Solaris as ndmp server?
by Jeff Kennedy 20 Jun '01

20 Jun '01

Is there software that will run on Solaris and allow it to use ndmp? I am trying to migrate some data from a NetApp to a SAN box and would like to use ndmpcopy from the filer to the Solaris server instead of rsync. The reason for this migration is vendor driven and not negotiable. Thanks. -- ===================== Jeff Kennedy Unix Administrator AMCC jlkennedy(a)amcc.com

RE: Configuring Netbackup for NDMP 3.4
by Chitre, Amol 18 Jun '01

Hi Jan, I think this is a problem with setting up the NDMP connection. First... is matterhorn reachable from the client where Veritas is installed? Try the ping command. Next, could you verify that the password for user root on the filer is indeed the same as what is registered with veritas? If not, reconfigure Veritas set_ndmp_attr. To help debug further, run the command "ndmpd debug 50" on the filer console. Now run the set_ndmp_attr -verify again. See if you get any ndmp logs printed on the console. If you do, the NDMP connection/authentication is fine. And we can proceed to the robot. Let me know if you need more help or run into more trouble :-). Thanks, Amol. PS: once you are done, you may switch the ndmpd debug mode off with the command... filer> ndmpd debug 0 >-----Original Message----- >From: Schepers, Jan [mailto:Jan.Schepers@atosorigin.com] >Sent: Monday, June 18, 2001 4:12 AM >To: toasters(a)mathworks.com >Subject: Configuring Netbackup for NDMP 3.4 > > >Hello folks, > > >using Networker 3.4 on a HP9000/J6000 and a F85 netapp NDMP host. >I authorosize access to the NDMP host as follows: > > set_ndmp_attr -auth matterhorn root > >after which I'm asked to give me the password (twice). >The command > > set_ndmp_attr -list > >suggest that every thing went okay > > Record Type: Authentication > NDMP Server: matterhorn > Username : root > Password : <registered> > > Record Type: Robotic Information > NDMP Server: matterhorn > Device : spt0 > Controller : 5 > SCSI Id : 1 > SCSI LUN : 0 > >But real verification fails: > > set_ndmp_attr -verify matterhorn > > > Connecting to host "matterhorn" as user "root"... > Failed > set_ndmp_attr: host "matterhorn" failed > set_ndmp_attr: unable to continue > >What's cooking? and what should I do to repair? > >rgds, > >YS >

Qtree Utilization Alerts
by Dale Wolf 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

I am looking for a tool to send alerts in the form of email or NT alerts when a Qtree reaches some threshold or percentage (say 80%) of it's quota. I want to be able to extract or construct the alert only for certain Qtrees. Our Qtree naming standard makes it simple to identify an NTFS Qtree. I've thought about automatically generating the Qtree report and writing a tool to parse the information out of the report and generate any alerts needed. Any tools or suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Re: SV: legato netapp client
by Davin Milun 18 Jun '01

We have similar performance problems with the Legato NetApp client. The NetApp's that we're backing up this was are old F520's, and we get no more that about 1.2MB/sec during backups (but get easily over 6MB/s during regular heavy I/O). Looking at mrtg graphs of the filer during backups has shown the problem: CPU. While these Legato dumps are running, the CPU is held about 95% busy! Since we only use Unix/NFS mounts off the filers, we're about to start backing up by NFS mounts to our backups host. We'll try ndmp at a later stage.

RE: will there be locking on oracle database files in the filer?"
by Chetrit Marc 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

We use a similar configuration with HP servers (3 machines in an MC/ServiceGuard cluster), and I can say that ORACLE locks database and control files, so I don't think it's possible that 2 different machines open the same database. BUT, one problem we get is that : - When a node running ORACLE database is down (hardware problem for example), files stay locked - It's then impossible to start the same database on an other node. The only standard issue is to restart the first node so that locks are free (but this issue is not availabe if the node has a real hardware problem!!!) The only issue we got to solve that is to use a NETAPP undocumented command that releases all locks. _______________________________________________ Marc Chetrit SIEMENS AUTOMOTIVE SA SASAOI ITS Back Office BP 1149 Avenue du Mirail Phone : 33 (5) 6119 8421 31036 Toulouse Cedex France Fax : 33 (5) 6119 2515 mailto:marc.chetrit@at.siemens.fr <mailto:marc.chetrit@at.siemens.fr> -----Original Message----- From: Link, Bill (OTS-EDH) [mailto:Bill_Link@billing.com] Sent: vendredi 15 juin 2001 21:34 To: 'luis santos'; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: will there be locking on oracle database files in the filer?"

legato netapp client
by Peter D. Gray 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

It seems most people on this list are using NDMP for backup of their filers. However, I would like to avoid that if I can. Does anybody have expereience with the legato netapp client and does anybody know if that product is being maintained into the future? Regards, pdg -- See mail headers for contact information.

Todd, Here is the remaining answer from Renee La Londe (e-Services): "Our legal department won't let us get around enforcing the acceptance of the license. But we can put the continue buttons somewhere on the top and not make "hidden" where you have to scroll down. Great feedback and we will look into that pronto."

Todd, The intent of the metrics is to show current FCS and GA releases for the purpose of making informed upgrade decisions. We decided not to show old releases because we felt they were largely irrelevant in the decision to upgrade. The 6.0x and above metrics that you're seeing are based on the platform you are selecting for upgrade. If you select F500 series platform for example, you'll see the release metrics for 5.3.7. If you go to the "Bugs Online" page, you can see all metrics for all FCS and GA releases on one page, regardless of platform using the "Release Metrics" tool. Thanks for the comments on the tool - much appreciated. Rod Bagg Director, Sustaining Engineering Network Appliance rbagg(a)netapp.com 408-822-6042 (voice) 408-994-2696 (pager) 408-205-9533 (cell)
