RE: Legato and NDMP
by Mike Ball 15 Apr '03

15 Apr '03

Gavin, How long is the root password on the Netapp? You will need to make sure it is 8 characters or less otherwise a NDMP connection will not be able to be made from the Legato Server. Mike -----Original Message----- From: Gavin Kelman [mailto:gavin@metahusky.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2003 4:42 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Legato and NDMP We've just received a nice new F825, which we're trying to integrate into our exsiting Legato Networker backup system. I've been speaking to our Legato support, but they're not getting very far, and each day that passes is another day for us without backups. We have a Quantum ATL1500 jukebox directly attached (Robot controller and one drive) to a Sun box, which is a Legato storage node. The 2nd SCSI drive is connected to the back of our F825, which picks it up fine, and is configured as an NDMP device in Networker. Now, the problem is, Networker complains that it can't establish an NDMP connection to the F825, even tho NDMP is enabled on the F825, and I've double-checked the username is root and the password is correct. Attempting to do an inventory in nwadmin fails on either device in the jukebox. Also, NDMP doesn't do incrementals the normal way, so I was thinking of just backing up the F825 over the NFS mounts, but I hear that's not a good idea with Legato. We're running DOT 6.3.1r1 and Legato Networker 6.1.3. Anyone have any suggestions, apart from "stop using Legato"? Cheers, Gavin. -- Gavin Kelman Phone : 07967 360 822 Unix Administrator Email : gavin(a)metahusky.net

RE: Enterprise Vault for Exchange

We have been using KVS Enterprise Vault on an F820, quite successfully, for about a year and a half. We set it up on its own volume and there were no special requirements as far as the filer was concerned.

RE: rsh sysstat (was: 2 telnet sessions)
by Ehrhart, Rick 14 Apr '03

14 Apr '03

Be careful about running non-terminating commands from rsh. See burt 88028 for details. When a non-terminating command executed via rsh is aborted, it leaves a rsh session hanging of the filer. If the abortions continue, all the rsh sessions will be used up. Try rsh <filer> "sysstat -c <count> 1". The count is the number of times the sysstat will execute. - Rick - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Rick Ehrhart Network Appliance "I believe in nothing, Everything is sacred." > -----Original Message----- > From: Neto, Antonio Jose Rodrigues > Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 8:59 AM > To: devnull(a)adc.idt.com; toasters(a)mathworks.com > Subject: RE: 2 telnet sessions > > > Hi, > > Could I give a suggestion? > > Enable rsh. > > tty1 > #rsh filer sysstat 1 > > tty2 > #telnet filer > > Hope this helps > > regards > > neto > > -----Original Message----- > From: devnull(a)adc.idt.com [mailto:devnull@adc.idt.com] > Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 12:26 PM > To: toasters(a)mathworks.com > Subject: 2 telnet sessions > > > Dear Toasters, > > I am trying to see if its possible to connect to the filer > via more than 1 > telnet session. > > The only "options" i see is telnet.enable > > I would like to be able to connect to the filer via 2 telnet sessions, > maybe even run sysstat under 1 and do "work" on the other. > > Please advice, > > Thanks, > > /dev/null > > devnull(a)adc.idt.com > > P.S: Running ancient versions 6.1.1R2 and 6.1.2R1. >

It has been written to allow more than one administrator at a time to have a shell on the filer. It executes all commands on the filer via rsh and thus only allows for the non interactive filer commands, type '?' at the prompt to see them. The I<fsh> must be executed on a host that has trusted access to the filer via rsh, i.e. the maintenance server. If executed as unpriviledged user it will prepend every execution of rsh by sudo. This slows command execution down considerably. It is recommended to run the fsh as root. If no hostname is given it will execute all commands on I<filer>. The shell uses GNU readline (3) for the command prompt. The behaviour of the command line can be changed with settings in the I<.inputrc>, e.g. adding set editing-mode vi will enable vi command line editing.

Data ONTAP 5.3.7R3 on a n F520
by Joe C Ropar 14 Apr '03

Greetings, First time caller. I have a 520 for which "snap list" returns several snapshot_for_backup ( busy ) lines. These are old and for some reason were not deleted automatically. I cannot delete them manually either. I have tried setting "snap sched vol0 0 0 0" turned "vol options vol0 nosnap on" and was still unable to delete the snapshots. Below is the output of snap list. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the unwanted snapshots would be appreciated.

The quickest way to resolve the below is to just schedule downtime and reboot the filer. The backup jobs that died poorly on the client side, which didn't let the filer know they were broken will then be cleared on the filer side as well. This type of problem caused by the client's backup job dying poorly is better handled in later version of OnTap.

more virus scan questions
by David Papas 14 Apr '03

14 Apr '03

Got a question regarding the "scan failures" numbers revealed in the "vscan" command. Does anyone know if these logged failures represent: 1) A failure to contact the virus server upon a scan request. 2) The virus server is contactable and registered and all, but fails to actually scan the file for whatever reason. 3) A combination of these and possibly some other statistics I'm overlooking? Thanks all, -D.

2 telnet sessions
by devnull＠adc.idt.com 14 Apr '03

14 Apr '03

Dear Toasters, I am trying to see if its possible to connect to the filer via more than 1 telnet session. The only "options" i see is telnet.enable I would like to be able to connect to the filer via 2 telnet sessions, maybe even run sysstat under 1 and do "work" on the other. Please advice, Thanks, /dev/null devnull(a)adc.idt.com P.S: Running ancient versions 6.1.1R2 and 6.1.2R1.
