RE: Win2k and the Filer
by Yoder, Alan 03 Apr '01

Sorry, I misunderstood. NTFS is Microsoft's proprietary filesystem. NetApp has no plans to replicate it. We do have an add-on product called SnapMirror(tm) which I think might do what you want. Your sales rep should be able to help you with this. I'm not an NDMP dude, so I don't know, but perhaps others on this list can tell you whether scripts and ndmpcopy are also an alternative.

Maximum number of inodes
by Tom "Mad Dog" Yergeau 03 Apr '01

03 Apr '01

Hi, I know filers by default won't get a volume more than, say, 33 million inodes, and that the general formula for determining the number of inodes is (volume size in kilobytes) / 32 kb = #of inodes. But, does anyone know if there is a maximum number of inodes? Does anyone out there have volumes with over 200 million inodes and have you seen any issues with those types of volumes? We've got an application that's generating about 5-10 million inodes a month (don't ask) and I'm concerned about that. Will this be a problem? Thanks! Tom

Here is why I am asking DFS in Windows 2000 and Automatic replication Per Microsoft's Doc's you have to be running NTFS 5 on the DFS link for Automatic replication Basically we have a Pair of 760's that I would like to point some DFS links at, and have them replicate to remote sights during off hours. -----Original Message----- From: Morgan, Joshua [mailto:JMorgan@nuvox.com] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2001 5:18 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Win2k and the Filer Any word on when the filer will support NTFS 5?

No, FilerView does not require Windows. Through 5.x FilerView is applet based. It should, as you say, work on any java-compliant browser. In practice it displays somewhat more consistently on Windows boxes (relative to *nix say) due to font mapping issues. Starting in 6.x we've been phasing out some of the applets in favor of HTML and some Javascript. Recent IE and Netscape versions should work ok, though, if not please let us know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- steve klinkner klink(a)netapp.com

Data ONTAP 6.1 supports Windows 2000 Authentication via Kerberos, plus the things, such as Share publication and Access Control, that worked under NT 4.0.

Well, most PC hardware vendors offer remote access cards of some type. Compaq offers something like that (Remote Insight, I think it's called), for example. I don't admin the windows stuff myself, but that's what our Windows admins use for that sort of thing. Also, it's not out yet, but Raritan's TeleReach box may become very handy for that sort of thing. We currently use Raritan's Paragon switches to get consoles for a large host of platforms: Sun, IBM, HP, SGI, PC, Netapp, etc. It's nice to have a single console switch that controls all of our devices, rather than one device for the UNIX consoles, another device for the PC consoles, etc. My goal is that when an engineer walks into one of our labs, he can sit at any console to control any machine. (It's also nice to access each platform through its native console. Figuring out the serial pinouts for each vendor can be quite the pain.) If the TeleReach service works as advertised, it would make everything on the Paragon switch available over IP. Unfortunately, it sounds like it will utilize a proprietary windows-based client. Also how good the performance is remains to be seen. It's a step in the right direction though, I think. As for FilerView, I use it a lot and like it, but in a serious downtime situation, you may a) have problems with the network in the first place which would make FilerView useless, and b) you're probably in a hurry and while I like Filerview it is a bit slow to load. Certain things are just much faster to do via the console. -- Mike Sphar - Sr Systems Administrator - Engineering Support Services - Remedy Corporation BOFH, GWP, MCP, MCP+I, MCSE, BFD -----Original Message----- From: Metzinger Zach [mailto:ZMetzinger@WhiteRockNetworks.com] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2001 12:24 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Filer Serial Connectivity On Mon, Apr 02, 2001 at 12:01:43PM -0700, Chris Lamb wrote: > Some of us old die-hard command-line guys have never used FilerView.

Gotta feel sorry for those Windows admins who actually have to show up in a machine room at 2am to fix something. :) Zach Metzinger UNIX System Administrator White Rock Networks
