6.1R1 & snapmirror
by Francett, Robert D (SAIC) 18 May '01

18 May '01

Hello All, We're planning an upgrade of a pair of F740 filers in snapmirror configuration from DOT 5.3.6R1P1D1 to DOT 6.1R1. The F740s currently support FC8 & FC9 shelves with 18G drives. In addition to the mandatory firmware upgrade to the filers, we are also planning the addition of a new FC9 shelf of 7/72G drives to be served by a dedicated FC adapter on each filer. Network Appliance has indicated we should upgrade the target filer first, then the source machine. Otherwise, we expect no worries. Does anyone have experiences, good or bad, with DOT 6.1R1 and snapmirror that we should be aware of? Thanks, Bob Francett BP Exploration (Alaska)

Question on OS upgrades when clustered
by Allen, Pat 18 May '01

18 May '01

Hi all, I've just clustered a couple of F740's. I've got about 6 years of experience upgrading the OS on filers but have never done it on a cluster before. Do I need to do anything special to insure that both boxes are on the same version of the operating system? I will be going from 6.0.1R3 to 6.1R1. Thanks! --- Pat Allen (pat(a)mbari.org) Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) 7700 Sandholdt Rd, Moss Landing, CA 95039 (voice) 831-775-1724; (fax) 831-775-1620

RE: Novell integration/migration experiences
by Benn, Paul 18 May '01

Having lived through a NetWare to NT migration at a previous employer I can share a few tidbits with you. You're gonna have to bite the bullet because moving the data and shares over is a manual process. If you haven't already done so, you'll need to have your NT or Win2K domain in place and dual redirectors installed (and working) on the client machines (more on this in the white paper referenced below). You can migrate the user home directories over in smaller (perhaps departmental) groups. I don't know how receptive your team is to working weekends but we split up into teams and alternated Saturday shifts so that when the users came in on Monday, everything was migrated. There are some tools, though, to facilitate migrating NDS user accounts over to Active Directory. We've not used them in-house but here are a few names you might want to look into: Netvision: Synchronicity NetIQ: Netware Migrator Microsoft: as I recall they also have an NDS->AD tool available. Check out this article (product recommendations in the side bar): http://www.computerworld.com/cwi/story/0,1199,NAV47_STO52669,00.html Don't know if you've already seen this but perhaps you can glean a few pearls of wisdom by giving a quick scan: http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3053.html Regards, Paul Benn Network Appliance -----Original Message----- From: Ambrose_Earle(a)shamrockfoods.com [mailto:Ambrose_Earle@shamrockfoods.com] Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2001 8:46 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Novell integration/migration experiences Anyone out there have any war stories about integrating and then migrating user shares from Netware to a filer and then ultimately to an NT-only environment that they'd like to share?

RE: DLT8000's on 840

The parameter listed for DLT8000 is incorrect in 6.0.1. This has been fixed in 6.0.2 (burt#35779.) To fully utilize the capacity of DLT8000, you should upgrade your ONTAP. C.P.

Could you point us at the relevent documentation that describes this? I've been searching NOW and haven't come up with it yet.
