RE: trying to make SDLTs work on F840 filer
by Carruthers, Paul A 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

Not the same config but we're using SDLT's in an ATL P3000 via fiber channel. Initial testing has been good - dumps and restores OK. Filer saw the drives as SDLT's without issue. We have them on a 760c, though with 6.1.2. -----Original Message----- From: A. M.

We're also running the latest firmware 3.1_i1. We rebooted after connecting scsi diff cable to drive. sysconfig -t shows no tape drives present on system. Connected filer back to DLT 7000 and the filer see the lower density drives. Anyone using SDLTs tape drives yet? Doesn't seem to be much to the configuration, so not much room for error. Anna Mc.

cifs.home_dir and symbolic links?
by neil lehrer 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

has anybody had experience doing cifs.home_dir this way? i am having a problem. i'm sure i am missing something. the original post was from me and steve losen answered. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ neil said: > hi, > > our homedir structure is /vol/vol0/users/a/adam > > we want to use the subst cmd instead of 'net use' because we go below the > share. and since we have the first letter of the userid in there we can't use > the ontap homedir option. > > however, we can't get subst to work as a user. > > C:\WINNTSRV>subst q: \\filer\u7\k\kusr1 > Path not found - \\filer\u7\k\kusr1 > > subst works fine as admin. We get around this problem by creating a directory with a bunch of symbolic links in it, and making that directory our cifs.home_dir. You'll need to make the symbolic links on a NFS client. For example, we have this: options cifs.home_dir /home/shares And we have a symbolic link for each user like these: /home/shares/abc9d -> /h1/a/ab/abc9d /home/shares/fgh8i -> /h1/f/fg/fgh8i etc. On our system both /home/shares and /h1 are in our root volume, or else we would have to use paths like /vol/vol1/home/shares and /vol/vol1/h1/a/ab/abc9d. It's very easy to create all these symbolic links with the unix shell. For example, on our system you could do this: cd /h1 for x in ?/??; do ( cd $x for loginid in *; do test -d $loginid && ln -s /h1/$x/$loginid /home/shares done ) done Steve Losen scl(a)virginia.edu phone: 434-924-0640 University of Virginia ITC Unix Support ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- 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: shopping for refurb filers

There are many exceptions to NetApp's formal policy -- used NetApp filers with "freely transferable software" do, in fact, exist. NetApp has been very cooperative in the transfer of "used" software licenses to many of our customers.

Can anybody clarify what Bug #53144 is about? (See http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=53144.) Pertains to MS Exchange 2000 and SnapManager for Exchange. NOW provides no further description but does suggest for a workaround to run eseutil /z. TIA. Joe

RE: UCD SNMP and NetApp MIBs
by Stout, Noelette 16 Dec '01

16 Dec '01

You need to tell snmpwalk more specifically what you're looking for, or it will walk the entire tree for the filer. In the case of the raid tables, you're looking for enterprises.netapp.netapp1.raid.raidVTable.raidVEntry. With snmpget, you would also specify even further down to, say, raidVDiskId.0. The .0 on the end is the instance number for the disk, each disk would have its own instance number. This is a pretty brief overview of the way UCD-SNMP works. Feel free to contact me if you have other questions. Noelette Stout Unix System Administrator IKON Office Solutions, Inc Digital Express tel.

I'm trying to write a simple dainty application to check for drive failures in our Filers. I'm going to implement this app in a PERL script which will use UCD SNMP to pull variables from the Filers. The problem is that when I walk the SNMP tree on a Filer I only get network statistics. I'm getting info in the following manner: # export MIBFILE="/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/netapp_1_5.mib" # snmpwalk -v 1 bigfiler public I get about 2027 lines of output with IP, TCP, UDB, SNMP stats, plus address translation tables. But what I really want to see is the the RAID tables. Any idea what I need to do? I've found no help elsewhere on the net, including NetApp's NOW site. I DID find one page on NOW that listed several SNMP Groups found in the MIB, but I don't know how to access them. Any help is appreciated. Ben Rockwood brockwood(a)homestead-inc.com

freebsd-hackers: "Major NFS Bugs Found & Being Fixed"
by Brian Tao 16 Dec '01

16 Dec '01

Seems like it targets local and remote filesystems, affecting both the server and client sides. I'll have to try running fsx from a recent Solaris 8 or patched FreeBSD 4.4 client mounting a filer to see what happens (though I suspect Netapp's already done this ;-)). http://kerneltrap.org/article.php?sid=415 -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob(a)risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"

RE: Real vs Raw disk space

> 73 GB disks "right sized" to 68000 MB (with zoned checksums.. anyone know if that's the same with block checksums?) For 73 GB drives, the "right-sized" size is indeed the same for both zone and block checksums. For 36 GB disks, there's a difference of 1GB between zone and block checksum right-sizings.

Since you can't use 14 disks and still have a spare, I'm doing this with one seven disk set and one six disk set. (68000 MB * 7) - 68000 MB (parity) = 408000 (68000 MB * 6) - 68000 MB (parity) = 340000 408000 MB + 340000 MB = 748000 MB 748000 MB * 0.9 = 673200 MB (lose 10% to WAFL) 673200 MB * (1 GB / 1024 MB) = 657.42 GB So... that would be 657.42 GB usable, assuming no snap reserve. However, I think if you're buying a DS14 you'll get block checksum disks, which might be right sized to a different size, in which case it would be a different answer. :) MD ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geoff Hardin" < <mailto:geoff.hardin@dalsemi.com> geoff.hardin(a)dalsemi.com> To: "toasters" < <mailto:toasters@mathworks.com> toasters(a)mathworks.com> Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 12:35 PM Subject: Real vs Raw disk space Toasters, We are looking at purchasing some new DS14 shelves with 72 GB disks.
