Hi,
I've got an environment of 30+ controllers, some with NFS licensed and some without, but all with CIFS. I'm trying to figure out a way to push drive qual files (and eventually the firmware files) to all the controllers without going one-at-a-time (batch vs. by hand). 30+ means I can't mount them all via CIFS at the same time, and with half of them without NFS licensed I can't mount them via NFS to, say, a linux host. I was looking into using DFM to push the files to all the controllers, but it doesn't seem to work with anything but the config files it can pull off the controllers first.
Anyone have a favorite method?
An option would be to turn on ftp or tftp

That's a good idea. What I would do in this situation, from a secure linux admin server something like this...
for i in {1..30};do mkdir -p /data/filer$i/vol0; sudo mount -t cifs //filer$i/c$ /data/filer$i/vol0/ -o pass=pass,user=aduser;cp /tmp/qual_devices /data/filer$i/vol0/etc/;sudo umount /data/filer$i/vol0/ ; done

You can do this similarly with cifs and unc's. I assume the significance of 30+ is due to drive mappings? Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Correct. Not enough letters in the alphabet and my dfm host is win2008, although I cheated a bit by installing Cygwin and associated sshd service.

I like this. I might just install VirualBox and bring up a CentOS vm just so I can do this.
I miss my old linux DFM/admin host.

in Windows 2008, look at mlink, you can mount the CIFS shares to a file-system path and not worry about drive letter counts.

Hi Scott,
If you set up public key access for ssh (no password prompt) then you could do this from a Unix host for each filer:
ssh root@filername 'wrfile /vol/vol0/etc/...' < filename
You could put the filer hostnames in a file called "filers" one per line and do it all with this command:
for filer in `cat filers`; do ssh root@$filer 'wrfile /vol/vol0/etc/...' < filename done
Or perhaps a better approach would be to put the install package on the web and do this:
for filer in `cat filers`; do ssh root@$filer 'software install http://webhost/file' done
