RE: Simple 760 question ...

That's correct. You can not add RAM to any of NetApps Filers. They are configed and shipped from the factory and cannot be modified. Only way to add RAM would be to upgrade the head. -----Original Message----- From: Rune Bakken To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Sent: 3/22/2002 8:58 AM Subject: Re: Simple 760 question ...

Same thing. I've done several of these. Even in a clustered config, the Filers are still autonomous until a fail over occurs. So, when adding a DS14 to an existing loop, it needs to be the last one on the loop. You have to break the cluster. Down the filer your adding the shelf to. Ad the shelf. Bring filer back on line. Re-establish the cluster. Good luck.

RE: R100 Price?
by 張自光 22 Mar '02

I agree. I also make my living selling NetApps right here in Taiwan. However, maybe the scenario is true for North America market. But in Taiwan, or the whole Asia market, USD$300,000 as the entrance price is TOO ridiculous. People will buy high performance filers with this price, but not for some IDE disks assembled, low- performance nearline filers. If they want to compete with other nearline storage devices in this market, they should set the entrance lower. I think I can persuade my clients to spend USD$100,000 for a NearStore with 4TB capacity, but not a USD$300,000 12TB NearStore. Why not let customers choose the capacity and price tag they want? *Sigh* Regards, -- Allen TK. Chang Syscape Tech -----Original Message----- From: Joe Luchtenberg Sent: 2002/3/22 To: toasters(a)mathworks.com <mailto:toasters@mathworks.com> Cc: Subject: RE: R100 Price? No error. Note that this price is for 12TB raw (that's the cost to get into the NearStore dance). Well under $0.03 per raw MB (NetApp promotional materials cite $0.02, but I think that's just for the h/w - list price is $275K for the base 12TB system). That's a whole bunch less than a filer -- an F840c or F880c at 12TB will run you 2.5-3x more, and multiple smaller filers even more than that. Of course, the NearStore isn't meant to replace production filers. You're right to make the comparison to other nearline storage devices, and that's where NetApp has to sell its value proposition. I.e. integration with other filers (SnapMirror, SnapVault, SnapRestore), snapshot technology, no latency (compared to libraries w/ media pickers), universal access, better reliability, etc... Other disk-based nearline products are rushing to market now, too. Some are simply repackaged low-end NAS being repositioned to grab some market share. Others may be real players. However, I don't think there's another vendor going this aggressively into the nearline market space that has the comprehensive solution and integration across the enterprise that you can get with NetApp, though. Of course I'm a little biased, since I make some of my living selling these things. :-] Joe Joe Luchtenberg Dataline, Inc.

Simple 760 question ...
by Waters, G Scott DSTI 22 Mar '02

22 Mar '02

Here is a simple one (I think) that I can not find the answer to ... What is the maximum amount of RAM that can be installed in a F760 filer?? My recollection (which I hope is correct) is that new filers come max'ed out with RAM ... but the older filers did not and thus could be upgraded. Is that correct? Thanks for your help. - Scott W. scott.waters(a)sbccom.apgea.army.mil
