syslog appliance avail ??
by Colin Johnston 27 Oct '00

27 Oct '00

Hi, please ignore my email if you think not relevent to the toasters or cache email lists Does anyone know of a 'syslog' applicance box that has a nice management interface to system, has a nice archival system for old logs and can cope with large amounts of file store for old logs. I am well aware this can be done with unix boxs etc and raid arrays but it seems since syslog is a single function the applicance route map maybe the bext method of progression. a newreader functionality to read the syslog store would be useful as well. storage of cache logs via ftp would be useful as well. storage of archival system email would also be useful. I am happy to beta test any such appliance and give feedback to the supplier. Colin Johnston SAEU PSINET UK

mount: RPC: Authentication error; why = Client credential too wea k
by Rainchik, Aleksandr (MED, Non GE) 27 Oct '00

Hello, From what I've found, NetApp filer will refuse mount requests if the source port of that request is less than 1024, or "unprivileged". The problem we have right now is accessing NetApp trough the firewall. So we have a couple of NetApps and Sun servers that are behind port-mapping firewall. I can mount everything from Sun, but when we are trying to mount something from netapp, I get this error message on a client client% mount netapp1:/some_dir mount: RPC: Authentication error; why = Client credential too weak With tcpdump I see how mount requests from client (client.678 -> netap1.sunrpc)are being translated on firewall: firewall1.61128 -> netap1.sunrpc My question is, if there is a way to put netapp in a less secure mode, to allow mount requests from unprivileged ports? Thank you

Hi, I downloaded the filer mrtg and have been able to get it running on my 840. What I have discovered is that the disk usage is not showing. Anyone have any pointers what the problem might be? Thanks

The "transparent" option was added in MRTG 2.7.1 (according to the CHANGES file in the latest version of MRTG). The version of MRTG included in the NOW download package (which combines MRTG with some Filer-specific configuration things) is older than that, so that explains why it doesn't recognize "transparent". Regarding the disk usage problem, I just tried the NOW version of MRTG with the latest version of ONTAP, and didn't see any problem with the disk usage. Please send me additional details on your setup (exact version of ONTAP, any customizations you've made to the MRTG package), and I'll look into it further. ...Tim Thompson...Network Appliance, Inc... -----Original Message----- From: Manny Kaiser [mailto:mkaiser@mmcnet.com] Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2000 6:27 AM To: Mike Knell Cc: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: mrtg I get an error message when I add "tranparent" to the options line Mike Knell wrote: > > I downloaded the filer mrtg and have been able to get it running on my > > 840. > > What I have discovered is that the disk usage is not showing. > > I seem to remember having to do a bit of fiddling with the mrtg stuff > to get it working properly.

Here are two articles that will allow you to diagnose security problems: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/olio/guides/53_troubleshooting/ts2… l http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/olio/guides/53_troubleshooting/ts1… l This is a more detailed article on the security model http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/olio/guides/53_troubleshooting/con… .shtml If the answer does not fall out of the above troubleshooters (or you need access to NOW), please contact customer support. I would suggest having the qtree type, the output of wcc -u root, and the reported ACL for the directory you are trying to write to available when you call. You should also report the version of the filer and the version of the client. They should be able to solve this very quickly. mailto: hawleyr(a)netapp.com US Mail: Network Appliance Inc.

Home directory vs. any other directory
by Maglinger, Paul 25 Oct '00

Why is it that both Unix and WindowsNT clients can read and write to the Home directory and not to qtrees created by us unless you set up mapping? What is the difference in permissions and can the Home Have a prosperous and profitable day! _____ Paul Maglinger, A+, CA, CET, MCP PC Specialist Shoe Carnival Inc.

BACKUP "APPLIANCE"
by Joe Luchtenberg 25 Oct '00

25 Oct '00

The "appliance" term is so overused now, so please grant a little leniency on this one... Is anyone out there using a backup "appliance" to run NDMP-compliant software, such as Veritas or CommVault? I know there are new hardware "appliance" manufacturers springing up almost daily, and some of them are venturing into tuned boxes for specific applications, like e-mail or backup. Am interested in: - rack-mountable, small form factor (1U or 2U) - easy implementation - reliability - ease of administration - low initial cost/TCO - viability of manufacturer (can they support their product? are they going to be there to continue to support it in 3+ years?) Would prefer NT/W2K/W2K Adv Srvr OS, but any Unix/Linux-based product would be okay, too. Also, want to stick with Veritas or CommVault, unless there is some compelling reason to consider another. TIA. Joe Joe Luchtenberg Dataline, Inc. New number and email, please update: 757.858.0600 858.0606 fax joe.luchtenberg(a)data-line.com
