Sujit - I thinks you'd have to be able to do a 'snap restore' on the aggregate to a snapshot previous to the time you destroyed the volume and the LUN to bring them back from the dead. It looks like aggregate snapshots were turned off, so you don't have any aggregate snapshots to restore to. You may wish to read the 'aggregate snapshots' posting noted in my 'Featured Member' release... I hope this response has been helpful to you. At your service, Eugene E.

Regis - You don't need to clone on the remote side. You can break the mirror, and then mount it r/w on the remote side. This includes mounting the repositories on the remote. After the primary is recovered from the disaster you can resync the mirror back to the primary. Another option is to use Oracle Data Guard to replicate the database and handle the failover, with snapmirror replicating transactions. This is the model Oracle implements between their data centers.

Use a unix security style file system on the volume. sec=secflavor[:secflavor]... The security flavor of none can also be applied to an export. If the client uses this flavor, then all requests get the effective UID of the anonymous user. Also, if a request arrives with a security context which is not present in the export, and none is allowed, then that request is treated as if it arrived with the flavor of none. You can use anon= to map anonymous to any UID you want. Use a method of multiprotocol to map all Windows users to anonymous - usermap.cfg or ` wafl.default_unix_user Specifies the UNIX user account to use when an authenticated NT user did not match an entry in the usermap.cfg file. If this option is set to the null string, NT users which are not matched in the usermap.cfg file will not be allowed to log in. The default value for this option is `pcuser'. The problem with this on the windows side is that it will do this for all cifs shares, not just this share. You may wish to do this on a vfiler. I hope this response has been more helpful to you.

Generate your own self signed certificates by IP ? You'd still have to install the root certs on clients. This is a valid work around for the certs on filers.

Welcome to the community ! You can connect a serial cable to it and reboot. Press ctrl-c when prompted to get a boot menu. Option #3 on the menuy will let you reset the root password.

Welcome to NetApp Communities ! The 2040 only has only so many ports. A virtual NIC, or VIF, is 802.3ad link aggregation - also refered to as 'ether channel'. You'd need to configure switch ports to support this. There's also the concept of VLANs, or 'trunking' port groups that you can implement on virtual or physical interfaces. You can read the 'Networking Guide' in your Data ONTAP docs for more information. See also - the 'vif' command and the 'vlan' command. Also - the 2040 controlers have the remote management ports available for management traffic ... You mention top/bottom ports. On the 2040 those are seperate controllers. There is the Installation Guide for the 2040: https://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/hardware/filer/210-04471+B0.pdf I hope this response has been helpful to you. At your service, Eugene E.

Auf Deutsch: Benny - Default Freigabeberechtigungen für die neuen Aktien ist Jeder / Vollzugriff. Getrennt von Freigabeberechtigungen ist Ordner / Datei-Berechtigungen. Vielleicht haben Sie optimiert, um Ordner-Berechtigungen, um das Problem zu beheben? In einer CIFS Umgebung können Sie verwalten die NetApp mit "Computerverwaltung" von Windows, soviel Sie möchten eine native Windows-Dateiserver zu verwalten. Ich ermutige Windows-Administratoren zu tun, da es ein vertrautes Werkzeug für sie ist. Ich hoffe, diese Antwort hat für Sie hilfreich. Zu Ihren Diensten, Eugen E.

English response: Benny - Default share permissions for new shares is Everyone/Full Control. Seperate from share permissions is folder/file permissions. Maybe you tweaked to folder permissions to fix the problem ? In a CIFS environment you can administer the NetApp using 'Computer Management' from Windows, much as you would administer a native Windows file server. I encourage Windows admins to do so, as it is a familiar tool for them. I hope this response has been helpful to you. At your service, Eugene E.

Google translation: Hi, end of June we received a FAS2040, which was also established for the delivery of a Fujitus technician. The storage is far too easily and we noticed that we occasionally have problems with the Andministration CIFS shares. If I for example on the production system and create a new volume of this presentation, then added "Everyone" full access to the share permissions and Everyone Vollzugrif in the NTFS permissions. are set is needed here, then rumparametriert until forever until the desired permissions. On the ONTAP Simulator, I got it, anyway, hammer out a way that has Everyone Full Control on the share permissions, NTFS shares at "Everyone" but no rights and the domain administrator has full control. Can someone please explain how I did it 🙂 Respectively, how can I parameterize the filer CIFS or that a particular set of permissions will be set as soon as I create a CIFS share? Thanks and regards Benny
