How to remove good drive from Raid volume?
by Gordon Keegan 11 Aug '98

11 Aug '98

After configuring a new 520 with 12 data drives, 1 parity, and 1 hot spare, it was decided that one of the data drives should be reconfigured as a hot (or cold) spare. There's no data on the machine yet, so re-initialize is an option, I just can't find where the instructions are in the manuals or on the NOW web site. I don't want to 'disk fail' it unless there's a way to restore its status as a good drive. Any suggestions and/or solutions would be GREATLY appreciated!

Go ahead and re-initialize and then re-setup the filer. Boot from the floppy disk to do this. Bruce

Fixed: NFS processes using mount point question...

Hi, We found out that if you specify the hostname:/mountpoint with fuser -k you can kill off dead/hung process. We were hitting the problem due to typing fuser -k /localmountpoint. Thanks anyway! Julie

CIFS and NT ACLs experiences
by Garrett Burke 06 Aug '98

06 Aug '98

Hi All, A word of warning - OnTap 5.1 with its full NT ACLs has some problems. From bitter and ongoing experience I wouldn't advise using it on a production filer. If you are running this I'd advise getting onto netapp to get the latest bug fixes. I have been advised to run whack. Still haven't dared switch quotas back on. I used to think that those giving off about the quality of netapp SW were being a bit harsh, but now I'm not so sure. I know I'm running an early release, but never again. The troops will just have to wait for the new fetures.

NFS processes using mount point question...
by julie.stephen＠vf.vodafone.co.uk 06 Aug '98

06 Aug '98

Hi, We are using two NetApp F630's which replicate each other so that in the event of failure of one, the clients using that one can be switched over. We are using HP clients so would like to run fuser -ck to kill the processes hanging on the dead mount points. Unfortunately this does not work since fuser first attempts to stat the mount point and then seems to hang indefinately. We can kill the processes manually, but putting the list of "dead" processes together is going to be difficult without fuser. We thought of running fuser at regular points throughout the day while both servers are available and using this list of processes, but this is not a guaranteed way of capturing everything. Does anyone have any ideas ? Does lsof behave better on hung nfs mount points ? Many thanks Julie Stephen Vodafone Ltd. UK.

Re: Renaming quota trees

I'd suggest trying a test case. I know that after the "mv", "quota qtree" does show the new name, so I assume what I described will work. - Dan

Yes, it is. Just shut off quotas, "mv" the tree, change /etc/quotas, and restart quotas. You may have some stale file handle issues on clients afterwards if there was an old tree with similarly named files in active use. Dan

Moving a secondary volume to primary
by marc_merlin＠magic.metawire.com 30 Jul '98

30 Jul '98

Hi, I have a filer with two volumes, and I'd like to remove the first volume and keep the second one only. Is it as easy as doing: - copy of /etc from the first one to the second one - remove the firt volume - boot on floppy - download - reboot. ? Also, not that I have any reason to do that, but if I wanted to put the first volume back, how does the filer know which volume to boot on?
