by g.graceinternationalss＠virgilio.it 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Your Kind Attention: I am the PRESIDENT OF GRACE INTERNATIONAL, Import and Export Company based in the China. My company exports consumable proceesing raw materials and other goods/services for world trade. What we really require is someone who can represent this company in the US/CANADA and some parts of Europe. We have been having problems with clients in these regions because they are politely refusing to pay for shipments on one excuse or the other so we need a representative that can assist us in clearing our money in their respective countries. Be informed that as our representative, you will receive 10% of whatever amount you receive for the company and the balance will be paid into an account we will avail to you. The second thing required of you would be for you to establish a relationship on behalf of our company with other similar companies in your country so that we can have new ideas and directions. This job is rather easy and does not require a lot of expertise. If you are interested in this business offer, please email me at: shunlao(a)netscape.net Very Respectfully, Shun Lao. President GRACE INTERNATIONAL. Goods for Import / Export & Freight Fwdg. Svcs.

Individual quota data via snmp?
by Sphar, Mike 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

So we're fighting the constant battle here about never enough space, no matter how much we buy, and the complaints we get back are "well, I don't see how we could be using that much space, who is using it?" which in itself is a relatively simply question to answer once by pulling a quota report, but what we're finding the need to do is have some automated process whereby managers can look at say a web page and see the current status of how much space is being used by whom. (We are, however, forbidden from actually enforcing quotas.) I had hoped I might be able to pull individual user and tree quota reports from the filer via snmp, but I'm not having much luck with it, and what little I'm finding about it online is implying that the snmp quota implementation is not complete, but then those comments seem to be several years old. I had some thoughts of actually tracking certain specific problem users with cacti, keeping long term trend graphs of their space usage, but can't seem to actually get individual quota numbers from snmp. So any suggestions out there about tools, scripts, whatever that can do this for us? A nicely formatted html page that anyone can access would be ideal. -- Michael W.

That could be enough for what I need, I had some problems with quota data in DFM in the past but I haven't tried with the latest version. The question would be if I can automate generating those reports and posting them somewhere else, as anything that required authentication would be a problem for the audience I want to get this data. Also, I don't recall that DFM stores long-term trend data for individual quotas, so for that I assume I'd need to extract the data regularly and inject it into rrd charts or something. -- Michael W.

Hi Mike, Have you had a look at the SRM (Storage Resource Management) module for DFM..... Look at Chapter 7 : http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/DFM_win/rel33/html/software/adm in/srm.htm This allows you to install host agents on Windows / Unix / Linux systems that access shares & exports.

Syncsort backup express and Hitachi GF920
by John Files 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Hi, Anyone out there using Backup Express successfully? We have a rather strange problem: Copied all user data from our old F740 to the GF920 HDS (used both cp and ndmpcopy in separate tests) I am able to mount from the GF920 via nfs and see all the data.Likewise with a CIFS share. When I use Backup Express to browse the copied data it doesn't see all the files I can see via CIFS/NFS. Various dirs are missing,apparently at random.Therefore it can't perform a valid backup. Anyone got any ideas? John -- John Files <jhf(a)dmu.ac.uk>

Adding Filers to Win2K3 Domains
by Andrew Clark 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).
