Re: Virus scanning for the Netapp

Seems like they could send an SNMP trap to another computer and have it do the scan "E.J.

RE: BudTool transition news
by Mike Sphar 10 Apr '01

10 Apr '01

For what it's worth, we had pretty much the same experiences with Legato. Terrible support, buggy software, etc. However, I'm informed by our backups administrator that recently, Legato has changed their tune quite a bit. Their customer support has been much more responsive and helpful, and the latest releases (v6?) is their most stable and reliable release in years. I'm still regarding them with a bit of suspicion due to how often we were burned in the past, but they do appear to be making a strong effort to better themselves after their recent financial upheavals. -- Mike Sphar - Sr Systems Administrator - Engineering Support Services - Remedy Corporation BOFH, GWP, MCP, MCP+I, MCSE, BFD -----Original Message----- From: neil lehrer [mailto:nlehrer@ibb.gov] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 10:40 AM To: Marion Hakanson Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: BudTool transition news fyi. we weren't budtool users, but were legato and wanted to use networker with our new filers. never got anywhere. tech support was apathetic, no followup, they closed cases that were not done. we think they lost the ndmp recipe. we gave up.

Old thread revisited (*was RE: Server capacity and performance)
by Joe Luchtenberg 10 Apr '01

10 Apr '01

In searching through the archives for capacity planning tidbits, I uncovered the following posted last March, in part, by Paul W. Brosseau of NetApp: "...Whenever your disks get above 75% full you should be considering whether you need more capacity or whether you need to delete some data. This is true in all filesystem environments." Link to his complete post: http://teaparty.mathworks.com:1999/toasters/5323.html 1. Is this figure documented anywhere? Is it a standard industry rule of thumb? 2. Does the 75% include Snapshots? TIA.

restoring veritas NDMP backup with restore
by Bruce Arden 10 Apr '01

10 Apr '01

Does anyone know how to restore a Veritas NetBackup NDMP backup using restore (or ufsrestore)? Its quite easy with a single tape backup (you do a "mt -f nrst0a fsf 1; mt -f nrst0a fsr 2" to skip over the Veritas header). But after skipping the header on a second tape, the format doesn't seem to be the same as a normal dump continuation tape. - Bruce -- Bruce Arden arden(a)nortelnetworks.com Nortel Networks, London Rd, Harlow, England +44 1279 40 2877

Good to find somebody who has been carrying out some testing. We are very interested in finding out if there has been a performance hit on the filers when virus scanning is enabled ? We are in the process of getting a beta version, but any news from people who have already tested is always good.

Dear Craig, Thanks for your interest in Trend Micro's ServerProtect for Network Appliance Filer 5.3.

I did want to let you know that 1) at least one person has good things to say about your product 2) another person would like to see more info on your company's web site. If you know the right person to contact, perhaps you could get the Trend website updated with more info? But perhaps you will not be putting info on the website until the beta test is complete? I am glad to see interest in your product and I hope it is very successful!

NDMP performance
by Dianna Mullet 09 Apr '01

09 Apr '01

Is there anyone out there who backs up a filer directly to DLT via NDMP? I've seen a demo of an F740 backing up directly to a DLT 7000 and the throughput peaked at around 8MB/sec. I'd like to know actual vs. theoretical throughput for the same configuration, but with a DLT 4000. Thanks, Dianna
