72GB BCS disk as hot spare
by Moshe Linzer 19 Jul '01

19 Jul '01

Assume I have an F760 filer running 6.x with disk shelves as follows: 2xFC8 (18GB disks), 4xFC9 (36GB disks), and 1xDS14 (72GB disks). The 18 and 36GB disks (2 volumes) use Zone checksums, while the 72GB disks (1 volume) use Block checksums. My question: can I keep a single 72GB BCS disk as hot spare for the whole filer? If a failure occurs on a smaller disk, the filer will reconstruct on the 72GB spare. Then I can replace the broken disk with one the correct size, and fail the rebuilt 72GB disk over to the new disk. The 72GB disk is then reinserted as hot spare. The only question is: Will it work? NOW says that a BCS disk can be a hot spare for a ZCS volume, but they don't relate to DS14 shelves. And any unforseen gotchas.

Corruption in data
by Clawson, Simon 19 Jul '01

19 Jul '01

Hi, I have a user who is experiencing data corruption. He opens a file in textpad, saves it then uses the file in an application and finds it has null characters in it. I checked through and found he had run out of quota. I increased this and all appears to be well. My question is - can low or no disk quota cause data corruption?

vol2 appears before vol0
by Moshe Linzer 19 Jul '01

19 Jul '01

I recently installed a new filer, and physically moved one of my volumes (vol2) to it. Since this volume was composed of FC8 shelves, while the root volume (vol0) on the new filer had FC9 shelves, the technician installed the FC8 shelves first on the loop, then the FC9's. The result is, whatever command I issue (df, sysconfig -r), it displays vol2 first, and then vol0. Frankly, this drives me crazy, and I am forever rechecking which volume I am looking at. Is there a reason for this, and any way to fix it? Thanks, Moshe -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Moshe Linzer | On the Internet, IT Manager | National Semiconductor, Israel | nobody knows you're a moron.

The vif man page (na_vif.1) explains Links constantly issue either up or broken indications based on their interaction with the switch. The consecu tive count indicates the number of consecutively received indications with the same value (in this example, up). The transitions count indicates how many times the indica tion has gone from up to down or from down to up. So, you don't need to worry about this. Sam

Consecutive count

So, I just installed a GB ethernet card, and got a virtual interface up and running on my 740. However, if I do a 'vif status', I get a very high number for "consecutive": toaster> vif status default: transmit 'multi', fail 'log' redundo: 2 links, transmit 'single', fail 'default' up: e8: state up, since 18Jul2001 12:37:34 (01:00:17) mediatype: auto-1000sx-fd-up flags: enabled next-link favored address-set-1 input packets 11626, input bytes 729869 output packets 528, output bytes 83621 up indications 1, broken indications 1 drops (if) 0, drops (link) 0 indication: up at 18Jul2001 12:36:41 consecutive 0, transitions 2 down: e0: state down, since 18Jul2001 12:37:34 (01:00:17) mediatype: auto-100tx-fd-up flags: disabled input packets 286, input bytes 25148 output packets 136, output bytes 17952 up indications 3669, broken indications 0 drops (if) 0, drops (link) 0 indication: up at 18Jul2001 13:37:51 consecutive 3669, transitions 0 The "up indications" seems to be the cause of it. Can anyone tell me what that is from? It looks like there is about 1 every second or so. Is this a normal thing? I searched on NOW and could only find one hit for "consecutive" that both had to do with virtual interfaces and wasn't in the documentation. Thanks, Jordan

Screening File Types
by Carruthers, Paul A 17 Jul '01

17 Jul '01

I'm wanting to keep our CIFS clients from writing certain file extensions to our filers via their mapped drives. Does anyone know of any NT based products that will do this real-time? I really don't want to resort to running scripts to delete them each week. Cheers...Paul.
