Netapp.pl snapmirror rules howto ?
by heino.walther＠proact.dk 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hi there I'm trying to tweak the netapp.pl ext-script to accommodate snapmirror rules, and I ran into a problem... In the netapp.ini file there are some descriptions about how to define your own rules, but I keep getting errors when I try to define my own. Just to check that I have understood it correct, you are supposed to make a line called: Rule1=source:destination:...etc.. And then a line where you use the rule you defined. Snapmirrorcheck=Rule1 The problem is that I have some specific snapmirrors which I would like to ignore, and others which I would like to monitor normally... Example: SourceFiler:volume DestinationFiler:volume When you define a rule, the separator is ":" which is also a part of the source and destination... are you able to escape this like this: Rule1=SourceFiler\:volume:DestinationFiler\:volume:options:etc.... I think an example from someone who uses this would be the best help for me ;-) I hope someone uses this somewhat old script :) /Heino

A better suggestion might be to try out the 4.2.2-RC1 code which is now on sourceforge.

bbtest yellow - PING test results sent unacceptably high
by john＠sackheads.org 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

bbtest has been yellow for the last week. I'm wondering if anyone has an idea what might be causing this? I'm using hobbitping. I've tried bumping concurrency up with no luck... but given that the increase in time is in "PING test results sent", I'm not sure that's the right move.

Hello Hobbit! Where can I find the allinone patch? I am trying to implement iostat graph. I see that new release is about to launch, is there any utility added for iostat? Thank you. -- Shailesh K. Paudyal shailesh.paudyal at gmail.com

Hi, I want to use trimhistory (Solaris 9, hobbit-4.2.0) and have an error: trimhistory --cutoff=`/opt/sfw/bin/gdate +%s --date="1 Jan 2007"` 2008-11-26 09:19:49 Cannot cd to history directory: No such file or directory history (hist, histlogs, history.log) are in directory "data" which is a link to the raid: ~hobbit./hobbit-4.2.0/data -> /raid0/log/.../hobbit/data.

However the setup has been altered and currently there is no forwarding to main Hobbit planned anymore. Thanks for your response. I keep it in mind in case I have to configure a similar setup again.

Route Question
by geoff.hallford＠gmail.com 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hi All, Does anyone know if the route tag in bb-hosts "chains"? I am trying to configure the route dependencies the best way possible. Would this work? Example: ----------------------------- Host is HostA and the path to HostA is RTR1,STCH2,RTR3. bb-hosts Example (What I want to do): ----------------------------- 10.20.20.21 HOBBIT 10.20.20.20 RTR1 10.30.30.30 SWCH2 route:RTR1 10.40.40.40 RTR3 route:SWCH2 10.40.40.41 HostA route:RTR3 So that if say SWCH2 goes down, I won't get alerts for RTR3 or HostA (because the dependency "chains" from RTR3, to SWCH2 .... OR, do I have to do it like the following (whole path, each time): bb-hosts Example (What I don't really want to do but should work no matter what): ----------------------------- 10.20.20.21 HOBBIT 10.20.20.20 RTR1 10.30.30.30 SWCH2 route:RTR1 10.40.40.40 RTR3 route:RTR1,SWCH2 10.40.40.41 HostA route:RTR1,SWCH2,RTR3 Thanks! I don't have a test network device to try this, which is why I am asking. Geoff Hallford 'Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.' --Yogi Berra

snapshot 2008-11-14 zlib version is too old
by martin.flemming＠desy.de 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hi ! Have i got something forgotten or not observed .. With the new snapshot's i can't compile it under Scientific Linux 4 (RHEL4) ... with an old snapshot from April it works ... checking for zlib ... Found ZLIB include files in /usr/include Found ZLIB libraries in /usr/lib zlib version 1.2.1.2 Your zlib version is too old, requires version 1.2.3 or later ZLIB version too old, must be at least version 1.2.x ... i remember a problem from September Subject :Latest stable snapshot? And the last answer was from Henry > In /usr/include/zlib.h add the following to the #include's: > > # define ZLIB_VER_MAJOR 1 > # define ZLIB_VER_MINOR 2 > >Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 11:48:08 +0000 (UTC) >From: Henrik Stoerner <henrik at hswn.dk> >Reply-To: hobbit at hswn.dk >To: hobbit at hswn.dk >Newsgroups: lists.hobbit >Subject: Re: [hobbit] Latest stable snapshot? > >The ZLIB_VER_MAJOR/MINOR macros apparently are a Linux- or >Debian-addition. >I've updated the test-zlib.c module to use the standard ZLIB_VERNUM macro >instead. So it should work now with a standard zlib installation. .. with Scientific Linux 5 (RHEL5) it works ... .. is it my personal problem ? cheers, Martin

Memory and CPU usage by a process
by vadud3＠gmail.com 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Anyone worked on collecting data and generating rrd and graph for a particular process? I am trying to collect it for all the java processes on one system, which is easy for solaris, and then generate rrd and create graph. With little perl scripts, as provided in rrdtool website, I can generate the rrds as well using the data but how do I tell hobbit server to do the graph? I want to do it all in the server may be by modifying the `ps' script on the client to show the `RSS' column Thanks -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu
