RE: NetApp 4gb/9gb/18gb/36gb disks/shelves, spares kits, adaptor
by Andrew Siegel 13 Apr '01

If you are considering purchasing NEW NetApp equipment, insist on a transferable software license IN WRITING before handing over that PO. Without said license your machine is worth only a fraction of its actual value on the resale market. -- Andrew Siegel Head of Systems Blue Sky Studios, Inc. abs(a)blueskystudios.com Steven Wells wrote: > > If you are considering used equipment please read and understand the software licensing and support policies first. > > http://www.netapp.com/support/ues.html > > -Steve > > -----Original Message----- > From: ScottUCE(a)aol.com [mailto:ScottUCE@aol.com] > Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2001 6:58 AM > To: toasters(a)mathworks.com > Subject: FS: NetApp 4gb/9gb/18gb/36gb disks/shelves, spares kits, > adaptor cards > > > Please contact us for great pricing on the NetApp items listed below; most > hardware is eligible for NetApp service contract or for extended warranties > from Union Computer. > > 4gb SCSI drives and shelves > 9gb FC-AL and SCSI drives and shelves > 18gb FC-AL drives and shelves (FC8) > 36gb FC-AL drives and shelves > Spares kits and spare parts for F330, F520, F630, F720-C720, F740, and > F760 filers > Ethernet adaptor cards (GB, Quad, 10/100) > SCSI adaptor cards > FC-AL adaptor cards > ATM adaptor cards > > Several F760 systems with transferable software licenses are also available. > > Scott Fischmann > Union Computer Exchange, Inc. > 6233 Idylwood Lane > Minneapolis, MN 55436 > Phone: 952 935 7282 > scott(a)unioncomputer.com >

RE: Excluding files from NDMP backup
by Tom "Mad Dog" Yergeau 13 Apr '01

How about if you wanted to back up A and B to one tape drive, and C,D,E to another? Could you allow multiple data streams and then SET EXCLUDE = C,D,E /vol/vol1 SET EXCLUDE = A,B /vol/vol1 ?

NIS/Passwd lookup order
by Rainchik, Aleksandr (MED, Non GE) 12 Apr '01

12 Apr '01

Hello, Is there a way to let filer lookup user info in /etc/passwd first and then in NIS passwd map. To emulate this Solaris behavior # cat /etc/nsswitch.con ... passwd: files nis ... I have a feeling that as soon as you say nis.enable=1 it just stops using /etc/passwd... -- Aleksandr Rainchik

The NetApp does support a /etc/nsswitch.conf file. We use it to do exactly what you suggest. I'm not sure which version first supported this but it's been available for quite a while.

Re: restoring veritas NDMP backup with restore

The entire NDMP image is encapsulated in a tar header and trailer. Each tape file has a leading file header. Each tape has a tape label.

Re: Symantec CarrierScan info.
by Jonathan Dodman 12 Apr '01

12 Apr '01

We have a thin client environment, and have been desperately awaiting the filer AV products, as we cannot put scanners on our metaframe boxes, or desktops, so that only leaves the filers !! Up until now we have been carrying out daily scans of the filers, but with this new stuff our problem is soved !! (Hopefully).

CarrierScan scans the file (with Norton).

If it is a fairly large or complex file scan (like, say, a big ZIP archive), what does the end user see when they try to access the file? Nothing?
