RE: Will F760 work with IBM ADSM backup system?

Re: nightly.1 busy: snapshot rollovers not happening
by Mark Muhlestein 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

The best way to do this is to create a special snapshot specifically for the backup, then delete it when the backup completes. This avoids the problem of the snapshot being changed out from under you. And this can all be automated with scripts. See Paul Benn's message for a pointer to a description of how to do this.

I ran across this same problem when i shared the Nightly.0 for backup purposes. When the nightly.0 rolls over to the Nightly.1, the CIFS share keeps track and actually keeps the share mapped to nightly.1. (same thing next night when it rolls over to nightly.3). I posted the problem a few weeks ago and the only "solution" anyone could come up with was running an rsh command to stop and recreate the share every time the backup runs. I opted to forget the snapshot directory backup and go with … [View More]a live backup of the C$\ share. --Patrick Day owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com on 03/01/99 01:34:39 PM Please respond to "DDA.RFC-822=tmerrill(a)mathworks.com/P=Internet/A= /C=us" @ X400 To: "DDA.RFC-822=toasters(a)mathworks.com/P=Internet/A= /C=us"@X400 cc: "DDA.RFC-822=tmerrill(a)mathworks.com/P=Internet/A= /C=us"@X400 Subject: nightly.1 busy: snapshot rollovers not happening Folks, What does this "busy" mean? bat> snap list Volume vol0 working.................................................... %/used %/total date name ---------- ---------- ------------ -------- 0% ( 0%) 0% ( 0%) Mar 01 11:01 hourly.0 0% ( 0%) 0% ( 0%) Mar 01 10:01 hourly.1 2% ( 2%) 1% ( 1%) Mar 01 09:01 hourly.2 14% (13%) 11% ( 9%) Feb 27 00:01 nightly.0 22% (15%) 19% (12%) Feb 26 00:00 nightly.1 (busy) The nightly snapshot apparently didn't roll over, and hence a lot of testing suites that we run that depend on an image at mignight are giving us out of date results.

If ADSM can back up an NT member server via CIFS it should work. According to the ADSM FAQ I found: "4. Can ADSM backup remote machines? "ADSM does not have a specific remote backup function. Any remote NTFS file system access needs to appear to the ADSM client as a local NTFS. "Remote drives can be backed up." So it would probably work by mapping a drive from the filer. However, we haven't tested ADSM to my knowledge. The filer's NT backup also includes the ability to fully back up UNIX … [View More]

Will F760 work with IBM ADSM backup system?
by Mike Ball 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

Does anyone know if the F760 will work with the IBM ADSM backup system? The ADSM system is used to backup over 200 NT servers over the network, and we would like to use it to backup the F760 filer running CIFS. Has anyone had any experience with the IBM ADSM backup system and any Netapp filer?

Can NetApp provide some more details on this DELL <->NetApp announcement? http://www.dell.com/corporate/media/newsreleases/98/9811/04.htm http://www.netapp.com/news/level3b/news_rel_981104.html (a) Are they going to take say, a 740 stick Dell label on it and sell? (b) Is this going to replace Dell's disk subsystem? In which case the NetApp/disks are no longer a "network attached" system. Am I right?
