Re: F760 SCSI, Single-ended or Differential
by Graydon Dodson 05 Dec '03

05 Dec '03

I once had to RMA the motherboard on an old 760. After the swap the onboard SCSI changed from single-ended to differential. Since I was not using the motherboard SCSI it was not an issue for me. I now have two 760s one reports motherboard SCSI as single-ended and the other differential. I suspect there are two different motherboard designs for the 760. Graydon Dodson

AW: clustered filers and CIFS ...
by Engmann, Tobias 05 Dec '03

05 Dec '03

You can do it,you must ensure cross network connectivity. If filer A fails,filer B will completely taken over Filer A including Network and Netbios Identity etc.so you have one physikal and one virtual Filer in the same physikal Network Segment. Regards, Tobias Engmann SE Netapp Cluster characteristics The filers in a cluster have the following characteristics: * They are connected to each other through a cluster interconnect consisting of adapters and cable through which they * Continually check whether the other filer is functioning * Mirror log data for each other's NVRAM * Synchronize each other's time * They use two Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loops (FC-AL), in which * Each filer uses the A loop to manage its own disks * Each filer uses the B loop in takeover mode to manage its partner's disks * They own their spare disks and do not share them with the other filer. * They may reside on the same NT domain or on different domains. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Waters, G Scott STG [mailto:george.scott.waters@us.army.mil] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 4. Dezember 2003 20:21 An: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Betreff: clustered filers and CIFS ... Here's one that I think I know the answer to but I figured I would see if anyone had any comments ... Can a set of clustered filers ... each running CIFS ... belong to two different NT4 domains?? I figure the answer is NO ... since when one of the filers failed the other would not be configured to handle requests for the other domain. Could someone confirm or deny my opinion??

RE: DOT 6.4.2P11

Kerry, 6.4.2P11 is a GA release. Take a look at the the Data Ontap Release Model http://now.netapp.com/NOW/products/ontap_releasemodel/. 6.4.2P6 is a GA release, and was released as GA in September. All subsequent "P" releases will also be released GA. Hope this helps. -Mike Egner Systems Engineer Network Appliance Office: 847-655-2128 -----Original Message----- From: Kerry Herschel [mailto:margaret.k.herschel@jpl.nasa.gov] Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2003 11:03 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: DOT 6.4.2P11 I need to upgrade a R150 from DOT version 6.4.1P1D1 to DOT 6.4.2P11 because of bug 102089/Disk spin up errors could lead to wafl hung panic.

Good day Preshant: For background information look up Jon Toigo's Books on Amazon and look on Google to find his articles. Also, you can find a lot of background on the website www.nas-san.com Toasters is a great group for help on NetApp products and software.

Hi Prashant- I train new sales people at NetApp. My favorite book for an introduction to storage networking is "Using NAS and SAN" by W. Curtis Peterson (published by O'Reilly). This has been required reading for our sales force. A thicker read but also good is "Building Storage Networks" by Marc Farley. I haven't checked the most recent versions for updates but I assume they are updated.

syslog, swatch/logsurfer, and you
by Peter 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

Hello toasters, I've been thinking of doing some additional monitoring of my filers using swatch or logsurfer. I am currently looking at transcribing what docs I could find on the NOW site to swatch or logsurfer regex, but thought it might be a good idea to see if someone has done this already and would care to share any info with me. I've also looked around the NOW site for actual examples of syslog entries that the filers will generate when something bad has happened, but was unsuccessful in finding anything. Has anyone located or compiled such a list? I googled, searched the toasters archives, etc. No luck. Anyway, let me know if you have anything interesting to share! Thanks, Peter Radavich
