Dell PowerStore Configuring Multiprotocol File Sharing

PDF

Configure a NAS server UNIX Directory Service

When you configure a NAS server that supports multiprotocol file sharing, you must configure a way to look up identity information, such as UIDs, GIDs, netgroups, and so on.

There are three ways to configure identity lookups:

  • Use local files, alone or with a UDS.
  • Configure a UNIX Directory Service (UDS) using NIS.
  • Configure a UDS using LDAP.

If you are creating a NAS server, use the Configure UNIX Directory Service window in the Create NAS server wizard to configure identity lookups.

If you are configuring a UDS for an existing NAS server, access the Naming Services tab to access the identity lookup options:

  1. In the PowerStore Manager, select Storage > NAS Servers.
  2. Click a NAS server to select it.
  3. Select the Naming Services tab.

To specify the search order for an existing NAS server, select the User Mapping tab and configure the search order. The directory services that you configured earlier are selectable in the drop-down menu. Possible options are:

  • LDAP
  • NIS
  • Local Files
  • Local then NIS
  • Local then LDAP
