Data Copy from Filer to Filer
by Jessica Fernandez 19 Apr '01

19 Apr '01

What are your recommendations of copying data from one filer to another? I have estimated time of 28 hours to transfer 70 GB via a copy command on the host machine. I have tried to copy via CIFS accessing from NT servers using drag and drop. Encountered errors which halted the copy process due to files that were linked to incorrect locations. Unix files in the users desktop were linked to other machines and the path was invalid. Did a grep to locate these linked files in the user folders, and found too many to change one by one. The vol copy command is only useful when copying from volume to volume on the same filer, correct? I am looking for the most efficient way to move data. Any suggestions would be great!

administrators and users
by Ulrich Neumann 19 Apr '01

19 Apr '01

after working a while we recognised that the members of the local groups "builtin\administrators" and "builtin\users" on our filers (760 6.0.1R1) are now in the "user unknown" state. that means the usermanager from nt is not able to give us the "domainname\domain admins" and "domainname\domain users". in all other local groups the names are displayed correct. also the given permissions are ok, and we are able to administer the filers. but - how to fix this problem? is ther anybody out there ... who solved such problem? ulrich neumann brose fahrzeugteile gbmh&co kg coburg, bavaria, germany

How about after you connect to the filer, running a 'cifs sessions' to see what user is mapped to. Then check permissions of the /etc/directory. Also it would be good to know what qtree security type the root volume is set to. -- Adam Fox NetApp Professional Services, NC adamfox(a)netapp.com > -----Original Message----- > From: parker(a)redback.com [mailto:parker@redback.com] > Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2001 2:34 PM > To: toasters(a)mathworks.com > Subject: Another Q... > > > Hi, > > Another question on the F85... > > We're trying to set it up with a win 2k administration host > (we've done > it with a UNIX host and all works fine there, NT or win2k is an > operational requirement)... > > Despite many attempts, we are unable to write to the /etc > directory.

To gain read/write acess to the etc directory via CIFS, make sure the account you are using to access the filer is in the filer's local Administrators group, and that "options wafl.nt_admin_priv_map_to_root on". It also might help to put the NT account you are using as mapping to root in /etc/usermap.cfg. If these all don't work, try calling 1-888-4-NETAPP for assistance.

Hi, Another question on the F85... We're trying to set it up with a win 2k administration host (we've done it with a UNIX host and all works fine there, NT or win2k is an operational requirement)... Despite many attempts, we are unable to write to the /etc directory. We can mount \\netapp\C$ just fine, but cannot write. I've set it up in a number of different ways - with the administrative host set using a hostname (with host defined in /etc/hosts on the filer), IP address or set to 'all' ('return' at the prompt in setup). cifs access seems to be fine, we can access other directories on the filer with no problem, and we can see stuff in /etc, we just can't write. Writing to a different directory gives us files created by 'nobody4:nogroup'. We've tried this as Administrator on the win 2k system, or as a particular user (defined as a domain admin) with that user set up in /etc/hosts.equiv. No luck. We do have a good (apparantly) connection to our domain controller, and we have a computer account in the NT domain for the filer. I'm pretty much stumped at this point... Any ideas?

Hi, Another question on the F85... We're trying to set it up with a win 2k administration host (we've done it with a UNIX host and all works fine there, NT or win2k is an operational requirement)... Despite many attempts, we are unable to write to the /etc directory. We can mount \\netapp\C$ just fine, but cannot write. I've set it up in a number of different ways - with the administrative host set using a hostname (with host defined in /etc/hosts on the filer), IP address or set to 'all' ('return' at the prompt in setup). cifs access seems to be fine, we can access other directories on the filer with no problem, and we can see stuff in /etc, we just can't write. Writing to a different directory gives us files created by 'nobody4:nogroup'. We've tried this as Administrator on the win 2k system, or as a particular user (defined as a domain admin) with that user set up in /etc/hosts.equiv. No luck. We do have a good (apparantly) connection to our domain controller, and we have a computer account in the NT domain for the filer. I'm pretty much stumped at this point... Any ideas?

Firmware upgrade, F85
by parker＠redback.com 18 Apr '01

18 Apr '01

Folks, I have an F85 on loan from Netapp, and I'm looking to upgrade OnTap. I gather I should verify I've got the latest firmware first. When I go to now.netapp.com to check the latest firmware rev, the firmware release table: (http://now.netapp.com/NOW/tools/releasetable.shtml) doesn't even mention the F85, just the F700 and F800 (and older filers). To top this off, 'sysconfig -v' does not show a firmware rev on this filer, so I'm not sure what I'm running... Any ideas? Thanks, Ross -- Ross Parker | | "Lisp has all the visual appeal of Diagnostic Engineer | oatmeal with fingernail clippings Redback Networks Inc. | mixed in" - Larry Wall parker(a)redback.com |

Hey Lance, me luv, We at NetApp are always eager to help, but could you be a little more specific? Are you being held hostage by terrorists? Did you lose your car keys? Are you trying to borrow money? Has a gorgeous woman tied you to a bed, no wait, I'll take that one back. You probably wouldn't want help in a case like that. However you see my problem, Lance. We really don't know exactly what kind of advice or support to offer. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: White, Lance [mailto:Lance.White@netapp.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2001 6:32 AM To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' <mailto:'toasters(a)mathworks.com'> Subject: help

Syncsort is a strong partner with NetApp and has certified their product in our recent FC Fabric Backup solutions with Spectra Logic and ATL libraries.
