RE: adding cifs users homedirs and setting ownership
by jwitham＠takedapharm.com 02 Feb '02

02 Feb '02

We did the migration from an NT fileserver about a year ago. Granted, we didn't go from NFS to CIFS, but maybe our experience will help a little. The way we define the user's homedir is by throwing the UNC in the Home Directory field in User Mangler, then do a 'net use H: /home' in the logon script. When we migrated, we had our webmaster take 5 seconds out of his busy day to write a quick ADSI script that tore through the SAM of the DCs and simply changed \\NTfileserver\username$ to \\filer\username. Then we used robocopy (NT Res kit) to move everything and their permissions to the new filer. If you're going from NFS to NTFS, you'll probably have to script something. For quotas, we use this line in /etc/quotas: * user@/vol/volX/users 3G (Yeah, I know, 3G for every user is huge.) I think this feature requires ONTAP 6.1, so buyer beware. If you have multiple NT domains, you might want to look at caveats of using the CIFS HOMEDIR option. It's nice not to have 1500 separate shares, but may be prohibitive if you have the same username for different users in multiple domains.

samba smb.conf sample
by neil lehrer 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

hi, i loaded samba 2.2 on my solaris wkstation so i could see whether smbcacls might be useful for unix to ntfs on filer migration. but smbcacls won't run without the smb.conf file. the man page would be helpful if i knew what i was doing, but i don't. can someone send me a basic smb.conf that i can modify for my environment? i didn't see any examples at samba.org. thanks. --

RE: CIFS Performance.
by Geert Jackers 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

For all those who responded to my problem with CIFS performance... Thanks, problom solved. We installed the oplocks patch on one system, but no result.The same with disabling the oplocks on the filer. We also have several interfaces on the box but we couldn't find a fault there too. So like some of you mentioned about 'streamlining' traffic, we looked into the networking aspect of this. We found that users on one system didn't have problems because they were connected at 10 Mbit Half Duplex, uplinked to a switch with 100Mbit full duplex and them together with several other 100 Mbit FD links uplinked to the backbone via 1 Gbit . The filer was connected to it via 1 Gbit. The ones experiencing problems didn't have a 1Gbit uplink to the backbone (only 100Mbit FD, but only very low traffic on this link), we changed to a half duplex link and the users to 10Mbit half duplex.....and everything flies. Now we get more than twice as fast as using a normal NT server. Which were fast with the old network config. IMHO these filers are very fast, but you need to have a network adapted to it. So thanks again Geert Geert Jackers Siemens Business Services Belgium

cifs performance
by Peter D. Gray 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

Greetings all, a quick question. We use our netapps for pretty much everything here at least on the UNIX side. We are happy to do this because we know that NFS performance is good. Our head of unit has asked me about using the filers for our NT storage. I really like the the idea of this but I have no feeling for how the NT boxes using CIFS rather than local disk will perform. I know some people are doing this. If you have experience with using CIFS for NT storage (databases etc) could you pls mail me with your experiences? Does anybody have information on CIFS performance in general they wish to share? Regards, pdg -- See mail headers for contact information.

NDMP restore issues resolved
by Matt Musgrove 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

Hi, Thanks to all the people who replied to my questions about NDMP restores from NetApp using Networker 6.1.1 on Solaris. Our issues were resolved (by NetApp) and the following findings made: DAR (Direct Access Restore) =========================== DAR is limited to 1024 files. If you try and recover more than 1024 files the restore will complete without error but only 1024 files will be recovered. This is in my opinion a Networker bug. Could also find no documentation about this1024 files limit. DAR is best used for recovering a few files from a large save set. When trying to recover hundreds of files the recover rate is very slow. In order to use nwrecover for recovering many files you must take out the line "DIRECT=y" in client setup. The restore will parse the whole saveset. Once finished, remember to put DIRECT=y back again. Recovering files past the browse policy ======================================= Our browse policy is set to 3 months but the media database is retained for 15 years. In order to recover files over 3 months old run the following command to get the save set information. % mminfo -aV -c netapp (where netapp is the client name) NetApp1Full.001 netapp 29 GB full /vol/unix 1351792385 1011913207 01/24/02 11:00:07 PM 04/27/02 01/24/17 0 30445916163 3 0 1351780097 30445916164 cbN Load the tape manually and fast forward to the right place on the tape. In the example above the command would be mt -f nrst1a fsf 3 (where nrst1a is the device name) View the contents of the backup with % restore tbf 60 nrst1a To restore to a specific location use the following (rewind and fsf if you ran a restore tbf first) % restore xbfD 60 nrst1a /vol/destination /vol/unix/file_to_recover If you don't specify a restore location it will go to /vol/vol0. Note, 60 is the block size which Networker defaults to. best regards Matt Musgrove Thales

RE: F720 & HP HVD LTO & NetVault

Hi, I'd be interested to know if you get anywhere with the HP LTO drives. We've just purchased a F820, I've had discussions with a few of the folk at NetApp and they've all said that the HP LTO drive isn't supported, something to do with the way HP do their compression. We've now moved onto looking at a StorageTek library with either the IBM or Seagate LTO drives. Regards, Graeme.
