FUND RELOCATION FOR INVESTMENT FROM MR.WANJALA FABIO KENYA Dear Friend, FUND RELOCATION FOR INVESTMENT I humbly seek your assistance in a business transaction that requires your ability to invest on our behalf for a minimum period of 5years, without the inference of a third party. The fund emanated from individual wealth, Political contribution, and contract kick - back by party members towards their next parliamentary election. With the present situation, I urge to relocate the funds to you for safe keeping/Investment, hence my decision to contact you. Details would be disclosed and the possibility to meet with you, on your ability to handle this transaction legally. The fund for the investment is valued at $ 50 Million. Thanks and look forward to your response. Regards, Wanjala Fabio Email: fabiowan(a)netscape.net

True... very true. Like I said - it would be much more convenient, but I'm not expecting it to change a great deal.

Hi Grey, > Thanks for the info. No problem. Have any more (SME/SD) questions? We are present and listening. > So I should be able to use NetApp Branded SD/SME with the IBM ontap and have a happy life then? Yes.

So I should be able to use NetApp Branded SD/SME with the IBM ontap and have a happy life then? Mostly I was just taking a stab at SD. I went from 4.0 to 4.1 and it required me to install 2 hot fixes (that I'm sure were needed) which are not publicly available. I was on hold with MS when I wrote it and a bit annoyed. With all that being said SD and SME are great products and make my admin tasks a bit easier when joe user needs his email restored. Thanks for all the replies guys..

RE: OCFS support
by Carter K. George 13 Apr '06

You could run OCFS using NetApps as a block storage device (iSCSI or Fibre Channel), not NFS. However, I recommend against doing this. If you have a NetApps already, you are much better off just running Oracle over NFS, which is certified and supported by Oracle on NetApps through the Oracle Storage Certification Program. There are actually two versions of OCFS, ocfs and ocfs2, and they are both weak. The first one was good *only* for oracle data files - you could not do regular file system operations in it reliably. The second one, an open source rewrite now maintained by SuSE Linux, is *only* good for standard files - it is not validated or approved by Oracle for use storing Oracle data files. You can use it for shared oracle home (where the Oracle binaries live, etc), but you can use NFS for that too. If you are looking for a Linux cluster file system, there are multiple other better options out there than OCFS. A detailed discussion of Linux CFS options is out of scope for this thread - drop me a line if you want the rundown - but for the NetApps customer, Oracle over NFS is a better approach all around. It's more reliable, you can use it for both files and databases, it's certified, and it is in production in lots of places.

Grey, You should be fine. Depending on how your 980 is configured, your performance may change. A 980 can be pretty powerful when it's loaded out. -Charles -----Original Message----- From: Grey Friday [mailto:grey.friday@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 2:13 PM To: Ledbetter, Charles Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: SME on IBM hardware leaning towards iSCSI On 4/13/06, Ledbetter, Charles <Charles.Ledbetter(a)netapp.com> wrote: Grey, Will it be a FCP or iSCSI setup on the new IBM hardware? -Charles -----Original Message----- From: Grey Friday [mailto:grey.friday@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 1:37 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: SME on IBM hardware Any one using SD/SME on IBM hardware?

Snap Drive
by Grey Friday 13 Apr '06

13 Apr '06

Is it just me or should netapp include hot fixes that it requires to install for windows.... I just grabbed 4.1 and have to call MS to to get the new hot fix patches... I suppose I could log into our premiere site and download them as well as call, but what If I didn't have a premiere agreement. Second to that they are requiring me to clearly install patches that have not been regression tested as of yet with MS........ opps. So every time someone calls to get these patches MS tells them not to install them on production boxes awesome....

Any one using SD/SME on IBM hardware? We got a pretty good quote on a 3050 IBM Branded. Is there any weired issues if I want to move it from my 980 to this solution? Will be SCSI disks and pretty much the same setup as the 980 except this will host only exchange and not the current setup with cifs/nfs/exchange
