Re: FW: 2 q's - quotas and tape drives

Hi, Is it true that Oracle's Recovery Manager (RMAN) doesn't work with Netapp? kind regards, Ivan ---- Ivan Saez Scheihing , Eindhoven University of Technology SFI/Systeemhuis BG 2.19 tel. 040-2475044 P.O.Box 513, 5600 MB Eindhoven, The Netherlands E-Mail: i.a.saez.scheihing(a)tue.nl

Russ, You'll need to send an email to "majordomo(a)mathworks.com" and put the words "subscribe toasters" in the text. The process is similar if you want to join the "emcnas" list.

RE: Anitvirus on netapp
by Jonathan Dodman 31 Jan '01

We have two F760's which have an NT4 janitor box, running Netshield 4.5. We have set Netshield up to carry out scheduled scans of the volumes on a daily basis (set up admin shares on the filers for each volume). We have also throttled the scans to low priority, so that they do not interfere with the performance of the filers. This works fine, but only if a small ammount of data is on the filers (We have about 300GB), as this provides enough time for the scans to complete within a 24 hour period. On access scanning is the main bugbear, as our users work on Citrix Metaframe on Windows 2000 Terminal servers, which does not support on access virus scanning !! Does anybody else know of a way around this ?

We use Trend Micro's OfficeScan from a Windows 2000 Pro desktop. I've written a batch file and scheduled it to run every night. I would feel more comfortable with a real-time scanning solution, so I am working with Trend to get my hands on a beta of the product that they have designed for NetApp filers. Here is the batch file if anyone is interested. net use w: \\%servername%\d$ <file://\\%servername%\d$> c:\progra~1\office~1\pcscan.exe w: /a /nm /c /zc /r=w:\ net use w: /delete Best Regards, Josh Gifford Windows NT/2000 System Engineer Siemens Power Transmission & Distribution 7000 Siemens Rd Wendell, NC 27591 Phone: (919) 365-2806; Fax: (919) 365-1080 Email: josh.gifford(a)ptd.siemens.com -----Original Message----- From: Goebel, Uwe [mailto:uwe_goebel@mentorg.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2001 2:53 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Anitvirus on netapp Hi there, I'm curious how everybody is checking against viruses at the filers.

Backup Solution
by Mike Horn 31 Jan '01

31 Jan '01

I have a f740 filer currently being backed up with one DLT7000 tape drive. I'm tired of switching tapes. Does anyone have any experience with either "Sync Sort or Workstation Solutions" as the software to backup a filer? I am looking to use Spectra Logic products on the hardware side. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Michael A. Horn Associate Geophysicist Chesapeake Energy Corporation 6106 N. Western Avenue P.O.

RE: Virus scans on NetApps and backups
by Coder, James (STP) 31 Jan '01

We had this problem until recently - NetApp was helpful in supplying a solution. The virus software we use cased the ctime to be changed and when using NDMP the it took it as a changed file. Run the following command on your filer and see if this helps. It did us. ndmpd ignore_ctime This was for our 760 NT filer with the NetBackup backup app. Prior to this, we were backing up every file the scan touched at night (about 20% of 1.2 TB). The only place we could find a reference to the command was in a white paper. James C.
