3 Storage management overview This chapter provides an overview of some of the components that make up the storage structure of the HP All-in-One Storage System. Storage management elements Storage is divided into four major divisions: • • • • Physical storage elements Logical storage elements File system elements File sharing elements Each of these elements is composed of the previous level's elements.
Physical Disks Single Server RAID Arrays Storage Elements Logical Drives Selective Storage Presentaion Visible Disks Logical Storage Elements Partitioning NTFS Volumes Q: File System Elements Shadow Copy Elements File Folders Shadow Copies (Snapshots) \Engineering \Marketing \Users \Sales Q: from 02/10/03 09:30 \snapshot.0 Q: from 02/10/03 11:30 \snapshot.
• Include the appropriate number of physical drives in the arrays to create logical storage elements of desired sizes. Arrays See Figure 11. With an array controller installed in the system, the capacity of several physical drives (P1–P3) can be logically combined into one or more logical units (L1) called arrays. When this is done, the read/write heads of all the constituent physical drives are active simultaneously, dramatically reducing the overall time required for data transfer.
Fault tolerance Drive failure, although rare, is potentially catastrophic. For example, using simple striping as shown in Figure 12, failure of any hard drive leads to failure of all logical drives in the same array, and hence to data loss. To protect against data loss from hard drive failure, storage systems should be configured with fault tolerance. HP recommends adhering to RAID 5 configurations.
It is important to note that a LUN may extend over (span) all physical drives within a storage controller subsystem, but cannot span multiple storage controller subsystems. A1 A2 L3 L1 L4 L2 L5 gl0045 Figure 13 Two arrays (A1, A2) and five logical drives (L1 through L5) spread over five physical drives NOTE: This type of configuration may not apply to all storage systems and serves only as an example. Through the use of basic disks, primary partitions or extended partitions can be created.
is important. The same performance characteristics on numbers of reads and writes apply when using fault-tolerant configurations, as is the case with controller-based RAID. These volumes can also be assigned drive letters or be mounted as mount points off existing drive letters. The administrator should carefully consider how the volumes will be carved up and what groups or applications will be using them.
Using storage elements The last step in creating the element is determining its drive letter or mount point and formatting the element. Each element created can exist as a drive letter, assuming one is available and/or as mount points off of an existing folder or drive letter. Either method is supported. However, mount points can not be used for shares that will be shared using Microsoft Network File Services.
All-in-One Storage Manager HP StorageWorks All-in-One Storage Manager (ASM) is a storage hosting and management tool that radically simplifies: • • • • Hosting storage for applications and shared folders, page 61 Data protection, page 81 Managing storage, page 89 Monitoring storage, page 93 ASM provides storage-allocation wizards that walk you through the process of allocating and configuring storage on your HP All-in-One Storage System to host application data and shared folders.
Microsoft iSCSI Target and Data Protector Express are required to host application storage and create backups using ASM. Microsoft iSCSI Target and Data Protector Express come preinstalled on your HP All-in-One Storage System. A license key is not required for Microsoft iSCSI Target. Your license key for Data Protector Express comes preinstalled on your HP All-in-One Storage System.
Figure 14 Application storage infrastructure NOTE: The iSCSI communication path is transparent to the application, application server, and Windows Explorer. The application, application server, and Windows Explorer believe the data is stored on the application server. So, to view the application data, you must navigate to the iSCSI LUN(s) on the application server, not the LUN(s) on your HP All-in-One Storage System, using Windows Explorer. ASM provides automated data migration for Exchange and SQL Server.
Figure 15 Shared folder storage infrastructure ASM discovers any top-level and nested shared folders on your HP All-in-One Storage System during setup and afterwards on an ongoing basis. ASM allows you to monitor and manage any top-level shared folders created on your HP All-in-One Storage System using ASM or other applications, such as Windows Explorer or the Shared Folder MMC snap-in.

Storage management overview
4 Hosting storage for applications and shared folders The All-in-One Storage Manager (ASM) radically simplifies hosting application storage and shared folders on your HP All-in-One Storage System, using storage-allocation wizards. Use storage-allocation wizards to allocate and configure storage for these applications: Application Description Notes Exchange Allocate and configure storage for one or more Exchange storage group components.
Application Description Notes System. A wizard assists you in allocating and configuring storage space. The wizard does not migrate user-defined application data to your HP All-in-One Storage System or reconfigure the application to store data on your HP All-in-One Storage System. You must do this manually as described in “Migrating user-defined application data from a remote application” on page 80, and as described in the application's documentation.
2. Click Next to open the Select Storage Group Components page (see “Selecting Exchange Server storage group components” on page 63). Selecting Exchange storage group components Use the Select Storage Group Components page to select the Exchange storage group and storage group components (mail stores, public stores, and logs) you want to host on your HP All-in-One Storage System and manage using ASM. 1.
Using the Create a Shared Folder Wizard The Create a Shared Folder Wizard walks you through the process of creating a top-level shared folder (file share) on your HP All-in-One Storage System, including allocating and configuring the required storage. NOTE: You cannot create nested shared folders on your HP All-in-One Storage System using ASM. You may use other applications, such as Windows Explorer or the Shared Folder MMC snap-in, to create nested shared folders on your HP All-in-One Storage System.
2. Click Next to open the Storage Allocation page (see “Allocating space for components” on page 69). Using the Host a SQL Server Database Wizard The Host a SQL Server Database Wizard automatically discovers the servers that host SQL Server and SQL Server databases on your domain, and helps you allocate and configure storage space for each database component you select: • Data file—Contains pointers to database files, storage for system tables and objects, and storage for database data and objects.
1. Do one of the following: • Select all components (including all of its components) by checking the box next to the component. • Select individual database components by expanding the list and checking the boxes next to the components. You must select all the database components, including the log file, in a database if you want to run backups and/or take snapshots of the database using ASM. NOTE: ASM cannot migrate system databases; for example, ASM cannot migrate master, model, msdb and tempdb.
1. 2. Do one of the following: • Select Transaction processing (TP) for frequently updated, fast growing databases with large volumes of data requiring concurrent user access. • Select Decision support systems (DSS) for databases designed to handle queries on large amounts of data, typically used for data-mining applications. When you are done, click Next to open the Storage Allocation page (see “Allocating space for components” on page 69).
Choose type of application 1. Select the type of application for hosting a user-defined application: • Remote Windows Application- ASM will provision storage for the application and expose the storage to the given server as an NTFS volume over the iSCSI protocol. This is the recommended option for most scenarios. The All-in-One Storage Manager agent must be installed on the application server to use this option. • iSCSI LUN- Exposes a LUN to the remote server so the server can store data on the LUN.
3. When you are done, click Next to open the Storage Allocation page (see “Allocating space for components” on page 69). NOTE: The number of slots needed for your virtual library will depend on the media rotation type chosen for the backups that will use the virtual library. The number of slots must be high enough to support the rotation type you intend to use for scheduling backups to this virtual library.
1. Application components, user-defined application, or shared folder name 4. Minimum and maximum storage space that can be allocated to each application component, user-defined application, or shared folder listed 2. Specify size of storage space to allocate to each application component, user-defined application, or shared folder listed 5. Reset all values to defaults 3. Specify the storage RAID level for each application component, user-defined application, or shared folder listed 6.
1. Do one of the following: • Click Next to accept the default values that ASM has provided for the components, user-defined application, or shared folder selected. • Change the default size values: • Select a row to edit. • Highlight the storage size unit value and then enter a new value as necessary: megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), or terabytes (TB). • Highlight the storage size number value and enter a new value, or click the arrow buttons to change the value.
Table 19 provides a brief description of the items you can modify: Table 19 Advanced window items Item Description Notes You are prevented from setting the size below 15 MB. After the allocated storage space is full (100 percent used), no further data can be stored to the space until you increase the size using the Allocate Space Wizard. The only exception is for shared folders and local storage applications without an enforced allocated limit.
Item Hot Spare Required Physical Disk Type Description Notes application. When the storage space allocated to a component is full, no further data can be saved to this component. allocated storage limit for shared folders and local storage applications on page 75. A hot spare is a hard drive reserved as a spare for storage space configured as RAID 1, 1+0, 5, or 6. A hot spare automatically replaces a hard drive when it fails.
RAID level Description that holds the data fails. However, because no logical drive capacity is used for redundant data, this method offers the best capacity. This method offers the best processing speed by reading two stripes on different hard drives at the same time and by not having a parity drive. RAID 1 – Mirroring Offers a good combination of data protection and performance. RAID 1 or drive mirroring creates fault tolerance by storing duplicate sets of data on a minimum of two hard drives.
After you set a warning threshold, ASM changes the status indicator for the application component, user-defined application, or shared folder when this threshold has been surpassed. This is a warning only; no hard limits are enforced on storage capacity as a result of setting this value. The warning is visible in these places: • A yellow warning icon appears on the application component, user-defined application, or shared folder icon in the content pane. • As an alert in the Properties window.
Selecting data protection Use the Data Protection window in the wizard to select the following: • Local disk backup- Previous versions of data are retained on disk using virtual library backups and/or volume snapshots for fast recovery. • Alternate location backup— Data is copied off of this All-in-One Storage System to tape, other disks, or other types of storage media. This enables long term storage and disaster recovery.
Scheduling backups 1. On the Data Protection page in any wizard, select Modify Advanced Properties. This will open the Data Protection Advanced Properties window. NOTE: You are also able to get to the Data Protection Advanced Properties window by selecting the Data Protection action on the selected component after you have completed the wizard. See Selecting local or alternate backup for more information on how to navigate to the Data Protection page outside of a wizard. 2.
Scheduling snapshots 1. On the Data Protection page in any wizard, select Modify Advanced Properties. This will open the Data Protection Advanced Properties window. NOTE: You are also able to get to the Data Protection Advanced Properties window by selecting Data Protection after you have scheduled backups. See Selecting local or alternate backup for more information on how to navigate to the Data Protection page outside of a wizard. 2.
Monitoring task completion status The Task Viewer shows the status of ASM wizard tasks. ASM wizard tasks allocate and configure storage, host application storage and shared folders, and configure data protection. NOTE: Click the Expand tree icon next to a task to view its subtasks. Select a task to view its description in the Details box on the Task Viewer. The Task Viewer has a filter drop-down menu.
Migrating user-defined application data from a remote application The Host an Exchange Storage Group Wizard and Host a SQL Server Database Wizard automatically migrate application data from the application server to your HP All-in-One Storage System. The Host a User-Defined Application Wizard, however, does not migrate data for a user-defined application from the application server to your HP All-in-One Storage System. You must do this manually. 1.
5 Data protection The Data protection window allows for the following: • Select how data protection is configured, using local disk-to-disk (Local D2D) and/or Alternate Location Backup (D2Any) of an Exchange storage group, SQL Server database, user-defined application, or shared folder. • Select a media rotation type for backups or run a backup of an Exchange storage group, SQL Server database, user-defined application, or shared folder.

6 Managing storage After an application is hosted or shared folder is created on your HP All-in-One Storage System using a storage-allocation wizard, you can manage its storage and data by: • • • • • Increasing or reducing the allocated storage, page 89 Changing the percent full warning threshold, page 90 Removing application areas from view, page 91 Changing permissions, names, descriptions, or paths of shared folders, page 91 Deleting shared folders, page 92 Increasing or reducing the allocated storage
3. Change the size value: • Highlight the storage size unit value and then enter a new value as necessary: megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), or terabytes (TB). • Highlight the storage size number value and enter a new value, or click the arrow buttons to change the value. The Size Range column shows the minimum and maximum storage space that can be allocated to an application component, user-defined application, or shared folder.
Removing application areas from view You can remove application components and user-defined applications from view on the ASM user interface. This allows you to remove storage information from the content pane pertaining to storage allocations lost due to hard drive failure or storage for an application component or user-defined application whose storage you plan to unhost. Removing an application component or user-defined application from view does not unhost its storage.
You will need to know the path of a shared folder to change its permissions, name, description, or path. To find the path, select the shared folder in the content pane and then click Properties in the Actions pane. The share path listed on the General tab is the path for the shared folder. Deleting shared folders ASM cannot be used to delete top-level or nested shared folders that reside on your HP All-in-One Storage System.

9 System recovery This chapter describes how to use the Recovery DVD that is provided with your All-in-One Storage System. The System Recovery DVD The HP StorageWorks All-in-One Storage System Recovery DVD that is provided with your storage system allows you to install an image or recover from a catastrophic failure. You may boot from the DVD and restore the system to the factory condition at any time. This allows you to recover the system if all other means to boot the system fails.
System recovery
A File server management This chapter begins by identifying new or improved file services in Windows Storage Server 2003 R2. The remainder of the chapter describes the many tasks and utilities that play a role in file server management. New or improved file services features in Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 Storage Manager for SANs The Storage Manager for SANs (also called Simple SAN) snap-in enables you to create and manage the LUNs that are used to allocate space on storage arrays.
Search enhancements The Indexing service is tuned for additional indexing and query performance. Prior to the R2 release, if the Indexing service on a Windows Storage Server was not entirely up-to-date, the client-side search engine needed to “walk through” all the files within the scope of the search on the server. With the performance tuning in R2, the Indexing service no longer needs to be entirely up-to-date.
• Sessions • Open Files File services management Configurable and pre-configured storage Certain storage systems ship with storage configured only for the operating system. The administrator must configure data storage for the storage system. Other storage systems ship with pre-configured storage for data. Depending on the type of storage system purchased, additional storage configuration is required. Configuring additional storage involves creating arrays, logical disks, and volumes.
NOTE: Do not tamper with the “DON’T ERASE” or local C: volume. These are reserved volumes and must be maintained as they exist. Storage management utilities The storage management utilities pre-installed on the storage system include the HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU). Array management utilities Storage devices for RAID arrays and LUNs are created and managed using the array management utilities mentioned previously. For HP Smart Arrays use the ACU.
3. Click Array Configuration Utility on the left side of the window. The ACU opens and identifies the controllers that are connected to the system. Some ACU guidelines to consider: • Do not modify the first two logical drives of the storage system; they are configured for the storage system operating system. • Spanning more than 14 disks with a RAID 5 volume is not recommended. • Designate spares for RAID sets to provide greater protection against failures. • RAID sets cannot span controllers.
• Basic disks can contain up to four primary partitions (or three primary partitions and one extended partition). • Format drives with a 16 K allocation size for best support of shadow copies, performance, and defragmentation. • NTFS formatted drives are recommended, because they provide the greatest level of support for shadow copies, encryption, and compression. • Only basic disks can be formatted as FAT or FAT32. • Read the online Disk Management help found in the utility.
When enabling disk quotas, it is possible to set both the disk quota limit and the disk quota warning level. The disk quota limit specifies the amount of disk space a user is allowed to use. The warning level specifies the point at which a user is nearing his or her quota limit. For example, a user's disk quota limit can be set to 50 megabytes (MB), and the disk quota warning level to 45 MB. In this case, the user can store no more than 50 MB on the volume.
Extending storage using Windows Storage Utilities Volume extension grows the storage space of a logical drive. During this process, the administrator adds new storage space to an existing logical drive on the same array, usually after the array has been expanded. An administrator may have gained this new storage space by either expansion or by deleting another logical drive on the same array. Unlike drive expansion, the operating system must be aware of changes to the logical drive size.
Volume shadow copies The Volume Shadow Copy Service provides an infrastructure for creating point-in-time snapshots (shadow copies) of volumes. Shadow Copy supports 64 shadow copies per volume. A shadow copy contains previous versions of the files or folders contained on a volume at a specific point in time.
Shadow copies are designed for volumes that store user data such as home directories and My Documents folders that are redirected by using Group Policy or other shared folders in which users store data. Shadow copies work with compressed or encrypted files and retain whatever permissions were set on the files when the shadow copies were taken.
Identifying the storage area To store the shadow copies of another volume on the same file server, a volume can be dedicated on separate disks. For example, if user files are stored on H:\, another volume such as S:\ can be used to store the shadow copies. Using a separate volume on separate disks provides better performance and is recommended for heavily used storage systems.
Mounted drives A mounted drive is a local volume attached to an empty folder (called a mount point) on an NTFS volume. When enabling shadow copies on a volume that contains mounted drives, the mounted drives are not included when shadow copies are taken. In addition, if a mounted drive is shared and shadow copies are enabled on it, users cannot access the shadow copies if they traverse from the host volume (where the mount point is stored) to the mounted drive.
F: G: H: cache file cache file cache file Figure 20 Shadow copies stored on a source volume The cache file location can be altered to reside on a dedicated volume separate from the volumes containing files shares. (See Figure 21). F: G: H: L: cache file cache file cache file Figure 21 Shadow copies stored on a separate volume The main advantage to storing shadow copies on a separate volume is ease of management and performance.
CAUTION: If the data on the separate volume L: is lost, the shadow copies cannot be recovered. Enabling and creating shadow copies Enabling shadow copies on a volume automatically results in several actions: • Creates a shadow copy of the selected volume. • Sets the maximum storage space for the shadow copies. • Schedules shadow copies to be made at 7 a.m. and 12 noon on weekdays. NOTE: Creating a shadow copy only makes one copy of the volume; it does not create a schedule.
NOTE: When deleting a shadow copy schedule, that action has no effect on existing shadow copies. Viewing shadow copy properties The Shadow Copy Properties page lists the number of copies, the date and time the most recent shadow copy was made, and the maximum size setting. NOTE: For volumes where shadow copies do not exist currently, it is possible to change the location of the cache file. Managing the cache files on a separate disk is recommended.
9. On the Shadow Copies tab, ensure that the volume is selected, and then click Enable. Shadow copies are now scheduled to be made on the alternate volume. Disabling shadow copies When shadow copies are disabled on a volume, all existing shadow copies on the volume are deleted as well as the schedule for making new shadow copies. CAUTION: When the Shadow Copies Service is disabled, all shadow copies on the selected volumes are deleted. Once deleted, shadow copies cannot be restored.
4. Click the Shadow Copies tab. See Figure 22. Figure 22 Accessing shadow copies from My Computer Shadow Copies for Shared Folders Shadow copies are accessed over the network by supported clients and protocols. There are two sets of supported protocols, SMB and NFS. All other protocols are not supported; this would include HTTP, FTP, AppleTalk, and NetWare Shares. For SMB support, a client-side application denoted as Shadow Copies for Shared Folders is required.
SMB shadow copies Windows users can independently access previous versions of files stored on SMB shares by using the Shadow Copies for Shared Folders client. After the Shadow Copies for Shared Folders client is installed on the user's computer, the user can access shadow copies for a share by right-clicking on the share to open its Properties window, clicking the Previous Versions tab, and then selecting the desired shadow copy. Users can view, copy, and restore all available shadow copies.
NFS shadow copies UNIX users can independently access previous versions of files stored on NFS shares via the NFS client; no additional software is required. Server for NFS exposes each of a share's available shadow copies as a pseudo-subdirectory of the share. Each of these pseudo-subdirectories is displayed in exactly the same way as a regular subdirectory is displayed. The name of each pseudo-subdirectory reflects the creation time of the shadow copy, using the format .@GMT-YYYY.MM.DD-HH:MM:SS.
6. Click Restore to restore the file or folder to its original location. Click Copy... to allow the placement of the file or folder to a new location. Figure 24 Recovering a deleted file or folder Recovering an overwritten or corrupted file Recovering an overwritten or corrupted file is easier than recovering a deleted file because the file itself can be right-clicked instead of the folder. To recover an overwritten or corrupted file: 1.
3. Click either Copy... or Restore. Clicking Restore enables the user to recover everything in that folder as well as all subfolders. Clicking Restore does not delete any files. Backup and shadow copies Shadow copies are only available on the network via the client application, and only at a file or folder level as opposed to the entire volume. Hence, the standard backup associated with a volume backup will not work to back up the previous versions of the file system.
The data is now ready to use. Folder and share management The HP All-in-One Storage System supports several file-sharing protocols, including DFS, NFS, FTP, HTTP, and Microsoft SMB. This section discusses overview information as well as procedures for the setup and management of the file shares for the supported protocols. Security at the file level and at the share level is also discussed.
2. Click Properties, and then click the Security tab. Figure 25 Properties dialog box, Security tab Several options are available on the Security tab: • To add users and groups to the permissions list, click Add. Follow the dialog box instructions. • To remove users and groups from the permissions list, highlight the desired user or group, and then click Remove. • The center section of the Security tab lists permission levels.
3. To modify ownership of files, or to modify individual file access level permissions, click Advanced. Figure 26 illustrates the properties available on the Advanced Security Settings dialog box. Figure 26 Advanced Security settings dialog box, Permissions tab Other functionality available in the Advanced Security Settings dialog box is illustrated in Figure 26 and includes: • Add a new user or group—Click Add, and then follow the dialog box instructions. • Remove a user or group— Click Remove.
4. Enable or disable permissions by selecting the Allow box to enable permission or the Deny box to disable permission. If neither box is selected, permission is automatically disabled. Figure 27 illustrates the Edit screen and some of the permissions. Figure 27 User or group Permission Entry dialog box Another area of the Advanced Security Settings is the Auditing tab. Auditing allows you to set rules for the auditing of access, or attempted access, to files or folders.
Figure 28 Advanced Security Settings dialog box, Auditing tab 5. Click Add to display the Select User or Group dialog box. Figure 29 Select User or Group dialog box NOTE: Click Advanced to search for users or groups. 6. 148 Select the user or group.
7. Click OK. The Auditing Entry dialog box is displayed. Figure 30 Auditing Entry dialog box for folder name NTFS Test 8. Select the desired Successful and Failed audits for the user or group. 9. Click OK. NOTE: Auditing must be enabled to configure this information. Use the local Computer Policy Editor to configure the audit policy on the storage system. The Owner tab allows taking ownership of files.
Figure 31 Advanced Security Settings dialog box, Owner tab The current owner of the file or folder is listed at the top of the screen. To take ownership: 1. Click the appropriate user or group in the Change owner to list. 2. If it is also necessary to take ownership of subfolders and files, enable the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects box. 3. Click OK. Share management There are several ways to set up and manage shares.
By keeping the number of shares and other resources low, the performance of the storage system is optimized. For example, instead of sharing out each individual user's home directory as its own share, share out the top-level directory and let the users map personal drives to their own subdirectory. Defining Access Control Lists The Access Control List (ACL) contains the information that dictates which users and groups have access to a share, as well as the type of access that is permitted.
Managing shares Shares can be managed using the HP All-in-One Management Console. Tasks include: • • • • Creating a new share Deleting a share Modifying share properties Publishing in DFS CAUTION: Before deleting a share, warn all users to exit that share and confirm that no one is using that share. File Server Resource Manager File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) is a suite of tools that allows administrators to understand, control, and manage the quantity and type of data stored on their servers.
Storage reports On the Storage Reports node of the File Server Resource Manager snap-in, you can perform the following tasks: • Schedule periodic storage reports that allow you to identify trends in disk usage. • Monitor attempts to save unauthorized files for all users or a selected group of users. • Generate storage reports instantly.

B Print services Microsoft Print Management Console Print Management in the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 operating system is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-on that system administrators can use to perform common print management tasks in a large enterprise. It provides a single interface that administrators can use to perform printer and print server management tasks efficiently with detailed control.
Network printer drivers Updated print drivers for HP network printers are preinstalled on the storage system. If a Service Release DVD has been run on the server, there are updated HP network print drivers in the C:\hpnas\PRINTERS folder. Print services management Print services information to plan, set up, manage, administer, and troubleshoot print servers and print devices are available online using the Help and Support Center feature.
• Web-based printer management with the ability to administer, connect to, and view printers through a web browser. • Internet printing enabling users to connect to a printer using the printer's URL. A Microsoft white paper discussing the uses of both components can be obtained at http:// www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/internetprint.mspx. Planning considerations for print services Before configuring the print server, the following checklist of items should be followed: 1.
be created on the print server. The utility is located on the storage system in the C:\hpnas\Components\Install Network Printer Wizard folder. Sustaining print administration tasks Tasks that need to be performed regularly to support the print services include: • Monitoring print server performance using the built-in performance monitoring tool in the Windows Server operating system. • Supporting printers that include adding, moving, and removing printers as requirements change.
Internet is required, or the utility can be pointed to a local location where the firmware images are stored. For more information on upgrading HP Jetdirect print server firmware, see http:// h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=bpj06917. Printer server scalability and sizing A Microsoft technical paper overviews several key factors that influence the capacity of a given print server configuration.
• Stop and restart the spooler service, or restart the print server. Troubleshooting The online help or Help and Support Center feature should be used to troubleshoot general and common print-related problems. Printing help can be accessed by selecting Start > Help and Support, then the Printers and Faxes selection under Help Contents. The same print troubleshooting information can be accessed at http://www.microsoft.
C Microsoft Services for Network File System (MSNFS) This chapter discusses networking features in Microsoft Services for Network File System (MSNFS). MSNFS Features MSNFS is an update to the NFS components that were previously available in Services for UNIX 3.5.

Access Add/Remove Programs. 2. Select Add/Remove Windows Components > Active Directory Services > Details. 3. Install Identity Management for Windows.
1. Go to Add/Remove Programs. 2. Select Add/Remove Windows Components > Other Network File and Print Services > Microsoft Services for NFS > Details. 3. Install Client for NFS. Administering MSNFS To access Microsoft Services for Network File System from the Start menu: 1. Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools. 2. Click Microsoft Services for Network File System. To access Microsoft Services for Network File System from the HP All-in-One Management Console: 1.
Refer to Table 47 for guidance as to when to use NFS Authentication DLL instead of S4U legacy NFS and R2 MSNFS.
5. Read the End User License Agreement carefully. If you accept the terms of the agreement, click I accept the terms in the License Agreement, and then click Next to continue installation. If you click I do not accept the License Agreement (Exit Setup), the installation procedure terminates. 6. Click Custom Installation, and then click Next. 7. In the Components pane, click the down arrow next to Windows Services for UNIX, and then click Entire component will not be available. 8.
Accessing NFS resources for Windows users and groups Server for NFS allows Windows clients to access NFS resources on the storage system without separately logging on to Server for NFS. The first time users attempt to access an NFS resource, the Server for NFS looks up the user’s UNIX UID and GID information in either Windows Active Directory or the User Name Mapping function on the storage system.
is not mapped to a Windows account is treated by Server for NFS as an anonymous user. By default, the user identifier (UID) and group identifier (GID) is -2. For example, if files are created on an NFS Share by UNIX users who are not mapped to Windows users, the owner of those files are listed as anonymous user and anonymous group, (-2,-2). By default, Server for NFS does not allow anonymous users to access a shared directory.
• Use naming conventions to identify shares with EUC encoding • Protect configuration files For further details, see the online help for Microsoft Services for Network File System. User Name Mapping The User Name Mapping component provides centralized user mapping services for Server for NFS and Client for NFS. User Name Mapping lets you create maps between Windows and UNIX user and group accounts even though the user and group names in both environments may not be identical.
User Name Mapping Administration The User Name Mapping administration online help contains information for the following topics: • • • • • • Understanding the User Name Mapping component Starting and stopping User Name Mapping Configuring User Name Mapping Securing access to the User Name Mapping server Managing maps Managing groups Best practices for User Name Mapping • Install User Name Mapping on a domain controller. • Create a User Name Mapping server pool.
Command Function showmount –e Views exports from the server and their export permissions unmount Removes NFS-mounted drives For further details, see the online help for Microsoft Services for Network File System. Optimizing Server for NFS performance The following sources provide useful information on how to optimize performance for Microsoft Services for NFS.
Point and print from UNIX to Windows Server 2003 Point-and-Print behavior from UNIX clients to Windows Server 2003 and Windows Storage Server 2003 is similar to the behavior for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium Edition clients, because all these clients create SMB connections. However, the non–Windows operating systems maintain their own driver model, so these clients do not automatically get the driver during Point and Print—they must install the driver locally.
Microsoft Services for Network File System (MSNFS)
D Other network file and print services This chapter discusses file and print services for NetWare and Macintosh. File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) is one part of the Microsoft software package called Services for NetWare. The most common use of the NetWare network operating system is as a file and print server.
5. Select the NETSFNTSRV file, and then click OK. File and Print Services for NetWare should now be displayed as an option to install. 6. Select File and Print Services for NetWare, and then click OK. Managing File and Print Services for NetWare FPNW resources are managed through Server Manager. Server Manager can be used to modify FPNW properties and manager shared volumes.
2. Select FPNW, and then click Properties. Figure 32 File and Print Services for NetWare dialog box 3. Enter an FPNW Server Name and Description. This server name must be different from the server name used by Windows or LAN Manager-based clients. If changing an existing name, the new name is not effective until stopping and restarting FPNW. For example, in Figure 32 the Windows server name is Alamo and the FPNW server name is Alamo_FPNW. 4. Indicate a Home directory root path.
Adding local NetWare users 1. From the storage system desktop, click the Management Console icon, click Core Operating System, and then click Local Users and Groups. 2. Right-click the Users folder, and then click New User. Figure 33 New User dialog box 3. Enter the user information, including the user's User name, Full name, Description, and Password. 4. Click Create. 5. Repeat these steps until all NetWare users have been entered. Enabling local NetWare user accounts 1.
2. Click the NetWare Services tab. Figure 34 NetWare Services tab 3. Select Maintain NetWare compatible login. 4. Set other NetWare options for the user, and then click OK. NOTE: The installation of File and Print Services for NetWare also creates a supervisor account, which is used to manage FPNW. The supervisor account is required if the storage system was added as a bindery object into NDS.
Creating a new NCP share To create a new file share: 1. From the storage system desktop, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Server Manager. 2. Select File and Print Service for NetWare> Shared Volumes. 3. Click Create Volume. 4. Specify the volume name and path. 5. Click Permissions to set permissions. 6. Click Add to add additional users and groups, and to set their permissions. 7. Highlight the desired user or group, and then click Add. 8.
Point and Print—they must install the driver locally. Like the Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium clients, these non–Windows clients do not receive driver updates from the print server after a driver is initially downloaded.
