Chapter 2 NAS Head 2-63
4. Finally, type “approve update”. This causes the new file to become active.
Now, you should be able to mount StorEdge from a trusted host via NFS.
Local NIS files are no longer updating.
The first step is to check the system log. This will tell us if there is a problem
connecting to the NIS server.
1. To do so, access the StorEdge via Telnet.
2. Type “admin” at the [menu] prompt and enter the administrator password.
3. At the CLI, enter “menu”.
4. Select option “2”, Show Log. This will display the fourteen most recent syslog
messages.
5. Select option “1”, Show Entire Log. Browse through the log one screen at a time,
looking for any messages relating to the NIS server. You might find errors that a
server is unreachable via TCP, or if the NIS server is defined by name, there could
be a problem communicating with the DNS server.
If no such messages are found, it is likely that the NIS monitor thread needs to be
reinitialized. To perform this operation, press [Esc] until you exit to the CLI, then
enter “niscfg –k” at the CLI. After this, type “menu” to return to the menu, and
check the log once again as above to verify that NIS files have been updated.
Windows created files are root owned when viewed via NFS. (In
Windows Domain mode)
This occurs when a Windows user is a member of the Domain Administrators group.
The Domain Admins group of the local domain is always mapped to root user and
group (UID and GID 0). If it is necessary for a member of Domain Admins to share
files with a specific UNIX
(R)
user account, you must change the user’s primary
group to a group other than Domain Admins. This is done by editing the Windows
Domain user account.
It is also necessary to change the ownership of the file to the user rather than the
Domain Admins group. Do this by right clicking on the object within Windows, and
selecting Properties/Security. Please note that you must have the appropriate rights
to view or set security, and that you can perform these operations recursively with a
checkbox.
