Hi,

Im also be setting up the mixed environment in celerra. Im just confused.

Correct me if im wrong. Im just want to clarify that when you say mixed policy, whatever changes i made in permissions in cifs it will be synchronized in nfs?

For exmaple, if the user has an r-w-x permissions and then later on i will change that into read only, it will automatically synchronize to unix permissions?

When the user acces the nfs share,  his/her permissions to that file will be read only?

Thanks!

Hi All,

How can i convert a filesystem with native policy into mixed policy?

The filesytem is already in production and mounted as cifs share.

Thanks in advance.

there is a utility to convert permission between access policy thats mentioned in the Celerra CIFS multi-protocol manual

however - multi-protocol is a complex thing that also relies on user mapping and the mixed access policy doesnt always give you the results you think

thats not really a Celerra fault - its just not possible to fully "map" Windows ACLs to the simplistic Unix user-group-owner permissions

I would strongly suggest to get some EMC professional service help or at least setup some test file systems or try with a Celerra Simulator before jumping in and changing production setups and data

sorry to bring up this old topic but

I seem to be having issues with implementing NFS V4 on Solaris 10

whenever I try to do a chown on a file/dir that's on the NFS mountpoint

I get permission denied, even as root

I looked at the log on the datamover and it says unable to map owner=(username)

there seems to be a user mapping issue, LDAP is not configured for our UNIX environment, users/groups are managed via IDM

any suggestions?

thanks
