RE: MS Exchange on Netapps
by Morgan, Joshua 19 Mar '01

We are currently running Exchange with our Databases located on an F760 we also use Snapshots to do backups -----Original Message----- From: Jennifer Armenta [mailto:ArmentaJ@mascorp.com] Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 2:30 PM To: 'Mike Sphar'; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: MS Exchange on Netapps Yes my point exactly, MS is protecting themselves. Is anyone running Exchange with/without issues. As for Oracle on NetApp I heard it doesn't like high transaction dbases. What is the ideal place for Exchange dbase ?(my bet EMC since that pretty close to have local disk) -----Original Message----- From: Mike Sphar [mailto:mikey@Remedy.COM] Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 11:21 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: MS Exchange on Netapps My thoughts are that any article that refers to gigabit Ethernet as an "emerging technology" is highly suspect.

Oracle DBs on a filer
by Jennifer Armenta 19 Mar '01

19 Mar '01

I was told recently from some who has worked with Netapp & Oracle implementations - it works real well for NON-transaction oriented databases. So things like Decision support, data warehouses, or reporting databases - it works well. In fact NetApp comes right out and says that they don't recommend using their box in OLTP configurations. The biggest reason is that OLTP database tend to be lots of little transactions and since you are using NFS (relatively big transactions) you won't get the performance gains as you would with a DSS config. Does anyone have experience with running Oracle with mass transactions that could help me (EMC vs' NetApps)

RE: Permanent Visible Drive Mapping From NT
by Witham, John 16 Mar '01

16 Mar '01

Hi Martin: We use autoexec.nt in a large amount of installed servers, and have had no problems. You might want to make sure the AutoExNT service is starting as a Domain account that has access to the share on the filer. If you want, I could share some of our documentation/scripts with you. Cheers! -john -----Original Message----- From: Martin Hughes [mailto:Martin.Hughes@Halliburton.com] Sent: Friday, March 16, 2001 8:54 AM To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: Permanent Visible Drive Mapping From NT Good morning, all, I have a small problem (ignoring the larger and more visible ones). We would like to use our F840C as straight disk for some webservers. In order for the programs to register .dlls etc correctly, we need to have a permanent mapping on the machine for both the service account that we boot the machine on and anyone attaching to the machine through terminal server (ie like the C:\ or D:\ drives). We have tried using Autoexec.nt to create a batch file that runs 'net use etc etc' but when we do this the drive mapped is not visible to anyone logging in and you can remap the drive letter without getting an error/warning message. Is anyone else using the filer in the same manner and how did you get around this? We're thinking of using an NT group and forcing a drive mapping every time someone logs into it but this seems a bit heavy handed. All hints and tips gratefully appreciated.

SSH (Secure Admin)

I was wondering if anyone here is using the "Secure Admin" on the NetApp boxes ? If so, could you let me know if it is a "standard SSH server" that support scp also ? Thanks

HP-UX K-Class Gigabit Ethernet issues?
by Witham, John 15 Mar '01

15 Mar '01

Hi All: This may be slightly off subject, but we're migrating a large amount of data on an HP K580 (800GB) from an EMC Symmetrix 3930 to (2) F840s using Gigabit Ethernet. Initial Oracle testing is putting the 840 at 4x slower than the Sym we migrated from. We're 95% sure it's Gig-E related. We've been going through patch Hell, and I don't want to reinvent the wheel here. Is anyone on this list successfully using a K580 on HP-UX 11.0 with Gig-E? If so, can I PLEASE ask you to share your patch levels/parameter tweaks? TIA! John Witham Sr. Data Networking Engineer Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc.
