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

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

2Gig filesize limit?
by Rob Windsor 20 Aug '99

20 Aug '99

Hello, We're running into a bug where the Synopsys tools blow up when the simulation datafile size reaches 2Gig. It appears that Solaris 2.6 is fine with 'largefile' as long as the application is appropriately set up for such. Before I send the developer off to pound on Synopsys about the problem, does Data OnTapp 5.2.1 have a filesize limitation? I seem to remember reading "not since v4.n" (and a given value of `n'), but now I can't find that reference. -- Rob ---------------------------------------- Rob Windsor E-Mail - mailto:windsor@adc.com Senior Unix Systems Administrator Voice - phone:972-680-6919 Computer Services Fax - phone:972-680-0370 Business Broadband Group __o ADC Telecommunications _`\<,_ Richardson, TX 75082 (_)/ (_)

Hi Graham, This is resolved in Data ONTAP 5.3 and higher. ndmpd is rsh'able. In Data ONTAP 5.3 we ported the NDMP server to the JVM on the filer. One of the reasons to allow more than 5 NDMP concurrent sessions. We have now set an arbitary limit of 1000.

tech support waits
by Todd C. Merrill 19 Aug '99

19 Aug '99

I am getting frustrated with the response time from tech support. The engineers who take the calls are not responding to my requests for status updates, for days even. Not even a peep, such as, "We're still working on it." I have not tried the "comments" section from the call log on NOW, but I don't have faith in that if supposed *direct* communication to the engineer isn't working. I have started calling the 888-4NETAPP number, and waiting on hold for 20-30+ minutes. There is no way to quickly just say, "Have the engineer call me, *please*"; you have to wait...and wait....and wait.... I waited over 20 minutes the other day. Frustrated, I hung up, redialed, and entered the option for "the filer is not serving data," hoping I could get someone quickly. Hah. 18 minutes later someone answered the call. I asked the engineer if today was a busy day; the reply was, "Not really." I don't know about other people, but if this had been an actual emergency and our filer was down, waiting 20 minutes is unacceptable. There were threads a while back about response and wait times. Are others still experiencing these interminable delays? In defense of NetApp, though, I did make a call at 6 AM (EDT) last Friday, and got someone immediately from their third-shift in Europe. Yea! That is much improved! (Now, if I could only get a hold of that engineer *again*...) Until next time...

RE: HELP TO DECIDED THE ONTAP VERSION TO USE WITH BUDTOOL
by Melvin, Grant 13 Aug '99

13 Aug '99

Hi Alex, I received good news last night that BudTool 4.6.1 is now certified with Data ONTAP 5.2.3: NetApp Release 5.2.3 has been tested, and certified with BudTool 4.6.1. Local, Remote, and 3 party configurations were tested. Legato havn't updated their external web page yet at: http://www.iguard.com/products/certmatrix.html since the product marketing manager is out today. It should be updated next week sometime. Legato will be certifying 5.3.2D1 next. Cheers, Grant P.S. We have moved our internal version of the NetApp/VERITAS (NetBackup) software certification matrix to: http://now.netapp.com/knowledge/contents/TIP/TIP_605.shtml These URLs should provide you with the information that you require. -----Original Message----- From: Alexandre Gomes [mailto:r7043c@email.sps.mot.com] Sent: Friday, August 13, 1999 10:58 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: HELP TO DECIDED THE ONTAP VERSION TO USE WITH BUDTOOL Hello, Could some one help me decided what version of Network appliance ONTAP is compatible with budtool version 4.5 and 4.6.

Re: The Promise Of SAN ???.....EMC answer....

>No company left the FibreAlliance. This was a mis-interpretation of >only one reporter. Note that no other press reported the same story. Whether or not the story is true, the "only one press reported it" line is hardly a defense. Remember Woodward and Bernstein? >Finally, I have seen lots of presentations by analysts about NAS and >SAN and what is stated below is really focused on the point they make >of where do NAS and SAN meet. If you need to have file sharing, then >use NAS but even the NAS server will need the benefits of SAN >(connectivity, distance, scaleability, etc). So the analysts position >NAS as using SAN on their backend. This was clearly the direction 2 years ago, and if it wasn't for SAN vendor fud more customers would realize this. >There are still, and will continue >to be, a large installed set of application that do not use NAS and >they will use SAN directly. There will continue to be a far larger installed set of applications that use only NAS and not SAN. In fact, very few applications use *only* SAN directly, because that would largely be useless; the data still has to get to the end-user to be useful, even if it's through a secondary application, and that user is very likely to be connected over a network.
