Tool to manage filers
by Jason Storm 16 Jul '04

16 Jul '04

What tools to do you use to administer and manage your filer(s)? I am not the greatest fan of Filerview and was wondering how good is DataFabric Manager. Any other tools out there? Thanks in advance for your help. Filer Dude --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start. We finish.

I believe what you are looking for is Filerview, built into the default features of ONTAP. http://<filername>\na_admin should get you started. Unless you are looking for something more specific. For that, I use perl, GUI's leave me feeling cold and unfulfilled :) Have fun.

RE: DFM database transfer
by Perry, Jay 16 Jul '04

Hi G, In your question, you didn't specify NFS or CIFS. Since I am *much* more comfortable with NFS, I wrote my answer in those terms, and hand waved outside of my comfort zone. In the case of windows, you are correct - you should use UNC paths. You'll also have to tell DFM the name of a CIFS account/password that can be used by the host agent to access the shares. This can be done on a per host agent basis from the Edit Agent Logins page (SRM tab -> Edit Agent Logins) or using a global default (go to the DFM options page, look under Host Agent Options, and configure the Host Agent CIFS Account and the Host Agent CIFS Password). If this doesn't help you, I would recommend that you work through your normal support channel, so that you can get feedback from folks that are more familiar with this specific DFM feature.

How do I "mount" a CIFS share on the windows system running the agent? Do you mean "map a network drive"? But for that a user needs to be logged in, correct?. Can we use an UNC path? We have a FAS 960 with 148 shares (Qtrees). Do I have to map each of them individually? -G ----- Original Message ----- From: Perry, <mailto:Jay.Perry@netapp.com> Jay To: Sto RageC <mailto:Net_Backer@hotmail.com> ; markallen(a)micron.com ; paul.brubaker(a)attws.com ; toasters(a)mathworks.com Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 7:08 PM Subject: RE: DFM database transfer Hi G, To get SRM information from DFM about files kept on a filer, you put the host agent on a system that is mounting the filesystem(s) from the filer that you are interested in (do the corresponding thing for the CIFS share case).

Simple Concise Filer Monitoring
by Ben Rockwood 16 Jul '04

16 Jul '04

Has anyone created a simple and readable web monitoring application for Filers? Sure there's Cricket, MRTG, and RRDtool, but I'd like something alittle more tidy for quick glances. I'd love something like phpSysInfo: http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/ It seems like leveraging PHP or PERL CGI, with alittle RRD possiblably tossed in we could have a tool vastly superior to the aging "Filer At-A-Glance", which relies on Java (yuck) and doesn't supply everything in one nice page. Has anyone done something like this or feel it's a worthwhile cause? benr.

We don't have SRM. We only run DFM 3.0 on a Windows 2000 box. What is SRM? Any value?

RE: DFM database transfer

Has anyone rebuilt the DFM database? We're running the same SQL Anywhere DB since DFM was in beta. Performance seems to be slow, the DB is like 500MB and we are getting messages like this when we startup: I. 03/31 20:12:34. Page size too small for this database I. 03/31 20:12:34. Database was created with older software and may benefit from being rebuilt We're getting ready to upgrade to 3.0 and want to know if we can alleviate these messages and improve performance by rebuilding the DB. Otherwise we may start a fresh, new DFM instance and leave the old one online for legacy data reporting. - Jeff ________________________________ From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of markallen(a)micron.com Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 1:38 PM To: paul.brubaker(a)attws.com; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: DFM database transfer I haven't had any problems with doing this.
