5.6.4 HP StoreAll Storage Release Notes (AW549-96075, June 2013)

1. Install the likewise-cifs.x86_64.rpm. (This RPM is provided in the IBRIX OS Software
distribution in the directory /usr/local/ibrix/installation/ibrix/distrib/
engine/RHEL5/x86-64.)
rpm –i likewise-cifs.x86_64-X9000_v5.5.rpm
2. Join the management console to the AD domain manually:
/opt/likewise/bin/domainjoin-cli join <domain name> <domain account
to join domain>
3. Stop Likewise:
/opt/likewise/bin/lwsm stop lwreg && /etc/init.d/lwsmd stop
4. Start Likewise:
/etc/init.d/lwsmd start && /opt/likewise/bin/lwsm start srvsvc
5. Restart the management console:
/etc/init.d/ibrix_fusionmanager restart
The management console will now recognize the Active Directory users and groups, and you can
assign quotas to them.
• For configurations with two management consoles, if the node hosting the active management
console goes down, it is important to reboot it as soon as possible. The management console on
that node can then assume a passive role and receive updates from the new active management
console. If the node remains down and the node hosting the active management console also
goes down, the cluster configuration data may become inconsistent, depending on the order in
which the nodes are rebooted.
• When the active management console is moved to maintenance mode, a passive management
console will transition to active mode. Be sure that this transition is complete before you move the
previously active management console from maintenance mode to passive mode. (Use the
ibrix_fm -i command to check the mode of each management console.) If the passive
management console has not yet assumed active mode, the management console being moved
from maintenance to passive mode will become active again.
CIFS/SMB
• CIFS/SMB and StoreAll Windows clients cannot be used together because of incompatible AD
user to UID mapping. You can use either CIFS/SMB or StoreAll Windows clients, but not both at
the same time.
• Occasionally a share cannot be mounted using the DNS name. The workaround is to use the IP
address instead.
• The StoreAll CIFS/SMB server does not support connections from Linux SMB clients. The workaround
is to use NFS for Linux.
• Alternate Data Streams (ADS) are not supported. When a file with an ADS is moved or copied
to the CIFS/SMB server, IBRIX OS Software moves/copies the file, but the attached ADS is not
copied. Attempts to create an ADS or a filename containing a colon (:) will be failed by the
CIFS/SMB server. Some older versions of the CIFS/SMB server allowed these ADS files to be
saved as separate files with a colon (:) in their names, such as
testfile.htm:Zone.Identifier or Thumbs.db:encryptable:$DATA. These ADS files
are no longer attached to their original files and can be safely removed if they are not needed.
Because the colon (:) is now illegal in a filename, any ADS files from old CIFS/SMB server versions
must be removed from the Linux command prompt instead of over a CIFS/SMB share. (Attempting
to delete them using CIFS/SMB will fail because of the illegal filename.)
