NAS Container Security Violation
Multiple Errors Received During File System Format
Description
NAS container security violation.
Cause
Selecting security style for a NAS container dictates the dominant
protocol to be used to set permissions on files in this volume. NFS
for UNIX security style volumes and CIFS for NTFS security
style volumes.
Consequently, this makes some operations invalid:
• Setting UNIX permissions for a file in an NTFS Security
style container.
• Setting UID/GID ownership for a file in an NTFS Security
style container.
• Setting ACL for a file in a UNIX Security style container.
• Changing read-only flag for a file in a UNIX Security
style container.
• Setting SID/GSID ownership for a file on UNIX Security
style container.
The NAS container security style should reflect the main protocol
used to access its files.
Workaround If a user frequently needs to perform a cross-protocol security
related activity, split the data into separate NAS containers based
on the main access protocol.
Description You receive multiple errors during a file system format.
Cause Probable causes may be:
• Wrong SAN IPs are used in the PowerVault NAS Configuration
Utility (NASCU).
• Wrong IQNs used while defining hosts in the MDSM.
• Uneven number of LUNs are mapped to the host group.
• LUN size is below the minimum required size.
• Less than minimum number of required LUNs.
