When I have cifs.trace_login set to on I see the user accepted by the DC and then by unix. Sometimes I get "Null user login accepted" does anyone know why that is. Thanks -- Steven N. Boyer UNIX/NT/NetApp Support HQUSCENTCOM General Dynamics --

Filers attached to sendmail clients
by JV 09 Dec '01

09 Dec '01

Dear Toasters, aka Netapp Filer admins: This is my first post, and my first F840. I have a problem with the ONTAP Autosupport email feature. My Filer is directly connected with a crossover cable, on a private network. The attached unix host (part of the larger corporate intranet) is a sendmail client, not a server. Q. How can I get the NetApp Filer, on a private network (and can only talk to this one unix host), to get it's email forwarded to the $MAILHUB which is a centrally-maintained and very reachable from the afforementioned unix host? Surely someone else on this list has a similar config? Or do y'all just have 100 sendmail servers in your organizations? Thx in advance -

RE: Upgrading F760 from Ontap 6.01R3 to 6.1.1R2
by Galimi, Grant 09 Dec '01

Mustafa, I ran through the upgrade without a problem on 3 filers 3 weeks ago. I upgraded 2 740s and one 720. I have one 720 and one 740 doing a Snapmirror to another 740 in a remote location. I had to turn off the snapmirror schedule first on the source filers (snapmirror off) and upgrade the destination filer first. Everything went very well.

hi, i did this on my 760 6.1.1r2 created unix style qtree. copied files from sun box into it. changed qtree to ntfs. set acl on qtree[only] using nt 4 windows explorer. touched existing files from mount on sun box - no acl created on files in qtree. touched a new file from from mount on sun box - acl created on files in qtree. touchd existing file from cifs session - no acl created on file. edited existing file from cifs session - no acl created on file. created new file from cifs session - acl created on file. question, why doesn't editing file cause acl creation? 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?" + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Type: ftp://ftp.ndmp.org/pub/version.2/contrib/ndmpcopy.1.1/ into your browser. Download the file "jndmpcopy.tar.gz." Unzip and untar and install that. This whould have the -i option both in usage and use. If, for some reason, any of the above is false, let me know, but I followed the above steps previously and got a working jndmpcopy. -dave -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Kennedy To: NDMP List Sent: 12/7/01 6:59 AM Subject: ndmpcopy I ftp'd ndmpcopy (both version 1.1 and 1.2) from ndmp.org and compiled the binary. BTW, is it just me or are the install instructions incorrect? I had to run gnu make in lib before running make in ndmpcopy directory. Anyway... Now I have a 1.2 binary but when I look at the useage it doesn't mention an 'i' level anywhere. In the README it does but the binary useage does not.

Unable to chown/chmod files
by John Coke 07 Dec '01

07 Dec '01

I have inherited configuration of a 740. I struggled for hours trying to install Ontap via CIFs and threw up my hands because I could not map the root volume. So, I tried NFS and did get it to mount and even got the new OS to copy over to the filer. The problem is I cannot change the permissions of any of the files nor change their owner. I _can_ create/edit files. This was particularly irritating when the install script untarred all of the OS files to the filer and the screen filled with "Operation not permitted" messages. Anyone overcome this problem before? Thanks. Note: UNIX style permissions CIFS is disabled (for the moment). NetApp Release 6.1.1R2 NFS client is Linux -John

I suppose this is a different issue than what I saw but I never heard of thes settings when my ACL's were not being "written" via ndmpcopy and for me - this is why the patch level 6.1R1D10 exists - there is a Bug ID somewhere that explains my issue. will try to track it down tw "Chitre, Amol" <Amol.Chitre(a)netapp.com>@mathworks.com on 12/03/2001 02:40:38 PM Sent by: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com To: "'neil lehrer'" <nlehrer(a)ibb.gov>, toasters <toasters(a)mathworks.com> cc: Subject: RE: NDMP DAR issues Hi Neil, This particular issue is related to Legato Networker 6.1. They do not set the EXTRACT_ACL ndmp environement variable to T. The default value for that variable is F. That was causing the restore for ACLs to fail. The fix for *this* issue requires the customer to set this variable in the legato GUI configuration. If you need any more information on how to set this, please let me know.

RE: Performance issue
by MCope＠isisph.com 06 Dec '01

That's exactly what we're seeing (I'm also seeing some latency doing a save). I had someone from Tech Support tell me he had heard something out of the labs about a problem specifically with MS Office apps. Apparently, the Office apps send out a boatload of questionable RPC requests but ONTAP only responds to about 5 of them and Office waits until the others time out waiting for a response. He promised to send me anything written on it he could find but so far I haven't seen or heard anything else. We're still running Office 97 so I would have thought this issue would have come up and been solved a long time ago. Michael "Sayla, Mustafa" <MSAYLA@mesirowfina To: "'MCope(a)isisph.com'" <MCope(a)isisph.com> ncial.com> cc: Subject: RE: Performance issue 12/06/01 12:30 PM We are also experiencing the same sort of problem. I have a F760 running 6.0.1R3. In our case the first time you open any office document it takes about 15-25 seconds but after that if you open the same document or any other document it opens in 2 seconds. We are also using NAV. If you have found out any solution please let us know. I also have a case open with Netapp for about a month now but no real solution from their side. Mustafa -----Original Message----- From: MCope(a)isisph.com [mailto:MCope@isisph.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 10:48 AM To: Haber, David J. Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Performance issue David, Exactly what kind of issues are you seeing. I have the exact same setup except I have Gigabit instead of 100Mb. The issue primarily seems to be opening Office files from a share can take 30+ seconds. Other files types don't seem to be such an issue although I've personally seen a tiny text file take 20 seconds to open in Notepad. I've been the lone voice in the wilderness claiming it's not a Filer problem although it sounds like that might not be entirely true. We did see that running NAV with network drive checking enabled significantly made file access slower. We've done extensive testing and trouble shooting with the local NetApp folks. They discovered the NAV problem. The biggest reason I've not been looking at the Filer as a source of the problem is we've experienced the exact same behavior when accessing files from a share on an NT server. That in conjunction with some packet captures we've done seem to point to a problem with NT's TCP/IP stack. The stack starts out using very small packets and takes forever to ramp up to a decent packet size (Win2K is much faster - in tests a Win2K box on 100Mb ran laps around an NT server using Gigabit). We also use NIS as our primary means of authentication on the Filer and we still haven't ruled this out as an issue. I'm certainly interested in learning more about your problem and everything you learn/hear. This has been made a "top priority" for me to resolve and it's been frustrating because there doesn't seem to be a "smoking gun" and in the meanwhile management and users are cursing the good name of NetApp. Michael Cope Unix Systems Administrator Isis Pharmaceuticals mcope(a)isisph.com
