HP CIFS Server 2.2m Release Note version A.01.11.05

HP CIFS Server Release Note
Updating from version A.01.07 or earlier
Chapter 1 11
Updating from version A.01.07 or earlier
Please consider the following issues when updating:
Printer Driver • If you do not intend to use the new Windows NT/XP/2000 printer
driver support feature, nothing should be done. All of the existing
configuration parameters for printer services will continue to work
as before
• If you want to take advantage of the new NT/XP/2000 printer driver
support features, but do not want to update the Windows 9x drivers
to the new setup, then use the existing printers.def file
• If you install a Windows 9x driver for a printer on the HP CIFS
Server, the new setup information will take precedence, and the
three old parameters (printer driver, printer driver file and
printer driver location) will be ignored
• If you have a printer installed on a HP CIFS Server version A.01.07
or below, and you update to Server version A.01.08 or higher, you
must reboot the Windows client to make the printer work under
version A.01.08 or higher
Configuration • smbpasswd file required for use in POSIX ACL management
HP-UX users must be entered into the smbpasswd file in order to
properly enumerate user names when manipulating POSIX ACLs.
Unlike previous versions that directly queried the UNIX user
database, version A.01.08 and higher will always access the
smbpasswd file when displaying user names on the local machine.
The command line tool syncsmbpasswd is provided to help populate
the smbpsswd file.
HP-UX Resources • Kernel Parameters
HP CIFS Server version, A.01.08 and higher, utilizes system
resources differently from previous versions. The following HP-UX
kernel parameters must be adjusted accordingly:
— NFILES - total number of open files per system
Each smbd process will initially open 23 files for internal use.
However, clients will open more files during a session. Therefore,
as a minimum, the number of nfiles should be:
