Usage of quota vs. NFS performance ...
by Wilfried Gaensheimer 15 May '03

15 May '03

Hi, we are considering introducing quotas on our filer to prevent the "one user takes it all" situation, that happened several times and made the rest of the crew pretty unhappy. Anyway, before doing that, I would like to check: Is there any "massive" performance degradation to be expected? Could someone out there share their real-life experience? Would be great. Am I right that quotas should have an impact on write, only? And some extra CPU load? We use NFS, Clients are Solaris8. No qtree, just three appr. 400GByte Volumes? Any hint to documentation and common pitfalls is highly welcome. Bye, thanks wilfried -- # Wilfried.Gaensheimer(a)Bingo-ev.DE, +49 841 975181 # # Room to rent ........................................#

No sir, we've got several groups using VSS on CIFS shares -----Original Message----- From: Barry Lustig [mailto:barry-dated-1053387082.a96094@lustig.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 6:31 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Does anyone know if there are any problems with putting the VSS database onto a filer? Are there similar issues to exchange requiring iSCSI or VLD? Thanks, barry

Building a working filer from parts [230/330]
by John Kiniston 14 May '03

14 May '03

Howdy! I know the hardware I'm asking about is a little dated but this is for my personal use filer that I'm building: I've got two filer heads, a F230 and a F330, and a StorageShelf2 full of 8 gig disks, My Goal is to make a working filer out of the parts of the F230 and the F330. The F330 powers up fine and came with two PCI SCSI cards, and what I belive is a PCI FDDI card. The F230 does not power on and came with one PCI SCSI card, and a Quad Fast Ethernet Card. Can the Quad Fast Ethernet work from the F230 in the F330? When I insert it and boot the F330 gives me a 'Unsupported Configuration' error with e5a and scsi. I ended up swapping the SCSI card from slot 9 in the 230 to slot 9 in the 330 to hook up the shelf of disks so the 330 now has both a Fast Wide and a Fast Narrow SCSI controller in it. What is the largest disk supported by the 330? Currently I have 7 8.6 gig disks. Does anyone need parts from the 230? Once I get the 330 working I will no longer need the 230 for parts.

RE: network based console connection

The only problem with that is you are limited to how many netapps you can connect to a PC. We have 4 netapps, so are there pieces of hardware out there that we could install in a cheap pc that would allow us more console connections? Also, what are the specifications on the cable and connection into the netapp? Is it just a standard console cable? Is it the same as Sun hardware? -----Original Message----- From: Steve Evans [mailto:sevans@foundation.sdsu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 12:51 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: network based console connection Console cable to Unix/Windows server.

I'm curious as to what's available and what other people have setup to accomplish this. The cheaper the better. Thanks Dan

f940c alternative from EMC ?
by frank marxs 14 May '03

14 May '03

Sorry if this is slightly off topic. Anyone have any experience with an EMC NS 600 [I'm told it's a rather new EMC NAS solution]? I have a client who is considering the NS 600 over a 940 Cluster ... and I don't think the EMC solution is the right one ... but without having any first hand knowledge or having heard much about the NS 600 I can't provide any good arguments why they should avoid it... and I don't want to be called on to pick up the mess afterwards. Any experience or advice [or even simply reasons why you didn't buy it] is much appreciated.

I use an annex box, telnet to the annex box and choose the port you want. I can administer it from anywhere. -----Original Message----- From: DFinn(a)studentadvantage.com [mailto:DFinn@studentadvantage.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 12:22 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: network based console connection I think it would be really nice to have something like this setup so that we could get console access to our netapps via the network.

Sure, just get a PC with enough serial ports.

We use Consever (http://www.conserver.com) to manage the connections to all of our netapps/unix boxes/network gear. Conserver works with just about any serial devices or terminal server hardware. I currently use Digi Etherlites as my terminal servers, but have use Portmasters and plain old serial ports in the past.
