New Idea for Netapp..Filer as a syslog master host
by Greg Wilson 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Netapp Filer as a syslog master host. I want to set our 200+ unix servers to send all their syslog messages/data to the netapp and then archive all the data to a Snaplock Volume. Other things that would make it better - The netapp could do make a snap lock volume every week and keep it for x number of years. - The netapp can have a seperate qtree for each host sysloging to it. - Different data retention periods for different classes of hosts -- Greg Wilson Senior System Administrator greg.wilson(a)aapt.com.au

OnTap & LDAP authentication method
by Jeff Bryer 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

I'm trying to configure up our new NetApp (FAS3020) running OnTap 7.0.1R1 to use LDAP for authentication. When it binds to our server it is using method=163 which is SASL. How can I change it to use simple authentication (the equivalent of the -x flag on ldapsearch)? Thanks, -- Jeff Bryer bryer(a)sfu.ca Systems Administrator (604) 291-4935 Academic Computing, Simon Fraser University

Trap Mapping Tests
by Robert Borowicz 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Is there a way to trigger a trap to be sent by a Filer (DOT 6.5.4) to a Net Mgmt station for testing? I have Aprisma's (old Cabletron now owned by CA) Spectrum in house and have my filer modeled in the Spectrum database as a Generic SNMP model. Spectrum allows you to add OID's to the existing Gen SNMP model extending Trap support. Mapping Traps into Spectrum for the filer has numerous benefits for me not the least of which is I can then create an Alarm in Spectrum and use my dedicated Paging Server machine (which dials my Paging provider directly and does not rely on the Network to send an email-page) to notify me of Filer Events such as failed disk or P/S. I have downloaded the MIB from the NOW site for 6.5.4 to reference the OID's I'll need to feed to Spectrum. Now I want to trigger an actual Trap for a given Filer event to test my mapping and what the Filer *actually* sends out. Anybody do this already? Thanks -Bob Borowicz

netapp + solaris + veritas dynamic multipathing problem
by Steve Losen 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

We have 3 email servers running Solaris 8 and Veritas 4.1 and a fas960c pair running DOT 7.0.1R1. These are all connected to a pair of FC SAN switches. Each email server has 4 LUNs, 2 from each filer, for a total of 12 LUNs. Dynamic multi-pathing works fine on two email servers. However, on one server, DMP works for two LUNs and fails for two. The two LUNs that fail are coming from the same filer. If we "cf takeover" on one filer, the two LUNs get I/O errors. It doesn't matter which filer runs "cf takeover". We have been trying to isolate the problem. The email servers are essentially identical, with the same patches and the same Veritas package installed. lun show -v on the filers does not show any difference that matters. All LUNs are "Multiprotocol Type: solaris". We ran the veritas command to show all the paths to the LUNs and we do not see any obvious problem with the LUNs that fail. We have the right number of paths and they are correct. The paths that are supposed to be primary are indeed primary, ditto for secondary. We have ports 7a and 7b from both filers connected to one switch and 9a and 9b connected to the other. The email hosts all have dual port Qlogic HBAs and we have the ports plugged into different switches. The switches are not directly connected to each other. A little more background -- A week ago we were running an older version of veritas, had only one SAN switch (instead of two) and had only one FC target adapter in each filer, and we had this same problem. So even after this major SAN reconfiguration and software upgrade, the same problem persists. Does anyone have any ideas? We are thinking about creating two new LUNs, migrating the data over from the bad LUNs and deleting them. Steve Losen scl(a)virginia.edu phone: 434-924-0640 University of Virginia ITC Unix Support

Extra Time - Last 5-10 times longer
by Santiago Harmon 14 Aug '05

14 Aug '05

Hello, Did you ejaculate before or within a few minutes of penetration? Premature ejaculation occurs when you ejaculate too quickly and without control. It occurs before or shortly after penetration. Premature ejaculation interferes with the sexual pleasure of both you and your partner. It causes feelings of guilt, embarrassment, frustration, and depression. Extra-Time is the only male sexual performance formula that, not only stops premature ejaculation, but actually "cures" it. Extra-Time is the only product that allows "YOU" to control when you ejaculate. - Non-hormonal herbal therapy. - Acts locally on the sex organs. - Regulates process of ejaculation. - Acts through neuro-endocrine pathway. - Acts on the high centers of emotion in the brain.

RE: EOA gear
by Lai, Derek 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

I need some suggestion on best way to configure this old filer for performance. It has one DS14 shelf of 36 GB drive, 1 DS14 of 18 GB drive, 1 FC9 with 9 GB zoned checksum, 1 FC9 with 18 GB zoned checksum and 1 FC9 with 36 GB zoned checksum disks. I'm using the 9 GB FC9 drives as root volume since these drives' performance seems to be really slow. This should not have negative performance impact, right? I currently have 12 of the 36 GB drives in the DS14 configuired as 1 volume and the rest configured as another volume. I'm leaving 2 of each disk type as spare just in case due to the age of the drives. Now the users are telling me that the performance is really slow. They say that the performance is only a quarter (25%) of a volume with 14 DS14 72 GB drives on our other FAS940. I thought the 840 is about 60% of a 940? Does this look like some kind of configuration issue or is this about what it's supposed to do? Would I get better performance by combining all the drives into 1 volume? I've never dealt with zone checksum drives. How much performance do I lose? Derek -----Original Message----- From: Lai, Derek Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 12:07 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: EOA gear Our parent company has a old netapp (F840) that they are lending to us for a 2-month critical project. Unfortunately the machine is out of maintenance. It has old X219F, X221D, X225B, X233A and X234B drives. I saw on NOW that these are all pretty much EOA drives. X219F is even End of Hardware Support. Does that mean basically you can't get them from NetApp at all? For the other drives, we are checking to see if we can get support for them. Although for 2 month, maybe we are better off just purchasing them from support? Is that something that we can readily do? What kind of turn-around can we expect? Anyone else been through this before? Derek
