non-LVD Differential SCSI card for F7xx
by Rob Windsor 14 Mar '01

14 Mar '01

We've been told buy our sales rep that NetApp doesn't sell non-LVD PCI Differential-SCSI cards. Is this true? If so, it is *really* going to cramp our style. :P Rob++ ---------------------------------------- Rob Windsor E-Mail - mailto:rob_windsor@adc.com Senior Unix Systems Administrator Voice - phone:972-680-6919 Computer Services Fax - phone:972-680-0370 Broadband Access and Transport Group __o ADC Telecommunications _`\<,_ Richardson, TX 75082 (_)/ (_)

RE: Tape autoloader with F760
by Cormier, Darleen 14 Mar '01

There is no command to rescan the SCSI bus, so yes, you will have to reboot the filer. Please be sure that the drives in the library are supported in the version of DataONTAP you are using. -----Original Message----- From: netapp-list [mailto:netapp-list@tiscali.be] Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2001 8:37 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Tape autoloader with F760 Hi all, I would like to use a Hexabyte 17D autoloader on F760 Cluster, but I don't know how to make it detected by the filer. Is there a command to rescan the SCSI bus or does I've to reboot the filer ? Thanks.

NFS version 4
by Chris Thompson 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

Now that NFS version 4 has got as far as a complete specification in an RFC (RFC 3010, December 2000), would it be too much like tweaking the Devil's tail to inquire about NetApp's plans with respect to it? I can't find anything on NOW, but perhaps I shouldn't expect to... Of course, we are probably still years away from usable client implementations.

RE: Multiple Oracle DBs on a filer
by George Kahler 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

I would like to express my thanks to all of the people that have responded to my Oracle query and have showed me the way ... :-) I was not aware of the Oracle SID which makes things much more easier to implement. As many of you mentioned it looks like I only need one oracle account on each server I want Oracle to run on and then 'share' this account amongst all of the database instances setting the proper environment based on the SID. Many thanks, George

Legato/NetApp/NDMP/restore woes
by jlbreyfo＠collins.rockwell.com 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

Toasters, I'm new to the group and don't know about archives and such. Please excuse if this is an old question. Is anybody backing up using Legato 6.0.1 patch 1 (approx. 300GB vols) and ndmp. I have sporadic problems backing up, actually finishing the index - backup works fine; and also have problems restoring files, i.e. I have to relocate a selected file with a path like: filername::/vol/user1/username/restored/. Seems a bit hokey to me and I get no good info from Legato. I would love to discuss my problems and your solutions. Thanks in advance John Breyfogle Unix Admin Rockwell-Collins jlbreyfo(a)collins.rockwell.com

RE: F740 with F760 spare
by Clawson, Simon 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

I am told that the footprint is different. This stops resourceful people buying a 760 spares kit and upgrading thier cheaper 740. But I am not sure about any of the other parts. I had a Unisys engineer here once who fitted 700 series Eth. Adpators to a 500..it did'nt work, but the machine did'nt blow up either ;-) Simon > -----Original Message----- > From: max chan [mailto:maxchan0@yahoo.com] > Sent: Tuesday March 2001 03:34 > To: toasters(a)mathworks.com > Subject: F740 with F760 spare > > > Did anyone try to put F760 spare in F740? > > Max > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo!

RE: LTO support?
by Joe Luchtenberg 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

I think what Ryan was referring to was much more superficial than you are describing. And I've heard the same thing -- i.e. LTO2 and DLT drives share the same form factor, drive cages, cabling/ports, media form factor, etc. All in pointed contrast to AIT2. Although not as significant as MTBF or product maturity, these are nonetheless not trivial issues. Joe Joe Luchtenberg Dataline, Inc.

RE: LTO support?

I already have 1 vendor willing to admit that they have a library that can either be pure LTO or else 1/2 LTO, 1/2 SDLT (heding their bets). I believe that they are actually already taking orders and supposedly shipping these units. In no way should you take this as a testimonial, but here is the info: Overland Data www.overlanddata.com Steve Vawter voice: 408-490-5310 fax: 408-490-8615 Staff UNIX Systems Administrator Steve.Vawter(a)C-Cube.COM --> --> From Michael.Collie(a)netapp.com Mon Mar 12 15:06:31 2001 --> From: "Collie, Michael" <Michael.Collie(a)netapp.com> --> To: Moshe Linzer <Moshe.Linzer(a)nsc.com> --> Cc: "'ryanb'" <ryanb(a)enteract.com>, toasters(a)mathworks.com --> Subject: RE: LTO support? --> X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) --> --> Moshe, --> --> The LTO technology promises performance of up to 30Mb/s with 2:1 --> compression.
