, "What's up with this?" and I get to explain it once again.. And yes, we'll ignore that this was all explained in an email a week or so ago. #2. Our local domain will soon be migrated to a resource domain. Users will then log in to the corporate-master-globular-user domain. The filer will stay a memeber of the resource domain, because it _is_ a local resource. and cifs.home_dir does not work across domains. So, spending the time to educate the user community is a wasted effort. :} I want cifs.home_dir off. I cannot set it to null because that is not a valid pathname. I am almost to the point of creating a volume, pointing cifs.home_dir at it, and then killing the volume. I have concidered killing the CIFS.HOMEDIR share under server manager, but I have this horrible fear that in doing either one I will cause my filer to panic or crash.
