<br>I&#39;m accustomed to administering netapps on a Unix box that<br>NFS mounts the root volume and has rsh and/or ssh access<br>to root.&nbsp;&nbsp;I&#39;ve always used the command line since we got<br>our first filer in 1997 before the GUI came out.
<br><br>We are buying two FAS270s to be placed in two separate locations<br>for disaster recovery.&nbsp;&nbsp;Each filer will store FC LUNs that will be<br>used by a Windows server in each location.&nbsp;&nbsp;One location is<br>primary and the other is standby in case we lose the primary.
<br><br>We will replicate data from the primary filer to the secondary<br>with snapmirror (and also snapdrive I suppose).<br><br>I am in neither of these locations and each location will be<br>behind its own firewall (oh joy).&nbsp;&nbsp;Obviously the filers will
<br>need to talk to each other for snapmirror.<br><br>Since these filers are FC SAN only, we would prefer to not spring<br>for NFS licenses just for my convenience.<br><br>I would be interested to know if there are any other Unix folks
<br>out there who admin filers without NFS access.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think that<br>all filers come with a mini CIFS license (only one CIFS session?)<br>and I guess I could use smbmount on my Linux box to access the<br>root volume.&nbsp;&nbsp;I wish filers also had a mini NFS license for admin.
<br><br>As for installing DOT, isn&#39;t there a way to put the software<br>distribution file on a httpd server and point the filer at it?<br>I have always used the install_netapp script and the compressed<br>tar file.<br>
<br>I don&#39;t know what sort of holes I can get punched in the firewall.<br>I may need to use a VPN client (yuck).<br><br>Is anyone else out there in a similar situation?<br><br>Steve Losen&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="mailto:scl@virginia.edu">
