3. Log in. 4. Click the Start button, then select Help from the Start menu. Home Page This default page (Figure 3) displays when you connect to the DataSafe NAS from a client computer on the network. Figure 3 Home page From the Home page, you can choose which task to perform or which DataSafe NAS attribute to manage or configure.
2 Network Setup From the Network Setup page, you can choose which network-related properties of the DataSafe NAS to configure: n Identification—Set the name and domain membership of the DataSafe NAS. (See “Identification” on page 17.) n Interfaces—Configure the local network settings on the DataSafe NAS. (See “Interfaces: Network Settings” on page 26.) n Global Settings—Configure network settings that apply to all network adapters on the DataSafe NAS.
Identification The DataSafe NAS must be given a name. Clients use this name to access the file shares that reside on the unit. The DataSafe NAS can be configured as a member of one of the following: n A Microsoft NT 4 domain n A Microsoft Active Directory domain n A Workgroup. If no workgroups exist on the network (for example, if this is a Unix environment), this option should be selected and any arbitrary name used.
Figure 4 Server Appliance Identity page 3. In the text boxes provided, enter the appropriate Server appliance name (DataSafe NAS name) and domain-name system (DNS) suffix. 4. The DNS suffix is appended to the host name to create the fully-qualified machine name. 5. Specify whether the client computer will be part of a Workgroup or a Domain. 6. If the machine will be part of a domain, enter the User name and Password of the person who has permission to add client computers to the domain.
¨ ¨ If you click OK, the DataSafe NAS will reboot and the Restarting page will appear. When the DataSafe NAS is back online, the Home Page of the Web UI will display and your changes will be in effect. If you click Cancel, the changes to the DataSafe NAS identity will not take effect until the next reboot.
characters except periods. If other networking protocols are installed without TCP/IP, the server appliance name is limited to 15 characters. If you specify a server appliance name longer than 15 characters and you want longer names to be recognized by the Microsoft Active Directory domain, the domain administrator must enable registration of DNS names that are 16 bytes or longer. DNS Name Resolution When DNS name resolution begins, the DNS resolver first checks what type of name was submitted.
adds a terminating period and then queries DNS using that name. However, if you enter a single-label, unqualified name, or a multiple-label, unqualified name, and the name fails to resolve as an FQDN, the resolver systematically appends different DNS suffixes to the name that you entered, adding periods to make them FQDNs. The resolver then resubmits the name to DNS. If you have not entered a domain suffix search list, the DNS resolver appends the following names: 1. The primary DNS suffix. 2.
DNS Suffixes Domain-name system (DNS) suffixes have two primary purposes: 1. When appended to the server appliance host name, (DataSafe NAS name) DNS suffixes comprise the fully-qualified server appliance name. 2. DNS suffixes are used to resolve IP addresses. If your DataSafe NAS is a member of a Microsoft Windows NT 4 domain, a Microsoft Active Directory, or a workgroup, the DNS suffix is dependent upon the domain environment.
If you switch to a new Active Directory and select Change primary DNS suffix when domain membership changes, the DNS suffix is updated to match the new Active Directory domain that you are joining. For example, suppose your current DNS suffix is MyMachine, and you join a new Active Directory domain called example.microsoft.com. The new DNS suffix, (example.microsoft.
To set or change the workgroup membership of the DataSafe NAS 1. On the primary menu bar, click Network Setup. 2. On the Network Setup page, click Identification. The Server Appliance Identity page (Figure 5) displays. Figure 5 Server Appliance Identity 3. Select the Workgroup radio button and enter the name of the workgroup to join. 4. If the DataSafe NAS belonged to a domain before you joined the workgroup, the DataSafe NAS will be disjoined from the domain and the computer account will be disabled. 5.
n the Home Page of the Web UI to see your changes in effect. If you click Cancel, the changes to the server appliance (DataSafe NAS) identity will not take effect until the next reboot. Domain In Microsoft Windows NT 4 and Microsoft Active Directory environments, a domain is a collection of computers defined by the administrator of a network that share a common directory database.
Interfaces: Network Settings Network Protocol Settings allow your computer to connect to other computers on a network in order to share information. For NIC Configurations go to page 44 From the Network Adapters page (Figure 6) of the DataSafe NAS Web UI, you can: n Set or change the Internet Protocol (IP) and Gateway addresses, subnet masks, and metrics. n Set or change the configuration of the DNS clients. n Set or change the configuration of the WINS clients.
IP Settings Each computer on the network must have a unique IP address to send and receive data. You can use the IP Address Configuration screen to have your DataSafe NAS automatically obtain the IP address configuration from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. You can also configure the address(es) manually. In addition, you can use the IP Address Configuration screen to specify one or more gateway addresses.
Figure 7 IP Address Configuration 5. Next to the Configuration option, select whether to obtain the configuration automatically from the DHCP server, or to manually configure the IP address(es). If you choose to obtain the configuration from the DHCP server, click OK to save your changes and finish this task. To manually set or change the IP settings 1. In the IP address text box, type the IP address, then click Add.
2. For a local area connection, in the Subnet mask text boxes, type the appropriate mask information. A subnet mask is a 32-bit number that is notated by using four numbers from 0 through 255, separated by periods. Typically, default subnet mask numbers use either 0 or 255 as values (such as 255.255.255.0). However, other numeric values can appear, indicating that subnetting is configured for a single TCP/IP network.
Note: The purpose of this property page is to allow you to enter the addresses of EXTERNAL DNS servers. The DataSafe NAS does not contain a DNS server. For example, a workstation configured to use DNS name resolution could use the command ping remotehost rather than ping 1.2.3.4 if the mapping for the system named remotehost was contained in the DNS database. DNS domains should not be confused with Microsoft Windows domains.
Figure 8 DNS Configuration 5. Next to the Configuration option, select the Obtain configuration from DHCP server radio button. 6. Click OK. To manually set the DNS servers to be used by the DataSafe NAS 1. On the primary menu bar, click Network Setup. 2. On the Network Setup page, click Interfaces. 3. From the Object Selection table, select the network connection to modify. 4. On the Tasks list, select DNS. 5.
WINS Settings WINS clients attempt to register their names with a WINS server when they start or join the network. Thereafter, WINS clients query the WINS server as needed to resolve remote names. Note: The purpose of this property page is to allow you to enter the addresses of EXTERNAL WINS servers. The DataSafe NAS does not contain a WINS server. WINS-enabled clients are computers that can be configured to make direct use of a WINS server.
you statically assign the IP address for the adapter. If you have DHCP enabled, you can remove one or two existing addresses and add different addresses, but you will not be able to remove all WINS servers from a DHCP-enabled adapter. If you remove two WINS addresses and do not add at least one, DHCP will automatically assign WINS addresses. To change the WINS settings of the DataSafe NAS 1. On the primary menu bar, click Network Setup. 2. On the Network Setup page, click Interfaces. 3.
Global Settings: Network Configuration From this page, you can change the overall network settings for your DataSafe NAS by specifying the DNS suffixes and the LMHOSTS file to use. LMHOSTS can be used to resolve the names of any computer or device. Note that the DNS suffix used here applies when the DataSafe NAS is trying to resolve a host or domain name. To automatically set or change DNS suffixes 1. On the primary menu bar, click Network Setup. 2. On the Network Setup page, click Global Settings.
4. Additionally, you may choose to Append primary DNS suffix and parent suffixes by marking the check box next to this option. 5. Click OK. To manually add specific DNS suffixes 1. On the Network Setup page, click Global Network Settings (see Figure 10). 2. Under DNS suffixes to use, select Append specific DNS suffixes. 3. In the text box next to the Add button, enter the DNS suffix you wish to add, then click Add. 4. The new entry will appear in the list box to the left of the Add button. 5. Click OK.
4. Click OK. LMHOSTS Files About Name Resolution In order for people to reach your site on an intranet, you must have a unique IP address that identifies your computer on the network. This address takes the form of a long string of numbers separated by dots (for example, 172.16.255.255). Because a numeric address is difficult for people to remember, text names or “friendly names” are used to provide visitors with an easy-to-remember address, such as \\MyStoredFiles.
n n n The IP address should begin in the first column, followed by the corresponding computer name (entries in the LMHOSTS file are not casesensitive). The address and the computer name should be separated by at least one space or tab. The number sign (#) character is typically used to mark the start of a comment. However, this character can also be used to designate special keywords, as described in this section. The keywords listed in the following table can be used in the LMHOSTS file.
#INCLUDE filename Forces the system to seek the specified filename and parse it as if it were local. Specifying a universal naming convention (UNC) filename allows you to use a centralized LMHOSTS file on a server. You must map the server before its entry in the #INCLUDE section, and also append #PRE to ensure that it is preloaded (otherwise the #INCLUDE will be ignored). #BEGIN_ALTERNATE Used to group multiple #INCLUDE statements. Any single successful #INCLUDE statement causes the group to succeed.
#END_ALTERNATE Used to mark the end of an #INCLUDE grouping. \ 0 x nn Support for nonprinting characters in NetBIOS names. Enclose the NetBIOS name in q u o t a t i o n m a r k s a n d u s e \ 0 x nn hexadecimal notation to specify a hexadecimal value for the character. This allows custom applications that use special names to function properly in routed topologies. However, LAN Manager TCP/IP does not recognize the hexadecimal format, so you surrender backward compatibility if you use this feature.
#INCLUDE \\trey\public\LMHOSTS LMHOSTS from this server #END_ALTERNATE #adds In the preceding example: n The servers named localsrv and trey are preloaded so they can be used later in an #INCLUDE statement in a centrally maintained LMHOSTS file. n The server named "appname \0x14" contains a special character after the 15 characters (including blanks) in its name, so its name is enclosed in quotation marks. n The server named popular is preloaded, based on the #PRE keyword.
Change Administrator Password The DataSafe NAS comes with a set of default accounts. Only the Administrator account has administrative privileges. The default User Name is: Admnistrator, and the Password is blank (none). Note: If an administrator adds a domain account to the local Administrators group, the domain user may access and administer the DataSafe NAS. However, the administrator cannot use the Change Administrator Password page to change his or her (domain account) password.
Note: The new administrator password must conform to any password complexity rules in effect for the domain to which the DataSafe NAS belongs. 5. Re-type the new administrator password in the Confirm new password box. 6. Click OK. Related Topics n “Initial DataSafe NAS Configuration” on page 13 Administration Web Server This feature allows you to change the IP address(es) and port that can be used to access the administration site on the DataSafe NAS.
Figure 11 Administration Site Properties 3. On the General tab of the Administration Site Properties page: a. Specify whether to use All IP Addresses or Just this IP Address. b. If you choose to use Just this IP Address¸ use the drop-down list to select the IP address to use. c. If changing the port, enter the new port number in the Port text box. 4. Click OK. NIC Configuration CAUTION: DataSafe NAS User’s Manual The DataSafe NAS comes with default NIC Configuration settings, designed for optimum use.
Adaptive Load Balancing The default setting for your NIC configuration is Team with Adaptive Load Balancing. This design ensures optimum performance in NIC failover support, when both network ports are connected to the same subnet. However, if you find it necessary to change your configuration to access the DataSafe NAS from more than one subnet, the NIC configuration can be changed to have each NIC port connected to a different subnet.
n n Adapter: Lists each adapter by name. Priority: Lists the priority status for the adapters in a team (if you have specified a priority). You can specify that an adapter serve as the Primary or Secondary adapter within the Adapter Fault Tolerance function of a team. The Status column lists the following states: n Active: The currently active adapter(s) in a team. Adapters in FEC or GEC mode display this status to show they are always active. n Standby: The current standby adapter In a team.
Note: When you add a new team or if you delete a team from the Network Control Panel, the frame type for each adapter in the team reverts to Auto. This is important only if you need to manually set the frame type on your adapters. Breaking and Restoring Team Configuration CAUTION: To allow two different subnets to access the DataSafe NAS, you must break team configuration. In this case the NIC failover feature will not be provided. To break team configuration 1.

the NFS server. The Open Network Computing External Data Representation (ONC-XDR) protocol ensures portable data transmission between NFS clients and the NFS server. You can use the NFS Service to manage NFS Client Groups, NFS Locking, and NFS User and Group mappings. NFS Shares, however, are created from the Folders and Shares section of the Web UI.
uses the external data representation (XDR) protocol to ensure portable data transmission between NFS clients and the DataSafe NAS. UNIX computers follow advisory locking for all lock requests. This means that the operating system does not enforce lock semantics on a file, and applications that check for the existence of locks can use these locks effectively. However, the NFS Service implements mandatory locks even for those locking requests that are received through NFS.
2. On the secondary menu bar, select NFS. 3. On the NFS Service page, click Client Groups. The NFS Client Groups page (Figure 21) displays. Figure 21 NFS Client Groups 4.

On the Edit NFS Client Group page, select the IP address or computer name of the member to remove from the group. 7. Click Remove. 8. Click OK.
After a system failure, when the DataSafe NAS is restarted the DataSafe NAS attempts to restore the file lock status to the previous condition. If the client fails, the DataSafe NAS releases the file lock. However, after the client restarts it has a short period of time to reclaim the file lock. To manage NFS locks 1. On the primary menu bar, select Services. 2. In the Object Selection table of the Manage Services screen, select NFS Service, then select Properties in the Task column. 3.
User and Group Mappings In order to provide security for DataSafe NAS files accessed from a UNIX environment, the NFS service requires the system administrator to map UNIX user or group accounts to their twin accounts on the DataSafe NAS. Users then have equivalent access rights under UNIX as they have under Microsoft Windows. Alternatively, sites with less stringent security needs can bypass the mapping procedure and treat all UNIX users as anonymous users.
Section Topics This section contains the following topics n “General Tab” on page 70 n “Simple Maps” on page 71 n “Explicit User Maps” on page 73 n “Explicit Group Maps” on page 75 General Tab To map NFS users and groups 1. On the primary menu bar, select Services. 2. On the Manage Services screen, select NFS Service radio button, then click on Properties in the Tasks column. 3.

In the NIS domain text box, enter the name of the domain from which UNIX user and group information is obtained. c. Optionally, in the NIS server (optional) text box, enter the name of the server to map. d.
If enabled, simple maps create automatic mappings between Unix users and Microsoft Windows users that both share the same user name. In a simple user map, users in a Windows domain are implicitly mapped one-to-one to UNIX users on the basis of user name. When the Windows domain and the UNIX 'passwd' and group files or Network Information Services (NIS) domain are identified, the simple maps function maps users who have the same name in both the Windows and UNIX or NIS domain.
7. Click OK. Explicit User Maps User and Group mapping lets you create inter- and cross-platform maps among Microsoft Windows and UNIX user and group accounts, even when the user and group names in both environments are not identical. User and Group mapping also let you set up one- to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-one inter- and crossplatform mappings among Windows and UNIX users and groups.

contain commands that are not supported by the FTP server service. The FTP server service is integrated with the Windows security model. Users connecting to the FTP server service are authenticated based on their Windows Powered user accounts, and receive access based on their user profiles. Keep in mind, however, that the FTP Server protocol relies on the ability to pass user passwords over the network without data encryption.
FTP Logging You can log incoming FTP connections in to the FTP log by enabling FTP Logging. By default, FTP logs are stored in %WinDir%\System32\LogFilesMSFTPSVC1. Administrators can access these files from their workstation by either accessing an administrative share (for example, \\appliancename\C$\winnt\system32\logfiles\msftp svc1) or by creating a new share for this folder. To enable FTP Logging 1. On the primary menu bar, select Services. 2. On the secondary menu bar, select FTP.
an e-mail address as the password. By default, anonymous connections are not allowed. Note: You cannot access the FTP server from a Microsoft Windows Powered user account with the name anonymous. The anonymous user name is reserved in the FTP server for the anonymous logon function. Users logging on to the server with the user name anonymous receive permissions based on the FTP server configuration for anonymous logons.
¨ ¨ ¨ When anonymous FTP connection to the server is not allowed, each user must provide a valid Windows user name and password. To configure the FTP server service for this setting, make sure the Enable anonymous connection check box is cleared. When both anonymous and Windows users can connect to the FTP server, users can use either: 1) an anonymous connection, or 2) a Windows user name and password.

Web (HTTP) Service The hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) is a communications protocol designed to transfer hypertext documents between computers over the World Wide Web (the Web). HTTP defines what actions Web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands.
To specify the location of a resource, HTTP uses Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). URLs follow a naming convention that uniquely identify the location of a computer, directory, or file on the Internet. The URL also specifies the Internet protocol (FTP, HTTP, etc.) needed to retrieve the resource. If you know the URL of a resource, you can provide the URL, or you can link to it from a document you make available to Web users.

SNMP Service Network Protocol Overview: SNMP The simple network management protocol (SNMP) service supports computers running TCP/IP and IPX protocols. It is an optional service that can be installed after the TCP/IP protocol has been successfully configured.
n The SNMP management system requests information from a managed computer (called an SNMP agent) such as the amount of hard disk space available or the number of active sessions. The SNMP management system can also initiate a change to the configuration of an SNMP agent. However, this is rare because most clients have read-only access. An SNMP agent. The SNMP agent responds to SNMP management system requests for information. Any computer running SNMP agent software is an SNMP agent.

Appendix B: CIFS Overview The Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol is used by clients running Windows. When you share a folder, you can choose permissions that will allow or deny other network users access to the files in that folder. For client computers running Microsoft Windows, you can also specify whether other Windows users will be able to make the shared folder available offline.
Automatic caching makes the contents of a folder available offline whether someone using your shared server appliance folder specifically chooses to make them available or not. Automatic caching makes every file that someone opens available to that person offline. Documents, drawings, program files, and other files can all be made available.
