ndmpcopy failed - how to fix?
by Jeff Kennedy 31 Dec '01

31 Dec '01

I have been running level 'i' ndmpcopies for the last week and yesterday it failed because my remote connection from home to the admin host puked. Now when I run it I get: filer: LOG: RESTORE: filer: LOG: Mon Dec 31 12:57:03 2001: Begin incremental restore filer: LOG: RESTORE: filer: LOG: Cannot run an incremental backup because the previous restore did not complete. filer: LOG: RESTORE: filer: LOG: RESTORE IS ABORTED filer: Connection halted: HALT: Internal error! Elapsed time: 0 hours, 21 minutes, 44 seconds. I have checked dumpdates and it lists the last successful transfer on the 28th. Does anyone know how to fix this without starting over? This may be a stupid question but I don't recall much of my ufsrestore lore. Thanks. ~JK

RE: HSM and the filers ...

The LSC software (www.lsci.com) you are speaking of is actually called SAM-FS. Sun purchased LSC a few months ago. It is a great product, unfortunately it must run on a Solaris UFS file system. It can not run on the Netapp at this time.

We've had a couple meetings with Hitachi Data Systems recently and they mentioned in passing an HSM product called LSC that they claim will work on the filers. I'm not sure if it's a stand-alone product, or if it has to be combined with other software (Highpoint - a data management package, perhaps Veritas, etc.). Like I said, they didn't spend too much time discussing this product; they were pushing the Sun 9960. Or maybe it was the Network Storage Solutions filer... whichever. I can't find any information about it on their website (www.hds.com), but I'm sure someone must be watching, and they might respond to this...

HSM and the filers ...
by Waters, G Scott DSTI 28 Dec '01

28 Dec '01

I was wondering if anyone is aware of or using any type of Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) with their filers. We have been throwing and throwing disk space at the users and the (of course) continue to 'gobble' it up at a tremendous pace. We would like some sort of system that ages inactive files and moves them off to 'near-line' storage. We had a meeting with our Veritas reps today and they had nothing. In fact they spent most of the meeting blasting NetApp. In your responses please do not talk about quotas and all that good stuff. The current thought process is to allow 'unlimited storage' ... we just need to manage it through HSM. Thanks in advance for your help.

We have a similar need, and have not yet found the definitive answer. I am looking at a product called CyberLAB that is a software product that can move data to/from any hardware. We may combine this software with a hardware solution that is not yet determined to provide near line access.

Re: Legato Networker NDMP, anyone?
by MCope＠isisph.com 28 Dec '01

28 Dec '01

I've been using Networker 6.1.1 (patched) since about September and am really pleased with it. Most of the limitations I've seen are with the NDMP protocol. The inability to make clones is definitely a big problem but I've been told that's coming. I don't recall if that was a Legato issue or the protocol. Legato was the first to offer Direct Access Restore (DAR) and I've actually had the opportunity to use it on a number of occasions and it is unbelievably fast. The inability to do a rename-on-recover/non-destructive restore had me concerned as well but it's never come up in the restores I've done. I'm inclined to say it's an error in the documentation. As for being able to restore to another filesystem, I'm getting conflicting answers about that but haven't had the time to actually test it out. The separate tape pool doesn't sit well with me. The NDMP tapes have to be formatted/labeled in the NDMP device and supposedly can't be used except in another NDMP device (why????). One thing Legato hasn't brought enough attention to is that you need dedicated non-NDMP formatted tapes in the backup server that belong to the NDMP pool. These tapes store the indexes and since many weeks can fit on one tape if the tape goes bad you've "lost" all those indexes. It also makes media management difficult. You have to keep these tapes separate from the NDMP tapes. If you want to send a set of tapes offsite you need to send the index tape(s) as well. Networker and NDMP both have flaws but what they offer makes these acceptable. I spent 4 months evaluating different products and found Networker to be the most capable (Bakbone was my first choice because they have a GREAT product but it's still lacking some features and the company's stability is questionable. To be fair, they're a local company and I know some former employees so I hear a lot of negative things concerning their financial state that generally wouldn't be in the press) Michael Cope Unix Systems Administrator Isis Pharmaceuticals Marion Hakanson <hakanson(a)cse.ogi.edu> Sent by: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com 12/27/01 10:25 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com cc: Subject: Legato Networker NDMP, anyone? Folks, I'm studying up on networker-6.1.1, in preparation for converting from BudTool to NetWorker, and according to the docs, there are some pretty serious (to me) limitations in Networker's NDMP support. I would very much like to hear from anyone out there who is already using this backup software with their NetApp (or with other NDMP devices), so I can get a better idea about what's ahead for us. Oh, you're probably going to ask me anyway, so here's my list of things that NetWorker NDMP cannot do, which I can currently do with BudTool: (1) Cannot clone (e.g. for offsite storage) NDMP backups. (2) Cannot rename-on-recover; Non-destructive save-set recovery is not supported; It looks like you might be able to work around this by using a directed recovery (i.e. to non-original location), although they indicate this is used to restore to a different NDMP host. (3) Cannot backup to a remote (non-NDMP) tape device, unless you buy an extra software module (SnapImage, which also does other stuff). (4) Cannot send NDMP backups to a filesystem device (not even if you have SnapImage). (5) Must have separate (tape) pools for NDMP and non-NDMP backups.

A Legato rep once told me about an archiving package they offered that supposedly had some features for backing up and removing inactive files. I don't recall much of the details though. One thing to consider is how you define an "Inactive" file. One that has not been read for a period of time? If so, how do you filter out accesses by backup software, virus scanners, find commands, etc while still detecting legitimate reads by users? We've been contemplating developing some in-house tools to do similar file off-lining, as we suffer from the same infinite space consumption of our users, but we haven't yet figured out a good way to really identify inactive files. -- Mike Sphar - Sr Systems Administrator - Engineering Support Peregrine Systems, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Waters, G Scott DSTI [mailto:scott.waters@sbccom.apgea.army.mil] Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 2:11 PM To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: HSM and the filers ...

Re: License transfers
by ScottUCE＠aol.com 28 Dec '01

Hello, Kevin: "Standard" filer licenses will neither transfer to different filers nor to new users. Thus, for the protection of their company's investment, it is important that buyers of new NetApp filers insist on transferable licenses. There are used (and deeply discounted) F700 series systems -- with licenses that WILL transfer freely to the new owner -- which we would be happy to discuss with you.

License transfers

Does anyone know the limits of transferrability of the standard filer license? I was just considering swapping an older box for something newer (but used) and was wondering if anyone had looked into the contract language of "transferring" the licenses to the newer filer.. ..kg..
