5.5.265 HP StorageWorks X9000 Series Release Notes

If the recovery is not successful, contact HP Support.
• If your cluster uses a dedicated management console, and you want to apply quotas to users and
groups from your Active Directory (AD) domain, take the following steps before assigning the
quotas:
1. Install the likewise-cifs.x86_64.rpm. (This RPM is in the /usr/local/ibrix/
installation/ibrix/distrib/engine/RHEL5/x86-64 directory in the X9000
Software distribution.)
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
nl
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
• CIFS and X9000 Windows clients cannot be used together because of incompatible AD user to
UID mapping. You can use either CIFS or X9000 Windows clients, but not both at the same time.
• The permissions on the directory exporting a CIFS share govern the access rights that are given
to the Everyone user as well as to the owner and group of the share. Consequently, the Everyone
user may have more access rights than necessary. The administrator should set ACLs on the CIFS
share to ensure that users have only the appropriate access rights. Alternatively, permissions can
be set more restrictively on the directory exporting the CIFS share.
• Occasionally a share cannot be mounted using the DNS name. The workaround is to use the IP
address instead.
• The X9000 CIFS server does not support connections from Linux SMB clients. The workaround is
to use NFS for Linux.
• If any AD user is set to UID 0 in Active Directory, you will not be able to connect to CIFS shares
and errors will be reported. Be sure to assign a UID other than 0 to your AD users.
