Is anyone using the Dump program that comes with Ontap? I have seen a lot of third party stuff and am wondering if anyone has seen any short falls in using this Ontap backup program? Jim Collins

We're currently backing the filer up over NFS from a Unix host. Works fine, basically, but it stresses the network a bit. (100 Mbps full duplex) In the near future we're probably moving to Networker 6.0, which can back the filer up directly via NDMP, and we'll possibly set up a dedicated net between the backup server and the filer for the backups. -- Leif Nixon Sysadm/developer Ericsson SoftLab AB ---------------------------------------------------------- E-mail: nixon(a)softlab.ericsson.se Phone: +46 13 23 57 61 ----------------------------------------------------------

need help with Legato and Filer backup
by Dell, Mary 19 Dec '00

19 Dec '00

Is anyone out there using legato to back up your filer? We just got our filer running and are not able to get legato working for it yet despite help from support and so on. We've got the client installed on the filer, we've created a client & group setup for it on the (unix) networker server, and we've got the (eval) enabler--but it keeps failing. Any ideas or suggestions would be a big help. Thanks, Mary Dell

hi, i would like to know how to find the blocking factor of a volume and what is the default size and can we modify them as we do with our unix box (newfs). i know we can increase the inode on the fly (very cool). tq, --fared __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: DLT8000

Mike, the DLT8000 is not supported in native mode until DataOnTap version 6.0. You will have to use the /etc/cloned_tapes file and add an entry that says: QUANTUM DLT8000 EMULATES QUANTUM DLT7000 Please be aware that this means you will only be able to get DLT7000 capacity on your 8000 drive. On our NOW web site at the following URL you can see all of the supported drives and the DataONTAP versions at which they are supported. http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/olio/cert_matrices/tape_drives.shtm l -----Original Message----- From: Mike Horwath [mailto:drechsau@tiny.net] Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 3:08 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: DLT8000 I have a NetApp F760 and I want to use a DLT8000 on it.

Using Data ONTAP 5.1's "cloned_tapes" for Unsupported Tape Drives You can attach an "unsupported" tape drive to a filer and use it successfully with the cloned_tapes feature, new in Data ONTAP 5.1. To use an "unsupported" tape backup device, the ASCII file /etc/cloned_tapes in the root volume must contain a list of unsupported tape backup devices connected to the filer. To enable this option, do the following: 1.Halt the filer and install the tape adapter (if necessary). 2.Attach the tape drive to the filer and power up the drive. 3.Power up the filer. At boot, there will be an error message telling you the tape drive is unsupported. 4.At the filer console, type mt -f rst0a status. This command will create the file /etc/cloned_tapes. 5.Edit the /etc/cloned_tapes file to map the product ID of the unsupported drive to one that is supported. For example, you can add to this file the following line: QUANTUM DLT8000 EMULATES QUANTUM DLT7000 6.At the filer console, type mt -f rst0a status again. 7.Type sysconfig -t to verify that the drive appears, along with all your previously installed devices. 8.Reboot the filer. Note: At boot, you will still receive an error message about an unsupported tape drive, but the officially "unsupported" tape drive will work successfully. For more information, see the "New features in Data ONTAP 5.1" section of the Data ONTAP 5.1 Release Notes.

Filers, IIS5 and Pass-Through Authentication
by Benn, Paul 15 Dec '00

15 Dec '00

Hello Toaster People, I had been working with a few of you on how to configure IIS5 with filers for pass-through authentication. The necessary steps along with a number of other updates have been incorporated into an updated white paper on IIS. The URL hasn't changed but here it is for convenience: http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3078.html Thanks to those of you who sent me your comments on the original paper. I ended up making all of the suggested changes. Best Regards, Paul Benn Network Appliance
