Snapshot Problems and CIFS
by Steve Evans 02 May '03

02 May '03

Look at this screen shot. It's of a users folders snapshot directory. http://planetevans.com/netapp/snapshot.jpg You can see that all the snapshots after nightly.3 are regular files. When I double click on them they want me to choose a program to open it with. This is of the directory \\filer\finance\llevinson\~snapshot If I go through \\filer\finance\~snapshot\<snapshot>\llevinson I can access everything just fine. Also several days ago (the day that lines up with the bad snapshots) everything from \\filer\finance\llevinson (the live data) disappeared and we had to pull it from the last snapshot (hourly.0 which was good) I'm working with NetApp right now. Originally I had 6.1.3R2 and they said there were several CIFS issues with that version of ONTAP, so I upgraded to 6.3.1R1. Unfortunately (or fortunately) it only happens once a month or less. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Steve Evans SDSU Foundation (619) 594-0653

disk_usage.pl script not working after upgrade to Ontap 6.3.1R1
by Maglinger, Paul 02 May '03

02 May '03

We were using a great perl script that we downloaded from NOW to monitor our quotas called disk_usage.pl. After upgrading from Ontap 6.1.1R2P1 to 6.3.1R1 it no longer works except for just one of the qtrees. None of the permissions or qtree styles have changed. Anyone had a similar experience? Our glory is not in never falling, but rising every time we fall. Paul Maglinger, A+, CA, CCA, CET, MCSE Systems Administrator Shoe Carnival Inc. (812)867-4674 pmaglinger(a)scvl.com

Unicode Format Log Entries

Recoverable failing disk

Sage advice requested, please. I've been getting a couple of correctable failures on this drive per week for the last few months.

Running CVS via netapp NFS ?
by Charles Bartels 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi, Is there any general consensus on running CVS over the netapp's NFS? A while back I heard that it was not advisable but I thought things might have changed. -C.

LDAP Integration
by markallen 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Sun has announced they will no longer support nis or nisplus in the future and the upgrade path is to LDAP using the iplanet directory server 5.1 on Solaris 9. I upgraded a test environment that is now serving hosts, netgroups, passwd, group, and autmount tables via LDAP. I have Solaris and AIX clients binding to this server. Data Ontap 6.4 came with ldap support but I haven't had any luck getting it to work. I would like to get hosts, passwd, group, and netgetgroup services from LDAP. Here is a listing of my settings: options ldap ldap.base dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com ldap.enable on ldap.name cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com ldap.passwd ****** ldap.port 389 ldap.servers 1xx.2xx.1xx.xx ldap.servers.preferred 1xx.2xx.1xx.xx cat /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd: ldap files hosts: ldap files group: ldap files netgroup: ldap files Any help would be greatly appreciated. I make added these changes and tested it by pinging a host that is in the ldap database and had no luck. -Mark

The filer tried to tell the disk "you are broken" and tried to write on the disks label, to make shure wherever this disk will go to ... it will tell any technician by it's raidlabel: I am broken. In your case I also see SES error messages for this shelf. ... let's calculate: Disk 19=16+3 Let me guess ... This is a FC-7/8/9 shelf and the slot 2 is/was empty? The slots 2 AND 3 should be filled both in those old schelves, just in case one of those disks breakes... I think you can ignore the warnings you have seen. They were produced by the disks electronic. Smile & regards Dirk

rdate and time keeping.
by Gavin Kelman 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

We're using rdate to keep our Filer's clock in sync to prevent clock skew errors when compiling things on NFS mounts. There seems to be a bug in OnTap 6.3.1R1. The clock works it's way out of sync, (hence why we use rdate), and we get: Tue Apr 29 15:25:18 BST [Java Thread:notice]: TimeDaemon: Rdate (rfc868) server 'dali.lionbio.co.uk' reports that the time is Tue Apr 29 15:25:21 BST 2003, but the filer thinks the time is Tue Apr 29 15:25:18 BST 2003. This time offset is too large to cause us to modify the time automatically (max allowable skew: 1.000 secs). If the time reported by the time server is correct, set the filer time using the 'date' command. So, to clear this, I set the time by hand using "date". This works fine and we occasionally see: Tue Apr 29 16:04:06 BST [Java Thread:info]: TimeDaemon: Time offset within tolerance [dali.lionbio.co.uk]: actual -0.640 secs, tolerance 1.500 secs, not changing time. And after a time we get the first out-of-sync message. In effect, rdate is doing nothing at all to change the time, as the Max Skew rdate will change over is 1 second, but won't bother changing until it's at least 1.5 seconds out of sync. Surely, this is broken? Cheers, Gavin. -- Gavin Kelman Unix Administrator Email : gavin(a)metahusky.net

AW: CIFSDispatcher Error
by stefan.holzwarth＠adac.de 30 Apr '03

I also see that connection terminations. I think you should decrease the cache time to avoid "too less" communication with the DC.

It is mostly due to idle timeouts between the Filer and it's authenticating DC. I would say it is most like ( by default ) a 15 minute drop after the last need to authenticate ( like a new logon, or new cifs share connect that isn't cached ) Thank you Michael A Schipp ASI Solutions IT LAN/WAN Administrator Phone : 02 9384 8095 Mobile : 0402 907 928 E-Mail : mschipp(a)asi.com.au Visit us at http://www.asi.com.au -----Original Message----- From: Kumar, Rahul [mailto:rahul.kumar@eds.com] Sent: Wednesday, 30 April 2003 2:14 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: CIFSDispatcher Error Fellow Toasters, On one of the F820, running Ontap 6.3.1R1 we are seeing lots of [CIFSDispatcher:info]: Connection with \\DC terminated [CIFSAuthen:info]: Connection with DC \\DC established [CIFSDispatcher:info]: Connection with \\DC terminated [CIFSAuthen:info]: Connection with DC \\DC established [CIFSDispatcher:info]: Connection with \\DC terminated [CIFSAuthen:info]: Connection with DC \\DC established [CIFSDispatcher:info]: Connection with \\DC terminated We have reset the machine account in win2k nativemode domain a few times but it doesn't seem to be helping.
