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,

  • NSS 324 still work when connection to ActiveDirectory lost?

    Hi,
    i would like to use a NSS 324 for second office, this has a vpn connection to headquarter with DC.
    Second office has no DC. If vpn connection get lost, does NSS remember login informations?
    Or does it only work with active connection to activedirectory?
    Kind regards

    Michael,
    If the vpn goes down then your domain users will lose access to their shares. The NSS authenticates each time a share are accessed. Depending on how many users you have you could set up local groups and add local users to that group in case of Internet down.

  • NSS 324 - Cannot Connect

    Not my unit but here we go
    Got an NSS 324 Smart Storage device, all went well
    But then the unit was disconnected as well as the PC to be moved to another location.
    At the new location the NSS is connected to the same PC it was always connected to
    But now we are unable to map a drive to it, click on the old Z drive that was always there before
    We did try to use the wizard to make a new one but it doesn't work and says cannot find device
    We are able to ping the IP Address though
    The other issue is that they've forgotten their username so they are unable to login through the browser interface
    There is data on the device so they don't want to do a factory reset.
    Please advise as to what our options are.
    And yes ethernet cable from the device to the router is all good
    Thanks

    Bobby,
    In the administration guide 3 second reset will erase the root password and network settings. Page276
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/storage/nass/csbcdp/smart_storage/admin/guide/NSS32X_Admin_Guide_OL21155_v1.5.pdf
    We would need access to the device to determine root cause of your issue. You can give us a call @ 1-866-606-1866 and open a support case.
    Thanks,

  • Is there a way to configure NTFS file system on an NSS 324 SmartStorage unit. So far I can setup ext 3 or ext 4 but no option for NTFS

    Is there a way to configure NTFS file system on an NSS 324 SmartStorage unit. So far I can setup ext 3 or ext 4 but no option for NTFS. This unit should be joining a Windows Server 2008 R2 network and needs to be shared with all users. This unit will replace a File server running Win 2003 SP2.
    Message was edited by: Hermann Koster
    Thank you very much for your reply. The idea is to decommission the Windows file server which is running Windows Server 2003 SP2 operating system but is not running as a DC but just a member server. All this server is doing is providing file server services so my idea is to replace it with the NSS 324 box. My only concern is that when my NSS joins the domain all my users would be able to see and access network shares transparently, the same way they saw the former W2003 file server. After I transferred the data from File server I will use the same for NSS that was used for file server as well as same IP address and folders path as before.
    Any suggestions or advice?
    Once again thank you very much for your reply.
    Cheers,

    The internal HDDs must be formatted in either EXT3 or EXT4 file system because NSS uses Linux OS.  This is mainly because the RAM designed to fit with the customized Linux OS's size.
    You can connect to an external HDD via a  USB or eSATA port. The external HDD's file system can be NTFS, FAT32, AFT or EXT3/4 to be recognized for read/write. You can connect a 2TB USB/eSATA drive connec to the NSS via USB port to format your HDD for NTFS, AFT, FAT32, or EXT3/4 partition.
    You can join the NSS to a Windows domainr so all domain users to access NSS. You cannot replace the NSS for the Windows 2003 SP2 server. They are two different products and do different jobs. Windows server is features sets server while the NSS is the files/data server.
    Hope that helps!!

  • 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$datafile
    ******************** below from othe dbms_backup_restore procedure ***********************
    PROCEDURE setDatafileAux( dfnumber IN binary_integer
    ,fname IN varchar2 DEFAULT NULL);
    -- setDbfileAux sets auxilary filename.
    -- Input parameters:
    -- dfnumber
    -- Data file number of a file to alter. This refers to the file that
    -- is currently accessible via SQL commands.
    -- fname
    -- Name of the file to be set as auxfilename.
    ie
    SQL> select file#,name from v$datafile where file#=28
    FILE# NAME
    28 +DATA/edwdb10q/datafile/ils_index.3298.765548765                               
    1 row selected.
    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 324 iSCSI lun error

    I have an iSCSI lun on my NSS 324 device that shows status error while the target it is mapped to shows connected.  The log file shows the following error: [iSCSI] Fail to expand LUN.  I cannot enable the LUN and it is not discoverable by my VMWare.  How can I resolve this without losing my data?                  

    not sure if i understand. are you mapping the iSCSI LUN to the NSS or are you mapping the iSCI LUN to your ESX server?
    which device is connecting to the LUN?

  • NSS 324 iSCSI ready status, cannot connect using MS iSCSI Initiator

    I have an NSS 324 (firmware: 1.0.4) which has been running a Microsoft iSCSI target without any problems for months, until the last 7 days.  I'm now to the point where I cannot access the iSCSI target at all when I try and connect using the iSCSI Initiator, the Quick Connect window comes up with "Target Error" in the bottom of the window.
    Attached are screencaps of the three (3) tabs from the 'Disk Management, iSCSI' section on the NSS 324 management portal.
    iSCSI, Portal Management:
    iSCSI, Target Management:
    iSCSI, Advanced ACL:
    I've also attached screencaps of the six (6) tabs from the iSCSI Initiator Object.

    Thank you for any help you may be able to offer.  I have a ton of miscellaneous files on this iSCSI target and I'd hate to try and recreate all of it again.

    Thank you very much for the reply. 
    The IP address of the NSS324 is still 192.168.0.133
    clindoan wrote:Hi John,     Is it possible that the NSS324 may have the new IP address ? The iSCSI initiator failed to communicate to 192.168.0.133 with target error. I would check following:- NSS326 IP address on each LAN port- If NSS is run single LAN port, make sure the default gateway set to that LAN port- If the RAID volume should not be full for iSCSI target to be functional While waiting for resolve the root cause of this issue, you can use the WinSCP to get data (google and download the open source version). With WinSCP, you can see all your data just like it is on the Windows PC. 1, Install WinSCP2. Login with "admin" account and password (The local account with username= admin) 3. Path to iSCSI image is /root/share/external/sdwa1/  (all you folders and files are resided in this path)4. Backup all data to your local drives.Regards,-Clint
    When I launch WinSCP is the following connection information correct, or should I be using a different username, port number, etc. 
    Again, thank you very much for your help!

  • Connecting NSS 324 to two networks.

    Can the NSS 324 support two network segments? I work from home, so I have my network split into a home segment and work segment. I'd like to be able to share files such as photos from either network. How can this be accomplished?
    Thank you.

    Hi Seth,
    Thank you for posting. You can give each ethernet port an IP address in a different subnet by going to Administration-> Network. The NAS can only have one Default Gateway.
    Example:
    Ethernet 1:
    IP Address: 192.168.1.200
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (Router)
    Ethernet 2:
    IP Address: 10.1.1.10
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway: None
    You will be able to access the NAS from either the 192.168.1.x network or the 10.1.1.x network. The NAS will use 192.168.1.1 to reach the internet.
    Please reply if you have any questions.

  • NSS 324 Wordpress upgrade Help...

    I have the default Wordpress .pkg running on my NSS 324.  It tells me that version 3.1 is available.  When I select to update, it downloads the 3.1 zip file, but errors out on the install.  Does this install support updating?  Is there an easy way to overwrite the install with the contents of the zip?
    Thanks.
    EDIT:  I only have the ability to write over the files of the wordpress install if I use the "Web File Manager" Application.  When I ftp in, I cannot overwrite the files.  I am FTP'ing on the same network.  Why are the directories greyed out in "Share Folders"??

    I have exactly the same issue.  Limited file access to wordpress sub folders....therefore cant upgrade
    Has this been resolved?
    Thanks

  • DFS support in NSS 324?

  • Rsync to NSS 324

    Hi,
    I'm currently evaluating a NSS 324 Storage system. I want to replicate data from a central file server to many NSS systems in remote locations. This should be done via rsync and works basically as wanted.
    However I have now noticed that by enabling "Allow remote Rsync server to back up data to NAS" no user account/password is checked, so anyone could replicate data to the NSS.
    If I disable the setting, I will be prompted for a passwort, but it is not accepted. The command I execute on the server side is "rsync -avz SIT/* [email protected]::SIT" and it ends in "@ERROR: auth failed on module SIT" even when the correct password is used.
    Any Ideas appreciated...
    Thanks

    One way to address this is to use the Virtual Web Host feature.
    I've uploaded a simple application note to help guide you through the steps.
    An alternative would be to create an html at /Web/ which forwards to /Web/Joomla.  Not a great solution, I know.
    I'm sure there is a way to change the setting in a linux configuration file, but I don't know which file that is in.  Maybe some other linux savy community members could help out with that?

  • 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.
