NetApp User Group for the UK
by Robinson, Ashley 12 Apr '02

12 Apr '02

This is just a quick note to clear up any confusion about an e-mail many of you may have received from Linda Symons of LS Consulting Services. Linda is working with me to explore the requirement of our users for an Independent NetApp user group in the UK. The process so far has been to meet and discuss with 8-10 customers who expressed an interest in being involved in an Independent group. From this it was agreed to survey broader customer base to determine broader interest. And dependent on results to build a user event to kick-off User group. The event would be built upon the issues that the users wanted to discuss. The e-mail you may have received is the survey step and is 100% endorsed by the NetApp UK Management team. I hope this clears up any confusion and I look forward to your responses.

Cluster failover and SIGLOST
by Edward Hibbert 12 Apr '02

12 Apr '02

When failing over between machines in a cluster, how transparent will this be in the area of NFS locks? Does the NetApp notify the client machines and ask them to reclaim the locks (potentially generating SIGLOST), or is the locking info synchronised between machines in the cluster so that it doesn't need to do that? Thanks, Edward.

[linda@lscs.uk.com: UK NetApp User Group - UK Network Appliance User Group]
by Gavin Kelman 12 Apr '02

12 Apr '02

Just received the following mail. Thought it a little odd. Anyway else received something similar? ----- Forwarded message from linda <linda(a)lscs.uk.com> ----- From: "linda" <linda(a)lscs.uk.com> Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2002 21:49:27 +0100 (BST) Subject: UK NetApp User Group - UK Network Appliance User Group To: <gavin(a)webtop.com> Dear Gavin My company was recently approached by Network Appliance UK Limited to look into the viability of establishing a UK User Group for its customers. With over five years' experience creating and running Independent User Groups within the IT industry we believe NetApp customers would benefit from such a forum today. (I will be delighted to send you a copy of our membership overview document for the proposed User Group, to be known as UK NetApp User Group on request.) To date we have randomly selected and engaged with a number of NetApp customers to gauge their reaction to the concept of UKNetAppUG and initial feedback has been extremely positive! One recurring recommendation from these customers has been that we survey NetApp's entire customer base to gain a true reflection of their collective views on some of the more important issues. In line with this objective, we have developed a short survey form (below) designed to give us an indication of whether NetApp customers' would prefer to see either an independent structure or a vendor led approach. This survey will also help us to create an agenda for an inaugural UKNetAppUG meeting (planned for May) that will reflect prospective members' priorities. Please take a few moments to complete the survey form below and email it back to me. (If you prefer, I can send you a Word document that can be conveniently completed on screen or on paper. This can then be emailed, faxed or posted back to me.) To compensate you for the few minutes of your time it will take to complete the survey, I've managed to secure from NetApp some "goodies". All completed responses received will be entered into a prize draw and the first 15 responses drawn will receive : - A four piece wine/champagne set consisting of a bottle stopper, champagne stopper, corkscrew and oyster knife. All in stainless steel and enclosed in a smart black wooden presentation box. So please send back your completed forms today. I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Linda Symons LSCS Ltd. 07770 420937 01344 481267 once you have completed the survey please email back to me at Linda(a)lscs.uk.com UKNETAPP User Group Survey Please take a moment to complete this questionnaire - your comments and suggestions are essential for shaping the future of this group. Once you have completed your form please email your reply to Linda(a)lscs.uk.com. All entries will be entered into a prize draw giving you the opportunity to win User Group Prizes Please indicate by ticking your choice 1. User Group Membership I feel my organisation would benefit from joining a UKNetApp User group. YES [ ] NO [ ] 2. Independence I want an independently run user group YES [ ] NO [ ] I am happy to pay an independent membership fee YES [ ] NO [ ] I want a user group run by NetApp YES [ ] NO [ ] I am happy to pay NetApp a membership fee YES [ ] NO [ ] 3.

Wquinn and NetApp
by Martin Hughes 11 Apr '02

11 Apr '02

Good morning, all, We're trying to do a quick evaluation of SRM products for some Win2K servers that we have and Wquinn's Storage Central/Quota Advisor is being mentioned. They list NetApp as a strategic partner on their website, although they don't list any products specifically for NAS. Does anyone have any experience with this software as it applies to NetApp's and/or Win2K environments? Also, any recommendations for other products that work with NAS and Win2K servers? We're primarily looking for quota enforcement and basic reporting across maybe 90 Win2K servers and 12 NetApp boxes. Many thanks in advance. Regards Martin Enterprise Storage Architect/Enterprise Server Group "Endeavours succeed or fail because of the people involved. Only by attracting the best people will you accomplish great deeds." email/Blackberry: mailto:martin.hughes@halliburton.com cellphone: +1 713 303 9214 office: +1 713 676 5921 pager: mailto:7243058655@pagebb.com

RE: One more netbackup question...
by Joe Luchtenberg 11 Apr '02

11 Apr '02

Following reply re Unix ACLs came directly to me from NetApp: <<snip>> There is going to be unified ACL support when NFSv4 finally comes out. By this, all OS will be able to support ACL over NFS, if they speak version 4. Go http://www.ietf.org and try and find out more if you choose. <<end snip>> Asked for clarification whether it necessarily follows that when NFSv4 is adopted and the various Unices come out with standard ACLs that ONTAP will preserve those ACLs when backing up via CIFS. Will post reply when received. Joe Joe Luchtenberg Dataline, Inc.

home dirs can not be found for ftp users who are authenticated by NIS
by Zhonghua-Dennis.Huang＠nokia.com 11 Apr '02

11 Apr '02

Hi all, I use NIS to authenticate UNIX users, of course the users' home dirs are on my F840 filer, which look like /mount point/user name. However, my users request to access the filer via ftp, this time I also want to authenticate users by NIS, but only to find the users can not find their home directories. I know I have to configure their home dirs like /vol/vol0/home/..., but I don't think it is possible to do that at my NIS server. Is there another way to do that ? Could anybody give me a piece of good advice ? Thanks advance.
