Re: NIS Binding Problem
by John F. Kane 19 Mar '98

19 Mar '98

I have not located any reported bugs in the NOW Bugs Online database that resemble this problem. Is NetApp aware of this problem and working a solution? Turning off NIS may stop the problem from reoccurring but is not a solution to the problem. The NetApp NIS implementation is a relatively new addition to ONTAP and may need some attention.

Netcache direction?
by Jaye Mathisen 18 Mar '98

18 Mar '98

Anybody actually using a caching appliance? I am looking at doing transparent proxy, but it would be nice if some of the IP header translation stuff could be done in the netapp, rather than at another machine. With the near 100% uptime of my filers, I hate the thoughts of introducing a less reliable solution.

Cadence software on FAServer
by Philip Thomas 18 Mar '98

18 Mar '98

I would like to know: (a) how many sites (or you know of) are using FAServer as NFS server for Cadence packages (libraries, design home etc) and for how long? (b) how many sites have tried to use it and gave up? If so, briefly, what were the reasons? Philip Thomas Motorola - ATL, M/S M350 2200 W.

I think like most corporate web sites, it is usually up to date, but sometimes one group does get ahead of the other even in the most organized companies. I'm sure it's just an oversight, and/or the NOW people not having the time/ability/resources/information/etc. to update it completely. >I noticed in the 5.0 announcement that they say the Exabyte Mammoth is >only supported on the F630. Why would such a limitation be made? I don't know much about the Mammoth... does it only come in wide SCSI? That and QA reasons (the 630 might be the only current platform that they had time to test it with) could explain the limitation. Or perhaps there is some bug still to be worked out on other platforms (ah, the wonderful world of strange hardware chip interactions!). >And while I'm here, I might mention that the PDF file format is quite >possibly the second most annoying thing found on the internet, >surpassed only by spam.

I agree with you that PDF is, sadly, annoying but it is more-or-less the best standard out their currently. I don't know by "useless" text if you meant it was just not informative or you had difficulty reading it... you usually need to zoom in a level when using the Adobe Acrobat reader for it to be legible. IMHO, every web site should offer documentation in PDF, PS, MSWord, HTML, and plain TXT. Bruce

ontap 5.0?
by Dave Cole 18 Mar '98

18 Mar '98

Well, I heard it is out. I went to the now.netapp.com site. I see the announcement, I go to the software library. ONTAP 3.1.6 is the latest recommended release? What happened to 4.3.1? I think something is broken. Either that, or NetApp is celebrating April 1st a little early. I noticed in the 5.0 announcement that they say the Exabyte Mammoth is only supported on the F630. Why would such a limitation be made? And while I'm here, I might mention that the PDF file format is quite possibly the second most annoying thing found on the internet, surpassed only by spam. I blew off far too much time trying to get a reader for the 5.0 readme file, only to find 1.25 pages of almost-completely-useless text. ------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Cole (DC1110) | dacole(a)netcom.ca Systems Administrator | dacole(a)vex.net | office/~dacole/ Netcom Canada | www.vex.net/~dacole/ 905 King Street West, Toronto, M6K 3G9 | phone - 416.341.5801 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Earth, Sol | fax - 416.341.5725

NIS Binding Problem
by John F. Kane 18 Mar '98

18 Mar '98

Has anyone experienced NIS binding problems on their filers? We have four filers (3 F330s & 1 F230) running Ontap 4.3R3 that have been locking out users on a few occasions this past week The UNIX servers and user workstations trying to access the filers are reporting "server not responding: RPC: Timed out" errors. There is not much helpful in the filer logs. In order to unhang the filer, we must manually rebind it to a different NIS slave server. -- John F. Kane

NOW lists it in early release, but I haven't had the guts to try it yet.
