Direct attached storage needed, slightly offtopic
by Adam McDougall 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Not a netapp ;) but I am looking for recommendations for a directly attached raid shelf that uses scsi disks and has a capacity of around 1 T. We dont need much space at all but I want enough disks to make a raid5 make sense. 7 or less 72gb disks would be ideal, but have enough slots for future expansion. I am looking for something that is COMPLETELY software independant, has its own network port for sending notices and for configuation (and/or config through serial). I don't want to fool around with software needed on the host system to monitor and/or manage it at all. Other than being SATA, various Nexsan products look appropriate, but I'm looking for a company that has appropriate products centering on reliability, price, and decent speed. We have not had specific component problems in the past, so I'm not sure dual controllers, cables etc would help, simply isolated or chronic quirkyness with medium to disasterous effects. I want something that acts solid and predictable from the moment you first plug it in. I'm not sure I want to dive into iSCSI yet, or if it would work well in our environment. My concerns with that are client support (Solaris 9, Linux 2.6, FreeBSD 6.x) and what would happen in the case of network drops. We don't have a seperate storage network now.

Glenn, In a couple of cases that I have worked in the past, I have seen flowcontrol issues from a Foundry Big Iron switch. These were typically resolved by setting the switchport to default on the GB interface. I am not a Foundry expert and do not know the commands to do this. However, setting the GB port to default has solved this problem in the past in a few of the cases that I have had. -----Original Message----- From: Philip Boyle [mailto:philip.boyle@eircom.net] Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 11:03 AM To: Glenn Walker Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Flow Control Query Hi Glenn, Thanks for the response. I'd seen a forum posting regarding the 'transmit desired' config options, however, the foundry kit we have only supports either 'flowcontrol' or 'no flowcontrol'. We're going to open a case with Foundry. Given we have this working using fibre, I can only imagine it's a possible hardware incompatability issue. Thanks alot for replying.

Cher Ami,
by villaran＠pobox.sk 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Cher Ami, Je sais que vous serez étonnez de recevoir mon mail et je vous comprends mais voyez vous cher monsieur, apres mure réflexion, je me décide enfin, mais avant, je tiens a me présenter a vous. Je me rejoui que vous avyez enfin pri contact avec moi. Mon nom est madame Villaran Nenita,je suis une citoyenne philippienne a part entiere et la veuve du défunt ministre des finances philippien qui est mort le 15 mai 2002. Mon mari est tombé gravement malade est a donc été conduit en Europe pour des soins intensifs, mais plus tard il est décédé des suites de sa maladie et a été enterré. J’ai donc hérité de mon défunt mari la somme de 12.000.000 de dollars américains (douze millions de dollars américains). Cet argent, je l’ai caché dans une mallette métallique et déposé au sein d’une compagnie de finance et de sécurité ici en Philippine.Cependant, ayant insisté aupres de la compagnie de finance et de sécurité pour que ma mallette soit gardée avec un maximum de sécurité de tel sorte que personne ni meme une organisation gouvernementale philippienne ne puisse prendre connaissance de son existence, jusqu’a ce que je sois prete a la retirer, alors la dite compagnie pour répondre a mon exigence maximum de sécurité a utilisé des moyens diplomatiques pour envoyer ma mallette hors des philippines et précisément a la maison mere de leur compagnie en côte d’ivoire en Afrique de l’ouest ou ma mallette se trouve donc discretement gardée dans le coffre fort de la compagnie. Ce dépôt a été fait et codé dans le cadre d’un arrangement secret selon lequel ma mallette contient uniquement des biens de famille.Cela signifie donc que la compagnie elle meme ne connaît pas le contenu exact de la mallette qui pour plus de sécurité a été envoyée en côte d’ivoire sous une assurance diplomatique et déclarée comme contenant des biens de famille .Aussi,la raison principale pour laquelle je vous envoie ce courrier est qu’aujourd’hui, n’ayant plus confiance en mon entourage ici en philippine et la côte d’ivoire étant un pays en proie a la guerre, je me retrouve dans une impasse et je voudrais que vous m’aidiez discretement a emmener ma mallette d’argent a une adresse beaucoup plus discrete et stable dans votre pays ou je pourrai commencer a investir. Si vous voulez sincerement m’aider, nous discuterons au préalable du pourcentage que je vous donnerai sur la somme totale se trouvant dans la mallette. En fait, depuis la mort de mon mari, ses freres m’ont chassée de la maison familiale et ont essayé a plusieurs reprises de porté atteinte a ma vie pensant qu’a ma mort tous les documents légaux des biens que possédaient mon mari leur reviendraient de plein droit.Grâce a la notoriété et aux relatons influentes que possedent les freres de mon mari, ils ont réussi a m’arracher toutes les propriétés de mon défunt mari ainsi que tous ses biens matériels. Mais ils ne se sont pas arretés la et m’ont obligée a leur révéler tous les comptes bancaires de mon défunt mari en menaçant a nouveau ma vie.Je leur est donc donner ces informations et ils ont confisqués tous les comptes bancaires de feu mon mari.Je leur est tout révéler sauf l’existence de ce dépôt que j’ai fait au sein de la compagnie de finance et de sécurité a Abidjan en côte d’ivoire car ceci représente tout mon secret espoir caché. La famille de mon défunt mari n’est donc pas informé de l’existence de ce dépôt que j’ai fait au sein de la compagnie de sécurité et elle ne le saura jamais. Cependant, j’ai toujours peur des freres de mon mari car ils continuent a m’espionner et vont jusqu’a écouter mes conversations. C’est pourquoi j’ai décidé de chercher quelqu’un de confiance a l’extérieur des philippines qui m’aidera a retirer la mallette de la compagnie de finance et de sécurité et placer discretement l’argent dans son compte a l’étranger pour un investissement futur. Je vous demande de considérer ma situation qui est celle d’une veuve et de venir a mon aide car aujourd’hui a part cette mallette, je n’ai plus d’argent et ma situation financiere est plus que difficile(ma situation financiere est a zéro). Et ma demande d’aide est d’autant plus urgente que je paye 100 dollars par jour a cette compagnie de sécurité comme frais de stockage et de sécurité de ma mallette. Si vous désirez m’aider, je vous ferez parvenir dans mon prochain email, les coordonnées de la compagnie de securité afin que vous les contactiez pour l’envoie immédiat de cette mallette vers vous pour la securiser. Je vous remercie infiniment pour votre coopération et j’attends de vos nouvelles pour la conclusion de cette affaire. Bien a vous MADAME VILLARAN NENITA NB:Que cette année soit pour nous source d'espoir

We have this issue with our Nortel 8600s. We went round and round with their support and got nowhere. We updated our switch microcode/firmware too. It just doesn't work on the Nortel 8600. It's not the filer but the switch. We tried a different switch and it worked just fine. I guess that's what you get when you don't use what everyone else uses (Cisco). ifstat e4a LINK_INFO Current state: up | Up to downs: 4 | Auto: on Speed: 1000m | Duplex: full | Flowcontrol: none Brian From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com on behalf of Philip Boyle Sent: Mon 3/27/2006 10:56 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Flow Control Query Hi guys, Have any of you had issues with the network interface on a filer not negociating to full flowcontrol? <snip>

RE: Direct attached storage needed, slightly offtopic
by Ben Rockwood 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Honestly, if you can afford it, consier NetApp for the gig anyway. With a Filer you can fibre channel local attach, you can NAS, you can to iSCSI, you can attach it to a SAN. It really will grow with you and your needs over time as you evolve. Its only a cost issue. Consider a FAS270 or something "little" and grow it up over time. I'm not saying NetApp is the right solution, but don't rule it out, even for this project. That said, I hear a lot of good things about ATAboy's. benr. -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com on behalf of Adam McDougall Sent: Mon 3/27/2006 10:45 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Cc: Subject: Direct attached storage needed, slightly offtopic Not a netapp ;) but I am looking for recommendations for a directly attached raid shelf that uses scsi disks and has a capacity of around 1 T.

We have seen this in the past with Cisco. Do not think that what you set the filer to is what is going to be negotiated. Check your switch to see what the setting is. I suspect that the switch is set to "None" If you change your switch the filer should change within 10 minutes. Let me know if you have additional questions.
