Mixed Mode
by Tracy Russell 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

Does anyone know the future of the security mode -- "mixed mode"? Several co-workers returned from NetApp training stating that this particular mode is not encouraged and may be dropped in the not too distant future from NetApp support. Has anyone else heard this or can confirm this to any degree? We are about to set up a new Filer and I'm trying to decide what to do with a volume that is currently configured for mixed mode security on an old Filer. If anyone has experiences changes from mixed mode to either all CIFS or NFS, I'd appreciate their inputs as well. Thanks. Tracy

See doc/faq/simulator_access_from_same_host.htm: | You can only access the simulator from the same host if you have 2 network | cards in your Linux machine that are connected to the same subnet. This is due | to the way the simulator interacts with the network stack of the Linux host. | VMware makes this easy as you can just add another virtual adapter into the | same virtual switch and configure it in Linux. -- Luke --

RE: NetApp FC SAN - Experiences
by Johan Gislen 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

I have very limited long-term experience with the SAN capabilities of our 3020c (one head used for FCP - one shelve with 10k 144 gb drives), but so far everything seems to be just as great as the NAS capabilities. We're using it for storing Exchange 2003 (2-node cluster), and VMware ESX (3 VMware nodes) and haven't noticed disk performance being a bottleneck. I don't think you can use Powerpath, NetApp have their own software for multipathing - SnapDrive. Not sure how a 3050c compares to the CX700, but I believe there is a whitepaper that compares a filer with a CX500 on NetApp's website. As for comparing the administration of LUNs on the NetApp compared to an older EMC FC4700 we have, I can only describe it as unbelievably simple! regards, Johan > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com > [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Bret Jacobson > Sent: den 19 april 2006 16:32 > To: toasters(a)mathworks.com > Subject: NetApp FC SAN - Experiences > > > We are going to test a spare 3050 head (with two shelves of > 10k 144gb drives) > with FC.

In regards to the IBM and the ONTAP revisions
by Grey Friday 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Hey guys, Wanted to send a quick note about the release tree of IBM branded ontap. Does NetApp suspect that the release trees will co-inside? Or is it suspected that IBM will go through it's own evaluations before releasing a revision later then NetApp does? Also do they have the ability to make there own changes other than branding? Or can I expect the release to be the same as what I can get from the now site? As always thanks in advance. -Grey

Hp storageworks MSL 5000 with GF920
by John Files 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Hi, just wondered if anyone has any experience of setting up an HP storageworks MSL 5000 with a GF920.It's connected via a SCSI card but the tape drive is unusable. I've tried the following and wondered if I've missed anything obvious! we've been given an HP Storageworks MSL 5000 tape library which contains a Compaq SuperDLT1 drive.This is connected to a X2027 Adaptec SCSI card as supplied by netapp. Problem is that the drive is recognised as non-qualified so won't work. I've tried various suggestions from the NOW site but can't get it to work eg should be the same drive as the Quantum SuperDLT1/SDLT220 so I've setup a cloned_tapes file with the following emulation (from solution ntapcs8340). COMPAQ SuperDLT1 EMULATES Quantum SuperDLT1 (also tried SDLT220) enigma>storage show tape supported Quantum SDLT220 so in theory it should work. enigma>mt -f nrst0a status mt: open of tape nrst0a failed enigma>sysconfig -t Tape drive (5a.1) COMPAQ SuperDLT1 (Non-qualified tape drive) enigma> storage show tape error: unable to obtain info for device at id 0 enigma> storage show mc Medium Changer: 5a.0 Description: COMPAQ MSL5000 Series Serial Number: 3G31LBV38DLD World Wide Name: Alias Name(s): mc0 Device State: available If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated Regards John -- John Files <jhf(a)dmu.ac.uk>

Dataprotector and NDMP
by Patrick van Helden 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Does anyone have any experience in backing up a FAS270 cluster with HP Dataprotector? Our setup is the following: 1 * HP Dataprotector Cell manager 1 * HP Dataprotector Media Manager with NDMP plug in Scalar 24 tape library connected to node 1 of the filer cluster Both filers are added as NDMP servers in Dataprotector as described in the HP Integration Guide. DataOntap 7.0.2 Backing up the volumes of node 1 succeeds, backing op de volumes of node 2 failes. The backup job seems to search for the node 2 volumes on the first head (node 1).
