Cisco NSS 322 not staying connected to Active Directory.

Hello,
We recently deployed a NSS 322 in our office, and connected it to our windows 2003 domain controller (running as a VM). It seems every morning that i need to log into the NSS 322 and reconnect to the active directory (Network Services -> Microsoft Networking). After i do this, everyone is able to connect to the shares on the NSS 322.
Just to add, we do not have any issues during the day with the active directory authentication, it seems to only occur over night when no one is using the shares.
Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening, or any solutions to resolve or minimize its occurrence.
Cheers,
Walter.

Hi,
Please maske sure you are running on the latest firmware 1.3.0.5 .(always make sure data is backed up)
Make sure write cache is disabled.(since it's VM)
Make sure the NSS time is pointed back to your PDC
We have a couple VM running 08 Server; hadn't run into any issues.
If this doesn't fix your issue, please call in for support 1-866-606-1866

Is it possible to install Microsoft Storage Server on Cisco NSS 322?

As the NSS 322 doesn't seem to support Microsoft Offline files (I've been told by Cisco support that this is a "common problem" with network-attached storage devices, but I've got offline files working OK with a basic linux box, so I don't believe this to be true), can we install a copy of MS Storage Server 2008 on it instead? Anyone have any experience with this?

I spoke with several Cisco Reps who directed me to purchase these products:
1x Small Business Network Storage Server NSS322
2x Small Business Router SMB|RV042 4PORT RT (one for our two person office on the East Coast & one for our Rep on the West Coast)
I was told this is what I needed to buy from Cisco to run:
Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2008
Quick Books Enterprise
Can you tell me if:
1. I am suppose to install SBS2008 via a portable DVD drive on the NSS322, or if I have to work around this as outlined here:
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/datacenter/two-ways-to-circumvent-the-dvd-drive-requirement-for-installing-windows-server-2008/324
2. If I have been misguided in my purchase & SBS2008 can not be run from the server I purchased from Cisco?
3.If I have not purchased the correct item from Cisco, which item should I purchase to run SBS2008 & QuickBooks?
I can not get in touch with a Cisco Rep at this moment b.c. of a technical issue... yikes!
Please advise, as I have little time to start setting up.

Unable to login cisco NSS 322

Hi,
We recently installed the smart storage nss322 and update the firmware to latest version (NSS322_FW_1.4.0.7).
Was configured with static IP network adress, network load balancing (with the second NIC), SSL access, was joined to domain, connected to AD for user access control to folders and only the sharing service was active, the rest is disabled (web, ftp, etc), basically because we use it to backup the network data. The rest of options have the default basic configuration. The Storage is operating and we can access to it from the network, write, read and delete files. The IP is alive and we can pinging without problems.
Suddenly, we cannot login into storage using web browser secure port.
When enter to the login screen, and insert user and password for the administrator user, the storage always ask to change the password (with any user from NAS or AD).
Username:
Password:
Application:
Administration
Language:
EnglishDeutschEspañolFrançaisItaliano日本語
SSL login
LOGIN
In the change password screen, we filled all the fields:
Change Password
To change your password, please fill out the form below:
Old Password
New Password
Verify New Password
and no matter the password that we write, we always receive the next message:
Update failed
Click "Go Back" to go back to the change password page.
And we cannot enter to administration panel.
So someone can help us?
Regards for all that want help us.

Patrico,
I like to add more details into this area. You can do as jason recommended to recovery the local administration password. However, there are two screen I can described as follow:
1. NSS Login screen: The NSS GUI only allowed the local account with admistration privilege to access and manage NAS's GUI. AD or NIS administration privilege is not as same as the local account. These account are not allowed to access the NSS GUI. There are two conditions that user will observed with login.
a. Invalid user account (username is no match with database): there is no account under that username in the database for local account, AD domain, or NIS domain. The GUI screen will give user the error message (red text above the username field)
b. Valid user account: any user account with administration privilege for local account can access to the NAS GUI. Any user account came from AD and NIS domain, included administration privilege in the domain, will redirected to the changed password screen.
2. Screen to change to a new password:
- This screen only changed the password for local user. The concept is for any user who access to the share/folder with their own password.
- Any user account imported from AD or NIS server will failed to change to new password due to another level of security at the main AD or NIS server. In this case, it required the IT person to change the password at the server location.
Bottom line, the screen to change to a new password is intended for local user who wanted a new password for access folders/shares via FTP, Samba, NFS for that user account.
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
-Clint

NSS 322 not accessible on my network, only Tonky ...?

Hello experts,
I have just installed my new NSS 322. (Great! Just bought it and just discovered Cisco is dropping it - so much for rewarding shareholder loyalty). Anyway, I expected to see NSS 322 (set to Raid 1) on my network (as per the NSLU2). But it's not there. I can access the NSS 322 using the webserver without problem. I am using windows (7 and XP) on my network. I presume I have not set it up correctly (although the workgroup name is correct - it's just that there's nothing I can copy the files to).
Could anyone out there help a damsel in distress, please?
Thank you.
Nicola

Regan,
I'm happy to hear that the issue was resolved. Cisco will continue to provide support for one year from the date of purchase as usual through the Small Business Support Center. The hardware warranty will be honored for five years from the date of purchase as well.
The NSS300 devices are manufactured by QNAP. QNAP will continue to update the firmware and provide support for Cisco customers that convert to the QNAP firmware. QNAP is constantly adding features to these devices and works very hard to make noticeable improvements to the functionality. You can find more information about the transition process at the following page: http://www.qnap.com/cisco.asp Note: It is not possible to revert back to the Cisco firmware once the QNAP firmware has been loaded.
My understanding is that QNAP provides excellent support and they also have a well established community forum which makes it very easy to find answers quickly.

Cisco NSS server 4000 SNMP setting--can we have snmp version 1 or 2 configured in NSS server?

I have Cisco NSS server 4000. I want to configure SNMP moniotring for this. my snmp server doesnt support version 3 and it has capability to work with version1 only. can anyone help me to find out how to make NSS server using vesion 1 instead of deafult version which is 3.Moreover, is there any way we could change the snmp community value in NSS server?

I could be wrong, but you may need to correct or check your asm diskgroups.
Here is what I have just checked.......
Looking at the sys.dbms_backup_restore package, but specifially the setdatafileaux spec.....it gets the datafile name from v$datafile
******************** below from othe dbms_backup_restore procedure ***********************
PROCEDURE setDatafileAux( dfnumber IN binary_integer
,fname IN varchar2 DEFAULT NULL);
-- setDbfileAux sets auxilary filename.
-- Input parameters:
-- dfnumber
-- Data file number of a file to alter. This refers to the file that

-- fname
-- Name of the file to be set as auxfilename.

You might want to login to your asm instance and check the status of your diskgroups you can also check v$asm_diskgroup to ensure they match

What do you think of new Cisco NSS 300 Smart Storage?

Did you see the press release of the new Cisco NSS 30 Smart Storage?
http://newsroom.cisco.com/dlls/2010/prod_060910.html
What did you think?
More informaion about the product can be found at http://www.cisco.com/go/smartstorage

I guess no one from Cisco is going to repond to your post Johnny.
I agree with your thoughts, and was excitedly looking forward to Cisco's entry in the small NAS market and rushed out to buy a NSS326 (Equiv to QNAP TS-659) Unit. I already own a QNAP TS-639 older model for 1.5 years and loved it - and expected Cisco just to make this even a better unit. Which in some ways they have (Syslog and Radius features) - although as you've already noticed, elimation of QPKG application support which numbers up to almost 2 dozen applications that are not available on Cisco's version
Unfortunately if you look on eBay, you'll see my NSS326 up for sale.
To address your points (from my point of view)
1) ROCK SOLID: I've found the hardware to be just that (on both units). Built well, and I'm sure will last for years.   As for software stability, - see next
2) FAST FIRMWARE UPDATES: It's for this reason that the unit is up for sale.   V3.0 of the firmware was a major release. And there have been issues - although many/most of them have been addressed with still a few (somewhat serious) issues still lingering.   QNAP seems to be attacking these fairly quickly.   Unfortunately there has been 2 releases from QNAP addressing issues since Cisco's adoption of this unit since v3.2.6.   As you'll see in these posts, Cisco is not following QNAPs releases, and will be releasing their own line of firmware. For me, this is a serious issue - and I wish I knew this before purchasing. I feel Cisco is already 2 releases behind which includes many fixes to their current platform. (Also see QPKG note above - many missing applications)
3) SUPPORT: This is where Cisco excels and always has.   To start 5yr vs 1yr warranty, and of course Cisco TAC is one of the best in the world. In contrast, QNAP's support quite frankly isn't great - although, it's support community for forums are excellent.   Unfortunately I can't speak specifically on NSS support since I haven't called them for this, so I'm speaking more generally.
So it really boils down to whats more important for your situation.
Cheers

NSS 322 bricked

I obtained the NSS 322 unit today and attempted to update from the 1.0.0.0 firmware to the newer 1.3.0.5
After waiting for about an hour for it to restart, I connected a monitor to the VGA output to discover that it won't boot due to missing files.
How can I restore the boot file system to the device?
thanks
Peter

One of the great things about the NSS devices is that they are almost impossible to kill. (Not to say you can't kill them)
If you end up in this situation, you can do the following to restore the DOM
Call support and ask for a DOM image
Remove ALL HDDs from unit
Connect an external USB CD/DVD
Using a Linux live distrobution boot the NSS
Once the OS is loaded connect your USB stick with the DOM image
Mount the DOM from within the OS -- typically it comes in as an USB device like /dev/sdbTo find the mount points run 'mount' from a terminal window
Next, from a terminal window copy your good DOM image to the DOM device using 'dd' like this:~# dd if=/media/usb/my_stick/goodDOM.img of=/dev/sdb bs=512b
Once complete, reboot to into your nss.

Cisco NSS 324

Hi, I have two problems with this cisco NSS 324 device.
1) I have a windows server 2008 domain environment where the NSS 324 is connected to the Active directory, it sees all my users and groups on the AD. I am planning to make users H drives on this NSS 324 so that each user have full rights to 'HIS/HER' folder only. I have followed all the help files from Cisco where they guide how to make folder structure so that each user has own space to work under a folder tree. I am able to make folders via the properties of the AD users like '\\NAS\shomes\g7\%username%' it makes the persons folder. But if I logonto Web File Manager as any other user, it can see all the files and folders of the other user. So basically users can see/change each other files. How to change this behaviour?
2)iSCSII I am able to logonto iSCSII if I do not put any type of authentication, the moment I use CHAP or any other authentication I am unable to connect to the drives, I am able to see the discovered Target via the ISCSII inciator but cannot logon. Any hints?
Help plz

Adnan,
•1) Sound like you’re permission for the folders is not set correctly. First off you can set individual folders as hidden so no others can see the folder. Please make sure you’re on Latest firmware 1.5.0 this gives you greater control over sub folder permissions. Please upgrade in increments if you need to upgrade.
•2) When using CHAP authentication both the target and initiator has to match exactly or you’re not going to get connected. Usually the customer has more than one target with CHAP authentication and they have CHAP set globally and not by individual target authentication. You can use global settings for CHAP- but each target has to be set exactly with same authentication.
For quicker resolution please call into the support center @ 1-866-606-1866 and open a support case –
If you want to continue trouble shooting via support forum – please post
Firmware currently running-
Folder permissions for users’ directory-
Individual folder permissions-
Connection logs of users –
For ISCSI it’s just a matter of getting correct settings in your initiator –
Hope this helps,
Jasbryan

NSS 322 Mozy

Hello,
Installed one of these for a client with the intention of using the integrated Mozy for offsite backup. The initial setup went fine, we're a Mozy reseller so had setup an account for the device. Scheduled backups ran fine for about a week at which point it started acting really flaky. The shares we had selected for backup were no longer available on the Mozy screen, logging into the Mozy portal to do a restore showed some falls, but not all and files in vault eventually disappeared completely. Ended up removing the Mozy account so we could try to re-configure, but now when we try and access the Mozy portion of the device manager, we get a message that says invalid license key and it goes no further. This message is correct, we deleted the account with Mozy, but how do we get in to reset and try setting it up again? Rebooted the device with no change, it just sits there after the invalid license message apears and says loading data.

Support,
There is no easy way to accomplish this! But if you do a 10 second reset on the unit, this will erase the configuration file only. If you have a backup configuration before installing mozy settings, you can reload the configuration back into the box and will be running shortly. If you don't have a saved config before mozy you can just manually configure the unit. You would make sure you have screen shots of all shares, users, and any other important information. Shares are the most critical. After the ten second reset it will look as if all data has been deleted, this is just because the share name was wiped out on the reset. All you need to do is create new share - the share name has to be exact (MyShare). Then you will notice after the share is created data will show. Now manually place all other information back into NSS.
(10 second reset will delete configuration and should not mess with the Volume)
You can give Cisco Small Business Support Center a call and open a case-- if you don’t want to go this route I will be checking on an alternate solution if possible. 1-866-606-1866
For diaster recovery always make sure you have crital data backup to another storage device in case of failure or possible corruption.
Thanks,
Jasbryan

OS X Lion and NSS 326

I've got a Cisco NSS 326 NAS and have recently run into a problem with OS X Lion Developer Preview and authentication to the NAS. When connecting to the NAS over AFP as guest I can access the NAS just fine. However, when I try and authenticate I get an error that reads:
"The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem."
I've read on another site (http://trick77.com/2011/02/25/afp-broken-linux-based-nas-mac-os-x-lion-10-7) that this has to do with the version of AFP that is running on the NAS compared to the new version that OS X Lion is using AFP 2.
Does anyone have a solution to enable the NAS to support AFP 2 or are there any plans to support this from Cisco any time soon?

Hi all NSS32x owners,
Like you all, I bought a Storage Solution from Cisco, personally hoping that Cisco would be better in supporting us than the OEM they bougth the NSS32x line from.
Until now I have been disapointed over and over.
They opened a discussion about what should be implemented in the Cisco versions of the NAS'ses but so far no real addition of any value.
Now we are facing the problem with OS X Lion's TimeMachine incompatability, which could have been solved for months ago, when the first developer releases were issued.
No response from Ciso however.
This is really bad.
Other companies already have solutions for their products in order to be compatible with Lion.
Ok, I agree, this might not be a problem caused by Cisco, but a problem that was caused by Apple when releasing Lion. But hey all companies have to update their software so Cisco as well as Apple.
However, companies of major size (Apple, Cisco, and many others) should be more cooperative when releasing new software.
I work in IT for over 30 years now and I have always seen that when Cisco bought a company, their "boxes" were painted gray and the Cisco "bridge" logo was aplied and then all over sudden it became a REAL Cisco product.
And I mean it really became a Cisco product. You might have some minor problems but those were always solved.
I would have expected the same from Cisco with respect to these NAS'ses.
And believe me, I have seen quit some NAS'ses from the competitors but the NSS32x series does not come with the support you get from other competing NAS vendors.
That is what bothers me and I regret that there is no solution today for the issue(s) we have with OS X Lion, but what bothers me even more is that Cisco is not informing us at all about whatever solution there will be within whatever time frame.
I still have the NSS326 and I had to pay quit a premium over other vendors, but accepted it, supposing that the NAS would have the support I am familiar with from Cisco, but as you can read above I am disapointed.
So Cisco, what are you going to do to improve support and be more open and informative about coming software releases for the NSS32x series NAS'ses?
Regards,
Klaas de Jong

NSS 326 and WD 3TB drive.

Hi There.
Has anyone used, or knows the compatibilty of the 326 and the WD Green 3TB WD30EZRX drives. Also is there going to be a performance difference on the box with SATA 3 vs 2 ?
Thanks!

Cisco has 3 models in the market and these are based from QNAP's TSx59 Pro+ hardware. QNAP and Cisco had different way to qualified a drive and recommend for user to use. For Cisco, each of the hard drive model from the approved list was actually tested to making sure the reliability of the drive installed in the NSS. There are number of drive models in the WD's Green series did not make to the AVL. So if you see a drive model in the Cisco AVL, it had been tested and I would recommend to get that model to use with the NSS. If the model you purchased and it is not on the AVL list, it was either failed to make the list. Unfortunately, Cisco existed the Storage market for SMB market since summer of last year so the drive qualification was also stopped. The only source for new model, in your case, is come from QNAP. However, if you are purched Cisco NSS hardware, you have 5 years hardware warranty from the date of purchased. Any software issue will be handled by QNAP (ex-partner).
Note: Cisco also worked very closely with WD team in the past to resolved any issue found on their drives during the testing. The confidentl level to use models from Cisco AVL list is much higher due to the test done in Cisco's lab.
In summary, only drive model that is working in the NSS hardware (passed life expectation tests, stress tests, performance tests, RAIDs, etc..) is made to the AVL list, any model was not amke to the list--it is not recommended.
As for QNAP's AVL, while the base system are the same between TS-x59 Pro+ and the NSS32x. The QNAP's AVL list is impressed but you need to pay attention to the notes from their web site--on the right side (very important) . The note indicated things that was not went well or things customer needs to be aware of before select the drive model.
Hope that explained.

How to make and schedule backup tasks for MySQL Databases

Has NSS 322 this functionality? If not, are there any packages to do dat? I can´t see the folders that contain MySQL Databases, so I can´t backup them.
Many thanks in advance for your support.

All of the MySQL databases are visable within the phpMyAdmin application. phpMyAdmin can export, import, manage the databases directly.
To use the remote replication feature from the GUI, you need the databases visible in a share. I'm sure that is possible through the CLI, but I'm not able to tell you how to do it. Maybe someone else on the forum can help provide a solution.
You can also use the rsync command in the CLI directly.
Did you find any ideas on the phpMyAdmin website? This must be a common task that someone has worked out a solution for.

Losing connection with QNAP NAS

Hi,
I bought a wrt320n about 2 weeks ago and haven't been able to get my QNAP nas working properly.
There are 2 device connected on the lan ports.
My home pc and a QNAP NAS. The NAS takes up 2 lan ports cause it has port trunking enabled.
Whenever I reset my wrt320n router I able to connect to my NAS and use all the functions.
After 5min the connection to the qnap amdin doesn't work anymore and I'm unable to find it using the QNAP finder tool.
Shared folders on the QNAP are still working...for 30 more min or so.
After 30min the qnap device is totally unreachable. It does have a IP adres etc.
Even the network magic tool says iot's connected, but I can't reach it.
I have had a chat session with Linkys support and they say it won't work having my NAS connected to the router?????
So I called support and tell them about the chat session. Phone support said it had something to do with an indexer service?? I'm running windows 7 and everything has been indexed before I started using the linksys router. But phone support told me to keep my computer and the nas powered on for a couple days and the connection would be fixed. Gues what? No connection still.
Anyone have an idea how I can have that connection to my nas working?
I have setup Single Port Forwarding etc, but nothing seems to help. Except resetting my router everytime I want to do something :-)

Afraid, the Cisco NSS3xx Series Online Help and Cisco Small Business NSS322, NSS324, and NSS326 Smart Storage Administration Guide is incomplete. Some of the NAS Port trunking modes require additional Switc support and configuration.
Doubt there are many routers out there coming with a fully cocnfigureabe Ethernet switch.
Refer to the table below about the port trunking options available on the NAS.
Field
Description
Switch Required
Balance-rr (Round-Robin)
Round-Robin mode is good for general purpose load balancing between two Ethernet interfaces. This mode transmits packets in sequential order from the first available slave through the last. Balance-rr provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
Supports static trunking. Make sure static trunking is enabled on the switch.
Active Backup
Active Backup uses only one Ethernet interface. It switches to the second Ethernet interface if the first Ethernet interface does not work properly. Only one interface in the bond is active. The bond's MAC address is only visible externally on one port (network adapter) to avoid confusing the switch. Active Backup mode provides fault tolerance.
General switches
Balance XOR
Balance XOR balances traffic by splitting up outgoing packets between the Ethernet interfaces, using the same one for each specific destination when possible. It transmits based on the selected transmit hash policy. The default policy is a simple slave count operating on Layer 2 where the source MAC address is coupled with destination MAC address. Alternate transmit policies maybe selected via the xmit_hash_policy option. Balance XOR mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
Supports static trunking. Make sure static trunking is enabled on the switch.
Broadcast
Broadcast sends traffic on both network interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance.
Supports static trunking. Make sure static trunking is enabled on the switch.
IEEE 802.3ad (Dynamic Link Aggregation)
Dynamic Link Aggregation uses a complex algorithm to aggregate adapters by speed and duplex settings. It utilizes all slaves in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad specification. Dynamic Link Aggregation mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance but requires a switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad with LACP mode properly configured.
Supports 802.3ad LACP
Balance-tlb (Adaptive Transmit Load Balancing)
Balance-tlb uses channel bonding that does not require any special switch. The outgoing traffic is distributed according to the current load on each Ethernet interface (computed relative to the speed). Incoming traffic is received by the current Ethernet interface. If the receiving Ethernet interface fails, the other slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave. Balance-tlb mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
General switches
Balance-alb (Adaptive Load Balancing)
Balance-alb is similar to balance-tlb but also attempts to redistribute incoming (receive load balancing) for IPV4 traffic. This setup does not require any special switch support or configuration. The receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation sent by the local system on their way out and overwrites the source hardware address with the unique hardware address of one of the Ethernet interfaces in the bond such that different peers use different hardware address for the server. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
General switches
