carrierscan
by Tim Longo 25 Oct '01

25 Oct '01

Greetings: I am preparing to install Symantec CarrierScan, and came across something in the manual I have a question about. There is a statement in the manual that says "Virus scanning should be disabled before initiating backup of the NetApp Filer". It seems to me that this may not apply if ndmp were being used for backup? Anyone else have experience with this issue? Thanks, Tim

Ndmpcopy - inconsistent dumpmap
by Dawn Lovell 25 Oct '01

25 Oct '01

Thanks to everyone who replied to my question regarding ndmpcopy versus vol copy when migrating from a F740 to a F820! Based on the recommendations, we've done a level 0 ndmpcopy and two increasing incrementals (level 1 and level 2). On what was to be our last incremental (level 3) with the source filesystem read-only, we received the following message: newfiler: LOG: RESTORE: newfiler: LOG: Inconsistent dumpmap on inode 10831660. The copy goes on to complete successfully, but I'm concerned about the impact of this. I'm running a find to try to locate the file or directory with that inode, but it's going to run forever with the number of files we have. Is there a faster way than find to match the inode to a file? Does anyone know if this is a serious error? I'd thought that it was probably the result of a file on the target filesystem being changed outside of the ndmpcopy process. That shouldn't have happened, but it's certainly possible. I called NetApp support about this, however, and was told that it was a filesystem problem on the target filer and that we should bring it down and run wafl_check. I can't find the error in the archives or on the NOW site, so I would greatly appreciate any insight. Thanks for your time! Dawn Lovell dlovell(a)centurytel.net

RE: Veritas Netbackup Database
by Jon Walton 25 Oct '01

Now that I look, the 3.4 DataCenter install guide states: "Because the product uses file locking, VERITAS recommends that you not install NetBackup in an NFS mounted directory. File locking in NFS mounted files systems can be unreliable" I mentally took this to mean "not supported". Sorry if my previous email was misleading.

Veritas does officially support putting /usr/openv onto an NFS file system. However, they say that performance does suffer due to the large write streams. So, if performance is not an issue then it is a very nice solution. Also, db backups do not yet support disk storage unit backups. Supposedly in 4.5 they will for just this reason. ~JK Jon Walton wrote: > > I believe they do not support this due the fact that operations on the > database files involve file locking.

Deleting data
by Benny Wiström 25 Oct '01

25 Oct '01

Hi! I have copied approximately 70Gb from one volume to another. Now I want to delete the data from the original volume. Is is possible to do this without having the data end up in the snapshots and filling up the volume? I would prefer if this could be done without having to delete any snapshots since it still is other data on the volume. -- Regards: Benny Wiström CSC Phone: +46 13 4653647 Systemadministrator 581 88 Linköping Fax: +46 13 185771 Benny.Wistrom(a)consultant.saab.se Sweden Mobile: +46 13 4653647 Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us. -Calvin & Hobbes (Bill Watterson)

RE: View Security Log from W2K Client

I would like to be able to scan my security logs on our netapps for unauthorized access. Most of the products I have looked at only work on NT servers, and will not work on our filers. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I believe they do not support this due the fact that operations on the database files involve file locking. That is what is remember reading in the Unix Admin Guide.

View Security Log from W2K Client
by pkeim(contr-ird) 23 Oct '01

I have an F840 with 6.1.1R1. I've got CIFS access logging enabled and I'm able to view my /etc/logs/adtlog.evt file from an NT4.0 server. However, when I attempt to open the same file from a Windows 2000 Professional machine, I receive an error indicating that I should "Select a Type for this Log". The pull-down menu of the "Log Type" field only has "(Unspecified)" as an option -- it should have application, security, or system as choices. Has anyone else had success opening a filer security log from the event viewer of a W2K client? Thank you in advance, Patrick Keim
