Ndmpcopy
by Haber, David J. 18 Dec '02

18 Dec '02

I have to move 60G of data from a folder on an 840 filer to a folder on a NearStore. I want to use ndmpcopy however, I can't seem to get it to work. The 840 is running 6.1.1R1 and the NearStore is running 6.2.1. Does the 840 need to be upgraded to 6.2.1? Also, there is no ndmpcopy on the 840. Is this because of the downlevel version of software? NetApp tech support has not been helpful at all. I was on the phone with them about this issue for a few hours today and they couldn't answer these questions. Also, I think I got some bad advice on how to set up the /etc/hosts file and the /etc/hosts.equiv file. Any help would be appreciated.

RE: CIFS Files are Moving

I just talked with the help desk guy earlier this morning and I just found out that it has happening in different departments, and they are headed to different locations. Also nobody has an account that has access to all the different places this has been happening. Also nobody here has Windows XP.

CIFS Files are Moving
by Steve Evans 17 Dec '02

17 Dec '02

We have one department that is having a problem with their share on our Filer. About 4 times in the last month a users directory has been randomly placed in a certain users folder. So two folders that are usually on the same level (\\filer\dept\user-a and \\filer\dept\user-b) all of a sudden user-a will be under user-b. The other interesting thing is that when you go to \\filer\dept\user-a\~snapshot\ all of the folders are listed as files. (named hourly.0, weekly.0, etc) But if you go through \\filer\dept\~snapshot\hourly.0\user-a everything is fine. We are almost sure that this isn't a user doing something stupid (but we can't be sure.) Steve Evans SDSU Foundation (619) 594-0653

mounting foreign volumes as readonly
by steve＠hq.newdream.net 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

Is it possible to mount a foreign volume as readonly on a different filer? I want to mount a corrupted volume as readonly on another working filer. In fact, I can only get this corrupted volume to work when its in that readonly mode and using inodes from an old snapshot. If the corrupted volume boots normal it causes the filer to panick. So I guess what I'm wondering is if there a way to boot up one volume normally and another volume as readonly (using old inodes)? Steve

case changing CIFS filenames
by p dar 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

I'm considering moving some users from an unsupported Samba server, to our F760. However it's not clear that the filer can accurately replace all the Samba features. Some of my users have become accustomed to relying on the fact that our Samba server allows me to either force all CIFS filenames to lower case, or preserve the case, both of which aren't part of the CIFS protocol. Isthere a way for me to make my filer preserve the case in which files are created via CIFS? Thus allowing users to create and access 2 different files named Test.txt and test.txt. These are the Samba options I'm using and wondering if there's an equivalent OnTap configuration? ; Preserve filenames and their case case sensitive = yes preserve case = yes short preserver case = yes Alternatively, can I make my filer force CIFS created files to lower-case? [Default Samba behaviour]? Are there any other gotcha's or features that the Samba server offers that may not be available on my filer? I want to be sure I can keep these users happy before I move them.

CIFS and LDAP support
by Frank Bonnet 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

Hi Actually we use samba servers to let our windows users access to their data, samba servers act also as wins servers and PDC servers. Samba use NFS to access the filer. I know this is FAR to be the best practice, but Ontap still does not support native LDAP authentication ( Openldap ). I have requested several times in this list WHEN Ontap will support LDAP auth but never received a positive answer so I repost my request ... I actually runs 6.3.1 Ontap version. PS : I do not wants to use M$ Active Directory as our LDAP server runs under UNIX of course. Thanks for any news. -- Frank Bonnet

Experiences with filers running NFS over long distance
by Garrett Burke 14 Dec '02

14 Dec '02

Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone out there has experience with running NFS with filers over long distances - of the order of 10s of KM. I'm particularly interested to find out experiences when bandwidth was and wasn't an issue. For example, running at 34Mbs/155Mbs against running over GigE. Was tweaking the NFS request size required? Was TCP used and if so was it because pkt loss was impacting NFS performance? Did latency become an issue? Thanks, GB ---- Garrett Burke, Service Implementation & Support Manager, Eircomnet. http://www.eircom.net
