MAP_FULLNAME—Map by Full Name

Valid options for smb.map.groups:

MAP_NONE—No Mapping

MAP_GROUPNAME—Map by Group Name

MAP_UNIXGID—Map to Primary Group

Example: set smb.map.users MAP_USERNAME will define the mapping rule for users to Map by User Name.

Note – All variable names and values are case sensitive. After setting any variables on the StorEdge, i.e. anytime the “set” command is used, the command "savevars" must be entered at the command line in order for the settings to persist though future server reboots.

How do I modify existing user and group credential mappings?

User and group mappings are stored in the configuration files users.map and group.map. We provide a menu interface to edit these mappings. This will be necessary in cases where the NFS user account name does not match the SMB user account name; and in cases where mapping was not configured prior to migration of users and data.

To access this functionality, proceed as follows:.

1.Access the StorEdge via Telnet or serial console.

2.Press [Enter] at the [menu] prompt and enter the administrator password.

3.Press the spacebar until “CIFS/SMB Configuration” is displayed under “Extensions” at the lower right.

4.Select the letter corresponding to “CIFS/SMB Configuration”.

5.Select the letter corresponding to “User Mapping”. (Or “Group Mapping” for groups)

This will bring up a list of all existing user maps, ten per page. If there are more than ten, select option “1” and option “3” to move through the pages. For each user, there is a Windows username, domain and RID on the left side of the screen. The RID is roughly equivalent to the NFS UID or GID. RID information is stored in a database

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.
