FP'98 + IIS 4.0 + NT4 + CIFS
by Brian Tao 13 Mar '98

13 Mar '98

Does anyone have some experience setting up an NT4/IIS 4.0 Web server with the FrontPage extensions, using a Netapp as the data store? According to Microsoft (and supported by our own tests), FrontPage will *not* work to a network share. In fact, many Microsoft server products will lose much of their functionality if they are not run on local disks. I'm pretty much convinced this is an NT issue and not a Netapp one (since we can't get FrontPage to work even when sharing a filesystem from … [View More]

No one is using the Frontpage 98 extensions to IIS, as they don't work over a network share. As Mike Patchen pointed out, Microsoft has promised to fix this in … [View More]

postscript: ndmpcopy
by Alexei Rodriguez 11 Mar '98

11 Mar '98

Well, my migration of content between filers is complete and I have a few odd tidbits I thought I would share. - ndmpcopy is an interesting (but frustrating) program. It is great to be able to kick off a dump piped to a restore on a remote filer via ndmp. level0's work well. The time estimates are pretty accurate (I got 30GB in 7 hours) if a bit slow. The irritating aspect of it is that ndmpcopy "hangs" after the completion of the program (at least when the source filer is 4.2a and … [View More]

Successfull NDMP Stories
by Timothy A. McCarthy 10 Mar '98

10 Mar '98

Hi ther everyone. I have a customer that *wants/needs* to use NDMP. I know for a fact that BudTool works. Has anyone else had successful attempts with other packages? like Veritos? or even OpenVision? thanks! -- Timothy A. McCarthy --> System Engineer, Eastern Region.

VS: AIT vs. DLT7000
by Tronrud, Asle EDNO 09 Mar '98

09 Mar '98

In Norway we agree with Mr. Alexei regarding support of the AIT streamer from SONY or Seagate (called Sidewinder for Seagate) on the filers. It is correct that the DLT7000 (on the brochure) has the possibilities of slightly more sustained transfer the the AIT, but in real life the AIT slightly outperforms the DLT 7000 - and in addition the AIT's are 60% cheaper! In Norway the pricing at the moment is approximately DLT7000 85000 NOK and the AIT 35000 NOK. Big shock people wanting the AIT'… [View More]s. The AIT's are using the most powerful compression algorithm in the market (ALDC developed by IBM). Compression ratio is in average 1:2.6, which gives in average approx. 65 GB on each media. DLT's and Mammoth in average 1.8 (Mr Gremban, TI below is reporting an average on appr. 1.7) The sustained transfer is increasing to the same 1:2.6 ratio (7.8 MB/sec) In addition the AIT has a Metal evaporation and Carbon coating on the media which makes the media even more robust (archival time on media guaranteed from SONY > 30 years) Memory In Cassette (MIC) on the AIT makes the funniest difference: Media Load Time 10 sec - DLT 45 sec. (4,5 times faster) Average File Access 23 sec - DLT 60/68 sec (3 times faster) Regarding transfer rate, whether the AIT or the DLT7000 has any problems recieving the data from the NetApp filers because of the following: Since most of the filers installed usually is containing thousands and millions of small files instead of a few big files - this (whether one likes it or not) leads to an significant decrease in backup throughput. This happens not only on NetApp filers, but on all kinds of machines serving files out there. The MB/min output number will anyway be lower than the number handled by the AIT and DLT. So AIT is 60% cheaper, has 3-5 times faster access/media load time and arhival time in the media is more than 30 years. This is what is interesting to the customer base. You could buy two AIT streamers instead and place them both locally on the NetApp's - maybe this will do something with the numbers, I am not sure. By the way, AIT-2 is coming in the autumn this year. 130GB capacity and transfer rate 12MB/s compressed. Please support the AIT's!

We are not quite seeing 2:1 compression, we get about 60GB compressed on each 35GB tape. -Steve Gremban gremban(a)ti.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous message follows: I would like to see AIT supported; we currently use DLT, but as our backup needs are approaching 300GB (well, as soon as I get my new filer), DLT is not cutting it (backup/restore times are too long). Also, the media is a huge problem (DLT's are not all too happy with a drop...). I suspect that these additional drives will be supported eventually.
