The BIG5, EUC-KR, EUC-TW,

GB2312-80, KSC5601, and
Shift-JIS character encoding
schemes for NFS shares
cannot be specified in the
NAS Manager.

 

The NAS Manager user interface supports only EUC-JP and ANSI character encoding for NFS

shares.

 

Access the NAS system's

desktop and modify the NFS
share properties of the folder
directly.

 

The NFS client group All

Machines is reset to No
Access
when another client
group is set with the same
access permissions and
root.

 

Setting a client group to use the same permissions as All Machines causes All Machines to

be reset to No Access.

 

Access the NAS system's

desktop and modify the NFS
share properties of the folder
directly.

 

I am getting inconsistent

map definitions when I use
the NAS Manager and the
SFU MMC to create user
name maps.

 

Modifications to user name maps are cached and may not take effect immediately.

 

Use only one tool to administer

user name maps.

Issue

Possible cause

Resolution

 

I cannot create AppleTalk shares on a

new NAS system.

 

AppleTalk protocol is not enabled by default on

new or reinstalled systems.

 

Enable AppleTalk protocol on new systems or systems that have

been reinstalled as explained in "

Enabling the AppleTalk Protocol

"

in the "Advanced Features" section of this guide.

 

I am getting event errors for Services

for Macintosh.

 

Services for Macintosh are bound to the

onboard network adapter by default. If this
network adapter has been disabled, binding
errors occur.

 

Bind the AppleTalk protocol to an enabled NIC. See "

AppleTalk

Protocol Adapter Binding

" in the "Advanced Features" section of

this guide.

 

From a Macintosh client, users cannot

modify or delete a file that a Windows
client has accessed.

 

The time between clients and the system is not

properly synchronized.

 

Ensure that clients have their time synchronized to within

10 minutes of the time zone.

 

I have rebooted my NAS system from

a Macintosh client. Several minutes
have passed and my NAS system has
not rebooted or the page has not
refreshed.

 

The most likely cause is that the NAS system

has come back online, but the client screen has
not refreshed because the NAS Manager does
not automatically refresh the screen when the
NAS system has finished rebooting.

 

Close Internet Explorer, and then reconnect to the NAS Manager.

The NAS system should behave normally.

 

From a Macintosh client, I cannot

connect to the administration part of
the NAS Manager by using the
Administer This Appliance link on the
HTTP Shares page.

 

The internally generated certificate is not

supported by Internet Explorer for Macintosh.

 

You can administer the NAS system by using the address

http://servername:1278

; however, this is a nonsecure link.

 

After modifying properties of the

AppleTalk protocol, File Services for
Macintosh does not restart.

 

File Services for Macintosh can not establish

communication to the local RPC service.

 

Restart the workstation service. See "

Restarting Workstation

Services

" in the "Advanced Features" section of this guide.

 

A user cannot access an AppleTalk

share.

 

The share may need to be authenticated for the

user.

 

If Apple Authentication is used, create a user and assign an 8-

character (or less) password for authentication.

 

If Microsoft Authentication is used, ensure that the correct user

name and password are being used. The user may also not have
the correct privileges to access the share. Passwords greater
than 8-characters are not supported without a Microsoft
Authentication agent.

Issue

Possible cause

Resolution

 

I cannot use the Back button in Netscape Navigator

for the online help in the NAS Manager.

 

This feature is not supported.

 

Use the Previous Topic link to

navigate back to earlier topics.

 

I get a password prompt when navigating through

Local Groups in the NAS Manager using Netscape
Navigator on Red Hat Linux.

 

The password prompt is generated by Netscape and does not

require re-authentication. The administrator is being asked
whether the password that was used to access this screen
should be saved.

 

Select Do not Prompt Me

Again, and this message will not
display in the future.

 

I am using Netscape Navigator to administer my NAS

system through the NAS manager. A long gray bar at
the bottom of the screen is covering the OK and
Cancel buttons.

 

The page has not finished loading.

 

Use one of the following

resolutions:

Wait for the page to

finish loading.

Refresh the page several

times.
