NAS 2000s Release Notes

6 NAS 2000s Release Notes
Volume Mount Points support
Attempting to create an NFS share on a disk mounted on a mount
point will result in the error:
Cannot write IOCTL to NFS driver….
HP StorageWorks NAS 2000s supports many network sharing
protocols including the NFS protocol for UNIX and Linux
clients. Shares for which the NFS protocol will be enabled must
be created on logical disks that are mounted on a drive letter.

Storage Server 2003 supports mounting
virtual disks onto mount points or reparse points created on
another disk already mounted on a drive letter.
Mount points enable the administrator to mount many disk
devices under a single drive letter, creating the appearance and
behavior of a larger disk drive with a contiguous namespace.
However, the Microsoft Services for UNIX (SFU) NFS Server
does not yet support the functionality of mount points.
All logical disks to be used for NFS sharing should be mounted
on a drive letter, not on a reparse or mount point. If no NFS shares
will be created on a particular logical disk, that virtual disk may
be mounted on a mount point instead of a drive letter.
Admin cannot list and map domain users and groups
for SFU mapping unless the SFU admin is logged into
the domain
The admin must log into the domain before mapping domain
users and groups. If the admin is not logged into the domain, the
domain user or group is not on the list of Windows users or
groups and cannot be mapped.
User name mapping Japanese characters
User name mapping for the network file system (NFS) server
does not support Windows or UNIX user names containing
Japanese characters.
The names of NFS client groups that are used by the NFS server
cannot contain Japanese characters.
