NetIO DMA Re-ACLing
by Lim, Weng Kiam 15 May '02

15 May '02

Hi, Seeking feedback from users who had tried using the NetIQ's DMA (Domain Migration Administrator) to migrate from NT to 2000 domain and perform the re-ACL on all files in the Netapp filer. Any issues that I should watch out for? TIA Weng-Kiam Lim

unable to create files longer than 16 chars?
by Kelsey Cummings 14 May '02

14 May '02

I've got the spooky problem here, NetApp support is working on it now but I thought I'd ask here too. This morning a unix only qtree filled up, we added space and deleted some cruft from it. So now, it's got _plenty_ of room. However, it won't let anything create a file with a name longer than 16 chars: IE: # touch /nfs/mail/kgc.really.long.filename.weirdness touch: /nfs/mail/kgc.really.long.filename.weirdness: No space left on device # touch /nfs/mail/kgc.fubar It's isolated to the single qtree on a 740 cluster running 5.3.7. This is got us spooked. Anyone ever seen this before? (I hear rumors that sometimes this happens in a CIFS environment, but we are 100% NFS.) It's also be verified to _not_ be a client problem. -- Kelsey Cummings - kgc(a)sonic.net sonic.net System Administrator 300 B Street, Ste 101 707.522.1000 (Voice) Santa Rosa, CA 95404 707.547.2199 (Fax) http://www.sonic.net/ Fingerprint = 7F 59 43 1B 44 8A 0D 57 91 08 73 73 7A 48 90 C5

RE: 740 SCSI tape controller slot assignment?
by Eisler, Alex 13 May '02

13 May '02

Well, if you take a look at /etc/sysconfigtab, you'll be able to see all the "right" configurations. One of the lines read: allow F740 X201X 1 6,2 2 which actually means that it's slots 6 and 2. (This is from a 6.1.1 system also). There are two options: The manual is right and this file has a typo (happened before) which means you can just correct it in this file and that's it (if the tape is working OK, then this should be the fix). The other option is that the manual is wrong and the file right, which means you have to move the adapter to either slot 2 or 6. I would consult NetApp before doing any of these... Alex. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Davis [mailto:jdavis@cs.arizona.edu] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 13:39 To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: 740 SCSI tape controller slot assignment? A 740 running 6.1.1 keeps logging sysconfig: SCSI Adapter card (PN X201X) in slot 1 must be in one of these slots: 6,2. and indeed we do have a DLT7000 hooked up to a SCSI adapter in slot 1. But checking the 6.1.1 configuration guide, "SCSI for tape" shows slot 6 as the first choice ("X1") and slot 1 as the second choice ("X2") and doesn't list slot 2 as a valid choice at all. What am I missing?

re-registering filer in wins
by neil lehrer 10 May '02

10 May '02

data ontap 6.1x, nfs and cifs on f760s we may need to rebuild our wins databases. we can re-register our nt servers after clearing wins by doing nbtstat -RR from the server. how do you re-register a filer? restarting cifs will do it. i tried C:\WINNT>nbtstat -a file1 -RR and got back "Done Release and Refresh of Registered names" but i don't know if it really did anything. has anyone done this before, i didn't see anything in now other than restarting cifs. ---- regards

Root Volume Free Space Requirement for DataONTAP Upgrade
by Chuah, Nicholas 10 May '02

10 May '02

Hi all, Is there any documentation or guideline out there for free space requirement on DataONTAP upgrade. Root volume is currently about 12G total with 1.5G free space. Roughly 90% full. Will be looking to upgrade from 5.3.5R2 to 6.1.2R3. Unfortunately increasing the disk capacity is not an option right now. Am I out of luck? Any advice would be appreciated. Regard, Nic

odd netstat indications
by Leonard, Roger 09 May '02

09 May '02

i have filers with ATM interfaces and two ELANS per ATM NIC configured. each of these ELANS is on its own IP network and all the ifconfig info such as netmask and broadcast look fine. each of these interfaces are separatley registered with my naming services and one of them is used for backup only. however, when doing a netstat and looking at the port connections, it appears that some of the traffic from my other networks is going to both interfaces. i am running routed on all filers and have proper default routes set up. the netstat -rn info looks correct as to which interface is getting routed to. i am confused as to why some of these connections in the netstat output appear to be going to my backup network interfaces. does anyone know of any issues with either routed or ATM LANE on the filers that could be causing this? thanks, roger

RE: re-registering filer in wins

I just ran the 'ifconfig yadda yadda yadda' at the console from /etc/rc and it reregistered with WINS on one of our dev 880 filers. It hung my telnet session for a second, so I'm assuming it dropped and re-brought up the link...

Do file locks affect snapshots?
by Steve Losen 09 May '02

09 May '02

We are running ONTAP 6.1.1R2. I thought I read somewhere that there are no file locks in a snapshot. The snapshot is read only, but no files are locked, so you can open any file if you have the necessary permissions. However, I was running a virus scan (Norton) on a snapshot and it failed to open a few files, according to the log. I'm pretty sure it was not a permissions problem. We use unix passwd authentication for CIFS and therefore all files have unix permissions. The CIFS user was root (uid 0) and Norton successfully scanned about 180,000 files, many of which are readable only by owner (and superuser). Norton failed to open 16 files. Here is an error from the log: Scan could not open file F:\weekly.0\a\af\afc3f\private\Disparity.doc [00000012] (We made a read only share out of the .snapshot directory and attached it to drive F) So that got me wondering about file locks. If a file is locked when a snapshot is created, is the lock included in the snapshot? And if so, does it lock the file in the snapshot? Or else, if a file in the active filesystem is currently locked, does that affect access to the corresponding file in a snapshot? Later on, using the same share as above, I was able to copy the file to the local desktop, so W2000 was able to open it. Maybe it's a Norton thing. I'll try and look up that error code [00000012]. Is this a CIFS error perhaps? By the way, Norton failed to open some other files with error code [00000003] but the ones I checked were all symlinks that the filer could not follow, so that makes perfect sense.

Thanks for everyone's feedback. I'm downloading secure admin right now.

SecureAdmin is the way; I really don't like accessing devices via telnet or plain http. Now I have both ssh and https. p.
