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

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

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.

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.

Don't let the LTO manufactures hear you say that. With different driver support, media, ISV certification requirements and specifications that are anything but similar to DLT, the only common item these formats share is that they are 'linear' tape formats. NetApp will be supporting LTO in the late summer/early fall timeframe.

Most LTO equipment is identical to DLT equipment, only with a different tape drive. In this respect, the LTO drives will perform identically, or so I'd like to think. ;) Please let me know if I'm wrong here. - ryan

But avrd polls all UP and free devices every 15 seconds or so and not having a NDMP tape mounted results in NDMP_IO_ERR for that. To get more info in there you need a numeric value in the file /usr/openv/volmgr/database/ndmp_debug If you use 65535 it will fill your disk quickly with lots of stuff you aren't interested in. (Not to mention slow things down.) The value is actually a mask constructed of the bits defined in the ndmp.org SDK. I have never tried it but you might get a value of 8192 to put log entries in there without adding a lot of other stuff. If it doesn't do that... like I said, this is an undocumented/unsupported log :) __________________________________________________________________________ Steve Kappel steve.kappel(a)veritas.com VERITAS Software steve.kappel(a)iname.com (Personal)

Moshe, The LTO technology promises performance of up to 30Mb/s with 2:1 compression. This performance far exceeds DLTs, SDLT, ATI-2 and 9840s. The form factor for LTO (Ultrium) is different for today's tape drives. It may be some time before library vendors integrate the LTO technology into their products.

LTO support?
by Moshe Linzer 12 Mar '01

12 Mar '01

Does anyone know when LTO will be supported on the filer? I have two 760's, and we are shopping around for a backup library. I am hesitant to go with LTO at this point, but management likes the numbers. Can anyone share experience or opinions on LTO drives or libraries? Thanks, Moshe
