HP StorageWorks X5000, Release Note

Page: 25 / 39

NFS clients and Services for NFS
Workaround HP engineers are working to resolve this issue. In the meantime, if the fi le must be
modi fi ed from Windows, use the following workaround:
1. On a Windows machine, make a copy of the fi le.
2.
Delete the original fi le.
3. Rename the copied fi le to the original fi le name.
Issue:
Administrator/root username mapping not working
Description
An issue occurs when the Windows local administrator is mapped to the UNIX
root user, and the local administrators group is mapped to the UNIX group id of
the root user (for example, sys). When a fi le is created by the Windows local
administrator on an NFS share, the fi le will have owner nobody and group
nogroup (4292967294 on Linux) when viewed from the NFS client. This issue
applies to the following storage servers using Service for Unix version 3.5 (SFU
3.5): HP ProLiant Storage Server DL100, ML110, ML110 G2, ML350 G4, ML370
G4/G4p, DL380 G4, DL585, and HP StorageWorks NAS 500s.
Workaround HP engineers are working to resolve this issue. In the meantime, use the
chown
command on the NFS client to set the owner and group.
Issue:
Large I/O on an NFS mount point hangs NFS server
Description
Large I/O on an NFS mount point hangs NFS server.
Workaround If you experience a problem with the NFS server not responding, increase the
read/write buffer size.
Increase the buffer size by changing the mount options to:
mount -o rsize=32768,wsize=32768 server:/share /mount
If the NFS client is in a hung state, the client may need to be rebooted and the NFS
server service may need to be restarted on the storage server. To restart the NFS
server service on the storage server, do the following:
1. Open a command prompt.
2. Type
net stop nfssvc
.
3. Type
net start nfssvc
.
Issue:
CIFS client and Explorer on the server are not able to open NFS client created fi les
Description
After you delete fi les from a location that is shared by Server for NFS, the fi les do
not immediately go away. Although the fi les seem to remain, you cannot use the
fi les. This problem can also cause a message that states that the fi le is in use
when you try to save the fi le from a program on the server or from an SMB client
computer. Both symptoms last for approximately 30 seconds.
Workaround After 30 seconds, the fi le will disappear from the Explorer window, and you can
save new versions of the fi le.
Issue:
File sizes are not re fl ecting properly on server
Description
If you mount a Windows share from an NFS client and copy fi les onto the same
NFS share, the accurate size of the fi les may not be immediately displayed on
the storage server.
Workaround The storage server may take a few minutes to re fl ect the correct fi le size.
Issue:
Clearing the NFS log via the WebUI causes the log fi le to become inaccessible
