I strongly recommend contacting Netapp support about getting a software upgrade. Matt

Is or has anyone experienced any problems getting cifs to run on the netapps ? We have an F720 and are having performance problems with our win95 users. Just transfering files from a server drive to the F720 is very slow. The other problem is that several programs wont run if the files have multiple access, such as access. We changed the cifs.oplocks.enable to off .... Can anyone shed some light ? Mark Fowle

by Mike Ball 03 Jun '99

Will a cluster failover occur if a NIC card fails in one of the clustered filers? I have not been able to find a answer from level 1 tech support at Netapp or from the NOW site? Thank you, Mike Ball

You should be able to use the 'vol destroy' command to destroy these unwanted volumes though. Either one should accomplish what you are trying to do, turn these drives into spares. -paul

erase disk label?
by mgx＠spruce.lsd.ornl.gov 26 May '99

26 May '99

netapp support advised me to use the disk_remove_label command to remove the disk labels of a couple of new disks which decided to insert themselves into a new and unused vol. however, my 5.3D2 ontap does not seem to know the disk_remove_label command. is this correct? or is there another command to remove the disk label? -- -- michael

Out of curiosity, was it simply a quote on more disks, which was too high for you, or is your current system already at capacity and you'd have to do a bunch of upgrades to newer hardware to get more storage? If it's the latter it's really unfair to use it for price comparison when other products; you will run into similar limitations on them eventually. If it's the former, remember that the disk is more expensive because it goes hand-in-had with the high performance and testing. If you want to use another product with cheaper disk, it's not going to be as reliable, particularly under heavy loads. >>Is anybody using some of the other boxes available as adjuncts to the >>netapp? I'm going to keep my netapps for some very specific users, but I >>believe I can move significant amounts of data (log files, etc). off to >>other products, and avoid paying absolutely ridiculous prices... Well, it's not clear what you want these adjunct products to do. If you care about reliability or performance, you'd get a netapp despite the price. If you don't care about these things, and simply want cheap bulk storage for "significant amounts of data" that you don't care how slow it is, or if it crashes and you lose all your data, nor how much administration time it will take adding new disks since you won't get RAID-4, then I see no reason to go with another "appliance-like" product. Just add some disks to your regular user/compute/development/cpu/whatever-you-call-them servers, be they Sun, Linux, Compaq/Digital, or whatever. Bruce

I stopped by the Netforce booth at SANS. Not bad. They had a workgroup server for ~$5000 with a capacity of 80GB as well as higher end systems. I don't know if I'd trust them for critical data, but they're probably worth a look. jason
