Registering Users Registration is required for those users who want to access this file server. This section explains how to register and administer users. A user name and password is required for persons to access the shares on the file server via HTTP, CIFS (Windows Network), or FTP (Internet File Transfer Protocol). Note The NFS (Network File Service) protocol does not have provisions to allow authentication and authorization at a user level. NFS clients are authorized at the client's IP address level. Thus, any user who has access to an authorized NFS client has access to shares on the file server. For the other access protocols (CIFS, FTP, HTTP), there are two sets of users that can access the file server. Local set This set contains users that are registered manually and appear in the server s user list. These are referred to as local set users. They are maintained from Security - Users. These users can change their passwords from the FSV- M3 Top Page. Chapter 2 Basic Use 16

17 Windows set This set contains users maintained on a Windows Primary Domain Controller. They appear when the FSV-M3 is used in combination with a Windows domain. These are referred to as Windows set users. You cannot create, modify, or delete these users from Security - Users. Because the FSV-M3 does not maintain the passwords of these users, change the password with the PDC. Indications in the Users Page In the Users page of the Security menu, each user set is represented as follows in the Source column ([S]: user registration location). If the user is a local set user: L (Local; the user is registered on the FSV-M3) If the user is a Windows set user: R (Remote; the user is registered in the PDC).

43 User Quotas Used to control user disk space allocation. Device Verifying the Status of a Hard Disk Verify the status of the hard disk, and if it is malfunctioning, you can replace it on the fly. 1 On the FSV-M3 Administration Console, click Storage - Device. The Device page appears. The Device page displays information about the status of the hard disks in the server. HDD Number Displays the hard disk location. Model Displays the hard disk model name. Size Displays the capacity of the hard disk. Status Displays the current status of the hard disk. In Use [5/5]: Operating normally. (Background color is white.) In Use [x/5] (x<5): There is a problem with a partition of the hard disk. (Background color is yellow.) Inactive: The hard disk was removed using Hotremove. Important Each FSV-M3 hard disk has five partitions. The numbers in brackets next to In Use represent these partitions. When you see [5/5], all the partitions of the hard disk are normal. When you see [x/5] (x<5), x partitions are normal and the remaining 5-x partitions are problematic. Because the FSV-M3 uses RAID configuration (RAID 1 and RAID 5), even if some hard disk partitions are problematic, the FSV-M3 can still operate normally at reduced performance levels. Therefore, it is important that you replace a hard disk when a problem arises with a partition by performing the procedure outlined in Replacing a Hard Disk, below. Replacing a Hard Disk If a FSV-M3 hard disk malfunctions, you can replace it on the fly, while the server is running. 43

44 1 Prepare a new hard disk. 2 On the FSV-M3 Administration Console, click Storage - Device. The Device page appears. You can quickly ascertain when a problem arises with a hard disk, as the Status column shows [x/5] (x<5) and the background color is yellow. 3 Click the hard disk that you need to replace in the HDD Number column. The Device Detail page appears. When a problem arises with a hard disk the Status column shows [x/5] (x<5) and the background color is yellow. 4 Click the Hotremove button. The Hotswap page appears. 5 Click the Continue button. 6 When the following page appears, wait until the LED indicator goes off. 44

45 When it is safe to remove the hard disk, the following screen appears. The Status column displays Inactive. Note Do not remove the hard disk before the LED indicator goes out and Inactive appears on the screen. If you do so, the entire system may cease to function. Further, if you do not complete the replacement of the hard disk with hotswap correctly, the data on the hard disks may be damaged. 7 Unlock the hard disk using the provided key, raise the hard disk handle, and then pull it to remove the hard disk. 8 Insert the new hard disk, insert it, and then lock it in place using the provided key. 9 Click the Hotadd button. The Hotswap page appears. 10 Click the Continue button. The following screen appears and the FSV-M3 front LED indicator lights amber. 45

46 The RAID recovery begins and the Device Detail page appears. recovering appears in the Status column and the background color is yellow. When the recovery is complete, the Status returns to In Use [5/5], which completes the hard disk replacement. Notes Observe the following when replacing a hard disk with the procedure above. When you have physically replaced a hard disk, you MUST perform the procedure above from step 9 (perform the hotadd procedure). If you fail to do so, you will be unable to use the new hard disk. Further, if you fail to perform the hotadd procedure and restart the FSV-M3, problems may arise and your data be damaged. Do not use hard disks other than the ones specified by Sony. Using such hard disks may prevent the FSV-M3 from starting and/or damage your data. Do not change the order of hard disks. Changing the order of the hard disks can damage the data on the FSV-M3. Failing to replace a damaged hard disk before shutting down, turning off, or restarting the FSV-M3 may prevent it from starting and/or damage your data. It is impossible to restore the system if two or more hard disks malfunction or are pulled out of the FSV-M3 simultaneously. It is impossible to replace a hard disk with hotswap when the system is performing a RAID recovery. Depending on the nature of the hard disk problem, you may not be able to search for some items with the system. Do not use hotswap to replace a hard disk when the system is starting or being accessed. Recommendations Replace a hard disk as soon as it develops a problem. However, make sure that no one is accessing the system before proceeding. Replace hard disks with new hard disks. 46

47 RAID Group Change the RAID configuration. By default, the RAID level is RAID 5, which means that all four hard disks are viewed as one big storage area. If you want the system to view the hard disks as two storage areas, change the setting to RAID 1. Caution When you change the RAID configuration, all the user data on the server are deleted. Automatic share creation is also deactivated. If you want to reactivate automatic share creation, click Storage - Share and reactivate the function.
