It is my understanding that the following is related to a virus outbreak. Anyone know anything? Did anyone else on the toaster list receive this?

I just got e-mail from a NetApp employee with the now-famous (as of this morning) body: > Hi <my name here> ! > I received your email and I shall send you a reply ASAP. > Till then, take a look at the attached zipped docs. > bye. and "zipped_files.exe" attachment. Needless to say, persons who read mail on Windows systems would be well-advised not to open that attachment. Brian

I have just been sent a copy of the W32/ExploreZip.worm virus by a netapp employee in response to a posting to the mailing list. Do not open any files with an attachment called zipped_files.exe For more details see: http://vil.mcafee.com/vil/vpe10183.asp the virus has similar characteristics to melissa. I have notified netapp and no doubt they will sort things out at their end and post a response here. [sigh] Chris -- Chris Good - Muscat Ltd.

Quick quota question
by Brett Rabe 10 Jun '99

10 Jun '99

Am I reading the documentation correctly and there is no way to specify quotas with the following logic: All users with gid X get user quota Y How come? It seems like this would be both useful and trivial to implement? In the situation we're looking at it is not convenient to establish a different quota tree for every group and then put default user quotas on each tree. I'm hoping I'm just not understanding the documentation. :-) Brett --- Brett Rabe brett(a)uswest.net / 612.664.3078 Senior Systems Guy U S WEST - Internet Services All bleeding eventually stops. -- Hayden Meeker

Steve Armijo writes: > and actually, if you are doing quotas by name ( can you do them by uid?) > then the filer would also need to have access to the passwd file. You can do quotas by name, but I recommend to do them by uid. On an F330, it took over 2 minutes to read /etc/quotas which has ~2700 entries (/etc/passwd has ~5800 entries) when we specified user quotas by name. Changing our quota generation script to uids reduced that to 2 seconds!

Metadata preservation during network file backup
by Itzik (Itzhak) Meirson DSc. 10 Jun '99

10 Jun '99

I would appreciate if someone could clarify the issue of metadata preservation during network backup of filers data. Lets assume that I have a share with NFS/CIFS access. If backing up this share from NFS will the CIFS metadata preserved upon restore? If backing up this share from CIFS will the NFS ACLs be preserved upon restore? Thnaks, Itzik

Re: Q: lose shelf power supply
by George Kahler 09 Jun '99

09 Jun '99

Greetings... "George Kahler" <george(a)viper.ccs.yorku.ca> writes: Guys, thanks for your replies/comments to my question regarding loosing a shelf power supply. I should have added that the filers in question do not support fail-over and are running only a single volume, DOT 4.3.x. Also, I failed to indicate that all my shelfs have ONLY ONE power supply. I can live with a short ( <5 min ) outage. To summarize, I think that you all agreed that having redundant power supplies in shelfs is a good think to have and that having only one (as in my case, we are a poor University :-) ) will not cause data loss.

RE: DLT library controls
by Melvin, Grant 08 Jun '99

Hi, If you take a close look at the ndmp.org ftp site (ftp.ndmp.org), you'll see a test application built on top of the SDK called ndmptest. This contains code to manipulate a SCSI library via NDMP and has been compiled for use on a Solaris system. The code resides in /pub/version.2/contrib and is *very* interactive, but it provides the next layer on top of the SDK (ndmp_api) to build test applications that you're after. The test application provides a menu of options for each NDMP defined interface: ndmp_test -host filer **************************************** * * * NDMP Test Application * * * **************************************** Received ndmp_notify_connected request: version:2 reason:CONNECTED Connection successful Enter Command > h Help Menu --------- C - Connect Interface Menu CA - Connect Client Authentication CC - Connect Close CO - Connect Open CS - Connect Server Authentication D - Data Interface Menu DA - Data Abort DB - Data Start Backup DE - Data Get Env DG - Data Get State DR - Data Start Recover DS - Data Stop H - This Help Menu I - Config Interface Menu IA - Config Get Authentication Attributes IB - Config Get Backup Type Attributes IH - Config Get Host Info IM - Config Get Mover Type M - Mover Interface Menu MA - Mover Abort MB - Mover Set Record (Block) Size MC - Mover Close MG - Mover Get State ML - Mover Listen MO - Mover Continue MR - Mover Read MS - Mover Stop MW - Mover Set Window S - Scsi Interface Menu SC - Scsi Close SG - Scsi Get State SI - Scsi Inquiry SMM - Scsi Move Medium SMS - Scsi Mode Sense SN - Scsi Initialize Element Status SO - Scsi Open SRB - Scsi Reset Bus SRE - Scsi Read Element Status SRP - Scsi Read Position SRT - Scsi Reset Target SS - Scsi Set Target STP - Toggle DLT PERFMODE STU - Scsi Test Unit Ready T - Tape Interface Menu TC - Tape Close TM - Tape MTIO TO - Tape Open TS - Tape Get State X - Exit Program Enter Command > S Scsi Interface Menu ------------------- SC - Scsi Close SG - Scsi Get State SI - Scsi Inquiry SMM - Scsi Move Medium SMS - Scsi Mode Sense SN - Scsi Initialize Element Status SO - Scsi Open SRB - Scsi Reset Bus SRE - Scsi Read Element Status SRP - Scsi Read Position SRT - Scsi Reset Target SS - Scsi Set Target STP - Toggle DLT PERFMODE STU - Scsi Test Unit Ready Enter Command > The code is presented as reference code and "use at your own risk".

If anyone does have code to do this and can release it then please do so. If nobody has then I'll have a look at the ndmp sdk and see how far I get (probably nowhere but its worth a go).
