Chapter 2 NAS Head 2-143
3. At the CLI, enter “show file.hosts”. This will return the location of the active hosts
file. You can safely assume that the active passwd and group file are located in the
same directory.
4. Next, run the following commands from the CLI: “cleari
/<volumename>/etc/hosts”, “cleari /<volumename>/etc/passwd”, and
“cleari/<volumename>/etc/group”. Press the [Enter] key after each of these.
5. Next, copy the updated version of these files to the /etc directory located above via
NFS or SMB.
Determine NFS Unicode and language settings: Several international character sets
use double-byte character encoding to define extended characters. It is important to
know whether these clients use Unicode encoding or not. This setting is configured
on the client systems. Windows systems use Unicode code pages exclusively, so in a
mixed environment, it’s best to configure the NFS client for Unicode. This primarily
affects filenames, but also network names and few other items.
The StorEdge assumes that NFS clients send this data in ASCII format, and converts
this data to UTF-8 before storing it. If the NFS clients use Unicode, this behavior
needs to be changed, which can only be done at the StorEdge CLI (command line
interface).
1. To access the StorEdge CLI, connect to the StorEdge via Telnet or serial console.
2. Type “admin” at the [menu] prompt and enter the administrator password.
3. At the CLI, enter “set nfs.utf8 yes”.
This tells the StorEdge that the information is already in Unicode UTF-8 format.
Please note that all variable names and values are case sensitive. After setting any
variables on the StorEdge, i.e. anytime the “set” command is used, the command
"savevars" must be entered at the command line in order for the settings to persist
though future server reboots.
Also, you should configure the language codepage that StorEdge should use. The
best way to do this is with the StorEdge Web Admin.
This functionality is also available through the StorEdge Web Admin.
1. To use the Web Admin, connect with a Web browser to http://<hostname or IP
address of your StorEdge>.
2. Click “Grant” or “Yes” to accept any Java software authorization windows and
you will reach the login screen.
3. Type the administrator password to access the administration interface.
4. Navigate to System Operations/Assign Language. Select the desired language, and
click the “Apply” button.
