RE: Netapp CIFS as part of DFS tree?
by Muhlestein, Mark 24 Aug '99

24 Aug '99

Any CIFS client can be a destination in an NT DFS setup because of the way it works. If a path is to be rerouted, the client gets a special error, then asks the server for the new path. The client then issues a separate connection to the destination share, which can be on any CIFS server anywhere, including the filer.

I got this question from one of our NT guys... can a CIFS-enabled Netapp participate in an NT DFS tree? From what I understand, NT's DFS looks and acts like UNIX-style directory mounts (i.e., instead of assigning a drive letter to a shared drive, the drive appears under an existing directory). -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob(a)risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"

Re: SIO error on boot up.

This is an error in a pretty fundamental part. Basically, the message means that the PCI/ISA bridge chip (SIO - Intel 82378ZB) has a problem. Since this is just about the very first test in a filer at power-on, it could be indicative of a number things, such as clocks, interrupts, or PCI operation. There is no workaround. I think you'll have to RMA your motherboard. rgl R. Guy Lauterbach Manager, Firmware & Diagnostics Network Appliance, Inc.

No autosupport mail on reboot
by Graham C. Knight 24 Aug '99

24 Aug '99

Has anyone encountered this type of problem? After upgrading to 5.2.3 none of our systems send autosupport mail on reboot. I can issue an "options autosupport.doit test" command and autosupport mail is sent, but nothing on reboot. There is nothing in the messages file that indicates an error, also there is no message that autosupport has been sent. Here's what the autosupport lines in rc look like: autosupport.mailhost mailhost options autosupport.to autosupport@netapp.com,nac-admin@ast.lmco.com options autosupport.from nac-admin-reply(a)ast.lmco.com I don't see a whole lot of ways to debug this problem. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thx, Graham

SIO error on boot up.

We are getting SIO errors on an F330 while it is doing its POST. It then halts while trying to load the OS. Any ideas on this? Joseph

RE: Netapp CIFS as part of DFS tree?

We here at SAS do this all the time. You can do DFS mapping via the command line. Something like: dfscmd /map \\sashq\u\userid \\netapp_name\share_name\userid And the user will just need to go down to \\sashq\u\userid. They do not need to know where this area resids. MS DFS hides this from the user (Just like AFS/DFS does in the Unix world) Regards, Dawn -----Original Message----- From: Brian Tao [mailto:taob@risc.org] Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 1999 11:08 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Netapp CIFS as part of DFS tree?

If I recall correctly, autosupport mail is not sent when booting off of floppy. So if you booted off of floppy to do the upgrade, you won't get an autosupport. One way to test if this is the problem is to download the upgrade to the disks, pop out the floppy, and then reboot off the disk image. Bruce

RE: Gigabit Ethernet

I would recommend that you turn off auto-neg and do manual set-up on the interface. We have used Extreme and Netapp Gb eth with hard coded settings. /// Best regards, Jonas -----Original Message----- From: Jay Querusio [mailto:jq@opensystems.com] Sent: 20 August 1999 21:16 To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Gigabit Ethernet Has anyone ever experienced any problems with a GB Ethernet card on a Netapp connected to an Extreme Black Diamond switch? The card seems to come up fine but after a period of time the Netapp becomes unreachable. The amber and green lights on the back of the card seem to stay a dim steady light when this happens. All the interface statistics seem to be fine with no collisions. The mtu on the switch is set to 1500. The only difference we can find is that the filer labels the card as 1000fx while the switch port can only do sx or lx. Any one know what could be going on or have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Jay

Re: ndmpd status

Many of the commands that are only rsh-able via the rc_toggle_basic are such because they are not necessarily *safe* to be rsh-ed commands. So I generally would not think of this as solving your problem, unless you're willing to live with possible crashes and other undefined behavior as a result under the right conditions. The true solution is to upgrade to a release that supports that command through rsh. Bruce

ndmpd status
by Graham Knight 20 Aug '99

20 Aug '99

I was quite suprised that you cannot do a "rsh toaster ndmpd status". Does anyone know of any tricks to get the status of ndmpd connections from a Unix shell? I want to make sure connections are available before i launch ndmpcopy processes. Along the same lines - is it possible to increase the amount of concurrent ndmp sessions beyond the default of 5? Thanks, Graham
