37 Setting Up the Dell™ DR Series System on BridgeHead® Healthcare Data Management | April 2015
A Creating a storage device for CIFS
There are two scenarios for BridgeHead HDM to authenticate to a DR Series system through CIFS.
1. DR is joined into an Active Directory Domain: Integrate BridgeHead HDM and DR Series system
with Active Directory
a. Ensure the Active Directory user has appropriate ACLs to the DR Series system container share.
b. When creating an object, set the Backup Node of BridgeHead HDM to run with this AD user
<Domain\User>.
2. DR is standalone CIFS server: Make sure this CIFS user has appropriate access permission to the
DR Series system container share. The BridgeHead HDM Backup Node will use this user to
authenticate to the DR Series system share in Workgroup mode.
To set the password for the local CIFS administrator on the DR Series system, log on to the DR
Series system using SSH.
a. Log on with username: Administrator and password: St0r@ge!
b. Run the following command:
Authenticate --set --user administrator
Note: The CIFS administrator account is a separate account from the administrator account used to
administer the appliance. After an authentication method is chosen, set the BridgeHead Healthcare Data
Management service account to use the CIFS administrator account.
