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
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.
18
Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS Quick Reference Manual • November 2004
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.
Chapter 4 File Volume Operations
19
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.
4. Click Apply to attach the segment to the volume.

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.
Chapter 4 File Volume Operations
23
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.

Creating Immediate Checkpoints
You can choose whether to schedule a checkpoint or create one immediately. See
“Scheduling Checkpoints” on page 23 for information on setting up a regular
checkpoint schedule.
In the Manage Checkpoints panel, you can create immediate checkpoints as well as
rename and remove existing ones. Unlike scheduled checkpoints, which you create
at a pre-determined day and time, you can create immediate checkpoints at any
time.
To Create an Immediate Checkpoint
You can configure a checkpoint immediately instead of on a time schedule.
To create a new checkpoint manually:
1. To create a checkpoint, you must enable checkpoints 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.

Windows Configuration
How to Configure Microsoft Networking
Configuring the domain, workgroup, or Active Directory Service (ADS) is a
Windows function. If you are running a pure UNIX network, you do not need to
configure either Windows Domains or Windows Workgroups.
Enable Windows Workgroup, NT Domain security, or ADS through the Configure
Domains and Workgroups panel. By default, your Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS is
configured in Windows Workgroup mode, with a workgroup name of “workgroup.”
33
To configure Windows security:
1. In the navigation panel, select Windows Configuration > Configure Domains and
Workgroups.
FIGURE 5-1 The Configure Domains and Workgroups Panel
2. To enable Windows domain security, select the Domain option button. This option
creates an account on the domain for this server. You must specify a user account
with rights to add servers to the specified domain.
Then enter the following:
■ Enter the name of the domain in the Domain field. This name must conform to
the 15-character NetBIOS limitation.
■ Enter the name and password of the administrative domain user in the User
Name and Password fields. The user name can be 16 characters or fewer.
3. To enable Windows workgroup security, click the Workgroup option button.
Then enter the following:
■ Enter the name of the workgroup in the Name field. This name must conform to
the 15-character NetBIOS limitation.
■ In the Comments field, enter a description of the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS server
(optional).
4. To enable ADS, click the Enable ADS checkbox. For more detail about ADS, refer
to "How to Publish Shares in ADS" on page 43.
34
Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS Quick Reference Manual • November 2004
Note – Prior to enabling ADS, you must verify that the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS
time is within five minutes of any ADS Windows 2000 domain controller. To verify
the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS time, select System Operations > Set Time and Date
from the navigation panel.
Then enter the following:
■ In the Domain field, enter the Windows 2000 Domain in which ADS is running.
The Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS must belong to this domain.
■ In the User Name field, enter the user name of a Windows 2000 user with
administrative rights. This person must be the domain administrator or a user
who is a member of the domain administrators group. The ADS client verifies
secure ADS updates with this user.
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).
Only the administrator user must do this, and he can reuse the same password. For
more information, refer to the Microsoft Support Services Web site, Article Q248808.
■ In the Password field, enter the Windows 2000 administrative user's password.
■ In the Container field, enter the ADS path location of the Windows 2000
administrative user in Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
distinguished name (DN) notation.
Note – Do not include the domain name in the path.
■ Enter the name of the local ADS site in the Site field.
■ In the Kerberos Realm Info section, enter the Realm name used to identify ADS.
This is normally the ADS domain or the DNS domain. When you click Apply, this
entry is converted to all upper-case letters.
■ In the Server field, enter the host name of the Kerberos Key Distribution Center
(KDC) server. This is usually the host name of the main domain controller in the
ADS domain. You can leave this field blank if the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS can
locate the KDC server through DNS.
5. Click Apply to save your settings. If you change the security mode from
workgroup to NT domain, or vice versa, the server automatically reboots when
you click Apply.

How to Set Up WINS
A WINS server resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses, allowing computers on
your network to locate others more quickly and efficiently.
To add a WINS server:
1. In the navigation panel, select Windows Configuration > Set Up WINS.
FIGURE 5-2 The Set Up WINS Panel
2. To enable WINS, click the Enable WINS checkbox. This allows the Sun StorEdge
5210 NAS server to be a WINS client.
3. Enter the primary and secondary WINS server IP addresses in the spaces provided
(Primary WINS Server and Secondary WINS Server). The primary WINS is the
first server consulted for name resolution. If the primary WINS server does not
respond, the secondary WINS server is consulted.
4. Enter the NetBIOS Scope identifier (optional) in the Scope field. Defining a scope
will prevent this computer from communicating with any systems that are outside
the scope. The scope is useful if you want to divide a large Windows workgroup
into smaller groups. If you use a scope, the scope ID must follow NetBIOS name
conventions or domain name conventions and is limited to 16 characters.

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.
Chapter 5 Windows Configuration
37
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
Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS Quick Reference Manual • November 2004
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.
Chapter 5 Windows Configuration
39
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.
40
Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS Quick Reference Manual • November 2004
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
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.
42
Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS Quick Reference Manual • November 2004
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.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
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 – 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

How to Set Up NFS Exports
NFS exports let you specify access privileges (exports) for UNIX users to specified
volumes. The Exports table shows the current NFS export information, including the
accessible directories, host name, and access level (Read/Write or Read/Only) for
each export.
Any host name beginning with “@” identifies a group of hosts. For instance, a host
name of @general identifies all hosts, and a host name of @trusted identifies all
trusted hosts.
Creating Exports
To specify access privileges for a particular UNIX host:
1. In the navigation panel, select UNIX Configuration > Configure NFS > Configure
Exports.
FIGURE 6-7 The Configure Exports Panel
