RE: Redbrick?
by Clarke, Bruce 27 Aug '98

27 Aug '98

We have one customer in South Africa that is known to have put Redbrick on a filer. I have been told its in an NT environment. Attempts by NetApp to get Redbrick "officially" interested have so far gone unanswered. If you would like to drop my name to the Redbrick sales rep, please feel free to do so.

Ok, so Oracle works on the filers. No problem. Has anybody tried other database systems? Redbrick?

"quota resize" still doesn't work right on 5.0.2
by Stephen C. Losen 27 Aug '98

27 Aug '98

We have a default quota of 10M, which is the first line in /etc/quotas: * user 10M 10K Here is a quota report for a user with no entry in /etc/quotas: quota report /h1/s/sj/sjs3j Type ID Volume Tree Used Limit Used Limit Quota Specifier ----- -------- -------- -------- ------- ------- -------- -------- --------------- user 30967 vol0 - 472 10240 113 10240 So now I add this line to /etc/quotas /h1/s/sj/sjs3j user 20M 20K And I run quota resize quota report /h1/s/sj/sjs3j Type ID Volume Tree Used Limit Used Limit Quota Specifier ----- -------- -------- -------- ------- ------- -------- -------- --------------- user 30967 vol0 - 472 10240 113 10240 The quota for this user has not changed. Only turning quotas off and back on does the trick. The quota resize command issued no error. I read an earlier post to this list that indicated that this was fixed. Has anyone actually gotten this to work? Steve Losen scl(a)virginia.edu phone: 804-924-0640 University of Virginia ITC Unix Support

Stephen, This is documented as bug 5660. This is indeed the way it works now but a fix for this will be available in a future release. If this is a critical issue please call/email Tech Support for a solution. -diptish -----Original Message----- From: Stephen C.

Re: rw? no, ro.

Jim, >Any ideas? This is a busy system so rebooting from floppy to bypass the >rc file and then trying another admin host is something I'd like to avoid, >though at this stage I don't see an alternative. You can unexport root using "exportfs -u /" (note that the root may alternatively be exported as /vol/vol0/ at release 5.x) You can use "exportfs -i -o access=new.admin.host,root=new.admin.host /" to re-export the root directory to a different host or list of hosts. Have you opened a call with our support on this? Andrew Bond System Engineer, NetApp UK

exports syntax
by just me. 22 Aug '98

22 Aug '98

Has anyone found better documentation on 'exports' syntax than the crappy 'administrators' guide once-over? I am specifically interested in using a 'files' based netgroups map to clean up permissions, however the administrators guide suggests that usage is somewhat non-intuitave (as does my experimental results) yet stops short of providing useful information. It does however reference one of the mysterious man pages, which I have never been able to get Netapp to give me. In fact they deny their existance. Anyone got the skinny? thanks. --matt(a)bikkle.interq.or.jp------------------------------------------- Matt Ghali MG406/GM023JP - System Administrator, interQ, Inc AS7506 "Sub-optimal is a state of mind." -Dave Rand, <dlr(a)bungi.com>

Snapshot Bug
by Raymond Brennan 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

Hello, I've run into a snapshot bug and was wondering if anyone else had. The details are basically that the filer ( an F520 with 128 Gb of disk, 128 Mb RAM, a Dec ALPHA CPU and running ONTAP 5.1D3) hangs when creating snapshots as instructed by BudTool. It is an ONTAP problem and is stopping me from doing backups. Has anyone else been hit with this ? :)

Bug with ACL's & MS based "Save As"
by Weeks, Thomas 20 Aug '98

20 Aug '98

Hi all.. Have a NetApp F230 running OnTap 4.3.4. I am usnig the CIFS based "cifs.home_dir" option (with a "catch all" UID in the passwd file) to allow NT Authenticated users in my domain to each map their own home drive. When one of our users (running Win98 & MS-Office 97/Outlook97) saves documents, or file attacments from any of his applications to his CIFS mapped NetApp Home drive, they have no problems. Saves fine every time. HOWEVER, if he clicks on <file> <Save As> and directs it to the NetApp CIFS drive mount, he gets the error: "[MS OUtlook] Cannot save the attachment. Access Denied." But (from Outlook) if he clicks AND DRAGS the file, or copies it to his desktop first & then to the drive mount, there's no problem. Similarly, if he just tries to do a SAVE (and not Save as) then it works fine. THE PROBLEM IS JUST WHEN HE TRIES TO "SAVE AS". I looked at the user's dir. His permissions are 777, and his dir's UID (and all file/dirs under it) match his UID in /etc/passwd on the filer. Has anyone seen this behavior before?

New F700 Series
by sirbruce＠ix.netcom.com 19 Aug '98

19 Aug '98

Okay, so the F700 series has been announced. I am, however, left with many questions: 1. Are these models Alpha based? Pentium? Other? What are the relative speeds, so I can compared to the previous models? The F760 appears to be about 50% faster than the F630, but I'm sure that's spread out over several components, not solely due to the CPU. 2. When can we expect even preliminary SPEC SFS numbers? 3. When can we expect Netbench numbers? One would guess they would be in the range of 30MB/second. 4. What is the maximum network connectivity? The spec sheet mentions 8 PCI slots, but I don't know if that includes those for tape and/or FC-AL. Bruce

The F760 actually has 9 pci slots, of which one is dedicated to the nvram card (just like in other filer models). Of the remaining 8 slots, 3 are 32-bit pci and 5 are 64-bit pci. And, yes, the power switch is in the back! Hope that helps! rgl
