RAID4 Catch-22
by Geoff Hardin 16 Mar '04

16 Mar '04

We are stuck in a RAID 4 Catch-22 and we really can't see any way out of it. Here's the situation: I have a clustered pair of F760 filers running ONTAP 6.1R1P1. Early Monday morning, disk 6.20 (72 GB drive in a DS14 shelf) failed. Immediately, the filer began to rebuild on spare disk 6.29 and (because of the large size of the volume, approximately 800 GB), the reconstruction was still running at about 7 pm. It was at 7 pm that disk 6.25 experienced an unrecoverable read error on sector 128273044; however, since there is no parity disk available, the filer was unable to recover this data and the filer panicked and rebooted. Fast forward twelve hours and again we're about 90% done with reconstruction and disk 6.25 has an unrecovered read error on sector 128273044; the filer panics, reboots, and the countdown begins again. Does anyone know of any way out of this dilemma, short of restoring from tape? Many thanks in advance. Geoff Hardin UNIX System Administrator Dallas Semiconductor geoff.hardin(a)dalsemi.com

Surplussing drives
by Lance A. Brown 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

Greetings, We are in the process of surplussing a couple old Netapps. The head units are going back to NetApp as part of a rebate program, we are keeping some drives/shelves, and surplussing the rest. My boss wants the to-be-surplussed drives wiped before they go out the door. I checked the docs and on NOW but didn't find a good way to do this. The to-be-surplussed drives are all in one filer, and all in vol0. Does anyone know a good way to wipe these drives short of a full re-install of OnTAP? --[Lance] -- Lance A.

Low performance on 760c with clients running mail (postfix)
by Magnar Stav Johanssen 12 Mar '04

12 Mar '04

Hi I'm currently running OnTAP 6.4.3 on my 760c. I've got 3 servers (Solaris 9) running postfix with high volum of mail. These 3 machines alone uses all free CPU on one of the nodes in the NetApp-cluster. What kind of measures will reduse the CPU-usage on both the client and the NetApp? Regards, Magnar

Non-Domain User Account
by Steve Evans 11 Mar '04

11 Mar '04

I have a user who's laptop won't be part of the Active Directory domain. He can access windows file servers shares by typing in his domain credentials when he trys to access the particular share. But with the NetApp filer (ONTAP 6.3.1R1) he just gets an access denied error message and is never asked for alternate credentials. I've talked to support a couple times but I wasn't thrilled with their answers. Steve Evans SDSU Foundation

Awful ufsrestore performance reading from DLT7000 on F810
by Chris Thompson 11 Mar '04

11 Mar '04

I am running ONTAP 6.4.3P2 on an F810. It has a SCSI-attached DLT7000 drive used primarily for its own backups, but we also use the filer's rmt(8) implementation to dump a few Solaris ufs partitions that way. We've been doing a round of checking that we can we restore from our backups. Everything went fine until I tried to restore these Solaris partitions. The problem isn't content, but the appallingly slow transfer rate. This isn't ufsrestore's fault per se, as I've used a program that just does 63KB reads via the rmt interface and disposes of the data [*] and I can still get at best 400 KB/sec out if it. That's at least a factor of 10 less than it should be: dumping the Solaris partitions achieves something like 4000 KB/sec [not quite up to 7000 KB/sec that the ONTAP dumps run at --- there's a 100 MHz network link involved --- but acceptable]. It's not a problem with tape reading as such: ONTAP restores run at essentially the same speed as ONTAP dumps. We certainly didn't have this problem the last time we tried this, about a year ago. What's changed since then? . we were using an F740 that has been replaced by the F810 [the DLT7000 tape drive is the same one] . we were running ONTAP 6.2.2 then, 6.4.3P2 now . we were running Solaris 8 then, Solaris 9 now (well patched, in both cases) - but as mentioned above, it's not ufsrestore per se Anyone got any ideas on this one? or similar experiences? Chris Thompson Email: cet1(a)cam.ac.uk [*] "Disposes of the data" after it's been sucked through a pipe on the Solaris host. I suppose I could write a program to call rcmd(3) directly rather than relying on rsh(1) to do it for me, but I really doubt that this can be where the bottleneck lies.

I am no longer impotent in bed XJ9 Zp
by Aurelio Baird 11 Mar '04

11 Mar '04

I am writing to tell you something about myself. Something that drove me crazy for a long time. I thought things would never be better for me. My name is Aurelio Baird and this was a part of my life. Ever since I started having sexual relationships, I noticed something about me wasn't 'working properly' if you know what I mean. I was having an extremely difficult time performing in bed with the ladies, and as time went on, my problem didn't cure itself. Although I was sceptic about Cialis, I was desperate and simply had to try something! To my surprise, Cialis finally solved my erectile problem, and worked much better than viagra! I am writing this email to share my great success with you, and hope to help out someone who feels the same way I used to.

Interested in learing of average disk utilization values for others using Netapp Filers for clients hosting web servers
by Errol Casey 10 Mar '04

10 Mar '04

I'm interested in learning of common values for disk utilization across disk in 4,5,8,10 disk volumes on filers that are in use with host clients that server clients that are hosting web servers (that general server traffic such as HTML files, PHP files, JPG files, etc generally small files). Here is a snap shot of some values from my server for comparison. We had some performance problems recently, and our disk utilization was exceeding 50% ; but we have decreased this back to reasonable levels but would like to see what other Netapp users are at. Currently, our levels are averaging 15 for an 8 disk volume and 13 for a 12 disk volume. These values are being obtained from statit statistics.
