Re: Does anyone have experience with SQL 2000 on NetApp?
by lallin＠millermartin.com 01 Aug '03

We currently have several SQL 2000 Servers accessing databases and logs on an F720 via CIFS. It works very well. We've not used the VLD option but do plan to implement it for Exchange by the end of the year. We'll probably use CIFS for as long as MS supports it for our SQL databases. As far as performance goes, we saw a small performance hit with our SQL databases primarily because of the way that our volume is layed out. We have a single 12 spindle volume that is shared with 3 SQL Servers, 3 Notes Servers, and user homes. As you can see this is not ideal, but in this configuration, our SQL Servers still perform remarkably well. By the way, we are going to separate our volumes eventually so that SQL has it's own set of disks. My recommendation would be to set your filer up with it's own SQL volume if at all possible. Feel free to contact me if you have any further quesitons. ----------------------------------------------- Luther L.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has had experience with either Windows 2003 and/or SQL 2000 on NetApp running with VLD. I am new to NetApp and being soon to install one, was wondering about different volume sizes and performance with SQL databases. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve

SNMP and VIFS
by paul.winchcombe＠ukgateway.net 01 Aug '03

Hi all, This is my first posting so apologies if I get syntax wrong. I have a 940c cluster and have setup 3 network card in a multi VIF and then a Single VIF. When I unplug a cable from the config I get a message on the console e11a down but the SNMP message sent to the Management Station was TRAP 4. The mib has been loaded and traps for machine being rebooted and Volume full are decoded correctly. What am i doing wrong ? Regards Paul

by Dan Finn 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Aside from Netapp themselves and ebay does anyone have any vendors they can recommend to purchase new replacement parts for my F740 and F760. All I really need is disks. Thanks Dan

Testing, testing

There's something mighty strange going on at mathworks.com: although I can follow up to existing threads, three separate attempts to post a new one to toasters(a)mathworks.com in the past few days have caused absolutely nothing to appear. Please excuse this attempt to determine whether it is some aspect of the content, subject, etc. that is causing them to disappear into a black hole. Chris Thompson Email: cet1(a)cam.ac.uk

command to tell you what kind of shelves you have
by Dan Finn 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Is there a command that will output what type of shelves are attached to a netapp. The closes I was able to come was "environment status shelf" but that doesn't tell me whether they are FC7, FC8 or FC9 shelves. Thanks Dan

Is there any built in utility for file compression
by Dan Finn 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

I don't think there is but I am just wondering if there is any built in utilities in the Netapps to do on the fly file compression as they are being written to the file system? Thanks Dan

BEA Weblogics
by Robert Borowicz 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Are there any users out there using BEA Weblogics App servers out there that may be mounting the "projects" area from filers? BEA moves files around from the Admin Server to Managed Servers which may be on separate machines via its "deploy command. I'm vying to mount the domain dir on the Admin host and also make that a share to the W2K "build box". When our build guy goes to deploy apps his Ant scripts need to simply copy the .ear's and .war's to a "drop dir" which is also on the Admin host. From there we do the Weblogics "deploy" which does a number of things fundamentally which is moving the .ear files out of the drop dir and into the deploy app dirs. Anybody doing this? Thanks -Rob

Disk Hardware Questions
by Steve Evans 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

Some questions. . . 1. I have a DS14 shelf with 36gb disks, and FC8 shelf's with 18gb disks. Each shelf has a HotSpare. If a 18gb disk fails will it for sure use the 18gb hotspare or is there a chance it will pickup the 36gb hotspare? 2. I'm thinking about migrating all the data on the 36gb drives (including /etc folder) to fewer 72gb drives. What's the best way to do that? Can I add the new 72gb disks to the volume with 36gb drives, then start to remove 36gb drives over time? 3. Right now I have the FC connection going like this: Filer Head --> FC8 shelf --> FC8 shelf --> DS14 shelf. All of the important data is on the DS14 shelf. The FC8 shelfs aren't on support contracts, and don't have any important data at all. (mostly system images, software install files, etc). Is this a bad idea. How much risk am I putting my important data on the DS14 shelf. We're thinking about getting another FC HBA with two ports because right now we just have a single FC cable. Then I would plan on putting DS14 shelf on the Dual Port HBA (with redundant paths) and putting the FC8 shelfs on our current HBA by itself. 4. With the sysstats tool, what kind of numbers can I expect to max out on, on the Disk KB/s? Thanks, Steve Evans SDSU Foundation
