RE: ndmpcopy?
by Kelly Wyatt 22 Jul '98

22 Jul '98

I recently moved 65gb from one filer to another using ndmpcopy. The first try was successful from an ndmpcopy standpoint, but I ran out of space on my target volume (duh!). However, succeeding tries were not successful - it crashed the *source* (production) filer. I see from a followup post that this is probably caused by the level of my dump... I also heard from netapp that this should be fixed in 5.01. I was running 4.3.1 on the source filer and 5.1 on the target filer. Due to unforeseen circumstances (let's just say it wasn't pretty), this filer is now at 5.01. I plan to try a copy again. By the way, we achieved about 6gb per hour on 100bT ethernet between 2 F630's.

thanks to all for the very kind offers to host the list. i'd sort of thought that this para i sent last week cleared that up, but apparently not, so: my replacement here at MathWorks has agreed to shoulder the SYSMAN's burden and continue with the list. again, though, thanks to the many kind offers of space for same - it's much appreciated.

Re: INN 1.7.2+insync/Overview/5.0.1 F520-110

We had a similar problem and my admin(aos) had to re-write the file locking code.We never did get it working entirely to my satisfaction, though it did fix the overview problems. We are now running Typhoon (Sparc20/630) and all of our INN problems (or most anyways) have gone away. --- On Sun, 19 Jul 1998 20:40:14 +0200 sthaug(a)nethelp.no wrote: >> We recently (~6-8 weeks ago) put up a F520-110 Filer running >> 5.0.1 software.

What > other information should/could I supply to help? Yes, we have seen this, with an F330 running 3.1.5. I "fixed" it by simply removing the code that locks the overview files - would rather risk having two processes access the file at the same time than having these loops. As far as I can see, all we risk is one of the readers getting inconsistent overview data for a group - we can live with that. We recently upgraded to 4.3.3D2 - haven't tried using the locking code again after this upgrade. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug(a)nethelp.no

Re: bug fix for na_snapmon

I think this is the sort of proglet that could usefully live on the filer itself employing the java VM that's lurking under the hood somewhere which everyone's not talking about at the moment. > Hi everyone. > > I just fixed a minor bug in na_snapmon (it would try to delete dump > snapshots all of the time instead of just the ones that were more than > two days old).

No CPU stats with filer-mrtg
by Scott MacDonald 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

After reading the reports in this list, I've managed to get filer-mrtg installed and working fine except for the CPU stats, which are all permanently zero. The network, NFS and disk stats are great, but I'd like the CPU as well. Has anyone else had the same problem, or could advise me where to look to fix this. I know nothing about SNMP, so trying to find out what's wrong is a bit difficult. TIA, Scott. _______________________________________________________________ Scott MacDonald Mobile Systems International Plc Tel: 0171 971 8798 System Administrator Fax: 0171 971 8712 E-Mail: scott(a)msi-uk.com _______________________________________________________________
