Client through

the NAS

Manager from

my Linux client

system using

the Netscape

browser.

Advanced Client

session.

I have just

changed the IP

address of my

system, and

now I cannot

administrate it

through

PowerVault

NAS Manager.

Although the IP address changed, your local host is still trying to communicate

with the system using the old IP address.

For Linux only,

close Netscape 6.1

or later. Restart the

PowerVault NAS

Manager.

While updating

client access

to an NFS

share, the

option to

select No

Access is

displayed, but

the option to

select Root is

not.

Only the All Machines category options are displayed during this update.

Add the

appropriate clients,

and then select

OK. After you have

added the client,

navigate back to

the NFS tab for

this share and

select the correct

options for the

individual Client

Machines.

Every time I

try to obtain a

directory

listing from an

NFS client on

the root of a

system

volume, I get

an error

message, such

as,

Permission
Denied

.

The problem you are experiencing has to do with a System Volume

Information directory, created by Microsoft Index Server. The NFS service does

not have access to this directory and returns an error to the client when trying to

list its properties.

This issue only occurs when sharing the root of a drive letter.

Ignore this error.

The System

Volume

Information

directory is not

used by NFS clients

or your system by

default.

Sometimes I

am unable to

delete folders

that have been

used and that

are shared to

an NFS client.

This is a situation that occurs with NFS discretionary access lists (DACLs) and

inheritance. When the folder to be shared is created, the only access control entry

(ACE) created is by default Everyone with Full Control. When an NFS client

creates a directory or a file in this directory (mounted share), the Services for

UNIX (SFU) creates a new DACL that replaces the inherited Everyone with Full

Control ACE. This DACL contains an Everyone ACE with the appropriate UNIX

file creation access and may possibly contain two other ACEs for the mapped user

and group. If this happens, the administrator of the Windows client cannot delete

the file or directory unless that administrator takes ownership through the

Windows system and changes the access.

As the

administrator, use

a Windows client

system to take

ownership and

change the access

to allow you to

delete the share

folders.

When you delete

the NFS share

folders, ensure that

there are no open

file handles for the

share. If you are

unsure, delete the

share, and then

restart NFS.
