RE: blade servers to Filer
by Bui, Marcus 01 Jul '03

01 Jul '03

A few items to clarify: - The environment have both Filers (F880c, F820) and SAN (Sun,HDS). Filers running CIFS only. - All HP blade servers are Windows client. - Have not implemented or tested iSCSI. Probably not any time soon. - The blade servers will have mirrored drives, probably 36GB drives, with 9GB partition for OS. The rest can be Data to fully utilize the drive. - Most of the application residing on these servers are not disk I/O intensive. cheers, Marcus -----Original Message----- From: Bui, Marcus [mailto:Marcus.Bui@aiminvestments.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 11:11 AM To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: blade servers to Filer Hi Toasters, We are migrating many of the current servers to HP blade servers. The Server Team is considering connecting to the Filers/SAN on the back end for storage. I know this is not a problem. Some of the applications servers only need 4GB of space so leaving it on the DAS will be better. Want to best utilize the Filers since not every blade server is a good candidate for NAS if DAS will suffice. What are some criteria to use when considering connecting blade servers to the Filers? Any suggestion is appreciated. cheers, Marcus Bui

FDDI adapters in FAS900 filers?
by Francett, Robert D (SAIC) 01 Jul '03

01 Jul '03

Hello toasters, Has anyone used the FDDI network adapter X1105 (DEC3002) on a FAS940 or FAS960 filer? It is not approved according the the NOW site, but has anyone tried it? I have this card currently working, and supported, in F840 machines and plan to replace these with the 900 series. Considerable leverage is being applied to maintain this service. Thanks, Bob Francett

How the heck do you get the lid of a C1100?
by Jaye Mathisen 30 Jun '03

30 Jun '03

Searched for a hardware guide for detailed stuff on the 1100, but didn't find anything other than the basic hardware install guide. I wan tto get inside this baby and take a look at it, but I can't figure out how to get the lid off. Something in the front/center seems to be holding it, but I'll be hornswoggled if I can find a screw or anything. Any tip appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Dinostor TapeServer
by Chris Madden 30 Jun '03

I've never used this product but it seems to provide functionality that is already present on the filer; i.e. an NDMP TAPE Server. You could buy one or more LTO2 drives (either SCSI or FC version), appropriate card(s) for one of your filers, and connect the drives up directly to one of your filers. You would then configure the backup software to perform NDMP backups in one of two ways depending on the filer. For the filer with the drives physically attached the setup can be considered local because the filer is functioning as both the NDMP DATA and TAPE servers. For the other filers without physical connectivity to the drives these function in a 3-way setup, with the filer without the drives functioning as the NDMP DATA server, and the filer with the drives functioning as the NDMP TAPE server. The choice is yours, use the functionality native to a filer (or as required by NDMP v2 actually) or buy a seperate box to provide it. -Chris P.S. Filer LTO II support at the moment is limited (HP-SCSI only) but support for the other manufactures/interface types is said to be forthcoming in the near future...meaning weeks if not days away. -----Original Message----- From: "Holland, William L" <hollandwl(a)state.gov> To: "'toasters(a)mathworks.com'" <toasters(a)mathworks.com> Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2003 13:07:21 -0400 Subject: Dinostor TapeServer Anyone out there using this product? (http://www.dinostor.com). If so, with which tape library and which backup software package? Since I'm setting up my NetApps from scratch and have no FCP equipment I would really like to build a GbE solution. However, the boss wants LTO2 and so far no one has a GbE solution for LTO2 -- most seem to be several months away. Also, I don't want to dedicate a tape library to one particular NetApp as I expect we will get a couple more in the not so distant future. Thanks again.

RE: Clearcase and Netapp
by Clawson, Simon 28 Jun '03

I am just quoting my learned college in Mentor, who was advised by Rational that incremental backups were not the way to go. I see your point that there's little you can do with a volume of your size, but since we are talking about a database with file history, should you suffer any mishap in your backup software, would that cause a major problem in your ability to restore? We use netbackup, and I know there are times when the software misses a backup. It did last night!

If you are chucking other data in there as Simon> well this means full nightly backups of ALL your data! CC data Simon> grows fast, so will be a big lump on its own. I just wanted to chime in here and say that this is wrong, incremental backups of VOBs data works just fine, as long as the previous full and all the incrementals were properly locked when the backup was made. We use Legato Networker with incremental backups on our VOBs and we've never had a problem. Since the VOBs are around 300gb for a full backup, and 60gb a night for incrementals, it's a *huge* savings in tape to do it this way. You need to make sure that your backup software offers a true incremental restore option though, plain old dump/restore won't work right since it doens't handle files that existed in the full, but not in the incremental case.
