Virus protection
by Jon Kroff 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

I am about to consolidate all data storage on to a FAS940 using iSCSI LUNs and CIFS. I was wondering what kind of virus protection companies are using on their appliances for their simple CIF shares. We currently own the Trend Micro suite as well as Symantec suite, if either of those would work. Any input is greatly appreciated.

RE: Default units for quotas in 6.4.2P6

It is reported as burt 106031.

Thank you for your quick response. I appreciate the reply and advice. However, I am under certain restraints in that there is no wish or desire to purchase any new software and the only stated purpose for the tape backups is for disaster recovery purposes. I was hoping to find out what would be the most efficient way to do multiple volume backups so that I could determine the most efficient way in which to label and record the contents of the tapes. Thanks!!! Dan At 10:04 AM 12/16/2003, Andrew Siegel wrote: >You will grow old fast waiting for restores done from raw >NetApp dumps. The entire tape must be scanned.

Unusual Disk Activity
by Blake Folgner 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

Hello fellow Toaster Users, Last night I notice that our F760 got a bit sluggish for the very first time. We are running 6.2.1R1D5. Around 1:00 when the scrub started the disk utilization went up to around 9600bB/s and no more than 300NFS ops and practically no network traffic. After the scrub completed it found no errors or problems with any of the disks. Here is a out put of a sysstat CPU NFS CIFS HTTP Net kB/s Disk kB/s Tape kB/s Cache in out read write read write age 12% 52 0 0 13 12 1938 418 0 0 0s 14% 55 0 0 13 11 2705 327 0 0 0s 13% 34 0 0 8 8 2915 194 0 0 0s 18% 55 0 0 11 9 3612 161 0 0 0s 10% 18 0 0 4 3 2400 102 0 0 0s 17% 80 0 0 17 14 3371 189 0 0 0s 15% 106 0 0 24 22 2459 538 0 0 0s 14% 39 0 0 11 16 1787 569 0 0 0s 17% 65 0 0 15 22 2680 448 0 0 0s 13% 54 0 0 14 16 1740 544 0 0 0s 16% 54 0 0 11 15 2521 430 0 0 0s 17% 90 0 0 19 22 2178 627 0 0 0s 15% 62 0 0 18 27 1984 697 0 0 0s 13% 50 0 0 12 15 1990 397 0 0 0s As you can see there is practically no network traffic and very low ops. Something that dose have me a bit confused is the Cache Age... there is none? This system has been online for 400 days, 11:40 2000225709 NFS ops and I think it might just be time for a reboot. But before I reboot the system I wanted to check with fellow users to see if this is an DOT bug or just a common netapp twitch. Thanks for your help and advice. Best regards, Blake Folgner

multipathing with a Solaris client
by Kerry Herschel 11 Dec '03

11 Dec '03

Hi, We connected a FAS940 to a SAN fabric. We have a Solaris client that has 2 HBAs connected to the SAN switch. I would like to setup multipathing to the FAS940. It appears from the documentation and from our NetApp rep that multipathing requires Veritas DMS (dynamic multipathing software). Has anyone setup multipathing on a Solaris client to a NetApp device without Veritas? We've tried mpxio and it doesn't seem to work. Has anyone tried Disk Suite or any other solution?

Snapshot reserve management
by Brian Tao 11 Dec '03

11 Dec '03

I think most any Netapp admin has been in this situation: you set aside a chunk of disk space for your snapshot reserve. After a week goes by, you see that the reserve is at 150% of allocation. You manually delete some snapshots until it falls back under 100%, and adjust the snap schedule. A few months go by, new applications are rolled in and old ones retire. Snapshot usage has also increased, but you are at a loss to pinpoint the exact cause of the higher data turnover rate. What do people do to shed more light on this kind of situation? I'd love to be able to conclude "It is the files in /vol/vol0/myapp/data that are chewing up the most snapshot space" or "It is the write activity coming from NFS client myhost1 that is causing the most block turnover". I think I asked this question about five years ago and did not discover an adequate solution back then. I'm hoping someone might be able to share their expertise on this problem now. ;-) -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob(a)risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"
