Primary usermappers on two NS - any way to resolve?
Hi!
We are currently running two NS120 in two different sites. We only have CIFS clients. We have multiple filesystems and CIFS servers in multiple domains. VDMs and FSes are replicated between NSes and they are active/active. Unfortunately we only have primary/primary usermappers, not recommended primary/secondary. If we are using quotas - is there any way to fix situation? We are planning of decommisioning NSes and will be introducing two VNX systems instead. We are planning to use ReplicatorV2.
P.S.
Another question - what would actually happen with quotas when FSes are failed over in this situation? Users would just receive wrong quotas?

Raimonds.
Hello Raimonds,
You are quotas are not enforced to the right users…
So because both site are active; the usermapper configuration change will impact the site that will run the secondary usermapper;
My advice would be to wait your move to the VNX, and perform this operation at that time…
è You will have to perform a “chown” of every file/directory on the Celerra/VNX that will become the usermapper secondary;
è (you should be able to do this operation with fsscan and fsperm tools as well)
