RE: experience with iSCSI from W2K3 servers?
by Alan Biren 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

When working with iSCSI on W2K3 server or any Microsoft OS, the key is the networking component. If it is at all possible, I enable Jumbo Frames and create a separate VLAN for the storage traffic, very similar to a FC SAN. You also want to make sure that you Bind the Volumes and make the target Persistent. I also use a VIF (multi or single) as well as etherchannels and NIC Teaming to try to aggregate bandwidth. If you are able to use SnapDrive, it'll make connecting and managing the LUNs much easier, especially if you will need to increase their size. I've only used HP Proliant servers. I've used the MS iSCSI Initiator (all versions) and the QLOGIC 4010. If you are going to cluster and iSCSI environment, I recommend reading MS Article 883397. I would follow the steps even if it not a pure iSCSI environment. -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Rob Winters Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 5:39 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: experience with iSCSI from W2K3 servers? Does anyone have feedback or gotchas about W2K3 accessing large iSCSI space on NetApp filers? With what hardware? HBA and/or software initiator? How about clustering W2K3 servers to a NetApp iSCSI target, or similar HA configurations? Thanks! /// Rob P.S.

How to use non netapp disks on an F720 netapp ?
by Anton 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

Hello, I have an old F720 it has 3 9gig drives , but 2 of them are dead , i would love to be able to reuse this netapp but netapp drives are too expensive for me , as i use this stuff at home i'm not able to invest more . I tried to make an 72gig fc drive to be reconized by the netapp but without any succes (i tried to downgrade the netapp to its very old version also) . But it sill dont want to flash the firmware on this segate drive . Is there any way to make it work ? I'm thinking about mount the fc array on an linux with an fc card and flash the disk firmware with the netapp firmware using segate flash utility . Any help would be very apreciable . thanks an

Is that true that EMC is purchasing NetAPP?

That rumor has floated around from time to time, but I think it is bogus, and floated by people who don't understand the culture of NetApp. Why would you ask that question now? Has something happened to make the idea conceiveable?

Re: Upgrading to 6.5

Robert - Note what platform you'll be installing on. For example, if you have a cluster, 6.5.1 had a bug that caused one machine to lose time sync with the other. If you have a certain NVRAM board, you'd get bogus messages that the NVRAM was failing. Make sure you go, at least, to 6.5.2. You'll miss some significant bugs there.

Oh, and of course, make sure the firmware on all your drives is updated. You do not want to update firmware in the course of an upgrade, unless you have only very few drives that need firmware updates!

6.5.4 was released just this week. The issue was "fixed" in later 6.5 releases? -Bob Get a current version...like 6.5.3P11 I am unsure about 6.5.4, Although I think there is a 6.5.4P1. This will be sure to avoid all the known NFS/export issues. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Borowicz [mailto:rbaus@swbell.net] Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 7:39 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Upgrading to 6.5 I'm upgrading to 6.5 this weekend.
