RE: symbolic links
by Timothy Sesow 30 Jul '04

30 Jul '04

From my investigations, Windows doesn't seem to have symbolic links. The "shortcuts" that you see on a Windows desktop doesn't resolve at the CreateFile level (operating system call), so it is only handled by Explorer (which is an application, not the operating system). I have not been able to find a CIFS method of creating a symbolic link (and I have looked repeatedly). -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com on behalf of Mike Langas Sent: Fri 7/30/2004 1:11 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: symbolic links My company tried to save some money by getting a Netapp without the NFS license because we will not be using it with Unix. The problem is we need to use a few symbolic links. It seems that the only way to create them is via a NFS mount. Does anyone know a way around this?

Make sure that your 3550 model of cisco switch supports 9000 byte mtus... there is an asic limitation in some models of that particular switch that doesn't support true jumbo frames. As for setting up etherchannel... int portchannel-1 switchport access vlan x switchport mode access no ip address int g0/1 channel-group 1 mode on int g0/2 channel-group 1 mode on I'm assuming your just creating a plain vanilla etherchannel (not layer 3.) you can also experiment with various loadbalancing algorithms using port-channel load-balance x to see which one works best for you.

Make sure you've set your MTU to 9000 on both the NetApp and the clients, and make sure the Cisco is configured for Jumbo frames. I'd love to know the correct Cisco settings for a multi-mode VIF as well as Flow Control.

Hi, I'm new here. I bought a bunch of F330 for a peppercorn price at a liquidation sale. One SCSI cable lists for what I paid the the entire array. I figure that in the worst case I can always break and sell the memory sticks and cables. But curiosity gets to me, I'd like to bring at least one of these beasts up. I figured if I powered one up it would kick out a prompt on the console port. But it doesn't seem to. Is there a trick to do a cold reset and get the things to start over? Thanks, and please be gentle with a naive newbie. Henry --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

RE: Double Parity on an Oracle Volume
by Jack Lyons 29 Jul '04

Ditto....although we deal with just CIFS file access, we did some pretty intense testing when the system was installed and after any change to the configuration. After we moved to DP we didn't notice a significant change in performance.

CIFS client slowness
by Brubaker, Paul 29 Jul '04

29 Jul '04

We're experiencing severe latency when a Windows 2000pro or Windows XP client reads and writes to a folder on our Netapps (FAS960 w/ Data Ontap 6.5.1). It only seems to be client O/S as our testing w/ a Windows 2000 Server did not have latency on reads / writes. We're currently looking at SACK and TCP Window sizes. Has anyone experienced severe client latency? Any know issues / advice? Anyone changing the sack option on their Filers? Thanks! Related info below: ===================== SackOpts This parameter controls whether or not SACK (Selective Acknowledgement) support is enabled, as specified in RFC 2018. SACK is especially important for connections using large TCP Window sizes. HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters SackOpts="1" (DWORD - boolean, recommended setting is 1. Possible settings are 0 - No Sack options or 1 - Sack Option enabled). http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=157 <http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=157> =================== One more item of note. In the traces from the slow xp box, we're showing a boatload of SACK transmissions, whereas in the fast one, not a one. I'd like to turn off SACK on the filer side to see if things clear up or not as google isn't giving me much luck in the 'which registry entry do I change to check things on the windows box' angle.

Double Parity on an Oracle Volume
by Robert Borowicz 28 Jul '04

28 Jul '04

I'm planning out the next two years of our Database Storage on my FAS940 and the DBA found out about the NetApps Double Parity feature and thinks we should implement it. My first concern is performance. Is there a performance hit when you implement DP? Thanks in advance. -Rob
