if i want to know how many active sessions there are i do
rsh filer cifs sessions|find /c "("
i count the lines with a paren. this seems inefficient. is there a better
way? i don't see anything in the manuals.
thanks.

The funny thing is that rdfile is as tame as it gets from a command standpoint, and does not require priv set advance (rc_toggle_basic). I also wonder how many Netapp owners do not know about the "hidden" commands? So, if the intention is to keep us from messing up by using such, maybe they should have used a more complex "secret handshake".

As a quick follow-up, I'd like to clarify some of my comments below.
First, it is my belief from doing extensive research into this problem
that it is a Microsoft problem, not a problem with the functionality of
the NetApp filer. Also, Network Appliance does provide a solution to
this particular problem using their SnapDrive product. We participated
in the beta testing of this product and we believe that it does in fact
solve the error 59 problem with SQL Server. However, we have chosen not
to implement SnapDrive at our site because of the overhead needed to run
snapshots (50% of usable disk space) and in order to realize the
increased performance of SnapDrive, we would have to do some extensive
network re-engineering that at this time is not cost effective for us to
do.
Sincerely sorry if I misled anyone regarding our experience.

Subject: RE: SQL I/O error
We've seen it quite a bit, actually. In fact, this error is the reason
we ended up removing our production databases from netapp filers. We've
gone round and round with both NetApp and Microsoft on this issue and
the bottom line is this: this error is due to the fact that the SQL
traffic is going through the TCP/IP stack. Evidently, there is some
latency that SQL server experiences while trying to communicate with the
data file and the SQL server thinks that it's lost the connection and
throws this error, marks the database suspect, etc... The other reason
why this error may occur is that you've reached the maximum number of
threads available. If this is the case, you will see an error in the NT
event log referring to this. You can increase the number of available
threads using a reg hack. If it's not caused by the threads issue, then
I can't help ya. Like I said we experienced A LOT of pain due to this
error and never could find a solution to it.

Anyone seen an SQL Server Error Log message saying :

where the e drive is mapped to our 740 filer running 6.1.1R2P1. We were
looking at sysstat and CPU was at 95-100%, cache age fell from 35 to 0.

So, obviously, the big question is where do i find a list of all the "ninja commands"?
One thing I've always wanted in Filers was the ability to maintain a filer without having to mount the filesystem (root) from an adminstation. Is there a "cd" or "ls" command for admins? Even with rdfile you have to know where the files are. A much more advanced shell on the Filers would be very very nice. And from what I'm hearing, maybe it exsists but you need to "void_warrenty_on" ?

I've always thought of these commands being analogous to the Windows/NT
Resource Kits. They are very useful and powerful, but poorly documented,
and unsupported - unless you are being walked through using them with
support, they need to be used with caution.

How do I restore a file that was backed up using NDMP to a local solaris
disk???
