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.

This is a known bug 35779. According to NOW, it's fixed in 6.0.2, 6.1, and 6.1R1.

There is really nothing magical about this, except that you must be running at least 6.1 (I suggest 6.1R1 as it has some really good fixes in it, but that's not really relevent to this topic). Basically, for non-clustered filers, if the filer detects and A and B loop on the same shelf, then it assumes dual path. If you have two A loops on different shelves, it assumes a single path. It is suggested if you are hooking up a dual path loop that the B loop start at the opposite end of the loop as the A loop. In other words, the B loop starts on the last shelf on the A loop and works it's way back. Once the filer is brought up, you can view this with the new 'storage' command in 6.1. filer> storage show disk -p Is a good start. This will show you which disks are on the A loop and which disks are on the B loop. There really isn't much to it. -- Adam Fox NetApp Professional Services, NC adamfox(a)netapp.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Honeycutt, Michael [mailto:MichaelHoneycutt@NC.SLR.com] > Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 11:00 AM > To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' > Subject: Hardware Upgrade > > > Anyone upgraded to the new dual port fcal's yet?

RE: A more selective bugwatch on NOW?

Hi Chris, The ability watch a bug that affects both ONTAP and Netcache and only get alerted about fixes in one of the products does not exist today. However, this is a great suggestion moving forward! Thanks for the feedback. We've added this request to our project list and will work to get that functionality added soon. We'll get back to you when we know the exact date that the changes will be implemented.

Novell integration/migration experiences
by Ambrose_Earle＠shamrockfoods.com 17 May '01

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?

We run CIFS (NT) only filers here, Migration was straight forward enough for us as we where running NT servers at the time. We used more command files than you could shake a stick at, mainly to do with coping data from our server to the filers, creating users shares, applying permissions and changing user accounts. A couple of things that caught out a little where that we used all local groups in our domain model and had to change them all to global groups that the filer understood and the version of OnTAP we used was a little flaky (5.3.6h1r2d2) that said now we're up to 6.0.1r3 things are a lot more stable. Oh and the NetApp support guys appear to have a Unix bias, we have had only CIFS on both our boxes from the start and still get ask to do NFS stuff to trouble shoot problems! Dave Kennard
