RE: NTFS Formatting
by Mohler, Anissa 11 Jun '01

11 Jun '01

It is correct that you are required to use NTFS or MIXED security style if you want to manage your data using NTFS style ACLs. There is an excellent description of how security styles work located at the following link: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/olio/guides/53_troubleshooting/con… <http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/olio/guides/53_troubleshooting/con…> However, the second sentence is a common misperception. You are not required to use the MIXED security style in order to work with both NT and UNIX data. You can access your data from either Windows or UNIX clients using any security style. The security style of a particular qtree or volume determines what method the filer will use to authenticate users and do file security. -----Original Message----- From: Reinoud Reynders [mailto:Reinoud.Reynders@uz.kuleuven.ac.be] Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2001 1:11 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com; Jessica Fernandez Subject: Re: NTFS Formatting Dear Jessica, For the NT security, the both filers must be set to NTFS or MIXED style (qtree option). Because you worked with unix and NT data, it must be MIXED style. There is no need to format your filer, it has it's own file system (WAFL).

I want to move via ndmp to a larger filer. In preparation for the data move I read somewhere that in order for NT data to maintain security permissions, the destination must be NTFS formatted. Is this true, and how do you perform this if the host is a Unix machine but other NT servers are available. Also how would UNIX data fit on an NTFS format. Any help is greatly appreciated.

FS: F330
by Bill Bradford 10 Jun '01

10 Jun '01

Well, after a fruitless search for affordable (at least on my current budget) drives/cannisters for my F330, I've decided to give up and just get rid of it to someone that can use it for spares if nothing else. So: FS: One F330 According to people @ NetApp, this unit was probably a pre-release/ prototype/engineering model. Has a putty/beige front panel instead of a dark blue one, and the cover for the floppy drive area was either never finished or painted silver sometime before I got it. Has 2meg NVRAM (4 if I can find those other two NVRAM SIMMs), one DEC BA350 SESCSI drive shelf (no power supply or drives). No RAM on the motherboard, but we all know where to get that... System Serial # 02005 Email me if interested.. Bill -- Bill Bradford mrbill(a)mrbill.net Austin, TX

RE: Changing UIDs on LOTS of files
by Nail, Larry 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

One of our admins sent this out a couple of days ago... Might be helpful. Hi All, This weekend, I found myself changing the UID of all files which belonged to a particular user in ~40 directories. Since the majority of these directories contained snapshot directories, this task was impossible to complete within the time frame of the weekend without "pruning" the snapshot directory out of the find statement that I used. Since I expect that we will be seeing more and more need to perform this type of task with the merge, I thought that I would share the syntax that I used to accomplish this. Lets assume that I am changing the UID of all files and directories, within the current directory, from 444 to 555 and that I do not want my find command to run through the .snapshot directory. find . -name .snapshot -prune -o -user 444 -exec chown -h 555 {} \;

un-scientific NFS poll
by Thompson, Arnold 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

Greetings toasters, For network product planning purposes, I am taking a very brief & un-scientific poll on your use of NFS. Your participation is entirely optional but greatly appreciated. All replies will be kept confidential. Do you use: NFSv2, NFSv3 or both? If both, what % mix? TCP, UDP or both? If both, what % mix? CIFS, HTTP, FTP, etc. in addition to NFS? If so, what % mix? A layer 2 protocol *other* than Ethernet? If so, which one? Optional Bonus Round - What is (are) your: State, or country if outside the USA? Top three applications for filers? (one or two is OK as well) Application server platform(s) of choice? Ethernet speed (10,100 or gigabit)? In the interest of minimizing postings to the toasters list, please reply directly to me, arnie(a)netapp.com. Thank you for your participation!

Re: Backup: Tape Libraries

NDMP is proven and has no problems. It is fast and reliable. If you have a Drive dedicated you can Direct attach the drive which is good and fast and has less overhead. I have a Adic Scalar 100 with AIT II Tape drives connected to Netapp and it works well for me.

Backup: Tape Libraries
by Puneet Gulati 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

Hi All, I just bought a F840 with 300gb usable but our growth rate is pretty rapid. One year from today the expected space usable will touch 1.5 TB. I am looking at two products for backup (using Veritas Netbackup 3.4/ data center running on a Sun Solaris 220R) that can handle it properly with good support and technology. This is what I short listed 1. Adic Scalar 100 with AIT II Tape drives. 4 drives( 2 drives for reserved for Netapp and 2 for other stuff ....) 2. Spectra Logic Bulll frog with AIT II but few months down the line I might have to upgrade to new drives which is AIT II (whenever sony releases it ) and/or buy another box. The tape library will be connected to Netapp using LVD running NDMP. Also the second HVD interface will be connected to 220 R which is my media server, master for netbackup. We are a startup and don't want to burn the cash instantly. Please help me with your feedback regarding the products and their support issues, if any, good/bad, will really appreciable. Thanks for your time for reading my e-mail/concern. If you have any question. pl. feel free to get back to me. Thanks, Puneet Gulati Afara Web Systems Email : Puneet.Gulati(a)afara.com

I believe we have the license for snapmirror, but have not been using it. Would snapmirror be a better solution in this situation? Is it relevant for snapmirror that source and destination volumes have different number of drives and RAID sizes? And that they reside on the same filer? Thanks again, Robert
