Microsoft and IBM Networks (SMB)
Setting up the Windows Parameters
In the Microsoft and IBM Network (SMB) environment, you do not need to specify any specific
settings before you can use the StorPoint CD. However, you might want to change the SMB server
name, i.e. the name that will be presented to the Windows and OS/2 clients on the network.
Server Name Parameter
The default SMB server name is AXIS<nnnnnn>, where <nnnnnn> are the last six digits of the
StorPoint CD serial number. We recommend that you choose a more descriptive name,
e.g. CD Server.
Security Mode Parameter
In the Windows (SMB) environment, you select whether you want to use share-level or user-level
access control:
• User-level access control allows you to define access rights based on who the user logged into
the domain as. The StorPoint CD will act as a “member server” in the NT-domain and verify
the memberships against a domain controller on the network. This is the preferred method to
use in Windows NT server based networks. See “User-level Access Control ” on page 19.
• Share-level access control is based on different passwords for different shared discs. No
verification with domain controllers will take place. See “Share-level Access Control ” on page 18.
Installation Wizard
The installation wizard, which is available via the StorPoint CD Web interface, is a convenient way
to set up the StorPoint CD. Follow these steps:
1. From within the Administration Web pages, click Network Settings.
2. Click Wizard . The Network Settings Wizard dialog appears.
