mapping root -> administrator and vice versa
by Colin Eric Johnson 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

Ok, so I'm real new at this so please bear with me. I have a filer running 6.1.3 of OnTap (that's the last version that supports the hardware) and I'm having a tough time getting root on my unix host and my domain administrator for Win2k to map properly to each other. I believe that this is the correct syntax for usermap.cfg Administrator -> root Administrator <- root But this doesn't seem to be working. So, here are my questions: 1. What is the correct syntax? 2. Do I need to be explicit about the domain? 3. Should I map the group Domain Admins and not the individual? If there is anything else that I'm missing feel free to let me know. Thanks.

ONTAP upgrade license?
by Dan Bethe 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

Here's a continuation of my last question. If I was to somehow procure a legal media kit for a version of ONTAP that's older than the revision currently supported by Network Appliance, Inc, can I get a simple upgrade? Does that require a new license purchase? Can I just buy the unlicensed upgrade media kit from somewhere and then instell that and have it inherit my old license? What about going from version Z.X to Z.Y or something like that? Are the upgrades cheap or free? Purchasable online from a used vendor, or downloadable from netapp.com? Thanks! __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, more http://taxes.yahoo.com/

ONTAP media kits
by Dan Bethe 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

Hey there! I have a couple of old used Netapps lying around that I'd like to see if I can do something with. I'm new again to the Netapp community after many years. I'll have to acquire and install all the software on them. However, as I understand from netapp.com (http://www.netapp.com/support/ues.html), all software licenses are voided upon transfer of hardware ownership as occurred with my used appliances. And I don't see any media kits for sale online *anywhere* via google or ebay. Finally, I did find a refurbished Netapp vendor who claims to have a few appliances for sale with the software licenses somehow intact for the OS, NFS, and CIFS. What's the situation with the acquisition of media kits and the transfer or renewal of software licenses? Can you guys help me reconcile whether or not I can legally obtain the following: 1) a media kit (CDROM or download of the OS and whatever accessories) 2) a license to legally install that Is it legal to at least buy/sell an unlicensed media kit? Doesn't that fall under "fair use" of the US copyright law, as a backup copy separate from the license? Or can I download the full media from netapp.com? Then I could buy a license from Network Appliance, Inc. I just need to legally use it; I don't need support from Network Appliance, Inc. Thanks! __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, more http://taxes.yahoo.com/

RE: Snapmanager for Exchange
by Hight, Steve - Perot 22 Feb '03

22 Feb '03

I agree about not doing the verification. I have 4 Exchange 5.5 servers with about 60 gig each. 3 of them are on a F820 that is also doing file services for 4000 home directories with a single shared GbE interface. Schedule your verifications for off-peak hours or just don't do them. I have never seen an esefile check fail, and we have had this in production a long time. ---Original Message----- From: Jay Newton (Email) [mailto:jnewton@chkenergy.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 4:34 PM To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: Snapmanager for Exchange For those that run Snapmanager for Exchange, what size are your Exchange databases and how long does it take to verify them? It is taking us 5.5 hours to verify a 100 gig InfoStore. I'd like to know what others are experiencing. Thanks!

oracle does not respond during the failover of 960c
by ilya.birman＠abnamro.com 21 Feb '03

21 Feb '03

We have a clustered node of 960c. During the failover, when we issue cf takeover, all ORACLE DB's became unresponsive, you can not attach yourself to DB at all until the giveback. During the failover, you can browse the mount points, create file on shares etc. I am sure we have tested this out before on other clustered nodes. Completely puzzled why these nodes are not working properly.

FW: DataONTAP and Solaris 8 NIS Update
by Brent.Killion＠pinnaclewest.com 21 Feb '03

21 Feb '03

Toasters- An update on this posting I made last month: We discovered that by disabling Solaris IP Network Multipathing which we use on the Solaris 8 NIS master and slave to provide network redundancy, the filers bind successfully. Just curious out of the respondents who said "I'm using Solaris 8 NIS and DataONTAP just fine", is there anyone else who is using the Solaris 8 IPNM functionality with NIS and DataONTAP? Thanks, The Outlaw Filer Admin -----Original Message----- From: Killion, Brent (Z03173) Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 4:10 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: DataONTAP and Solaris 8 NIS Update Toasters- A rather interesting update for everyone on the problem I posted yesterday with an 880c and FAS960c clusters that refused to bind to a Solaris 8 NIS server. Just to help us isolate the problem between OS and NIS, we initialized a Solaris 2.6 system, as a NIS slave to the Solaris 8 NIS server that we couldn't get the filers to bind to. Surprisingly, the FAS960c bound with no problems to the Solaris 2.6 NIS slave. To us, this rules out a configuration issue with the NIS domain itself and focuses the problem back to an apparent Solaris 8 NIS/DataONTAP incompatibility. I was somewhat surprised that no one replied that they are using Solaris 8 NIS with DataONTAP. I have updated the tech support case I have opened with both Sun and NetApp and I'll keep the list informed as the solution moves along. Thanks, Brent Killion

We have been using NIS+ on a Solaris 2.6 environment for 5 years and NIS+ on a separate environment for over a year with no issues at all. (Both in compatibility mode) We regard to the NIS Group update issue it is probably a line in the group file that is over 1024 characters in length. We have this happen regularly and the effect is that people have access problems usually via CIFS. We have to "manage" the entry to less than 1024 characters and the group update works OK. This will eventually cause us a problem as there is only so much slack in the one entry that we can take out. There is no way that we can split the group as it is used to manage access to a third party product. One to watch for... :) Ray Griffith -----Original Message----- From: Clawson, Simon [mailto:simon_clawson@mentorg.com] Sent: 21 February 2003 09:44 To: 'Brent.Killion(a)pinnaclewest.com'; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: DataONTAP and Solaris 8 NIS Update Hi, We have been using a Solaris 8 NIS Slave, and a Solaris 2.6 NIS Master for over a year now.

RE: Adding two DS14 Disks to a filer with FC7 & FC9 shelves
by Paul McGuinness (ext. 771) 20 Feb '03

20 Feb '03

We have a DS-14 connected to a set of FC-9 shelves. The only issue I remember was making sure that you have your shelf ID's are correct and the last DS-14 shelf properly terminated. Apart from that everything else was fairly straightforward. (there is a useful little pullout card on front of the DS-14 with LED error codes for the DS-14 - check this if you are having any problems) Paul -----Original Message----- From: Eisler, Alex [mailto:alex.eisler@intel.com] Sent: 20 February 2003 11:14 To: Clawson, Simon Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: Adding two DS14 Disks to a filer with FC7 & FC9 shelves As far as I can remember, You can't connect a DS14 to a chain that contains an FC7 or FC8 - But I may be mistaken... Anyhow, the DS14 should be the last shelf in the chain, with the shelves going from the oldest (connected to the filer) to the newest. This change requires the filer to be turned off, but any other DS14 you add can be added live afterwards. The connection method is the same for all shelves - there's an "IN" port and "OUT" port on each shelf, and you should only have one "out" port on your FC9, which you connect to the "in" port on the DS14. Just make sure the termination on the DS14 is on.

The FC9 is the last shelf in the current chain. The documentation on how to connect the shelves up is a bit ambiguous. Do we connect the DS14 to the first LRC module on the FC9? etc etc. Has anyone connected these disks in this way?

SV: snapmirror.conf, destination_filer must be the "hostname"
by Öberg Mats 20 Feb '03

20 Feb '03

Hi, You can use the local hosts files on the filers to "rename" the interfaces so that filer2-e4 points to filer2-e0's ipaddress. ---- Mats -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Lim, Weng Kiam [mailto:wklim@rand.com] Skickat: den 20 februari 2003 10:04 Till: toasters(a)mathworks.com Ämne: snapmirror.conf, destination_filer must be the "hostname" Hi All, Currently I am having production data traffic and snapmirror traffic both using the Gigabit interface: Source Target Filer1-e0 Filer2-e0 (100Base-T) (inactive) Filer1-e4 Filer2-e4 (Gigabit) Had been trying to set a private network using the inactive onboard interface just to do the snapmirror. Existing snapmirror.conf of Filer2 Filer1-e4:vol1 Filer2-e4:vol1 - 0 5,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,21 * 1,2,3,4,5,6 New snapmirror.conf of Filer2 Filer1-e0:vol1 Filer2-e0:vol1 - 0 5,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,21 * 1,2,3,4,5,6 However, the hostname of Filer2 is Filer2-e4 and the snapmirror destination has to be the hostname according to the DPG, meaning I can't have an exclusive 100Base-T for the snapmirror traffic. The error is /etc/snapmirror.conf: line 2 destination filer "Filer2-e0" does not match hostname "Filer2-e4", ignoring line Is there any way to make this work? Thanks Lim
