Chapter 2 NAS Head 2-51
StorEdge has same files in 2 different shares.
This is caused by creating multiple share names that point to the same directory or
volume. Shares always point to a directory. Root level shares will always contain all
files on the volume, regardless of how many shares are created to this volume. View
shares as pointers, with the understanding that many of these pointers may exist to
a single location.
User maps are incorrect.
User maps are not automatically created.
The requirements for successful user mapping are to import all NFS users to the
StorEdge and define a mapping rule. These requirements must be met before any
CIFS/SMB users have connected. If CIFS/SMB users connect before both of these are
in place, the user will be mapped to a StorEdge-generated UID.
Once the mapping has been created, it will not be overwritten by subsequent
connections with updated credential info.
Windows users are not mapped to the expected NFS group.
Mappings are not created for most Windows groups.
Although Windows users can maintain membership in many groups, the StorEdge
user and group mapping functionality only recognizes the Primary Group. By
default, all Windows Users are assigned the primary group, “Domain Users”. The
only exception to this is if they are a member of the “Domain Admins” group at the
time the user account is created, in which case this group is assigned as the primary
group.
In order for group mapping between CIFS/SMB and NFS to be effective, primary
group assignments must be made selectively. It may be necessary to create some
groups. Primary group assignment is done is Windows User Manager for Domains,
usually from a Domain Controller. See your Windows documentation for details on
how to configure this setting. It is important to use only Windows “Global Groups”
for this purpose. Windows Local Groups are intended to be used only locally, on the
Domain Controllers themselves.
After making modifications to Windows users’ primary groups, groups with no
mappings will be mapped to NFS groups according to the mapping policy. The
mapping will be automatically created as soon as a CIFS/SMB user connects with a
primary group which is not in the StorEdge group.map file. Before this happens,
make sure that group information is imported to StorEdge, either manually or via
NFS, and the desired mapping policy is in place.
