Datapump via passwordless CIFS share to ZFS appliance

Hello,
In a project I'm involved in we want to export Oracle databases on Windows via datapump directly to a ZFS appliance.
However datapump run's on the system account so we cannot use drive letters to the CIFS share. UNC path's should be possible however this should be passwordless.
Anybody an idea how to setup passwordless CIFS shares on a ZFS Appliance.
Regards,
Laurens

I have the same problem on a CMSDK db and a ASDB in a Portal enviroment whit CIFS and SSO.
On Windows 2003 server datapump have the two errors
CMSDK Database
ORA-31693: Table data object "CMSDK"."ODMM_CONTENTSTORE" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:
ORA-06564: object EXP_DP does not exist
ORA-31693: Table data object "CMSDK"."ODMM_NONINDEXEDSTORE" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:

ASDB Database

Accessing Windows CIFS Shares via Nautilus

Hi,
I've recently installed and configured Solaris 11, am having problems accessing Windows CIFS shares via Nautilus.
I've installed both samba (needed for CUPS to print to printers connect to a windows pc) and smb/client. The smb/client and samba services are running. The smb/server service is not installed.
I can print to any printer on the windows PC I'm trying to access via Nautilus, so I know my username/password for accessing the pc are correct.
I can also manually mount any share on the windows PC via the cli (eg mount -F smfs -o user=elin //elink/users /mnt), and browse the files directly that way, except the file permisssions don't seem to align with any unix user. Again this just shows that the username/password combination is ok.
For Samba, I'm using the default smb.conf file as /etc/samba/samba.conf. Workgroup is set to WORKGROUP in smb.conf.
On the Windows pc, in the security event viewer, I can see the auth request, however is failing with bad password (event ID 4776, error code 0x006a). In the default group policy object for networking, I've set to accept "LM & NT, NTLMv2 when neogiatated", as this allows legacy clients to connect. (Legacy meaning NT4, Win95, etc, and also has the benefit of allowing other OSes to connect as well).
I'm also able to access the WIndows PC CIFS shares from an Arch Linux based setup (running GNOME 3.2 w/ Nautilus 3.2), so I doubt it's the Windows side of things causing the problems. Additionally, when I was running Solaris 10u9 (just before upgrading to Sol11), I was able to access the shares via Nautilus as well.
So my question is:
1. Does Nautilus use Samba or the Oracle smb/client service to handle mount windows CIFS shares?
2. What log files or configuration files do I need to looking at to help with this error?
As a side question,
I've found that on a clean installation running the "Print Manager" accesses CUPS fine, but once you install a printer, it'll no longer connect to CUPS, unless run from the cli "sudo system-config-printers". So this is a permissions issue, where's the best place to fix/handle that one.

Replying to my own thread, as I have a possible but very-hackish solution.
To add some further details to my original post.
There are 4 PCs on the LAN.
1. Hellfire - OS = Solaris 11 11/11
2. Brimstone - OS = Arch Linux
3. Elink - OS = Win7 Pro x64 SP1
4. IsaacPC - OS = WinXP Home SP3
Attempting to connect to Elink from Hellfire, accessing CIFS shares via Nautulis fails. (Mounting shares via Nautulis fails, but works fine from CLI using 'mount' command which to my understanding uses the smb/client service to work). Elink also hosts all the printers on the LAN, a HP LJ1200 and an Epson Fax/Printer/Scanner.
Helfire does attempt to authenticate, as listed in the event logs on the Win7 PC (elink), but is returning bad password when using Nautulis. (but printing from hellfire to either printer on elink works fine, as does mounting CIFS shares using 'mount').
Booting the live CD of Solaris 11, also exhibits the same non-working behaviour when attempting to mount CIFS shares in Nautulis.
Attempting to access CIFS shares on elink from Brimstone (via Nautulis 3.2 within GNOME 3.2), or from IsaacPC works fine.
Hellfire configuration.
Samba is installed, but NOT running (samba is needed for accessing the printers on elink, as CUPS needs smbspool which is part of the samba package), and the native smb/client service is also running.
smb.conf is a direct copy of the default *.conf file, except the WORKGROUP is set to 'WORKGORUP'. There is a symlink to smb.conf in /etc/sfw/smb.conf -> /etc/samba/smb.conf
Onto the hackish-fix.
I've noticed that there are 2 copies of libsmbclient.so installed on the system, one in /usr/sfw/lib (part of the "libsmbclient" package) and another in /usr/lib/samba (part of the "samba" package).
"libsmbclient" appears to be based on samba 3.5.8 codebase, and is linked to the gvfsd-smb daemon (this is the software that Nautulis uses to talk SMB to access CIFS shares).
"samba" is based on the samba 3.5.10 codebase, and it's installation has nothing to do with GNOME or Nautulis in any manner.
Using any of the samba included tools to test SMB/CIFS functions, work with 1 minor exception (which I'll list below). eg, using smbclient I can list all shares on any PC on the LAN, etc.
So as a hunch, I renamed the libsmbclient.so.0 in /usr/sfw/lib, and symlinked /usr/sfw/lib/libsmbclient.so.0 -> /usr/lib/samba/libsmbclient.so.0 (so that gvfsd-smb is linked against the slightly newer version of the libsmbclient.so as included in the samba package located in /usr/lib/samba).
I rebooted Hellfire, and now I'm able to access CIFS shares via Nautulis, provided that some form of authentication is needed (that is a username and password is needed - guest access and blanks passwords don't work - but these IMO should be disabled immediately as part of a baseline security package in regards to Windows - so no harm there).
Now to the minor exception I noted earlier. When using smbclient to actually connect and transfer files, I get:
ld.so.1: smbclient: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/lib/libreadline.so.5: symbol tgetent: referenced symbol not found
As far as I know, tgetent is part of libtermcap.so, so I guess when building smbclient or libreadline.so, the link reference to termcap was left out? (or something like that). Anyway, that's another issue...

Multipath.conf for oel 6.4 and oracle zfs appliance

i have a zfs 7320 storage appliance connected via brocade fiber switches to clustered linux servers. one zfs controller with four fiber connections each server has two fiber connections. there are redundant switches so zfs is connected with two fiber connections to each switch and each server is connected one fiber connection to each switch. the zfs appliance manual does not have oel or redhat or any other similar 6.x multipath configuration. oracle support or sales has not been able as of yet to find multipath config for 6.x and suggested i post it here. Since I had issues that seem to be resolved with new zfs appliance software I want to verify my multipath config before i put the unit back in production, I would feel much better with a known good config.
This is what is in the manual for 5.x linux:
device
vendor "SUN"
product "Sun Storage 7310" or "Sun Storage 7410" (depending on storage system)
getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%n"
prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_alua /dev/%n"
hardware_handler "0"
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
failback immediate
no_path_retry queue
rr_min_io 100
path_checker tur
rr_weight uniform
This is what seems to work with 6.x:
device {
vendor "SUN"
product "ZFS Storage 7320"
getuid_callout "/sbin/scsi_id --whitelisted --replace-whitespace --device=/dev/%n"
prio alua
hardware_handler "0"
path_grouping_policy group_by_prio
failback immediate
no_path_retry queue
rr_min_io 100
path_checker tur
rr_weight uniform
}

Nice to see a proper redundant storage fabric layer for once on OTN. ;-)
We've been in a similar position using multipath with a custom storage layer (Infiniband based). Like you we hunted for a best-match config - and then stress tested the fabric layer using fio (Flexible I/O Tester). And don't forget to pull some fibre cables, or shutdown/powerdown one of the fibre channel switches, while fio tests are running.

CIFS share authentication is slow

The problem I’m having is when accessing a CIFS share authentication is taking several minutes. The Mac OS is LION and I’m connecting via SMB to a share on NetApp storage using a local account on the NetApp. Are there any options I could change in LION that would speed up authentication?

Hi
I have similar issue. Ldap 5.1 crashes after upgrade from siteminder 4.61 to 5.5. But if i remove the certain indexes, it does not crash, but LDAP becomes very slow due to unindexed search.
If you get any solution..pls inform us too.
Thanks in advance

Samba/cifs shares using AD for Authentication

Hi,
I am trying to make use of the internal cifs shares in Solaris 11.1 but I am running into road blocks - can anyone shed light on this for me?
I won't bore you with my first and abortive attempt at configuring auth with native kerperos and simply say that have decided to go with the third party product PBIS Open for the authentication.
setup is a breeze and I can see the shares from elsewhere but for the life of me I cannot mount the shares. For the record the setup that was most successful went in this order:
SAMBA
pkg install service/file-system/smb
zpool create xpool /var/tmp/xpool
zfs set sharesmb=on xpool
zfs create -o nbmand=on xpool/fs1
zfs get -r share xpool
svcadm enable -r smb/server
smbadm show-shares host
smbadm enable-user AD.DOMAIN\\user
WORKAROUND to point to a working test DC:
xx.xx.xx.xx      AD.DOMAIN >> /etc/hosts
smbadm join -u user AD.Domain
PBIS:
cd /var/tmp/pbis-open-7.5.3.1536.solaris.sparcv9.pkg/
./install.sh
svccfg -s system/name-service/switch
setprop config/password = astring: "files lsass"
setprop config/group = astring: "files lsass"
setprop config/host = astring: "files dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4"
svcadm refresh name-service/switch
domainjoin-cli join AD.DOMAIN user
After which I can ssh into the host as an ad user but I can't mount (get permission denied).
/var/adm/messages shows:

Although setting up SMB server in Solaris 11.1 seems to be straight forward, yet there another important part to be completed on the Windows Side. the following link describes what to be done at the windows domain level
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2751.kerberos-interoperability-step-by-step-guide-for-window…
Now, to be straight forward you have to do the following:
Use Ktpass on the Windows Server 2003/2008/2012R2 KDC to create the keytab file (a keytab is a file used to store the keys used by a host or service) and set up the account for the UNIX host, and then copy the keytab file to the UNIX system and merge the keytab file into /etc/krb5.keytab (check the documentation for your Kerberos Implementation as the keytab path may be different or configurable).
1.   From the command line, use the following command to generate the keytab file for the UNIX host, map the principal to the account, and set the host principal password.
C:> klist
this command will list the encrption type used by your server
C:> Ktpass –princ host/hostname@DNS-REALM-NAME –mapuser account -pass password –crypto ENCRYPTION-TYPE –out UNIXmachine.keytab
where
hostnameis the fully-qualified name of the host, for example, foobar.reskit.com.
DNS-REALM-NAME is the uppercase DNS name of the Windows Server 2003 domain; for example, RESKIT.COM.
account is the user account previously created for the UNIX host as performed in the procedure to create Computer and User Accounts.
password is a complex password to be set on the account.
ENCYRYPTION-TYPE is the encryption type used to encrypt the key. Either RC4-HMAC-NT (recommended), DES-CBC-MD5, or DES-CBC-CRC.
Note
In order to create a keytab using the RC4-HMAC-NT encryption type you need to use the ktpass.exe from Windows Server 2003 SP1 or later.
2.   Securely transfer the keytab file (UNIXmachine.keytab from the example above) to the UNIX host. Then, merge the keytab file with any existing keytab file for the UNIX computer.
The UNIX commands to merge the keytab file are:
% ktutil
ktutil: rkt UNIXmachine.keytab
ktutil: list
The output should appear similar to the following:
slot KVNO Principal
    1      1   host/[email protected]
ktutil: wkt /etc/krb5.keytab
ktutil: q
rejoin the domain using smbadm command as following
smbadm join -u username DOAMIN
where username = username created from step 1
the second part is where you have the issue \\ADDC.fqdn\PIPE\srvsvc: smb/client authentication failed
change the following in Domain group policy if you are using domain policy or Local policy is no group policy applied
GPO_name\Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options
add lsarpc to the following policy
Network access: Named pipes that can be accessed anonymously
gpupdate /force
observer your /var/adm/messages and see if these message stops or not

Cannot mount multiple CIFS shares in /home

I have 2 users, Joe and Fred, who each have their own directory in /home. I also have a Netapp filer with a CIFS share called CorpData, which has subdirectories for Joe and Fred.
On the Arch Linux box, I have this for my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sda1
UUID=d93def89-7611-43c8-a74f-e20bee64bd7e / ext4 rw,relatime 0 1
//10.1.1.141/CorpData/joe /home/joe cifs credentials=/etc/credentials,noserverino,_netdev,uid=joe,gid=users 0 0
//10.1.1.141/CorpData/fred /home/fred cifs credentials=/etc/credentials,noserverino,_netdev,uid=fred,gid=users 0 0
The problem is that at boot time, Joe's directory will be mounted, but Fred's will not. The reverse is true if I reverse the two entries in fstab.
If I issue the "mount -a" command after logging in, the second mount does get mounted, but also generates this error message:
mount error(16): Device or resource busy
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I did refer to man mount, but since only the second mount is failing, I don't know what I could try differently. There are many more directories in CorpData, so I don't want to just mount that entire share on /home.

Looking into this further, it seems that the server is not able to accept the second request so quickly after the first. Is there any way to insert a delay or sleep command between the two mount entries in fstab?

Can't add CIFS Share from iManager on OES

I recently install OES and have not been able to add a CIFS share from
iManager .
The error is:
Error: The given volume name could not be found on the specified server.
I've tried entering the path is various ways:
\vol1\share\
\vol1\share
vol1\share\
vol1\share

I've recreated the Pool and now have the volume name "VOLUME1" but still no
success.
Logger Screen reports:

Any suggestions?
Thank you.

The source of the CIFS issue is the cluster snapin.
The CIFS functionally is included in the cluster snapin for cluster
services version 1.6 (NetWare 6.0) and 1.7 (NetWare 6.5).
Unfortunately, with Cluster Services 1.8 (OES and NetWare 6.5 SP3),
Novell dropped the CIFS functionality from the cluster snapin. So when
you install an OES/NetWare server, or when you install SP3 to an
existing Server, you will loose the CIFS snapin.
Note that reinstalling SP3 will not bring you back the CIFS
functionality as it is actually the cause of the disappearence.
To get back the CIFS functionality, you have to get the NCS 1.7 cluster
snapins. The latest version of these snapins can be found in NW65SP2 in
the file NCS.ZIP. Unpack these file somewhere and use the files NCS.JAR
and NCSRES.JAR from this ZIP file to replace the corresponding files of
your ConsoleOne installation.

Unable to access CIFS shares using SSL Web portal

Hello,
i have deployed Cisco Clientless Web VPN on my ASA5515.
I'm having an issue when I try to browse a file server (access CIFS shares) from the WEB VPN portal. I am prompted for login, and after logging in I get the "Error contacting host" immediately. it's seem like a bug on ASA ? i saw that on Cisco Web site : bug CSCsl94183
I already DONE those things :
1- reload the ASA
2- upgrade to the latest software release
3- test different web browser ( Firefox, IE, Chrome)
1- ASA Platform is 5515 running latest software release (9.1.4)
2- File server running Windows 2008 R2
3- Clients is using Firefox.
4- When I establish SSL VPN connection using Cisco AnyConnect I have no problems accessing files or folders on the same server.
NOTE : I have 2 other CIFS server running Window 2003 and there is no issue. the issue is happening ONLY with the server running Window 2008 R2

I've also seen this exact problem. We have several Windows 2008 R2 servers, one of our Domain controllers has been migrated to 2008 R2. I can access shares on the Windows 2008 R2 domain controller, but not a deicated (member) file share server.

[SOLVED]Setting up Arch to read CIFS shares but no smb.conf

I am trying to ACCESS CIFS shares from another computer. Other clients can access these shares without issue. I am NOT trying to host files from Arch.
Reading I have done: wiki pages on SAMBA and SMBCLIENT.
Reading the SMBCLIENT wiki page, it apparently states that only the package smbclient should be installed, which I did.
But, following the SMBCLIENT wiki, it shows to issue:
#smbclient -L
#smbclient
both error saying smb.conf can not be read. BTW, is the -L to just list the shares available from any place?
Questions:
1. So, should smb.conf be created to use smbclient? This package evidently does not install smb.conf in any form.
2. Does the SAMBA package need to be installed to use smbclient? Samba does install a smb.conf.something.
Any tips you have so I can read CIFS shares will be appreciated.
Thanks
steve.

Reporting my results at resolving my issues
1. installing smbclient provides the described ftp-like environment while accessing CIFS shares. It works fine. I used
$smbclient //OMV/steve -Usteve%omv
to access my share on the OMV server. I could list, get and put files. I still get the message about no smb.conf file but it works.
2. Installing gvfs-smb package allowed Thunar to display the shares. In my case, I do a Ctrl-L and then smb://OMV/steve and I can display the shared content perfectly! Click to remember password or it apparently does not work.
Hope this helps someone.

Cannot access CIFS shares from Windows 2008R2 on NSS3000

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade our 2008 domain to 2008R2 but with that last version we cannot access to cifs shares on the NSS3000. Access from all other clients are OK. It was 100% OK under 2008...
Whether I use the IP or the FQDN, I got an error from Windows 2008R2. From IP, I got "No process is on the other end of pipe." and from network Gui, I got "Windows cannot access \\nas0026CB647BC6. Check the spelling of the name...blabla. Details : Error Code : 0x80070035, The network path was not found".
On the NAS, I got this errors in the cifs logs :

It is likely to be an incompatibility between Windows 2008R2 smbv2 and the NSS3000 smbd but I can't find any firmware update and I can't find the process to allow in the registry.
I can ping it, I can connect on the web interface, I can connect on FTP but no CIFS at all.
Firmware version running is 1.20.1. Hardware rev : V03.
Any idea?

Hi SpaceBass, have you looked into sharepoints or into Netinfo manager. I have been playing around with sharepoints and it does let me enter non local users into the sharing prefs- albeit manually. Only thing is , depending on the number of macs you have, it could be a long and tedious job entering it all by hand. Netinfo may have an easier way, I'll do some more digging and post back.
Cheers.

CIFS share limitation

I have a problem with the CIFS shares on the 7000-series...
On our Windows server, I have a directory for the Marketing department, to which they have full access. Inside this is a directory containing all their public documentation, which I share out (read-only) to everyone in the company. I don't seem to be able to replicate this on the Sun simulator - it tells me it's not allowed.
It appears that in the Sun world, a filesystem is the equivalent of a share and there is no further, finer level of sharing. Every share must be a root share, but why? That's like limiting a Windows server to sharing the root of a drive and no more.
Other NAS solutions have the ability to nest shares within a filesystem, so why not Sun?
I could probably use DFS on the Windows server to map shares into the correct structure, but the whole point of us getting a NAS box is to remove the need for the Windows server.
Any suggestions? :)

I have the same problem so I think I will try to explain it from my point of view and see if we get any comments.
I have a Real Strorage 7110 (Try & Buy)
What my windows guys would like and what they do already on Windows Systems:
Real Disk Layout = G:\shome\username
share "shome" => G:\shome (Default ACL)
User (Owner) = Full Access=rwx+inheritance
Other = x+inheritance
Domain Admin = Full Access=rwx+inheritanceshare "username" => G:\shome\username (Default ACL)
Inherit from above (shome)
Group Staff = rx+inheritanceBy the looks the Sun way is to setup up every share with all the relevant ACL, since you can not setup ACL on the directory above (project). Am I correct
Real Disk layout /export/shome/username
share "username"
User (Owner) = Full Access=rwx+inheritance
Other = x+inheritance
Domain Admin = Full Access=rwx+inheritance
Group Staff = rx+inheritanceThanks

Random error accessing CIFS shares from Windows

I am setting up some CIFS shares to be used from Windows clients and in the process I had some random problems accessing the shares.
In hope of finding the answer I checked the CIFS Service and the Active Directory Service, and while watching the screen for Active Directory Service I saw that the "Selected Domain Controller" changed from one to another. I now stayed within this screen and noticed that the "Selected Domain Controller" continued to change and then I found the problem, because an unknown Domain Controller appeared. The IP was 216.150.17.8
I found that when ever this Domain Controller was the selected one, all access to CIFS shares from Windows clients failed! This is correct, because the 216.150.17.8 of course is unaware of all users in Our Domain
So the Questions are:
- what is happening?
- and how to solve this?
- why is a Domain Controller 216.150.17.8 sometimes the Selected Controller?
- where does this 216.150.17.8 come from?
Have You seen anything like this?

I now have found out why the DC changes - it is because the CIFS service is restarting ;-(
This is a log snip
2009-5-14 09:24:53 Executing start method ("exec /usr/lib/smbsrv/smbd start").
2009-5-14 09:24:53 Executing stop method (:kill).
2009-5-14 09:24:53 Stopping because all processes in service exited.
2009-5-14 09:24:39 Method "start" exited with status 0.
2009-5-14 09:23:48 Executing start method ("exec /usr/lib/smbsrv/smbd start").
smbd: NetBIOS services started
2009-5-14 09:23:48 Executing stop method (:kill).
2009-5-14 09:23:48 Stopping because all processes in service exited.
2009-5-14 09:23:34 Method "start" exited with status 0.
It seems to happen when I access the share and thereby force a uservalidation
Any ideas?

Error Referencing Old CIFS Shares

Previously I used to use CIFS to connect to my shares on my NV+, but I've switched to AFP.
For some reason, something in Lion is still trying to get the CIFS shares and so when I open random applications such as Garage Band and others that use the media inspector to let me browse audio and picture files, I get an annoying error pop up that won't go away unless I close down the application. I'm trying to figure out where this old share is being referenced and how I can remove whatever reference there is so I can quit getting the pop up errors.
The system log shows this when I get the error...
10/11/11 3:09:22.142 AM NetAuthSysAgent: smb_mount: mount failed to nas-mccordnet (CIFS)._smb._tcp.local/pictures, syserr = No such file or directory
Is there a file that references these shares that I can delete or edit?

Read-only CIFS share--5320 NAS Gateway Cluster

Is it possible to share CIFS shares read-only using Active Directory authentication, then revert to normal read-write operation? We would like to make information available while we are finishing an incremental copy from an old data source.

I have the same problem so I think I will try to explain it from my point of view and see if we get any comments.

No Cifs Share in Open File Dialog of Device Manager

Hello,
I just copied lots of driver-files to a Cifs-share and connected to that share over the explorer just to recognize, that the
Device Manager - Driver Open File Dialog
does not show any Shares, just the local HDs and the Network.
Is there any workaround on this, so that the Open File Dialog shows the Shares?
thx,
hugo

Hi,
First make sure that you successfully share the files out.
http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Windows_(CIFS)_Shares
form this article, there is a "Browsable to Network Clients" option, it enables Windows clients to browse the shared directory using Windows Explorer.
You can also try to directly type the UNC path of the cifs share in the explorer to search the share, verify whether it exists.
