HP ProLiant Storage Server with Windows Storage Server 2003 SP1 - Release Notes (378129-401, October 2006)

NFS c lients and S ervices for NFS
Description
When clearing the NFS logs via the WebUI, the log file clears, but the file
permissions are set incorrectly. Access to the log c:\SFU\logs with Windows
Explorer is denied.
Workaround
Stop the Server for NFS service, clear the N FS log, and then start the Server for
NFS service. The log file is then accessible.
Issue:
NFS administrative shares support
Description
Services for NFS does not work with administrative shares in the same fashion
as CIFS.
Workaround
By default, a volume drive such as C: is CIFS shared as C$. This is an example of
an administrative share and is hidden to CIFS clients. If an NFS share is created
and named drive$, as in the example, the share is not hidden from NFS clients.
This NFS share acts as a normal NFS sha re.
Issue:
Volume mou
nt points support
Description
Attempting to create an NFS s hare on a disk mounted on a mount point results
in the error:
Cannot write IOCTL to NFS driver…
The storage server supports many network sharing protocols including the NFS
protocol for U NIX® and Linux clients. Shares for which the NFS protocol are
enabled must be created on logical disks that are mounted on a drive letter.
Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 supports mounting virtual disks onto
mount points or reparse points created on another disk already mounted on
adriveletter.
Mount points enable the administrator to mount many disk devices under a single
drive letter, creating the appearance and behavior of a larger disk drive with a
contiguous namespace. However, the Microsoft Services for NFS Server does not
yet support the functionality of mount points.
Workaround
All logical disks to be used for NFS sharing should be mounted on a drive letter,
not on a reparse or mount point. If no NFS shares will be created on a par ticular
logical disk, that virtua l disk may be mounted on a mount point instead of a drive
letter.
Issue:
Administrator cannot list and map domain users and groups for NFS mapping unless the NFS
administrator is logged into the domain
Desc
ription
The administrator cannot list and map domain users and groups for NFS mapping
unless the NFS administrator is logged into the domain.
Workaround
The administrator must log into the domain before mapping domain users and
groups. If the administrator is not logged into the domain, the domain user or
group is not on the list of Windows users or groups and cannot be mapped.
Issue:
User name mapping Japanese characters
Description
User name mapping for the network file system (NFS) server does not support
UNIX user names containing Japanese characters.
Workaround
Th
e names of NFS client groups that are used by the NFS server cannot contain
Ja
panese characters.
Issue:
C
omments in Password and Group file are not recognized
