Synchronizing Active Directory 2008 with the NTP server used by the cluster
It is important to synchronize Active Directory with the NTP server used by the StoreAll cluster. Run
the following commands on the PDC:
net stop w32time
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"<NTP server>"
w32tm /config /reliable:yes
net start w32time
To check the configuration, run the following command:
w32tm /query /configuration
Consolidating SMB servers with common share names
If your SMB servers previously used the same share names, you can consolidate the servers without
changing the share name requested on the client side. For example, you might have three SMB
servers, SRV1, SRV2, and SRV3, that each have a share named DATA. SRV3 points to a shared
drive that has the same path as \\SRV1\DATA; however, users accessing SRV3 have different
permissions on the share.
To consolidate the three servers, we will take these steps:
1. Assign Vhost names SRV1, SRV2, and SRV3.
2. Create virtual interfaces (VIF) for the IP addresses used by the servers. For example, Vhost
SRV1 has VIF 99.10.10.101 and Vhost SRV2 has VIF 99.10.10.102.
3. Map the old share names to new share names. For example, map \\SRV1\DATA to new
share srv1-DATA, map \\SRV2\DATA to new share srv2-DATA, and map \\SRV3\DATA
to srv3-DATA.
