RE: where do you usual sell a netapp ?
by Todd Phillips 20 Dec '01

20 Dec '01

Hi Ulf. With the introduction of the F87, and the F85s going for 10k or less, you almost have to give the 720s away. Plus, licenses are not transferable so, that's an additional expense for anyone buying a used filer. Make sure your asking price is in check with current market value. Also, NetApp is being extremely price aggressive these days. Todd Phillips Sr. Systems Engineer Integrated Archive Systems, Inc.

All the NetApp F720 I have seen lately on Ebay have 0 bids on them. I put some of them on watch list, but all of those ended also with 0 bids. -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-865-0204

Any horror stories upgrading to Ontap 6.1.1R2
by Maglinger, Paul 19 Dec '01

19 Dec '01

Considering upgrading our 740 to Ontap 6.1.1R2. Any horror stories or words of infinite praise or wisdom? In all honesty 6.0.1R3 has been running like a charm, our firmware is up to date, but our disk firmware is NA02 and the latest and greatest is NA06. Remember, you are unique... just like everyone else! Paul Maglinger A+, CA, CET, MCSE Systems Administrator Shoe Carnival Inc. (812)867-4674 pmaglinger(a)scvl.com

Ok, My fault for falling asleep, but I must have missed the f85 -> f87 transition. Looking at the f87 specs, I can't tell the difference from what I recall for the f85. Whassup with this new box? --Sam

What kind of security are you using, unix,ntfs or mixed? The latter one may cause more or less obscure problems. > is this happening because his id is in the nt domain admins group and > administrator is mapped to root in usermap.cfg? if so, what is a good way to > approach this? admins should always have two ids? Just the way NT works in a CIFS/NetApp environment. How does the netapp decide what Hat the admin is working under, as administrator or as self as a normal user? This is a problem I encounter often in a mixed environment. As long as the admin group users are not mixing environment ie just working from the NT world, things work usually OK. Ofcourse I have often a problem as I work in both worlds, and often have to change ownerships of my files to myself on my unix box. >>>>>>>>>>>>.rune -- Rune Bakken "I feel sorry for people who don't drink.

What cache value is what?
by l l 19 Dec '01

19 Dec '01

What does the "system board memory" value refer to in sysconfig? What does the NVRAM cache refer to? If I were to compute the "cache size" for a filer, which would I chose? I'm looking for the total size of the read and write cache for the filer.

ownership changing under nfs and unix style qtree
by neil lehrer 18 Dec '01

hi, ontap 6.1.1r2 nfs and cifs, nt4 domain and nis. i have a user whose dirs and files keep getting their ownership changed to root and then he can't manipulate the files. he accesses his files from win nt 4 with an nfs client. is this happening because his id is in the nt domain admins group and administrator is mapped to root in usermap.cfg? if so, what is a good way to approach this? admins should always have two ids? thanks. -- regards +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Neil Lehrer + + United States International Broadcasting Bureau + System Development Division + + voice 202 619-2524 + fax 202 619-3576 + nlehrer(a)ibb.gov + + " is this crisis an opportunity or just + another grab the fire extinguisher moment?" + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

RE: Performance and vifs
by Drew O'Donnell 18 Dec '01

18 Dec '01

Yes I have, It only uses the additional ports when necessary, also you need to be careful how you set up your trunk groups, they are manufacturer defined. We use Foundry switches, and set them up as server based trunk groups. If the trunk is not defined properly on the switch you may also experience this problem. If you have the capability of switching to Gigabit II I recommend it, we had a lot of issues with our quad cards and the trunk groups on the switches. We implemented the Gigabit II cards on our 820 in a single vif with no issues. Drew -----Original Message----- From: Haber, David J.

My question is about vifs. I have a 4 port vif using a quad NIC in an 820 filer. I have ether channel set up on my Cisco 5500 switch. All seems to be ok except it looks like only the first port in the vif is doing any work. Has anyone seen something like this?
