72 GB drives vs. large volumes
by Brian L. Brush 16 Apr '01

16 Apr '01

We have an F760 with two shelves of 72 GB drives. There are two volumes of five drives each. We now face the decision to expand one of the volumes or create a new three-drive volume, leaving one hot spare. If we create a new volume, we lose yet another large chunk of space for parity. (We also get a small number of spindles, but performance hasn't proven to be a problem in our situation.) If we expand an existing volume, we get an uncomfortably large volume. The volumes are already 215 GB. We're leaning toward the latter resolution, because disk usage inexorably increases, and purchasing more hardware is not an option even on the horizon. How have others dealt with these matters? Do such large volumes entail problems beyond the obviously longer backup and restore times? Are we overlooking any major issues? --Brian L.

how do you tell what version of ndmp your filer is running? the ndmp log on my f760 5.36.r2, i think, says ver 2.

I came across four unused Network Appliance DISK-18GB-10-NF3 shelf drives at a .com "we're gone" business auction sale. They are sealed and in padded shipping carton and ready to ship. I opened one for picture. Accepting offers for individuals or the whole box.

RE: Excluding files from NDMP backup
by Roth, William 13 Apr '01

13 Apr '01

Tom, I believe what you've stated is true, you could use EXCLUDE in conjunction with NEW_STREAM to get multiple simultaneous dumps going. There's a simpler and easier way to accomplish this, however. Use EXCLUDE when you want write less data to tape. Use NEW_STREAM when you want to initiate multiple simultaneous dumps from the same class. >From a performance perspective, an EXCLUDE based dump can be less efficient than a full volume dump, or a quota tree based dump. This goes back to what I said earlier, use EXCLUDE to write less data to tape, use multiple simultaneous dumps to write to more than one tape drive at a time. Dump performance is enhanced with Data ONTAP 6.0 or higher. Full volume or quota tree based dumps will provide the best performance. Let me know if you require more detail.

Steven Wells' advice is EXTRAORDINARILY valuable if you are buying ANY NetApp equipment, NEW or USED. If your company factors any consideration of equipment re-sale value into its purchasing decisions, you would be well-advised to insist that Network Appliance agree to a simple modification of its standard software license agreement before you hand them a purchase order for your next filer. Otherwise, should your company ever be in a position where it needs to sell its NetApp gear -- as many companies, for example, are currently being forced to do with their newer F760s and F840s -- the wholesale value of your system will be about TEN CENTS ON THE DOLLAR as soon as it leaves NetApp's shipping dock. BTW, when Union Computer advertises used NetApp filers with transferable software licenses, it is because the systems carry software license agreements which NetApp's legal department has, in fact, agreed to modify in order to allow the free transfer of the software with re-sale of the system.

If you are considering purchasing NEW NetApp equipment, insist on a transferable software license IN WRITING before handing over that PO.
