RE: How can I test or simulate an SNMP trap?
by Eisler, Alex 10 Jul '02

You should receive a "STATUS: Normal" message (at least I hope normal is the status on you system) every round hour. The system sends it when at the same time it writes the message to the console. If it doesn't try the following: Snmp traps enable Snmp init 1 This should generate a bunch of messages also if snmp was not initialized. You can also run 'snmp init 0' and then 'snmp init 1' and see what happen.

Strikes me that that *is* failing the hardware hisself.

Mark (or anyone on Toasters), Where do you configure the "trip value"? Also, I have a normal trap setup to go to my SNMP host, but I am not getting alerts, especially when we have QTREES set up to alert us when a QTREE gets to 90%. I have had some QTREES exceed 90% and never was alerted.

Thanks for all the feedback. Immediately after I sent the email I figured out that I can change the trip value to the normal value. Once I did this the traps started cranking up on our traphost. I was then able to view the trap message on our traphost and create notification script by replacing normal values for the actual trip values.

I have had several responses from within NetApp, all saying much the same thing. Steven Yee specifically requested that I publish his response here, so I will do that: | I would appreciate if you would repost this to toasters for me. | | NetApp Employees (well, engineering at least ;) still read toasters, | and often privately reply as appropriate. However we are currently unable to | easily post replies due to our use of an "internal exploder"/dl forwarder. | With spam-preventing changes to list posting we cannot post unless | every employee individually joins the list (not highly recommended company wide). | | Even worse, if we do a reply, it will often go to the list instead of the poster | and we don't even see a bounced message, it just silently disappears | and never shows up on the list (so it could be days before we notice | that the answer was never received). | | Should you (or any lister) recieve an answer directly from NetApp, in most | cases the reply can be reposted to the list for the benefit of all, if in doubt | as to the appropriateness of the reply, please check with the originator of the | message. | | The list owner and maintainers were (as of 2 months ago) aware of the NetApp | posting problem but I have heard of no resolution as of yet. Believe me, this has | caused some concern in the engineering side of the house. | | steve. | -- | Steven Yee == sdy(a)netapp.com | System Management Software | Network Appliance Inc This doesn't seem to me to be at all a healthy situation. I understand the necessity to close the list in a hurry due to the spam situation, but problems like the above ought to have been ironed out by now. Most list management software I am aware of allows for the set of permitted posters and the (direct) list recipients to be different. Would fubar care to comment?

NetApp Filer administrators archive list
by SMAILBEGOVIC D ext OCISI 09 Jul '02

09 Jul '02

Many search engines point to a "NetApp Filer administrators archive list" at the URL http://teaparty.mathworks.com:1999/toasters/index.html. This URL seems to be unavailable. We can't find it elsewhere on the Web. Could you, please, send to us the correct URL to that document or the document itself ? We would appreciate very much. Regards, Deni Smailbegovic

NT/filer slowdown
by SMAILBEGOVIC D ext OCISI 08 Jul '02

08 Jul '02

Some of our users in a large NT/filer environment experience a huge sporadic slowdown (20 min OK, 5 min slow) when a filer or NT BDC work with distant DCs through the secure channels over WAN links. Symptoms: windows explorer frozen, save as... in Word frozen/slow, filer share mapping lost, logon impossible, etc. Please tell me if you have experienced the similar problems... Can it be related to the WINS, DFS or some other configuration? Regards, Deni Smailbegovic
