RE: Hardware Upgrade

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?
by La Londe, Renee 17 May '01

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. Thanks again, Renee Get answers NOW (Netapp on the Web) http://now.netapp.com Renee La Londe Direcor, E-Service Network Appliance, Inc renee(a)netapp.com -----Original Message----- From: Chris Thompson [mailto:cet1@cus.cam.ac.uk] Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2001 8:59 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: A more selective bugwatch? Does anoyone know if it is possible to watch a bug that affects both Data ONTAP and NetCache in such a way that one only gets alerted about fixes in one of the products, and not the other? The Netcache alerts tend to overwhelm one if one is interested only in the DOT ones, as they seem to be issued for each patch release - or so I assume from names like "5.0.1R2D8".

DLT8000's on 840
by Leonard, Roger 17 May '01

17 May '01

I am setting up a new STK library with DLT8000 drives and my 840 with 6.01 mt status gives me this: Tape drive: Quantum DLT8000 Status: ready, write enabled Format: 85937 bpi 70 GB (w/comp) fileno = 0 blockno = 0 resid = 0 does this mean that it won't recognize the additional 5/10GB provided by the DLT8000 versus DLT7000? do i need an Ontap upgrade to see the additional space? roger leonard marconi.com

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

FYI: 220/330 NVRAM
by Bill Bradford 17 May '01

17 May '01

For those needing NVRAM for a 220, 330, etc - Dallas Semiconductor will give out 2 of any of its products as samples merely for filling out a form on their web site. Both myself and a friend did so and requested a DS2229-T (which is the NVRAM a 220/330 users), and got them about a week and a half later - boom, 4meg NVRAM. 8-) The page says that the "2 free" doesent apply to the "DS2229", but I sure have two DS2229-Ts sitting here in front of me.. Now to find some 2G narrow SE storageworks cannisters and disks.. Bill -- Bill Bradford mrbill(a)mrbill.net Austin, TX

Hardware Upgrade
by Honeycutt, Michael 16 May '01

16 May '01

Anyone upgraded to the new dual port fcal's yet? Looking for some info on what options/config changes would have to be made after the cards are installed. Should the filer just recognize that the cards are there and automatically set up the second loop? Anyone at NetApp with documentation that could be supplied would be appreciated. Thanks.
