I am using snapmirror over a T1 to transfer to volumes between a 760 and an 840 both running 6.1.1.r2. The 760 is GigE and the 840 is 10/100, when I look at sysstat I am only getting about 160kbs. Is any else seeing these type of results with snapmirror over a T1. If not any ideas on increasing transfer rate of the snapmirror. Thanks -- Steven N.

rsh and uid
by Jeff Kennedy 30 Nov '01

30 Nov '01

Does rsh to a filer require that the real uid be root or just the euid? I am scripting a little snapmirror update for some developers and can't get it to work when it's suid. But if I put a c program in front that sets the uid it works. However, it only seems to work when the real uid is 0, not just euid. Thanks. -- ===================== Jeff Kennedy Unix Administrator AMCC jlkennedy(a)amcc.com

Slow CIFS Write Performance
by Lim, Weng Kiam 30 Nov '01

30 Nov '01

Hi All, I am in the process for migrating user home directories from the current PDC to the filer. Copying 4GB of data took 4 hours to complete. Both the filer and the server running on Gigabit interface. Search the archive and there was suggestion on the smb block negotiation. Any other hints to troubleshoot would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Performance issue

I spent most of October with netapp on this one. For me, it was fixed in 6.1.1R2. I suggest you upgrade. See bug id 54265.

Also, what are some of the strategies for dealing with oplock break timeout issues? I've been working with NetApp support on these issues but I'd like other opinions. I'm running an 820 filer, DATAOntap 6.1.1r1, and I have a 4-port, 10/100 full duplex vif.

I do not know any other list than this (mailto:bigbackup@lists.cc.neu.edu) one, but as said above it's quiet here. rgds, Yann

Best place to buy NetApp HW?
by Wollermann, Brian 29 Nov '01

29 Nov '01

My company is looking to buy more NetApp hardware and our local vendor (the only one) does not seem to be giving us very good pricing. My boss wants me to see if there are other vendors that can get us the same thing cheaper. If anyone has a particular vendor that they feel gives good prices can you send me their name and number (US only please)? I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Test lab configs
by Joe Luchtenberg 29 Nov '01

29 Nov '01

I apologize in advance for such an open-ended question. Also, I recognize that this subject is probably as much art as it is science. Nonetheless, I would appreciate any insight that can be offered. I am looking for guidance on the subject of test lab requirements. Specifically, if an organization has multiple filer models in production, is it sufficient to maintain a single filer model in the lab for testing? More generally, can anyone point me to resources on the general subject of designing a data center test lab? A cursory search of the web was not helpful (probably because I am having some difficulty adequately refining my searches). Jeff Browning's paper (TR3055 Creating a UNIX-based Database Software Testing Environment Using a NetApp Filer, http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3055.html) is instructive from a software testing perspective. I'm interested not only in that, but also h/w and s/w compatibility/interoperability testing, as well as performance testing. Thanks in advance. Again I apologize for the lack of detail in my request. Joe Joe Luchtenberg Dataline, Inc. 757-858-0600 757-285-1223 (mobile) 757-858-0606 (fax) joe.luchtenberg(a)data-line.com www.data-line.com

subst cmd problem - more
by neil lehrer 28 Nov '01

28 Nov '01

toaster folk, mark muhlestein was gracious enough to read my pktt traces. it seems eventhough i am pointing directly to a dir with subst: subst h: \\filer\users\a\adam the command tries to get attribs from \\filer\users\a. so eventhough i had cifs.bypass_traverse_checking on and even an X perm on \\filer\users\a subst got mad. putting some level of read on \\filer\users\a seems to correct it. subst h: \\filer\users\a\adam then works. right now i have R,X on it. any comments? thanks -- regards
