Don’t exceed 9 characters on username. Seems like nick is not limited to 9 characters as RFC1459 and RFC2812 say, but usernames longer than 9 do NOT work.

awk multiple input field separators
We want just the last directory in the tree from this list:
# tail -3 list
/mnt/fs92/vol3/users/520/520/1680520 -- 8631
/mnt/fs92/vol3/users/568/8568/1578568 -- 2
/mnt/fs92/vol3/users/429/7429/1757429 -- 2
You can use both cut and awk, or awk twice…
weak:
# tail -3 list | cut -d / -f 8 | awk '{print $1}'
1680520
1578568
1757429
Or you can just tell awk to use multiple field separators. They are bound by square brackets, and in this case we can use both / and a space to be the input field separators, making the 8th column the one we are interested in.
strong:
# tail -3 list | awk -F "[/ ]" '{print $8}'
1680520
1578568
1757429increase number of inodes in netapp volume
Your NetApp volume is at 85% and all is well right? What about inode usage? Don’t forget to monitor that and increase it as needed. Don’t set it too high, because inodes take up space, and you can’t shrink the number of inodes. If you do run out of inodes, you will get an autosupport, but until you provision more inodes no writes can happen on the volume. Use the maxfiles command to see how many you have as well as to increase the number.

Volume vol1: maximum number of files is currently 35999995 (35056570 used).

You can see the actual size of a sparse file vs. the apparent size.

convert log time seconds to readable date
[1122633.028643] end_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 0
When looking in logs, like dmesg, error messages are preceded by a number that represents the uptime on the server in seconds at the time of the error. So this I/O error happened 1122633 seconds after the machine booted. This means nothing to us. In order to see when the error happened, you need to convert the seconds of uptime into a readable date.
First get the date/time at which the server booted using who -b and convert to seconds. Then add the seconds of uptime from the error message, and then convert back to a human readable date:
# date --date="@$(echo $(date --date="`who -b | awk '{print $3" "$4}'`" +%s)+1122633|bc)"
# Tue Oct 22 00:03:33 PDT 2013
So this error happened shortly after midnight. Very interesting…

Using ESXi 5.1, add the portgroup first, then define vlan id for it:
# esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup add -v vSwitch1 -p vlan701
# esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup set -p vlan701 -v 701
