the latest on NDMP and NetBackup?
by Rudie, Tony 09 Nov '99

09 Nov '99

I see postings of some months back in the archives about this, but I wonder what the latest is? We have a cluster of 740s running DOT 5.3D11 Each filer has an Overland Data DLT7000 with 15-tape mini library. Our Solaris 2.6 NetBackup server (running NetBackup 3.12) seems to be directing NDMP backups to the local tape drives without any substantial problems. Have I got a "lucky guess" of an OS rev here? Is anyone doing NetBackup NDMP on any other release level successfully?

Re-running the rm -rf does help, but of course having to repeatedly re-issue rm commands as root does pose quite a new set of problems. :-\ Brian

Our networks group have mentioned a problem where some 10baseT devices out there attempt to negotiate full-duplex (possible, but not common) and screw up the entire switch - of course, this tends to happen on our office networks and not our production ones - so definitely worth talking with Cisco and looking through subsequent IOS release notes I think.

Re: LISA Conference
by Cheryl Cruddace 08 Nov '99

I asked whether anyone was going to LISA a few months ago and a few beer drinkers answered affirmatively. Is anyone still interested in getting together for a bar-hopping-birds-of-a-feather. If so there is usually a bulletin board that we could post to at the conference center. Mind you this is all in the interest of sharing priceless tidbits of technical information so that I can go home and rip open those boxes and build our new F740's with gusto and a lot more knowhow than when I built the F630. (My boss doesn't know that the filers build and run themselves so he thinks I am on a fact finding mission!) Cheryl Cruddace LLNL

Quad cards on Network Appliance
by Mittal, Ashish 05 Nov '99

05 Nov '99

I have a quad network card on a F720 connected to 2 sun and one hp unix box. every once in a while i loose the connectivity to these boxes and when i try to re-mount i have lots of problems. Bringing the ports up and down using ifconfig does not help. Sometimes one port will come up and the others will not...so it is very intermittent. Has anyone had this problem before...any possible solutions.... Ashish Mittal

Macs and Filers.
by yann.golanski＠ThePLAnet.net 04 Nov '99

04 Nov '99

Does anyone know if it is possible for a cluster of Macs to see a filer? If that's not possible directly, do you know of any free-ware or not code that would allow it? Anyone here had experience in doing something like that? Cheers. -- Yann Golanski Internet Systems Developer yann.golanski(a)theplanet.net The Planet Online

RE: Legato Clienk Pak for Netapps

Hi Scott, > Just received the new client pak for Netapps. Much to my chagrin, I find > out it doesn't support the F500 series filers. Anyone know why this is the > case? Its due to bug 13252, a description is online. Unfortunately, we had a strange JVM/platform interaction: Under Data ONTAP Release 5.3 or 5.3.1, running NDMP or other Java-based software on F520 or F540 systems can cause system panics or watchdog resets due to an interaction between the Java runtime environment and the F520/F540 hardware/firmware. This has been resolved in Data Ontap 5.3.4. Legato are going to certify 5.3.4R1, due in a few weeks, with the Client Pak, which will then also support F500 series filers. Cheers, Grant -----Original Message----- From: Scott Mikusko [mailto:guerilla@concentric.net] Sent: Thursday, November 04, 1999 12:14 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Legato Clienk Pak for Netapps Comrades, Just received the new client pak for Netapps. Much to my chagrin, I find out it doesn't support the F500 series filers. Anyone know why this is the case? And after upgrading all my systems to 5.2.3 three weeks ago, I find out I need to upgrade to at least 5.3.2. Lovely. And I see that the client does not allow backups of the snapshots, which is what I'm currently writing to tape. Apart from these annoying issues, what does anyone have to say about the client software for the Netapp? I have a system here that is taking nearly 40 hours to do a full backup, and 20 hours for incrementals to backup via NFS mounts to the backup server. I'm hoping that the client pak will help improve the time it takes to get my filers backed up. The filers themselves are not too terribly busy, I just have very large file systems. Anyone have any stats on the performance of the client software vs NFS mounting the filers to a backup server? Curious.
