Here is a useful script that can get data for mrtg without going negative when the numbers get really high. I am not an mrtg guru, this is just one way to fix the problem. Tar file with readme should be attached which explains how to setup the Target line in the mrtg config file. hope it works out for you... read the readme of course. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Are there a lot of people using the filer-mrtg "unsupported" package from Netapp. I found a few things buggy in it, i.e. It freaks when getting data on a 6.4.1 firmware level, and it freaks when the counters get too high, causing negative numbers and bad graphs. I have some fixes, but was wondering if there was a maintainer out there for it? Jerry __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

After 4 years of running on our F760's we have approval to spend money on more storage. We are looking at various options and one of them is to continue using Netapps. I'd like to find out from the list your opinions on the Fas 250 and Fas270's. Performance compared to the rest of the Netapp line. Any other issues. Thanks in advance art hebert

RE: Another disaster recovery solution

Windows 2003 Storage Server may be a viable alternative. Plenty of vendors have or will be releasing NAS devices using this OS (Dell and HP come to mind). Not sure about the NFS support as I haven't looked that far into it yet. If services for Unix/Linux aren't available, then you can always turn to a couple of SAMBA servers. Snapshotting? I know there is Volume Shadow Copy services (VSS) which will do a cut-down version of snapshot. Take a look at the whitepapers from Microsoft and make up your own mind. I believe is no substitute for Netapp at the enterprise level. As for your DR. Snapmirror is your best bet and you will need to stick with Netapp obviously. However, some well orchestrated rsync script/crontab'ing could give you basic production data replication. It depends on how critical your CEO considers the data to be and how much time you have to spend setting it all up. Snapmirror comes with the excellence of Netapp support. Rsync'ing comes with the level of support you are capable of providing. Windows Storage server is unproven but it is built on stable and fundamental NAS principles. I doubt very much that the simulator could be reconfigured to do what you are suggesting. Even if you could, I am sure there would be some hefty licensing issues to deal with.

RE: DRP plan

Hi Paul, Welcome to the fellowship of the File ;-) VFM which stands for Virtual File Manager is a storage virtualization tool aimed at NetApp Filers and Windows servers (and a little bit to Unix users). It's relies on Microsoft DFS (distributed file system) which presents a logical view of the data to users, no matter where it's physically located. VFM (also known as StorageX) enhances greatly DFS by adding functionality such as automated data migration, consolidation, life cycle management and disaster recovery policies. In your case, VFM would allow you to automatically manage the shares on the NearStore, and in case of a failure of the FAS960, break the SnapMirror and update the DFS tree so that Windows users accessing data through DFS would be transparently redirected to the R150. With such a solution, no need to play with DNS, WINS, etc. I would suggest that you contact your NetApp representative or if you have NOW website access, download VFM 4.0 documentation to make your opinion on it.

RE: Wrapping pktt trace?
by Muhlestein, Mark 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Actually, pktt does continue tracing into the memory buffer, but it stops writing to a trace file once the -s limit is hit. And there are limits on the size of the internal (-b) buffers available for pktt (around 64MB total). At the moment pktt does not have a way to automatically keep a rotating log of trace files. However, this can be done with a perl script, for example. The basic idea would be to trace to files using the -d option, then periodically stop tracing, delete the oldest trace file, rename the trace files as needed to keep the desired amount of data in the rotating log, then start tracing again.
