RE: TSM backup of Netapp Filers

Is there an error number associated with the message "Invalid file handle", and "Internal program error? TSM use to be called ADSM, so if you are searching the web, you might find information under ADSM. Here are some sites to try. The TSM web site is http://www.tivoli.com, then go to storage. Support is http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html If you don't find an answer here, you might try the ADSM (TSM) list server. Some archives are at http://www.adsm.org To subscribe send e-mail to: LISTSERV(a)VM.MARIST.EDU - containing the text: SUBscribe adsm-l <full_name> To send mail to all the users of the ADSM (now TSM) list server use the ADSM-L(a)VM.MARIST.EDU address. -----Original Message----- From: Asbjørn Bjørkelund [mailto:asbjorn.bjorkelund@proact.no] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 4:56 AM To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: TSM backup of Netapp Filers 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.

Multiple tape backups
by Glenn Marsh 29 Aug '02

29 Aug '02

We have been trying to solve a problem with NetApp and they have not found a solution yet. We are using a Sun system running Solaris with attached tape drives to backup a filer remotely using the "dump" command. If you fill up a tape, it will not go to the next tape in the Sun Autoloader and it fails. We have been trying to use several different ways of putting in the tape device to get it to continue to a second tape with no luck. NetApp seams to be at a loss to how to do it as well. Here are the commands we have tried: (issued from the Sun system "jaguar") (/dev/rmt/2cn is the tape drive in the autoloader set to sequencial) rsh landrover dump 0uf jaguar:/dev/rmt/2cn,/dev/rmt/2cn /vol/vol0/processes rsh landrover dump 0uf jaguar:/dev/rmt/2cn,,jaguar:/dev/rmt/2cn /vol/vol0/processes There are several others. If anyone has one that works for sure, please let me know. Thanks. ************************************************************************* Glenn Marsh Lattice Semiconductor Corporation Unix Systems Administrator 5555 NE Moore Court CAD Engineering Hillsboro, Oregon 97124 glenn.marsh(a)latticesemi.com 503-268-8000 503-268-8136 phone - 503-268-8459 fax *************************************************************************

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 29 Aug '02

29 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
