What is Unicode?
GuardianOS supports Unicode. Unicode defines a universal means of representing
characters in all languages. In the case of Snap Servers, this allows better
interoperation of varying languages using different alphabets and character sets in
file and user names. More information is available at
http://www.unicode.org
.
Caution
Once Unicode has been enabled on a GuardianOS Snap Server, it is not
possible to disable Unicode. Enabling Unicode will alter the functionality of some
third party applications and SnapExtensions that do not fully support Unicode.
Converting to Unicode
To convert your GuardianOS Snap Server to Unicode, complete the following steps:
Step 1: Make a DRImage of your current system and volume settings
Before converting your system to Unicode, configure all system and volume
settings, then make a DRImage of your system and volume(s). This is to ensure all
your settings and data are saved should something unforeseen happen during the
Unicode conversion process. For more information about creating a DRImage,
please see “Disaster Recovery Procedural Overview” on page 107.
