6.0 HP StorageWorks X9000 File Serving Software Release Notes (TA768-96042, October 2011)

available from the file serving node to which Windows Share Management was connected, it
will not be propagated to the other file serving nodes in the cluster.
• The ibrix_localusers -i <user information> command fails if the user information
includes commas. To enter commas in the user information, use the management console GUI
instead of the CLI.
• When you use the Windows security tab to add local users or groups to a security ACL on a CIFS
file (for either file or share-level permissions), you typically specify the user to add as either a
DOMAIN\username or a MACHINE\username. On X9000 systems, local users are displayed
as LOCAL\username, and it may seem like you should specify LOCAL\username in the Add
dialog box in Windows. However, in this case, the Windows client cannot interpret LOCAL.
Instead, specify the machine name of the server. For example, to add LOCAL\user1 to an ACL
on a CIFS file shared out by serverX, specify serverX\user1 in the Add dialog box on the
security tab. If you later use the Windows security tab to look at this ACL, the server name will
have been replaced by LOCAL (the CIFS server performs this remapping to ensure that local users
are symmetric between all servers in the cluster, and are not specific to any one machine name
in the cluster.)
• When joining a CIFS domain, the $ character cannot be used in passwords unless it is escaped
with a slash (\) and enclosed in single quotes (' '). For example:
ibrix_auth -n IB.LAB -A john -P 'password1\$like'
• If you are using a Windows Vista client and running more than a single copy of Robocopy from
that client, a hang is possible. The work around is to disable the SMB2 protocol in the registry.
To modify the registry, take the following steps on each file serving node:
1. Enter the Registry Editor:
/opt/likewise/bin/lw-edit-reg
2. Locate the following entry:
"SupportSmb2"=dword:00000001
Change the entry to:
"SupportSmb2"=dword:00000000
3. Restart the likewise server:
/etc/init.d/lwreg stop
/opt/likewise/bin/lwsm start srvsvc
You may also need to restart the Windows client, as the original negotiated protocol, SMB2, may
be cached by the client. Restarting the client renegotiates the protocol back to SMB1.
• Be sure to remove Active Directory users from the X9000 share admin list before removing them
from Active Directory. If you remove an Active Directory user from Active Directory before removing
the user from the X9000 share admins list, an error is reported when you attempt to change the
share admins list. If you are seeing errors from this situation, rejoin Active Directory and remove
all share admins. For example:
ibrix_auth -n ib.lab -A [e-mail] -P fusion -S "share
admins="
Then run ibrix_auth again to specify the new list of share admins:
ibrix_auth -t -S "share admins=[ib\Administrator]"
