RE: autosupport full of junk

FYI, there is now an entry in the knowledge database (id=ntapcs2966) that reflects the rational and solution to the "html-like junk in autosupport" it should be searchable via NOW in a few days. steve. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Harm [mailto:jharm@llnl.gov] Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2001 3:59 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: autosupport full of junk Thank you Puneet. I am hoping in the future there will be a normal small autosupport with an option to send a "debug" version that has all the extraneous stuff that (I understand) becomes extremely important when studying a subtle problem.

Hi Frank, The output that is being referred to is actually XML, and it is generated by the EMS subsystem in OnTap. The reason it is there is to allow automated triage of problems that might occur on a filer. Because XML is a structured format, it is easier to write software to process it instead of the relatively unstructured output that appears in /etc/messages.

More questions on SQL performance
by Jay Newton 25 Jul '01

25 Jul '01

How many of you out there are using SQL 7.0 SP3 under Win2K on a Filer? What series of Filer do you have and what have your performance statistics looked like compared to local attached storage. Has anyone out there been able to compare statistics between the 700 and 800 series Filers using SQL databases? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Is html a new feature? None of my autosupport emails are in html. I don't usually read them anyway, opting instead for a script that basically emails me the message files daily.

autosupport full of junk
by Jim Harm 25 Jul '01

25 Jul '01

How do others feel about the junk in autosupport? I see the entire messages file reproduced to three times the size just to put it into html format; why don't they run the script to put it into html when they want it and at NetApp instead of cluttering MY weekly reports? These FC stats can be produced once a year when there is a problem to analyze. The disk list doesn't have to be reproduced any more often than when there is change to the list. I think it is unnecessarily large and wading thru it to look for a current interesting event would be easier without it. I have been asking for options to autosupport with the customer support for over a year. I am occasionally told it will be in a future release as yet un-named. Maybe they need to hear more noise. -- }}}===============>> LLNL James E. Harm (Jim); jharm(a)llnl.gov System Administrator Compaq Clusters (925) 422-4018 Page: 423-7705x57152

ndmpcopy level i problems
by Leonard, Roger 25 Jul '01

25 Jul '01

I am having problems doing an imcremental ndmp copy from one filer to another. The first level i goes fine. The second one a few days later gives this error: filer1: CONNECT: Connection established. filer2: CONNECT: Connection established. filer1: LOG: DUMP: filer1: LOG: creating "/vol/vol0/../snapshot_for_backup.828" snapshot. filer2: LOG: RESTORE: filer2: LOG: Could not create /vol/volhome1/etc/tmp/restore.clrimap.184.time_996070293.pid_23341776 filer2: LOG: RESTORE: filer2: LOG: Cannot restart restore without a dumpmap. filer2: LOG: RESTORE: filer2: LOG: RESTORE IS ABORTED filer2: Connection halted: HALT: Internal error! It appears that in the etc/tmp dirs on the target filer volumes there should be files created after each ndmpcopy called dump.dirlist and dump.bitmap but on some of the target volumes they not there. some target volumes do have these files and those volumes will do incremental copies. All initial copies completed successfully with no errors. Does anyone have any ideas why these files were not created?? The command I am using for both is: ndmpcopy -level i filer1:/vol/vol0/ filer2:/vol/volhome1/users2/

RE: disk scrub time
by Fox, Adam 25 Jul '01

25 Jul '01

>From the looks of your syslog messages, it appears that you are running 6.x. The good news here is that when the time expires under 6.x, the disk scrub picks up at that point on the next disk scrub. So you may not be scrubbing every sector every week, but you will be scrubbing every sector every 2 or 3 weeks. Just some info to add to your options.

RE: .nfsXXXX files cause ClearCase remove commands to fail ...
by Fox, Adam 24 Jul '01

24 Jul '01

It's not configurable, it's not even a filer-specific thing. Those .nfs files are being created because some other process out there is currently accessing the file that you asked to be deleted. That's what causes .nfs files. It's part of the NFS spec to do so. If they are still around after the client is no longer accessing the file, then the client did not delete them which again, according to the spec, it the client's responsibility. At that point, you can delete them manually. Check out the following NTAP Knowledge Base article for more details: http://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=ntapcs1105&resource= Hope this helps. -- Adam Fox NetApp Professional Services, NC adamfox(a)netapp.com > -----Original Message----- > From: John Sambrook [mailto:john_sambrook@yahoo.com] > Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2001 3:57 PM > To: toasters(a)mathworks.com > Subject: .nfsXXXX files cause ClearCase remove commands to fail ... > > > > We have a couple of Sun servers running ClearCase version 4.2, > patch level 3, with a NetApp F740 filer providing VOB and view > storage.
