iSCSI and OnTap 7 on F720
by Gil Freund 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Hi, I have an F720 used for CIFS and NFS on a site with about 30 users and a 4 port VIF (100Mbit/s x 4). The filer in constant use, but is not under heavy load. We would like to move data which is in DAS (mainly our mail store, which is a Cyrus IMAP server on Linux), which we would like to move to the filer. Since I don't want to use NFS for this, and the virtual volumes would be very handy in NDMP backups I was wondering whether it made sense to use those on an F720. Any thoughts / field notes welcome Gil

Archiving, R200 and SnapVault.
by Ngoh, Clarence 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

G'day toaster folks, Our backups in Lidcombe are having issues completing its backups - the cause is yet unknown. As a result of our EOM backups not completing successfully, it is eating into our snapshot space. We have raised a case with NetApp and we are trying to isolate the root case of the problem. I am not after suggestions to fix this at the moment. Rather ... We have just purchased a R200 for achiving purpose and we are thinking of utilising this to alleviate the issue we are having. We wish to dump some of the EOMs to this box and backup to tape when we resolve the backup issue. Our scenario is common ... A production site and a DR site. We backup our EOMs at the DR site. We are wondering if the process is as simple of copying over the EOM snapshots from the DR filer to the R200 via SnapVault and configuring our backups (Veritas NetBackup) to backup from the R200 to cassette. Question : From what I have read, backups to cassette can be done straight from the R200. Any real life experiences to share? Are they any caveats that we should be aware of? Sorry if this question seems somewhat simple -- I am still ploughing through a pile of whitepapers at the moment, but because this issue is somewhat urgent, any suggestions would be much appreciated.

SNMP CPU queries suddenly returning zero
by Gavin Kelman 27 Jan '05

27 Jan '05

Hi, I recently started graphing CPU busy time with SNMP and it worked fine for a few weeks, and then all of sudden one day, it always returned 0 and has done ever since. I suspect rebooting the filer would bring the SNMP CPU reading back to life, but I was wondering if anyone had a better idea... I'm running NetApp Release 6.5.2R1P9 on an F940 and using the following command to get the information: snmpget netapp public -m NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB.txt \ NETWORK-APPLIANCE-MIB::cpuBusyTimePerCent.0 Telneting to the filer and running "sysstat" returns normal (non-zero) CPU usage information. Ideas? Cheers, Gavin. -- Gavin Kelman gavin(a)metahusky.net
