Specify the cluster character encoding

You can modify the character encoding set for a PowerScale cluster after installation.

About this task

Only OneFS-supported character sets are available for selection. UTF-8 is the default character set for OneFS nodes.
NOTE: If the cluster character encoding is not set to UTF-8, SMB share names are case-sensitive.

You must restart the cluster to apply character encoding changes.

CAUTION: Character encoding is typically established during installation of the cluster. Modifying the character encoding setting after installation may render files unreadable if done incorrectly. Modify settings only if necessary after consultation with Dell Technologies Support.

Steps

  1. Run the isi config command.

    The command-line prompt changes to indicate that you are in the isi config subsystem.

  2. Modify the character encoding by running the encoding command.
    The following command sets the encoding for the cluster to ISO-8859-1:
    encoding ISO-8859-1
  3. Run the commit command to save your changes and exit the isi config subsystem.
  4. Restart the cluster to apply character encoding modifications.
