RE: Filer Serial Connectivity
by Mike Sphar 02 Apr '01

02 Apr '01

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.

What are these files in /etc/oldmaps?
by Chris Thompson 02 Apr '01

02 Apr '01

We upgraded one of our F740's from 5.3.7R1 to 6.0.1R3 a week ago. It went very smoothly, but there are a few things still puzzling me. Here is one of them... Every time a dump command is run, at completion a new file appears in the filer's /etc, with a name like /etc/oldmaps/bkp/A_home1/3abbe75d | | | \ This is the time(2) of the dump in hex | \ This is the "n" key from the dump command Peeking at /etc/tmp while dump is running, and comparing inode numbers, it seems that these files are what was /etc/tmp/dump_all.bitmap.[n]. (There are several other files in /etc/tmp, but this seems to be the only one that is saved.) Its size appears to be 1 bit per inode in the volume being dumped, plus a little. Are these files going to accumulate for ever? None have disappeared as yet, but maybe they will in due course... And what is their purpose in life?

RE: Maximum number of inodes

So far, no problems, but I am not quite at the 200M mark. mailnfs1> maxfiles Volume vol1: maximum number of files is currently 150937460 (38104458 used). Volume vol0: maximum number of files is currently 150937460 (32242112 used). mailnfs1> - Nick Steel Sr Operations Engineer v. 805.418.2248 e. nsteel(a)corp.netzero.net -----Original Message----- From: Tom "Mad Dog" Yergeau [mailto:MadDog@fool.com] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2001 1:34 PM To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: Maximum number of inodes 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!

Question re: Unisys drives and qual_devices
by Avi Freedman 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

Hi... I'm working with a Unisys chassis and some Unisys drives. It recognizes the drives, configures them, compains about "No SCSI-3 Enclosure Services on host adapter 8 shelf 1" (the Unisys shelf). Then it comes up and shuts down. The drives that aren't liked are: 8.11: UNISYS 007114ST39102FC A921 So I added: D UNISYS 007114ST39102FC A921 To the end of my qual_devices, but the filer still shuts down if it sees the drives. Any ideas? Thanks, Avi

New ndmp-users discussion list & a refreshed NDMP.org website
by Melvin, Grant 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

Hi, From a toasters e-mail a long long time ago: > Is there a mailing-list for this sort of discussion? > I'm looking for one, either Budtool specific or UNIX/NT > generic (@ enterprise level). Its been a long time coming, but we eventually got a ndmp users forum on the newly cleaned up www.ndmp.org website at: http://www.ndmp.org/info/discussion.shtml ndmp-users(a)ndmp.org - This discussion group is for NDMP users, that are using NDMP-compliant products, to participate in any technical or non-technical discussions related to NDMP and NAS backup, as well as to share experiences with other NDMP users. You have all seen NDMP e-mail on toasters and we see some on the VERITAS NetBackup e-mail list at: Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu(a)mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu Now you get to air your views direct to NDMP.org. Cheers, Grant
