File Volume Operations  
File System Concepts  
The following commonly used terms are briefly described in the following list.  
RAID  
RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. RAID systems allow data  
to be distributed to multiple drives through an array controller for greater data  
security and recoverability. The Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS offers a RAID 5 array. For  
more information on RAID and RAID types, see your RAID controller  
documentation.  
LUN  
LUN stands for Logical Unit Number. A LUN is a logical device, meaning it is  
defined in software and does not necessarily conform to a physical device. In the  
context of network attached storage (the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS) the LUN defines a  
block of storage space, which must be organized and subdivided to be used  
effectively.  
17  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
Partition  
Partitions are sections on a LUN. Each LUN can have a maximum of four partitions.  
Each partition can either have space allocated to it or be empty. When a LUN is first  
created, all of the available space is located in the first partition, while the other  
three partitions are empty. Each partition can “contain” only one file volume.  
File Volume  
File volumes are organized amounts of available storage space and are created from  
partitions. The file volume is the space where the user stores information. If the  
volume does not use up all of the available space in a partition, the remaining space  
is automatically allocated to the next partition. After four volumes are created on a  
LUN, any remaining space is inaccessible.  
Segment  
A segment is a portion of a partition that can be attached to an existing file volume  
to increase its size. Segments can be “attached” to an existing file volume at any  
time. If a file volume is nearly full, attaching a segment gives the users more space to  
store data in. See “How to Attach Segments” on page 20 for more information.  
How to Create File Volumes and  
Segments  
Every new file volume is limited to 255GB in size. If you want a larger file volume,  
create one primary volume and up to 63 segments per LUN. Then attach the  
segment(s) to the primary volume to increase its size. For more information about  
attaching segments, refer to “How to Attach Segments” on page 20.

To create a file volume or segment:  
1. In the navigation panel, select File Volume Operations > Create File Volumes.  
FIGURE 4-1 The Create File Volumes Panel  
2. In the LUN box, click the LUN where you want to create the primary file volume.  
The partition number for the file volume in the Partition drop-down list will  
automatically increment when the file volume is created.  
3. Type in the name of the new volume or segment in the Name field.  
Valid characters include alphanumeric (a–z, A–Z, 0–9) and “_” (underscore)  
characters. The name must be 12 characters or fewer and must begin with an  
alphabetical character (a–z, A–Z).  
4. Select the file volume type (Primary or Segment).  
5. Select whether the size of the file volume is reported in MB (megabytes) or GB  
(gigabytes) by clicking on the drop-down list.  
6. Type in the file volume size you want in whole numbers. The total space available  
is shown directly beneath this field.  
7. Click Apply to create the new file volume or segment.

You can add segments to existing primary volumes to increase the volume’s total  
size. You can attach a segment from the same LUN or from a different LUN. Once  
you add a segment to a volume, you cannot remove it.  
You must create a segment before you can attach it to a volume. See “How to Create  
File Volumes and Segments” on page 18 for information on creating segments.  
To attach a segment:  
1. In the navigation panel, select File Volume Operations > Attach Segments.  
FIGURE 4-2 The Attach Segments Panel  
2. Select the primary volume you are expanding from the Existing Volumes column.  
3. Select the segment you are attaching from the Available Segments column.

How to Create Sun StorEdge File  
Checkpoints  
About Checkpoints  
A checkpoint is a virtual read-only copy of a primary file volume. The file volume  
remains in read/write operation. However, all of the data existing at the time you  
created the checkpoint is still available. You can use a checkpoint to retrieve files that  
you have mistakenly modified or deleted and to stabilize backups.  
Remember that a checkpoint is a virtual, or imaginary, copy of the file volume. It is  
not an online backup. If the file volume is lost, so are all of the checkpoints.  
Note – If your users create or modify many files, the system may require a large  
amount of storage to retain multiple checkpoint sets of older file versions. The more  
checkpoints you create, the more it effect it may have on system performance.  
Scheduling Checkpoints  
The Schedule Checkpoints panel displays the current checkpoint schedule and lets  
you add, edit, and remove scheduled checkpoints. For each scheduled checkpoint,  
you can see the file volume name, a description, the scheduled time(s) and day(s),  
and the amount of time the system will keep the checkpoint. The keep time is the  
number of days plus the number of hours before the checkpoint is automatically  
deleted.

Adding an Entry to the Checkpoint Schedule  
When you add a checkpoint to the table, the system automatically sets up a new  
checkpoint for the times and dates you request. You can schedule as many  
checkpoints as you want. However, the system uses a large amount of space and  
system memory for checkpoints. The more checkpoints you create, the more they  
affect system performance.  
To add a schedule line:  
1. The first step in scheduling checkpoints is to enable them for the file volume. If  
you have not already enabled checkpoints, do so:  
a. In the navigation panel, select File Volume Operations > Edit Properties.  
b. Click the Volume Name drop-down list and select the volume on which you  
want to enable checkpoints.  
c. Be sure the Enable Checkpoints box is checked ( ). By default, this box is  
checked. If not, select the box and click Apply.  
2. In the navigation panel, select File Volume Operations > Configure Checkpoints >  
Schedule Checkpoints.

Windows Shares  
About Shares  
A shared resource, or share, is a local resource on a server that is accessible to  
Windows clients on the network. On a NAS server, it is typically a file volume or a  
sub-tree within a volume. Each share is assigned a name by which it is referenced on  
the network. To clients on the network, the share appears as a complete volume on  
the server, and they do not see the local directory path directly above the root of the  
share.  
Note – Shares and directories are independent entities. Removing a share does not  
affect the underlying directory.  
Shares are used to provide network access to home directories on a network file  
server. Each user is assigned a home directory within a file volume. A share is then  
created to let that user assign their home directory as a network drive on a client  
workstation. For example, a volume vol1 may contain a home directory named  
home, and subdirectories for users bob and sally. The shares would be defined as  
follows:  
TABLE 5-1  
Share Path Examples  
Share Name  
bob  
Directory Path  
/vol1/home/bob  
/vol1/home/sally  
sally  
If manually defining and maintaining a home directory share for each Windows user  
is inconvenient, you may want to use the autohome feature. Autohome shares are  
temporary shares created when a user logs on to the system and removed when the  
user logs off.  
Static shares are persistent resources that remain defined regardless of whether or  
not users are attached to the server. Autohome shares are temporary shares created  
when a user logs on to the system and removed when the user logs off. See “About  
Autohome Shares” on page 41 for more information.

How to Configure Shares  
The table at the top of Configure Shares panel (in the Windows Configuration folder)  
shows information about all existing SMB shares in the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS.  
This includes the share name and directories shared and information concerning  
Windows Workgroups only (user and group information, Read/Write password, and  
Read/Only password).  
Note – After you create a volume, you must first create a share for the entire  
volume. Then users can access the volume and create directories. Once directories  
exist on the volume, you can create individual shares for each directory.  
Creating Shares  
You must create a file volume before you can create a share.  
To add a new SMB share:  
1. In the navigation panel, select Windows Configuration > Configure Shares.  
FIGURE 5-3 The Configure Shares Panel  
38

2. Click Add to display the Add Share dialog box.  
FIGURE 5-4 The Add Share Dialog Box  
3. Type the name of the share you want to add in the Share Name field. This is the  
name that users see on the network. There is a fifteen-character maximum for this  
field. The following characters are invalid:  
= | : ; \ “ ? < > * /  
4. Optionally, add a Comment to describe the share.  
5. Select the Desktop DB Calls checkbox in the Mac Extensions section if you want  
to let the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS access and set Macintosh desktop database  
information. This speeds up Macintosh client file access and allows non-  
Macintosh clients to access Macintosh files on the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS.  
6. Select the volume to be shared from the list of available volumes in the Volume  
Name drop-down list.  
7. Enter an existing directory in the Directory field. You cannot create a directory in  
this field. Directory names are case-sensitive.

8. The Container field (optional) specifies the ADS container in which the share is  
published. This field is available only if you have enabled ADS for the Sun  
StorEdge 5210 NAS in the Set Up ADS panel. Enter the path in terms of the  
share’s cn (common name) folder or ou (organizational unit). The cn folders are  
default folders in the root folder. All other containers are ou folders.  
For example, if the share resides in a “shares” organizational folder within an  
organizational parent folder called “accounting,” you would type the following:  
ou=shares,ou=accounting  
Note – Do not include the domain name in the path.  
9. The User ID, Group ID, and Password fields are only available if you enable  
Windows Workgroup mode (not NT Domain mode) on the Sun StorEdge 5210  
NAS. See “How to Configure Microsoft Networking” on page 33 for information  
on enabling Windows security models.  
Windows Workgroup uses share-level security. The User ID (UID), Group ID (GID),  
and password fields in this screen are the sole means of security for Sun StorEdge  
5210 NAS file ownership and access by Windows Workgroup users. In other words,  
the rights to a directory are determined by the share definition not by the user. The  
Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS assumes that the client has not authenticated any request  
and explicitly asks for permission through passwords for every share-connection  
request.  
You can create multiple shares for the same directory with different UIDs, GIDs, and  
passwords. You can then give each user a password for a specific share. You can also  
manage individual user and group limitations on the amount of file volume space  
and number of files used through quotas. For more information about quotas, refer  
to the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS Software Installation, Configuration, and User Guide.  
a. User ID and Group ID – Enter the UID and GID of the user accessing the  
specified directory through this share. The default value for this field is “0”  
(zero), which is the value of the UNIX root user. However, be careful when you  
assign this value. In Windows Workgroup mode, entering zero in these fields  
disables all security on all files and directories in that share.  
b. R/W Password – Enter the password for Windows Workgroup users who have  
read/write access to the directories specified for this share.  
c. Confirm R/W Password – Re-enter the R/W password for confirmation.  
d. R/O Password – Enter the password for Windows Workgroup users who have  
read-only access to the directories specified for this share.  
e. Confirm R/O Password – Re-enter the R/O password for confirmation.

10. In the Umask field, enter the file creation mask, if any, you want to apply to this  
share. The umask defines the security policy for files and directories created in  
Share mode. It specifies the permission bits to turn off when a file is created.  
The umask is defined in octal because octal numbers comprise three bits, which  
maps easily to the UNIX file permission representation. The umask is applied using  
standard UNIX rules, except for the DOS read-only attribute. If the DOS read-only  
attribute is set when the file is created, all write bits will be removed from the file’s  
permissions after the umask has been applied.  
The following table shows umask to permission examples, including the effect of the  
DOS read-only attribute.

How to Configure Autohome Shares  
About Autohome Shares  
The SMB/CIFS autohome share feature eliminates the administrative task of  
defining and maintaining home directory shares for each Windows user accessing  
the system. The system creates autohome shares when a user logs on and removes  
them when the user logs off.  
To configure the autohome feature, enable it and provide an autohome path. The  
autohome path is the base directory path for the directory shares. For example, if a  
user’s home directory is /vol1/home/sally, set the autohome path to /vol1/home.  
The temporary share is named sally. The user’s home directory name must be the  
same as the user’s logon name.  
Chapter 5 Windows Configuration  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
41  
       
When a user logs on, the server checks for a subdirectory that matches the user’s  
name. If a match is found and that share does not already exist, a temporary share is  
added. When the user logs off, the share is removed.  
Windows clients can automatically log a user off after fifteen minutes of inactivity,  
which results in the autohome share disappearing from the list of published shares.  
This is normal CIFS protocol behavior. If the user clicks on the server name or  
otherwise attempts to access the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS (for example, through an  
Explorer window), the share automatically reappears.  
Note – All autohome shares are removed when the system reboots.  
Configuring Autohome Shares  
To enable autohome shares:  
1. In the navigation panel, select Windows Configuration > Configure Autohome.  
FIGURE 5-5 The Configure Autohome Shares Panel  
2. Select the Enable Autohome checkbox.  
3. Enter the Autohome Path. See “About Autohome Shares” on page 41 for the path  
name rules.

4. Enter the ADS Container. This specifies the ADS container in which the shares  
are published. The shares are published in ADS only if you configure ADS for the  
Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS in the Set Up ADS panel.  
Enter the path using the share’s cn (common name) folder or ou (organizational  
unit). The cn folders are default folders in the root folder. All other folders are ou  
folders. For example, if the share resides in a “shares” organizational folder within  
an organizational parent folder called “home,” you type:  
ou=shares, ou=home  
Note – Do not include the domain name in the path.

How to Publish Shares in ADS  
Active Directory Service (ADS) is a Windows 2000 namespace integrated with the  
Domain Name Server (DNS). ADS runs only on domain controllers. In addition to  
storing and making data available, ADS also protects network objects from  
unauthorized access and replicates objects across a network so that data is not lost if  
a domain controller fails. When you enable and set up ADS, the Sun StorEdge 5210  
NAS automatically performs ADS updates.  
In order for the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS to integrate seamlessly into a Windows 2000  
Active Directory environment, the following items must exist on the network:  
A Windows 2000 server domain controller  
An Active Directory-integrated DNS server allowing dynamic updates (needed in  
order to use the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS Dynamic DNS capability) should be  
used but is not required for using ADS.  
After setting up ADS, you can enable ADS to publish specific Sun StorEdge 5210  
NAS shares in the ADS directory. To do so, create or update Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS  
SMB shares and specify the share container for each share you want to publish.

Note – If you enter the domain administrator name here and the ADS update fails,  
you must change the domain administrator password (on the domain controller).  
This is only required for the administrator user and the same password may be  
reused. For more information, refer to the Microsoft Support Services Web site,

Setting Up NIS+  
Network Information Service Plus (NIS+) was designed to replace NIS, and is the  
new default naming service for Solaris OS. NIS+ provides limited support to NIS  
clients, but mainly addresses problems that NIS cannot address.  
Note – There is no relation between NIS+ and NIS. The commands and the overall  
structure of NIS+ are different from NIS.  
To set up NIS+:  
1. For the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS to function correctly in an NIS+ environment, you  
must add the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS server to the host credential file on the  
NIS+ server. At your NIS+ server:  
a. Log in as root.  
b. Enter the following command:  
nisaddcred –p unix.SERVER.@DOMAIN -P SERVER.DOMAIN. des  
where SERVERis the name of the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS server, and DOMAINis  
the name of the NIS+ domain that the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS is joining.  
Note – You must add a period to the end of the domain name only after the -P  
argument.  
For example, if the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS is named SS2, and its NIS+ domain is  
sun.com, enter the following command:  
nisaddcred –p [email protected] –P ss2.sun.com. des  
c. You are prompted for a password. This password is also used later in this  
procedure for configuring the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS to use NIS+. Enter the  
password.  
2. From a remote workstation, open a Web browser window to the Sun StorEdge  
5210 NAS server and log into Web Administrator.

11. Enter the Secure RPC Password for the NIS+ server. This is the password that was  
set during step 1.c.  
12. Enter the Search Path as a colon-separated list of domains. The search path  
identifies the domains that NIS+ searches through when looking for information.  
Leave this space empty to search only the home domain and its parents.  
For example: If the NIS+ domain is eng.sun.com.and the search path is left blank,  
Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS first searches eng.sun.com.then sun.com.when  
resolving names. Conversely, specifying a search path such as sun.com.instructs  
Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS to search only in the domain of sunwhen resolving names.  
13. Select the Use Broadcast checkbox if you do not know the IP address of the home  
domain server.
