RE: access filer from boot floppy
by Mumphrey, Robert N 29 Aug '01

29 Aug '01

We are performing this exact process at our site. We actually do our Windows 2000 automated server loads from our filer using a boot floppy. Are you using a standard type of boot floppy created using Microsoft's Network Disk Creation utility that gets loaded with NT Server 4.0? As long as you specify the WINS servers (and the filers have WINS entries) in the protocol.ini, you should be able to map drives straight away. Are you able to get on the network at all with your floppy? Are you authenticating to the domain? Hope this helps some. -----Original Message----- From: Asbjørn Bjørkelund [mailto:asbjorn.bjorkelund@proact.no] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 3:52 AM To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: access filer from boot floppy Hello guru's We have several workstations which we want to take ghost image of, and store it on the filer, but when i try to access the filer from a boot floppy I'am not able to access the filer.

I can map network drives to other nt servers we have, but not to the filer. Is it possible to do this on a filer? I hope somebody can help me out here.

Quantum ATL M1500 LTO Drives?
by NicholosC 29 Aug '01

Check the NOW site and it is not listed as supported library. Currently looking into the M1500 LTO Drives for a few systems. Has anybody got any success in implementing this library for the filer? Nic

Yes, the only other thing is the NIC card. You can add a hot standby NIC on each filer, or you can configure the cluster to share each existing NIC card in failover situations. But you don't need any other software. Ontap needs only to be licensed for clustering. The System Config Guide on the NOW site is a great little tool for finding out hardware particulars, part numbers and such: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/hardware/syscfg/ Best regards, Deborah Deborah Rousseau Network Appliance -----Original Message----- From: Kelly McQuarrie [mailto:kellym@sd.us.am.ericsson.se] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 1:44 PM To: Shaun Erickson Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Clustering question. Hi Shaun: You need some extra hardware to do that clustering and a license for the clustering from netapp. The hardware you will need (and may already have you need to check) is second LRC's in every self and the cabling for it and a servernet card in each head and the cabling for that. I think that's about it but maybe somebody else can verify.

Hi Paul, If you go to http://www.netapp.com/solutions/data_protection.html and look at the choices on the left-hand side of the screen, click on FC SAN solution it'll take you to the page that gives you all the information about the SAN solution with the Brocade switch. Clicking on the number by the switch, tells you how the switch needs to be configured. -----Original Message----- From: Carruthers, Paul A [mailto:Paul_Carruthers@AIMFUNDS.COM] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 1:05 PM To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: Netbackup, ATL and Toasters OK, this may have been drilled before, so forgive me. We have an existing ATL P6000 backing up our Unix and NT boxes via a SAN switch and NetBackup 3.4 that we now want to hook the filers into... I believe that the tape drives and the filers need to be in the same zone, if this is the case can the tape drives be used by other devices when not in use by the fiers?? Cheers -- Paul.

Can two arbitrary F740s be clustered together, or must they have been bought that way (i.e., two "F740c"s). I just inherited a second system and am considering turning it and my existing system into a clustered setup. -ste

You will also need a second fibre channel FC-AL card for each head so you can daisy chain to your shelves as well as the partners shelves. So you will need; Cluster kit which includes the cards, cables and software for each head. Second LRC's for each shelf (FC9 or FC8) FC-AL card for each head. And of course someone who knows what they are doing to integrate it all.

Hi Shaun, This is no problem. Contact your Inside Sales rep for the necessary hardware and software additions to make it happen. If you don't know who to call, let me know.

RE: Netbackup, ATL and Toasters

Paul, Here is my two cents worth ...with Veritas Netbackup /w NDMP option (as of version 3.4x) you can not share tape drives assigned to NDMP Servers (Netapp) even with the Shared Storage Option. Note: I am sure I will get some feedback from Netapp engineering on this as not being supported since you are setting up zoning but here goes....I would setup a separate zone on the Fibre switch which includes only the Netapp HBA and the ports on the Fibre to SCSI router with the tape drives the Netapp will use (Note: I would make sure only the drives which the Netapp needs to use are on the Fibre to SCSI router ports included in the zone). I would then zone each Media Servers HBA and the Fibre to SCSI routers ports which include all the other drives into a separate zone. This will save you the headache of trying to find out which luns (NDMP tape drives) not to use when you configure the Media Servers lun mappings. Hope this helps, Mike -----Original Message----- From: Carruthers, Paul A [mailto:Paul_Carruthers@AIMFUNDS.COM] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 4:05 PM To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: Netbackup, ATL and Toasters OK, this may have been drilled before, so forgive me.
