using red hat for netapp 5300 1

[blade10]

All-

I can sign on to root but what command can I use to see what my cpu and drive utilization is.

I've heard that TOP identifies cpu util, are there any other comands to check other resources?

thanks

blade

thx zeland,

I was wondering if you can help me with this one, since this is linux oriented...

I created a 100gb lun, and mounted the volume.. I then installed iSCSI initiator on my Window 2003 server and setup the ip for it, the discovery, target and the device/mount info pertained in the iSCSI initiator file... I also installed Snap Manager/Mirror as directed by IBM Support .. no problem so far.. at this point my question is -how will Windows see this 100gb space? in disk management do I need to run diskpart and massage this 100gb space so that it becomes native looking storage? or will it just allow it as basic disk space in disk management because of the use of iSCSI?

any thoughts on this would be so appreciated

blade, this is not Linux oriented but I'll answer as best as I can. Once you have defined your LUN on the Netapp and assuming you have configured your iSCSI setup accordingly on Windows, you should be able to see the LUN as another un-formatted disk in the disk administrator tool (or in diskpart). If you are still having issues, re-start the thread under the Windows 2003 forum

thanks itsp1965,

I got it working and went smoother than I anticipated!

Thanks again

Do you have the igroup created with the correct type. If it is Windows then the igroup must be windows. You must include the iqn from the microsoft iscsi initiator. You also need to make sure that when the lun is created that the OS type is windows. This is only when you create the lun to align with the windows starting offset. I would run the following command. iscsi initiator show to see if the windows client is logged in.

Next on the Windows server you will need to make sure that you setup the ip address of the Netapp system in the target properties of the iscsi initiator. After this then make sure you log on to the target. You can then issue a disk rescan from disk management.

I hope this helps

Thank ecunupe,

I appreciate your detailed information!

yes, I followed these steps to the letter, but here is a star for helping..

hey, as an aside.. the netapp engineer gave me "access" to the filers ... yet when I type in any linux commands, it does not recognize the commands. I am getting to it via putty -ssh.. I can log on but can't seem to do anything command wise.. the engineer keeps telling me that I "should" be able to do things at the cli menu..

is this not a linux OS here? am I wrong?

thanks again

It is not linux. Ontap is its own OS is does have some BSD roots so linux commands won't work.
If you are using iscsi you should be able to use the "iscsi" set of commands.

Another thing that you will want to do is if you want to look at disk utilization for volumes use the following command.
df
To see the utilization for an Aggregate use:
df -A
To see the cpu utilization use the following command:
sysstat
Look at the man pages for sysstat as there are a number of different counters associated with it.
