4.Navigate to Windows Configuration/Manage SMB CIFS Mapping/Configure User Mapping. There you will see radio buttons for each of three user mapping options and each of three group mapping options. The user mapping options are as follows:

■No mapping: This is the default setting. When a new user connects, a new UID is generated by StorEdge. This UID will be one larger than the largest current UID found on the StorEdge. Any desired mapping of SMB users to NFS users must be done manually.

■Map by User Name: This setting specifies that the Windows user’s name is looked up via the configured passwd lookup service. If the lookup is successful, the NFS UID is taken from the matching entry. If the lookup fails, a new UID is generated as with the “no mapping” rule.

■Map by Full Name: This setting specifies that the NT users full name is looked up via the configured passwd lookup service. If the lookup is successful, the NFS UID is taken from the matching entry. If the lookup fails, a new UID is generated as with the “no mapping” rule.

The group mapping options are as follows:

■No mapping: This is the default setting. When a new user connects, a new GID is generated by StorEdge. This GID will be one larger than the largest current GID found on the StorEdge. Any desired mapping of SMB groups to NFS groups must be done manually.

■Map by Group Name: This setting specifies that the NT group name is looked up via the configured group lookup service. If the lookup is successful, the NFS GID is taken from the matching entry. If the lookup fails, a new GID is generated as with the “no mapping” rule.

■Map to Primary Group: This setting specifies that the NT group name is looked up via the configured passwd lookup service, in the primary group field. If the lookup is successful, the NFS GID is taken from the matching entry. If the lookup fails, a new GID is generated as with the “no mapping” rule.

5.To set this up with the StorEdge CLI, connect to the StorEdge via Telnet or serial console.

6.Type “admin” at the [menu] prompt and enter the administrator password.

7.At the CLI, enter “show map*”, this will return the current mapping rules. The syntax to set the user mapping rule is as follows, “set <variable> <mapping rule>”. Replace <variable> with either smb.map.users or smb.map.groups, depending on which mapping rule you wish to set. The options for <mapping rule> all match the descriptions above, as follows:

Valid options for smb.map.users:

■MAP_NONE—No Mapping

■MAP_USERNAME—Map by User Name

5310 NAS specifications

Sun Microsystems, known for its innovative computing solutions, launched the Sun 5310 Network Attached Storage (NAS) system, which marked a significant advancement in the realm of storage solutions in the early 2000s. The 5310 NAS was designed to provide high-performance, reliable, and scalable storage tailored for enterprise environments.

One of the standout features of the Sun 5310 NAS is its file-serving capabilities, which support multiple protocols, notably NFS (Network File System) and CIFS (Common Internet File System). This dual-protocol support allowed organizations to seamlessly integrate the NAS into diverse IT ecosystems, facilitating interoperability between UNIX, Linux, and Windows systems. The enhanced file-sharing capabilities made it an ideal solution for businesses with mixed operating environments.

The Sun 5310 NAS incorporates cutting-edge technologies to ensure high availability and data integrity. The system utilized a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology, providing various RAID levels to protect against data loss while optimizing performance. Additionally, the device featured hot-swappable drives, enabling maintenance and upgrades with minimal downtime, a crucial factor for business continuity.

Equipped with advanced management software, the Sun 5310 NAS offered users an intuitive interface for monitoring storage health and performance. This software included comprehensive reporting functionalities that allowed IT administrators to oversee usage patterns and capacity planning efficiently.

Scalability was another defining characteristic of the Sun 5310 NAS. The system could easily expand with additional storage modules, accommodating the growing needs of an organization without the necessity for complete system overhauls. This flexibility ensured that businesses could adapt their storage solutions to meet evolving data storage needs without incurring significant costs or disruptions.

In terms of performance, the Sun 5310 NAS featured high I/O throughput achieved through its robust hardware architecture and optimized file serving capabilities. This performance baseline was crucial for organizations that relied on heavy data workloads and required rapid access to information.

In summary, the Sun 5310 NAS from Sun Microsystems embodied a forward-thinking approach to network storage, blending reliability, scalability, and multi-protocol support. Its user-friendly management software, combined with the robustness of RAID technology and hot-swappable drives, made it a preferred choice for enterprises looking to streamline their storage infrastructure while safeguarding critical data.
