RE: Quick access to quota information
by barrie_spence＠agilent.com 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

I've just been busy writing a script to manage and enforce quotas the "UNIX way" (i.e. lock down the quota at the soft limit if the user doesn't cleanup within 14 days of exceeding it). The CPAN Perl "Quota" module works a treat: use Quota; $host='filer'; $volume_path = '/vol/vol1/users'; $uid = 501; ($block_curr, $block_soft, $block_hard, $block_timelimit, $inode_soft, $inode_hard, $inode_timelimit) = Quota::rpcquery($host, $volume_path, $uid); It's pretty fast and appears to work on HP-UX, Solaris and Linux. The only thing you have to watch for is that the results are low while the quotas are resizing (easy to check with a SNMP query).

The most convenient way would be short series of SNMP queries for specific UID / GID. Any suggestions other than "make and parse quota report" are welcome. Best regards, Jacek

full volume performance
by Charles Bartels 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Hi Folks, It is pretty well know that disk performance start to suffer when the partition begins to fill up. So I am wondering if you would see the same effect with a full volume (traditional or flexible) in a relatively empty aggregate, or a full qtree in a relatively empty volume? Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated. -C.

You have some NFS tuning to do in TCP, UDP is fine. This isnt your root problem, but it cant help. Check the output regarding TCP receive buffer sizes. Client vancouver has network problems, NFS retransmits. Check output. Doesnt harm the system, but that client is impacted. Youre fighting performance -vs- storage space. You have a number of 18 and 36G drives. Vol0 is laid out properly given this mix, you dont mix sizes within a given raid group. However disks 16, 18, and 19 are on their own as the raid group of 36G drives for this volume. They are also being beat on pretty hard. I see that your cache hits are 100%, this would cause you to wonder if you need a larger filer, more cache RAM..but that might not be it. You have 100% disk utilization as a fact of life on the system, but you are only doing disk reads for the most part, and NOT heavy ones. Nine to 12Mb/sec max. Thats danged odd. Heres your problem. Vol0. The 18G drives are about 65% busy, 95% reads. The 36G drives are 83% bush, again mostly reads. Vol1 is quiet as a church on bowling night. Solutions: Move data being accessed from vol0 to vol1, make use of the untilized performance you have there if this 60 seconds of history is a normal data activity. Likewise, move some of that date from vol1 to vol0, because you never want over 80% full volumes. ;) Rebuild your volumes. Make vol0 all of the 18G drives, 11data-1parity. Raw about 204Mb. Make vol1 all of the 36G drives, 6data-1parity. Raw about 207Mb. If you did this, your volume sizes would be larger than they are today, because youre not wasting space on mixed sized raid groups of 18 and 36G drives (vol1 is like this), and you end up with a LARGER number of spindles to parellelize your data access across in vol0 with a single volume of more 18G drives. Guaranteed, 100% of your performance problem is that itty bitty second raid group in volume 1. Unfortunately you will have to destroy the village to save it, but once you take the downtime to do so, you might find years of worthwhile performance out of your 720. Of course, you get to play God at work, and save a ton of cash while making thing better with no money spent. Yes, a larger system might reduce the missed cache hits, but 12Mb/sec is WAY less than a properly configured F720 can dish out. Id say you could triple that output easy if you did this. Is a 12drive raid group ok?? Id say YES. ONTAP is wayyyy more resilient than it used to be. You have plenty of drives left if you like, to enable raid_dp as well, which will give a 10data-2parity the basic reliability of two separate 5-1 raid groups, cept you have a larger stripe to make your reads against which seems to be your largest type of data activity according to this perfstat. What size Tshirt do I wear? XXL. :)

US Oi| and Gas Report Oil Climbs, Gains Soar We have the leading track record for finding fast moving, Low-priced energy p|ays. Look at the moves made by our |ast 2 Hot Picks: SPRL .14 to .36 in 12 days, up 157% PRVB .10 to .265 in 8 days, up 165% Like a viper coiled to strike, this Hot Oi| P|ay is on the fast-track to Mi||ions in gains from expanding production in the Heart of the "Oi| Be|t". Emerson Oil and Gas, Inc. OTC - EOGI Immediate Acquire - Huge News on Increased Production Current Price .15 Target Price .4O in 1O days Oil prices continue to explode and ignite the shares of major producers which is fo|lowed by soaring undervalued OTC Oil P|ays. Widespread gains in energy stocks are inflating the portfo|ios of aggressive OTC investors. Due to recent|y acquired high-potential oil and gas projects, EOGI is an underva|ued gem experiencing a sharp in crease in production revenue and becoming a "cash-flow positive" |eader in major oil-producing states. EOGI's high-yie|ding, mu|tip|e dri|ling programs have been solidified through valuab|e strategic al|iances. These exploration partnerships enab|e the Company to accumulate substantial working interests being developed into a continuously expanding revenue stream. EOGI is focused on joint-ventures involving we|l re-entry programs in extremely pro|ific production areas using the highest |eve| of techno|ogy currently available. Recent deve|opments for EOGI have been perfectly timed as a|| 6 Dow Jones Oi| and Gas Indexes just hit their highest |evels of the year, with Energy Stocks outperforming a|l other market sectors. The Company's Oi| and Gas interests in Louisiana and Texas, in addition to their deve|oping natural gas wel|s in Alberta, Canada, are continuing to in crease in va|ue with energy prices up 60% from one year ago. Leading economists and oi| analysts agree on predictions that a further 30-6O% in crease is |ike|y next year. We are expecting EOGI to release major news announcements regarding production figures on mu|tiple projects in high-gear. EOGI's expansion p|ans are on track to acquire additional prospects and properties that can on|y add to their growing bottom-line and spark further interest in this undervalued oi| play.

Run a perfstat..or at least tell us what its been up to. Has the file system been full or over 80% for any period of time? A perfstat will shed a TON of light.

Spare Drive Assignment
by Jeff Mohler 27 Feb '05

27 Feb '05

My customer had to replace a drive, and they asked if a filer can be told (non clustered system) to automagically assign a new drive to the only head in the system? Just seems odd to have to tell the system the ownership of a drive, with only one head in the mix.

Ohh..those shelves. I -think- theyre FC7s and FC8s. Should work with any head thru the 800 series of filers, I dont recall the official answer on using those with 900s.
