3.7.0 HP StorageWorks HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software administration guide - HP Scalable NAS 3.7 for Linux (AG513-96002, October 2009)

Edit Samba configuration files
Samba is configured via the smb.conf file. When Samba is used with HP Scalable
NAS, you will need to configure two versions of the file:
• /etc/samba/smb.default. This file is used on servers that are not currently
hosting a virtual Samba server. For example, a node is being used as a standby
node for Samba or the virtual host has been shut down for some reason. The file
is copied over any smb.conf file in the /etc/samba directory.
• /etc/samba/smb.conf.<virtual-server>. The configuration file for a
particular virtual Samba server. You will need to create a separate
smb.conf.<virtual-server> file for each virtual Samba server and ensure
that the file’s suffix matches the virtual Samba server name.
NOTE:
HP Scalable NAS automatically generates the smb.conf file when it starts the
Samba services via the smb_meth script described below. The smb.conf file is
created from smb.default when no virtual Samba servers are active on the node
and should not be edited directly. Do not use any GUI tools such as YaST to configure
Samba, as they will modify and overwrite the smb.conf file.
Templates for the smb.default and /etc/samba/
smb.conf.<virtual-server> files are available in the /etc/samba directory
on each server.
smb.default
This file is used on servers that are not currently hosting a virtual Samba server and
represents the common Samba parameters used for all shares. This is case for a node
in a standby configuration or when existing virtual Samba servers have been stopped
(in effect, the file is a placeholder). This file must be the same on all servers.
The following parameters are set in the file:
[global]
netbios name = %h
workgroup = WORKGROUP
smb ports = 139
encrypt passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No
