(I'm assuming this mailing list is still active.)
As an ice-breaker (teaser?), I thought I would share a useful hidden command that is present in NetApp Release 4.1d (and probably most others). It isn't listed in any online help (well, that's almost true) or documented anywhere, but you can use it anytime on the console. Note: I found this command on my own (i.e., it was not disclosed to me by NetApp).
hostname> help mv rename files hostname> mv usage: mv file1 file2 hostname> mv /test1 /test2
I'd like to see more information and discussion on this mailing list:
- problems you have experienced - any diagnostic utilities - undocumented commands - backup systems, experiences, etc. - Your experiences with other vendors (Auspex, Falcon, etc.) (positive or negative) - experiences with different NetApp models - using NetApps in growing or rapidly changing environments (for example, problems with having to move trees of data around often) - using more than a few NetApps - using one NetApp from multiple buildings (switching, routing, etc.) - performance tips, techniques, advice - and so on...
I'll be making more postings in the not-too-distant future. Hopefully, things will pick-up a bit.
