Adding Filers to Win2K3 Domains
by Andrew Clark 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Chaps I am about to finally leave my NT4 domain for the brave new world of Win2K3. I have FAS3020Cs and would like to know of any gotchas I should be aware of. Any GPO settings Local Groups That sort of thing. I have done some research but haven't really thrown up any information. Very many thanks Andy Clark -- ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/

RE: snapinfo -- exchange on netapp
by Glenn Walker 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Jochen - hard to say. The argument for putting everything on one massive aggregate is so that you have the performance you need with the existing disk capacity (vs having multiple aggregates\volumes each with their own parity disks). However, planning for failure, it is possible but very unlikely for an aggregate to go offline due to some sort of failure. That being said, you might lose the filer itself during a disaster. The documentation states that everything should be in a separate volume, and sites Microsoft as stating this. Undoubtedly, MS states this for DR reasons, while NetApp states it for issues with snapshots (and with tradvols, for DR reasons). After giving this much thought, my recommendation would be one huge aggregate with multiple volumes - it gives you the performance you need without wasting disks. If you really need to worry about DR, then RAID-DP and SnapMirror are the right solutions (to prevent failure and to deal with failure when it happens, respectively).

ToasterView + Big volume support
by jeff.mery＠ni.com 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

I'm currently playing with ToasterView (http://www.cuddletech.com/code/toasterview/index.html). It looks like something we'll want to run with, but I've hit a snag. ToasterView uses the deprecated dfTable values in the MIB to pull volume sizes. This is okay for volumes less than 2^31 KB (~2TB) in size. In fact, everything looks good for volumes under this on our systems. However we have one volume on each head greater than 2TB (one is 3+ and the other is ~4). My problem is this: NetApp implemented new MIB values to address this issue. There is now a high and low value representing the high-order and low-order 32 bits of a 64-bit number. Has anyone modified ToasterView (and Toasterview_rrd) to use these new values and support volumes > 2TB in size? If so, would you be willing to share the code (or appropriate snippets)?

RE: cifs username to map as a domain\username
by Glenn Walker 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

I fear your options may be limited. I know little about the Ricoh product, but would suspect that they have documentation on getting this to function in a domain (any domain). I would also suspect that you would need to create a machine account for the printer in the domain to enable this functionality, but I could be wrong. A quick search turns up some promising evidence of this, but I do not know your specific device type. I'd definitely recommend a healthy dose of 'google' before continuing too deeply here... Barring the above, I fear that the passthru authentication may be your only hope, specifically given the fact that the device does not prepend the username with a domain (at least not correctly). One thing that would be immensely helpful: a snippet of the cifs trace login info and perhaps a packet trace to help understand exactly what is going on. At this juncture, you may be wary to share this information with the 'group' here (and the rest of the world as the data is archived on a web-host somewhere) - I'd recommend opening a case with NetApp support if packet trace is the only path you can take.

RE: cifs username to map as a domain\username
by Glenn Walker 29 Mar '06

Yup - that is called 'passthrough authentication'. It is sometimes required with SnapDrive as well (when no domain is used). It does work, and it works well. It isn't as secure as using domain authentication, but it still has a password that must be supplied. Quick note - if you try to use passthrough authentication from a windows machine that IS a member of a domain, you must enable 'unencrypted passwords for third party SMB servers' - shouldn't matter here though.
