Single-thread NFS performance
by atticus＠satanic.org 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Does anyone have ballpark numbers to share w/ single-thread nfs performance? Going from a 4500 running solaris 2.8 to a 760 and I'm capping out around 22mbit/s for single copies -- this hold pretty consistent w/ tcp and udp mounts (both w/ rsize=32768). This is across a WAN, but RTT is only ~16ms. Running multiple parallel copies will bump throughput to ~80mb/s.. Is this about right, or are there magic knobs I'm missing? Thanks.

RE: SNMP values keeps changing after every reboot. any solution to fix this?
by Hackworth, Brian 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

Almost. DataFabric Manager uses the file system name as its key, rather than the SNMP OID index. I'm not aware of any way to trick MRTG into doing it that way. - Brian Hackworth When asked how Data Fabric Manager can handle this, the answer was that since it relies on a database, DFM is clever enough to update the index to check.

Re: SNMP values keeps changing after every reboot. any solution to fix this?
by Michel GELDENHUYS 31 Oct '03

Hi StoRage, I discussed this few weeks ago with a NetApp engineer. Unfortunately, this is a "by-design" behaviour: MIB values are loaded during boot and in a random fashion so there is no way to forecast (or enforce) what MIB index will be for a particular volume. So it seems that there is no other way than manually modifying MRTG configuration file to take the changes into account. When asked how Data Fabric Manager can handle this, the answer was that since it relies on a database, DFM is clever enough to update the index to check. I hope this will help.

scsi timeouts
by Bui, Marcus 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

I have an F820, 6.4.2P6, with dual port FC card that's getting a lot of scsi timeout msgs on the 7b port. The scsi timeouts spans all disk shelves on the 7b loop. All other loop is fine. These started when I moved the 18GB FC9 shelves from a F880c to the F820. Working the tech support, I replaced a couple of the LRC, replaced two shelf cable interconect, recheck all the cables, replaced FC card slot 7, remove/reinsert all the drives, and ran fcal check which passed all fcal tests. The core file result indicated to bug #98110 but upgraded to v6.4.2P6 did not resolve these error msgs. The filer panic a few times before running v6.4.1 that's why tech support recommends upgraded to v6.4.2P6. Right now I disconnected the second loop 7b. Any ideas? Slot: 7b Description: Fibre Channel Host Adapter 7b (Dual-channel, QLogic 2200A rev. 5) Firmware Rev: 2.1.32 PCI Bus Width: 64-bit PCI Clock Speed: 33 MHz Error Msg:------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- Sun Oct 26 09:05:30 CST [scsi.cmd.retrySuccess:info]: Device 7b.20: request successful after retry #1: cdb 0x2f:00182000:0400.

unix group in NIS and CIFS
by Stephane Bentebba 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

Hi all, i have a Filer running NIS and CIFS and specifically, specifying some Unix group (accessed by NIS) inside the CIFS configuration the problem is the following : the Giga card make some times to be up (as the spanning tree in the cisco switch requires 30 sec to come up) in this laps of time - NIS is unavailable (as the Filer complain at the reboot) - CIFS starts but doesn't correctly you can see the related bug 32129 : http://now.netapp.com/AskNOW/highlight_html.jsp?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnow.netapp… my question is : does anyone already encountered and solved this problem in another way that Netapp say (forgetting about Unix group in CIFS config / copy the NIS group definition locally on the Filer) the costumer is thinking about desengage the spanning tree at the switch side , i am not sure it will succeed -- jetez un oeil ici http://www.sensiva.com/ -- -- have a look here http://www.sensiva.com/ --

msdos 8.3 name and solstice
by Stephane Bentebba 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

Hi all, - one of our Filer is running with NFS license and NIS - some Windoz client are using Solstice to connect on the Filer Solstice = a pcnfsd client that connect to a Unix machine with the pcnfsd server - this way, all pcnfsd Windows client can connect on the NFS Filer the problem is really strange not all but some only few of them encounter this problem > when copying files with long names to the Filer (throught Solstice), the filename is changed to a short version : "my document.doc" tunr into "mydocu~1.doc" on the Filer - fro; the Windoz client point of view from a Unix machine, the file remains with a long normal name "my document.doc" when hitting the Up button then going in the directory again, the file appear normally again (long form) this strange behavior implies numerous of problems does anyone already encounter this problem ? the Filer used to be in 537r3, upgrading the Filer in 613r2 doesn't change the problem ps : solstice was a Sun product that is no more supported... -- -- jetez un oeil ici http://www.sensiva.com/ -- -- have a look here http://www.sensiva.com/ --

ndmpcopy loopback perf
by George Kahler 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

Hi, when I ndmpcopy from say, volA to volB on the same head does ndmpcopy use the loopback to do this ? If so, at what speed can the loopback run at ? I can not seem to go faster then about 20 GB/hr (about 50 Mbits/sec). I do have GigE NICs in the filer for regular nfs connections to clients.
