Does anyone know any netapp reps in Los Angeles they wouldn't mind putting me in touch with? Probably best to respond off-list as there's no need to spam everyone. Thanks in advance, Nick

RE: RAC install on NetApp
by Webster, Stetson 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

Only a few million. TR3369 is a netapp doc. It used to be here: Http://www.netapp.com/library/tr/3369.pdf In short, the problem is likely either a host NFS config or even Oracle config. EVERY one of the NFS mount options are critical. Also do this search on the NOW site: "nfs mount databases" (currently emailing from mobile, can't verify links now). -----Original Message----- From: Robert K. Borowicz [mailto:rob-7704@austin.rr.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 10:32 AM Pacific Standard Time To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RAC install on NetApp Toasters, My DBA just came to me and complained that a Ora RAC 10g build took 18 hours when using a Filer NFS mount. Seems I've heard of this issue before but forget the fix. Has someone seen this before ? TIA -Rob

performance comparisons between VMware on iSCSI and NFS
by Milazzo Giacomo 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

HI all We've just discussed about this but I'm looking for more realistic samples that compare VMware on iSCSI and on NFS. With "realistic" I mean not 100% sequentials read/write like the ones that have been presented at VMworld. Have you something about? Thank you in advance

Upgrade 900 series to 3000 series filer
by No More Linux! 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

we need to replace an older 900 series cluster with a new 3070 cluster. i want to make sure i dont miss anything or gotchas etc, looked on NOW but didnt find a complete guide or maybe i searched wrong. we have 2 new 3070 heads and cables in the box and here is the current plan 1) shutdown and unmount storage nfs/iscsi 2) update to current ontap 7.2.4 (currently at 7.2.3) 3) reboot and allow shelf/disk firmware updates to complete 4) shutdown and remove 9XX heads and cabling 5) install 3070 heads, recable primary and secondary loops 6) power on heads, ensure licenses are current and installed and verify volumes 7) reload ontap with 3000 series architecture release 7.2.4 7) update rc file with new interface names any major gaps in the above or comments from folks who have done this recently? i went over this with the netapp tech rep and it seems pretty straightforward but always want peer review :)

Quick program I put together
by Nicholas Bernstein 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

All, I put together a quick program which calculates the actual usable space you get based on the various configuration options you can set on a filer. It's a .net application but I'm guessing it should run via wine for any *nix folks. I need to add SAS disks as an option, and if anyone knows of an authoritative source on rightsizing (I calculated the percentages based on looking at specific disk information). Anyway, it's somewhat thrown together and not completely finished, but I thought I would see if any folks out there might find it useful before I wasted any more time on it. Also, it would be nice to see how close it gets to people's actual configurations. I'm guessing there might be some rounding errors as well as some fuzzy rightsizing. love to get some feedback, Nick http://nicholasbernstein.com/calc/netapp_calc.zip

Re: Can I view AD users data on filer
by Evan Battle 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Mount the shares and view the NTFS permisions on the files/folders within share_1. You wont have any access to modify NTFS permissions from the CLI on the filer (only share permissions). xischaune wrote: > > Dear Evan... > Thanx for the reply...can you be a bit more specific as to what i need to > do...let me clarify the picture to you... > Im accessing the filer through the management port over ehternet, using > the command line interface. > I can see the cifs shares (say share_1) through "cifs shares" command, but > i dont find any "ls" or "cd" command to see the user files and folders in > the share_1. > You are referring to setting permissions, how do i do that. > OR > do i need to mount the filer as a client of windows AD domain and then > view the files and folders inside share_1. > > > > > Evan Battle wrote: >> >> If you are asking can you browse the file data of a user that resides in >> AD, the answer is yes, if you have the rights to do so.

iscsi, mpio of multiple connections with a single head
by netapp.filer＠gmail.com 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hi, I was wondering what the opinions are regaring setting up iscsi and MPIO. I have the following setup: Windows 2003 host, two nics for iSCSI, MS iSCSI initiator, Snapdrive 5.0 Two Network switches Netapp FAS3020 single head, with 2 nics for iSCSI (should I set this up as a vif?) How should I set up the IP adresses on the host, should I use a single vif on the filer? I have searched on the NOW site but there are no guides for this configuration, all config guides only discuss HA (Clustered filers) configurations -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/iscsi%2C-mpio-of-multiple-connections-with-a-single-h… Sent from the Network Appliance - Toasters mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Failed shelf
by Robert Lazzurs 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hello, We have just been informed by NetApp that we have a failed shelf and a new shelf is on the way. I forgot to ask before I got off the phone if we would be able to use our trial license of SnapMirror to allow us to do this shelf swap over without downtime? This is a FC shelf and we only have enough space to mirror the volumes on to a SATA shelf. Will this work or am I mad? Take care.
