RE: ascii files convertion UNIX <--> windows ?
by Stout, Noelette 22 Jan '02

22 Jan '02

On the UNIX side, you can also use the dos2unix and unix2dos commands. I have also found Sun's StarOffice to be very useful for manipulating UNIX text files on Windows systems and vice versa.

The filer does not do any data conversion that I am aware of. In our experience we have found that folks who use both Windows and Unix do not often manipulate the same file on both systems. Usually Windows files are only manipulated from Windows and Unix files only from Unix. However, we do recommend installing NoteTab Light on Windows and using that instead of standard Windows NotePad. NoteTab accepts all three text file line terminators: LF (unix) CRLF (dos) CR (Apple) and will generate output using any of these. So you can keep a file in its original format or convert it. http://www.notetab.com On the Unix side, Solaris has the "flip" command that converts a text file from LF to CRLF and vice versa. This utility may be available on other flavors of Unix, too. If you don't have flip, here is a trivial awk command to convert unix to dos by adding CR to each line: awk '{print $0 "\r"}' unixfile > dosfile Here is a trivial sed command to convert dos to unix by stripping the CR at the end of the line. sed 's/.$//' dosfile > unixfile On Linux, vi (vim) detects the line terminator style and preserves it. And you can also force dos line terminators with the vi command :set fileformat=dos or :set ff=dos To force unix use :set fileformat=unix or :set ff=unix Steve Losen scl(a)virginia.edu phone: 434-924-0640 University of Virginia ITC Unix Support

FW: Gigabit ethernet performance
by Hudson, Jim 22 Jan '02

22 Jan '02

Taking Sun/Solaris out of the equasion: My snapmirror between a F760 and F840 with gigabit interfaces is running at about 300Mb/s with MTU size 9000 and flowcontrol set to none. Without jumbo frames I was seeing throughput of about 200Mb/s. James S. Hudson UNIX Systems Administrator Pfizer Global Research and Development, La Jolla Laboratories 11095 Torreyana Road San Diego CA 92121 858.622.7665 -----Original Message----- From: Hsueh-Mei Tsai(May Tsai) [mailto:may-tsai@ti.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 11:38 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Gigabit ethernet performance Thanks for all the replies. Some background info: Sun client is a 420R running Solaris7, NetApp is F820 running 6.1.1R2. Both are PCI cards. I've checked the NOW sites and tried to change various Sun parameters with no significant differences. Local disk creation takes 35 secs(single drive) vs. NetApp's 7 data/1 parity volume, which produces ~30secs results. Direct tmpfs writes takes 8 secs. Aggregated results in 27.5 seconds, still not much better though. The NetApp support engineer I worked with mentioned it's back-to-back CP bottleneck, that's not on the network side, correct? Does that mean the Netapp F820 can't handle consistent huge data flows? As to Jumbo frame, I haven't tried it yet, the Gbit switch I use probably won't support it, well. Does it adds a lot to the performance? May

That's about what I see on an unloaded gbit interface from an ibm s7a to an 840, but it is still nearly twice as fast as the local ssa disks. Bill -----Original Message----- From: Hsueh-Mei Tsai(May Tsai) [mailto:may-tsai@ti.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 9:43 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Gigabit ethernet performance Does anybody knows what kind of performance I can expect from using the Gigabit ethernet on Solaris/NetApp? For example, if mkfile 1024m 1gbfile on a NFS mounted netapp volume thru the gbit interface, how many seconds of response time is considered to be reasonable? I'm getting about 30secs, while I'm hoping within 12secs, am I dreaming?

Check out the NOW site for information on improving the performance of Sun GigE cards. Are you NICs SBUS or PCI cards? My SBUS systems have less than stellar performance using SUN cards. All of my PCI bus systems use a third party card (Alteon) which is definately faster but being from a different vendor makes it hard to do a fair comparison.

Changing file ownership in NT
by Gifford, Josh 22 Jan '02

22 Jan '02

Hello everyone, Here's the story: Months ago I moved all my user directories to our filer. I wrote (or borrowed) a neat little script to change the permissions in each user directory using the cacls command. Of course, the files are still owned by the administrators group of the filer. The question of user quotas is now coming up and I know that at some point I'm going to need to change the ownership of each user directory so that I can enable these quotas. Is there a command line utility for changing the ownership of files (similar to chown in UNIX)?

Summary: Overland Data LXS jukebox and NetApp
by Darragh, Stephen J 22 Jan '02

22 Jan '02

I had a problem getting the LXS7115 library recognized by the filer. I had to go into the jukebox and set the defaults to COMPAQ instead of overland I then set the library id back to 6, and set it to scsi-2 instead of scsi3 (don't know if that was required). This fixed the problem. If I have to go back, I must use the front panel display to manually tell the jukebox that its not a compaq. Stephen Darragh

Re: Netapp alternatives
by ScottUCE＠aol.com 22 Jan '02

Hello, Art: NetApp's standard Software License Agreement permanently ties their software to both 1) the machine's serial number and 2) the end user. Thus, if the machine is ever sold, the new end user must purchase new software licenses from NetApp (very expensive!). However, some companies -- prior to purchase -- have negotiated agreements with NetApp that allow them to freely transfer the software user licenses on their purchased machines to a new end user. When Union Computer receives a purchase order for one of these used machines, we arrange for the original owner of the system to provide Network Appliance with information on the new end user: 1) company name and address, 2) where the machine is to be located, and 3) contact names and phone numbers. Network Appliance then processes the license transfers, free of charge. Our buyers usually confirm the transfer of the licenses with Network Appliance before we even ship the machine. We advise all buyers of new NetApp machines -- or any other computer hardware and software, for that matter -- to insist on transferable software licenses for the protection of their investments. All of us --- dealers, users and the manufacturer --- benefit greatly from an active secondary market.
