740 ndmp backups
by Leonard, Roger 23 May '01

23 May '01

I am backing up a 740 with veritas using the "3 way ndmp" config. i.e. the 740 is backing up via ndmp to an 840 with a dlt8000 directly attached to it. the network is ATM LANE with combo of 1.5mbps and 622mbps. my performance is real bad, like 1 mb/s for a backup. has anyone had any experience with this type of scenario and have any suggestions?? i am going to try the NFS type backup as an experiment but would like to get ndmp to work properly.

Can you please,sir, educate us all on how BlueARC has suceeded in making their disks spin faster than all of the other storage companies? Assuming most people can't afford 3 TBs of memory for their storage systems just how do they get around the mechanical latenices and rotational latencies of a rotating media device(which btw, is what WAFL is good at doing)? -----Original Message----- From: Dilbert Dickweed [mailto:blome840@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2001 3:02 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: BlueARC SI7500 NAS Obviously nobody here has really touched one from the statements made. I have and have done direct compare between IP4700 (EMC) and 840 as well as the BlueArc box and it is very refreshing. It is true that some of the feature set is not there yet but they do have NDMP and unlike Netcrap, back-ups online don't crash the server. I have done my own IOmeter tests with various settings using some FreeBSD clients and this thing blows away 840 and IP4700. IP4700 is a joke anyway. Those who are in doubt (as I was) need to check these guys out because they are really onto something huge here. We are talking about eliminating the bottlenecks that exist in ALL server architecture today and reaching the next level of speed. I am not talking out-my-ass here...check 'em out! See for yourslef and don't listen to the dinks from Netcrap or Evil Machine Corporation EMC! If you do manage to get a beta unit as some have, make sure you get the failover cluster because this works much better than anything I have seen yet.... Wish they had snapshot though... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Dilbert, thanks. You made me realize that TrendMicro E-manager filter isnt working right on my exchange server.

Dilbert, you are too funny and all you morons jumping on the band-wagon Bluearc customers are all under NDA which means Non Disclosure Agreement. It was very amusing for me to see all the Netapp employee's responses to D's mail...please, more:> __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/

RE: recovering data from user's snapshot directory?
by Fox, Adam 22 May '01

22 May '01

I think I understand your problem. Files and directories in the snapshot area are READ-ONLY. You cannot change them at all. You will have to copy the files out of the snapshot area to an active filesystem, then you can manipulate them. Hope this helps. -- Adam Fox NetApp Professional Services, NC adamfox(a)netapp.com > -----Original Message----- > From: brad(a)ThoughtWorks.com [mailto:brad@ThoughtWorks.com] > Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2001 5:23 PM > To: toasters(a)mathworks.com > Subject: recovering data from user's snapshot directory? > > > We have a few employees that have left the company and I need > to get their > data back from their snapshot directories (the original files > and folders > were deleted as well as the usernames). > > The volume is a CIFS homedrive setup and if I try to take > ownership of the > folders under the snapshot directory, I cannot.

Please post your IOMeter numbers so we can all see how great the BlueArc box is.
