TSM backup of Netapp Filers
by Asbjørn Bjørkelund 29 Aug '02

29 Aug '02

Hello Toasters Is there anybody out there using TSM for backup of filers, we have a case with a customer which experince problems with TSM backup. They are using Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) to back up qtrees on the Netapp filer. TSM is based on a client/server relationship, that means a W2K server running client software is able to communicate with a TSM server running under AIX over TCP/IP protocol. And they are backing up the filer via mapped drives from a W2K server (client). The error message we get are "Invalid file handle", and "Internal program error". As far as we understand this must be a problem with the backup client, but we can't be sure and we are not familiar with TSM at all. Any help would be appreciated TSM Release, and W2K - TSM server version 4, release 2, level 1.9, running under AIX - TSM client version 4, release 2, level 1.30 - W2K client w/SP3 Best Regards Asbjørn Bjørkelund Systems Engineer ProAct Systems AS Hilsen / Best Regards Asbjørn Bjørkelund Systems Engineer ProAct Systems AS Phone +47 51842010 Mobile +47 932 30623 Fax +47 51560647

qtree Move Between Vols
by Ed Alexander 29 Aug '02

29 Aug '02

I apologize in advance if this is in a FAQ or in the archives. I couldn't find an answer there, so... I've just brought a new vol on-line and need to move some qtrees off other vols that are filling up. All vols are attached to a single F820 and my admin host is running Solaris 8. What is the best (read: fastest) way to move a qtree between vols? The qtrees I'm moving are between 5 and 65 Gb in size. I've looked at ndmpcopy on the ndmp.org site. It's intended for moves between filers, but should work fine for moves within the same filer. Also, the site claims it's been tested on Solaris 2.5.1. Have others compiled and used it on Solaris 8? Are there other viable options besides ndmpcopy? I'd appreciate any advice from others who have gone down this road. TIA.

Re: limit to number of files in a directory
by Chris Thompson 28 Aug '02

Hmmm.... another thought. You asked: > Hi all, are there any limits to the maximum number of files (or > subdirectories) a Netapp NFS mounted directory can handle? There's a bound specifically on the number of subdirectories that I didn't mention. The link count on the parent directory is limited to 65535, which means no more than 65533 subdirectories. (Some Unix filing systems use signed shorts for the link count, but ONTAP uses unsigned ones.) Chris Thompson Email: cet1(a)cam.ac.uk

Okay everybody. I figure it out. Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure of all them implications of having it on though. You may want to do nightly full scans from the scanning host if you have the mandatory scan off, just in case there was an intermittent failure during the day and some files got infected.

Try changing the mandatory_scan option to off. From the command line enter "vscan options mandatory_scan off" . -----Original Message----- From: Steve Evans [mailto:sevans@foundation.sdsu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 11:36 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: TrendMicro Antivirus We have TrendMicro Server Protect for NetApp. It's okay, but I'm worried about the reliablity.

We have TrendMicro Server Protect for NetApp. It's okay, but I'm worried about the reliablity. Is there a way to have a filer turn of virus scanning if there are no longer any registered Anti-Virus scanners? We had the TrendMicro service fail during a dat update and nobody was able to read or write from the Filer until I got in that morning and realized what was going on. Steve Evans (619) 594-0653

snapshot issue
by Fahy, Michael 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

Our webmaster, who gets email every day, reported this morning that her inbox was missing all messages received after June 10. the inbox is in a /var/mail filesystem mounted from a filer. Assuming that her inbox had gotten corrupted since yesterday, I looked at the snapshots to find one that had her recently received messages. [/var/mail/.snapshot/hourly.0] ls -l mthomas -rw-rw---- 1 mthomas mail 14482423 Aug 27 08:13 mthomas [/var/mail/.snapshot/hourly.1] ls -l mthomas -rw-rw---- 1 mthomas mail 14482423 Jun 10 12:21 mthomas Note that the file from the hourly.1 snapshot appears to be the same file as the one from the hourly.0 snapshot but it has a June 10 date. All the other snapshots also have the June 10 date. Has anyone seen anything like this with snapshots?
