Just so you know, licenses can be purchased from Netapp, but not cheaply. Also try contacting Union Computer Exchange, you may be able to find a licensed unit (of the same type as your current one) and use your current one as spares for the licensed unit. <scw>

is it licensed? without an nfs or cifs license, your not going to be able to export anything or make any available shares.

type 'license' on the console to see

We have just received in donation a couple of FC9 shelves.

I found a F720 on ebay for cheap and now I am attempting to start the things.

I have got the units attached via the FC cable and booted to the 2 floppy disks provided but I can not seem to attach to the hidden share from my windows PC or mount the file system from a linux box. Am I missing something vital.

I have also received all sorts of documentation that appears to be no help.

thanks in advance, Basil Istwany
