re: Filers and Exchange, etc ...
by Waters, G Scott DSTI 12 Nov '01

12 Nov '01

I was just wanted to post a quick thanks to all who replied to my post from a few days ago. It appears that I may have been a bit vauge in my request. I got a wide range of responses from 'RTFM' to some very detailed and helpful examples of how others are using SnapManager for Exchange in their own environments. To all that responded "Thank you". I appreciate the input. I feel much more confident moving forward with our plans with our filer and SME. Thanks again. - Scott W.

RE: managing snapshots with Exchange ...

Hi Scott: We use a Task Scheduler job under Win2000 to run snapshots. We snapshot once a day, and defer the verification until off-business hours because it's such a resource hog. We back up the snapshot directories as normal file systems, WITHOUT USING our backup software's Exchange agents. We typically keep 3-4 snapshots on the filer at a time. Through the command-line options of snap manager, you can tell it how many snapshots you want to keep. This is a newer feature than from 1.0... Let me know if I can answer any other questions. -john John Witham Senior Data Networking Engineer Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc.

Hi ... Can someone who is using the filer with Exchange and SnapManager for Exchange please enlighten me on managing snapshots. What I mean is how do you perform snapshots?; how often do you snapshot?; how do you backup your snapshots?; how many snapshots do you keep?; etc, etc, etc. Thanks a lot. - Scott W. scott.waters(a)sbccom.apgea.army.mil

Re: UNC and username specification
by Don.Hickey＠alcatel.com 09 Nov '01

09 Nov '01

This looks like syntax for share level security. You should be able to do something similar as a Domain member with this syntax: NET USE \\servername\sharename password /USER:domain\username if password is missing you will be prompted. Don Andrew Smith <ajs(a)dca.net> Sent by: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com 2001-11-05 10:05 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com cc: Subject: UNC and username specification Hello, Is it possible to specify the username and password to connect to the filer's CIFS service in the UNC path? Several years ago when I was running SAMBA on a Linux box, I was able to connect from Windows to a share with this syntax: \\servername\sharename%username:password The ":password" was optional, if it was not specified then Lan Manager would come back and prompt for the password specified in "%username". Thanks! -Andrew Smith DCANet

RE: McAfee NetShield for NetApp
by Seth Moskowitz 09 Nov '01

I have been using Syamantec Carrier Scan Server since April when it was released and have just upgraded to 2.1.3. There were a few issues that needed to be addressed by both Symantec and NetApp but overall with a little tweking it has been pretty stable. Prior to this other then client side scanning our only other method was mounting volumes and scanning them. With the size of our volumes this could take up to a week and obviously isn't a very solid soltion. The implementation of CSS was definitely the way to go, it eased management and I have even enabled it for live updates of new definition files. >From: Stephen Johnston <stevej(a)univ-wea.com> >To: "'toasters(a)mathworks.com'" <toasters(a)mathworks.com> >Subject: RE: McAfee NetShield for NetApp >Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2001 06:12:08 -0600 > >Likewise, anyone able to answer the same questions concerning Norton >CarrierScan?

Non compliant MAC Address
by Lim, Weng Kiam 09 Nov '01

09 Nov '01

Got this message only once when power was out and the network is disconnected for a brief period of time (link down/up on the filer side). No further such message after that. Should this be a concern and any configuration that needs to be corrected? Any hints would be greatly appreciated. [pvif_monitor]: Ethernet e0: Non compliant MAC Address 00:20:fc:1e:2f:a4. Please contact Network Appliance. Regards, Weng-Kiam Lim Rand Technologies

Re: "unrecognized error 0xb" -- correct slot for tape scsi?

The problem turned out to be the two scsi terminators on the DLT's -- one bad, one loose. Replaced them; the netapp dumps to tape ok, and veritas netbackup is working again.

NFS version 3 using UDP or TCP
by Noll, Kevin 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

Hi All We are currently running over 140 Sun servers with 7 Netapp Filers. I have checked the Netapp filers and have found they are all running UDP with NFS version 3. TCP is disabled, however, I was under the impression that TCP would be a better prot to use. Could anyone tell me what they think with regards to the differences and pro's and cons of the 2 different protocols Thanks KEVIN ******************************************************************************************** " This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Group.
