Even though I've adopted a policy of "all of my employers are belong to NetApp" - can't be without my trusty toasters, wherever I go... okay, admittedly my employers can only generally go for things like single F720s, but it's the *principle* that counts. Trade shows and expos really don't have the quality of swag these days; last year's "eXpo" in Dublin (software centre of Europe, and all that) netted me one T-shirt (thanks again, Matt!), a couple of pens, and heaps of squeezy rubber desk toys (just missed out on the Corel inflatable Tux penguins). Even five years ago, you could count on a couple of Microsoft t-shirts (for defacing as appropriate) and the occasional Cool Inflatable Thing. Ah well.

A multi-mode vif will, when attached to a switch or set of interfaces on another host capable of trunking, balance network load across its constituent links. Most switches distribute the load across the links by hashing an incoming packet's source and destination address. Thus, if incoming packets share the same source and destination address, they will flow over the same link. This may be what is biting you here. Of course, you need to configure the switch to tell it that the switch ports you connected to the filer's e0 and e6 ports comprise a trunk (or, to use Cisco terminology, an EtherChannel). If you don't do this, traffic will also flow over only one link. > I've been able to get the virtual interface running and fail the cluster > and everything is fine but I can't get it to load balance (I even tried 4 > clients hitting it copying 500mb files) and it seems to always want to > use e0, even if I do a "vif favor e6" "vif favor" is for use with single mode vifs only. I don't think this is your problem, but you don't need (and shouldn't use) "vif favor" in this configuration. > Here is my rc lines: > > ifconfig e6 mediatype 100tx-fd > ifconfig e0 mediatype 100tx-fd > vif create multi vif01 e6 e0 > vif favor e6 > ifconfig vif01 `hostname`-e6 mediatype 100tx-fd partner vif01 ^^^^^ When specifying the partner of a vif, use the IP address of the partner interface, not the interface name. > Does it matter what order the e6 and e0 commands come in, seems that > it affects how vif stat reports?

The vif logic doesn't care. Whether the performance will be acceptable is your call. Sam

RE: Can you not recover a NetApp NDMP backup to another NetApp?

FYI VERITAS NetBackup NDMP fully supports (release 3.4 onward) restoring NDMP backups to a different NDMP host (same vendor of course).

Hey! You guys got a knife? Geez. We should start up a list of stuff sorted by gee-wow value so that we can each find out where we stand with Net App... So far I have a lovely stainless steel travel coffee mug, a wonderous fold up and zip inside-out tote bag, 1 gorgeous t-shirt and a nice warm and fuzzy sweat shirt (blue). I don't even rate a knife... (then again, can I be trusted with sharp objects? Maybe not...) I have seen a great little multi-tip screw-driver with a built-in pen light that I believe was Net App swag as well... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Steve Vawter Steve.Vawter(a)C-Cube.COM Staff UNIX Sys.

RE: Swag

Hey you guys should give netapp a break here. When I started at Arzoon they had already bought 4 netapp filers with a disk shelf each. They paid $626000 total for them. I mean how can you expect Netapp to be handing out shirts, it would kill their profit margin :-) On a side note, anybody buying netapps at auctions? I just saw an F740, 2 disk shelves with 18gb disks and 1 shelf with 36gb disks go for $25000. The guy said something about Netapp was going to charge $50000 to transfer the software license. art -----Original Message----- From: David Schairer [mailto:njal@sw.xo.com] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 1:48 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Swag Well, it's definitely time to whine at our Netapp guys. We (Concentric) were one of the very first Netapp customers, we've dumped some millions of capital expenditure into NetApp over the years, and I've gotten a total of 1 sweatshirt, one polo, and a pen :) And the sweatshirt was from an unrelated survey promo (nothing to do with us being a customer), and the polo came from one of OUR marketing guys who got it from a promotion.

I got the T-Shirt, but it is falling to bits after a year of frequent use... Maybe it would be a good idea to inlcude some kind of merchandise cost in the support contract that is renewed for the hardware. Adding another $10 on would not be noticed at all...
