File Share for OEL 6.4 VM on Azure

We try to create a File Share for our application servers running OEL6.4 on Azure. I ran into problem mounting the File Share directory, and was told File Share doesn't OEL6.4. Can you confirm if this is true? If not, can you help me to
mount a share file directory onto OEL VM?
If File Share doesn't work on OEL 6.4, how can we create NFS for Linux VM on Azure?
Thanks,
Lam

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.

Error while adding file share for File Server role

I'm getting this error when trying to add a file share on a Server 2012 R2 failover cluster:
"Unable to retrieve all data needed to run the wizard. Error details: Cannot retrieve information from server. Error occurred during enumeration of SMB shares: WinRM cannot complete the operation. Verify that the specified computer name is valid, that
the computer is accessible over the network, and that a firewall exception for the WinRM service is enabled and allows access from this computer. By default, the WinRM firewall exception for public profiles limits access to remote comptuers within the same
local subnet."
Despite the message, I can still create the share and it seems to work, but I'm concerned there may be an issue and I'd like to resolve it before putting the service into production. TIA!

Hi,
Your error often caused by the WinRM can’t communication to the others node, please confirm all the node “Windows Remote Management” service is running or try to disable your
firewall and AV soft then monitor it again.

FIrewall for Windows File Share for windows 2008

Hi All,
Recently we upgraded one of our application file server from Windows 2000 to Windows 2008. We use this server for file sharing. We used to read files and write files to this server. Post upgrade one week every thing went fine all of a sudden we started seeing
issues like the application servers stopped communicated to this server.
We worked with our firewall team and enabled port 445 post this the application servers started communicating to the file server. Our Application servers are on Windows 2003 server.
Can someone please help me understand what is the port that needs to be enabled for accessing the file shares. My firewall team confirmed there were no firewalls rules between the Application server and File server.

Hi,
Based on my research, firewall ports required for SMB file sharing are port 445 and 139.
More information for you:

File Shares for Copier/Scanner

Hello All,
I'm running Novell Netware 6.5 - SP8 and I'm trying to setup a copier/scanner to work. Here's the thing, if I setup a File Share on one of my Windows Server, then I can connect it to the copier for my users to scan to. What I'd like to do is something similar using my Netware Server instead (because I'd like my users to scan to their home directories).
On the copier, I setup the user to scan to "\\192.168.100.3\JeffScans" - where "JeffScans" is the file share name that I've setup in Windows - I'd like to do this via Netware.
Any help or guidance would be helpful - thanks in advance!!

Does the scanner support NCP Shares? If not, you need to configure and
load CIFS to make the NW server look like a Windows one.

File Share for Meeting

I produce a monthly meeting packet using Adobe 9 that I currently load on a USB key, mail to the director attending the meeting and then collect right after the meeting. The material in the packet is confiential and my goal is to limit access to that file to the recipient and ensure that it will not be saved in a place where it can be accessed by anybody. Would I be able to share this file online and limit a participant's ability to download or access?

Thank you for your post. While you can't prevent downloading using Acrobat.com, you might try asking this question again here:

How do I set up a file share for a workgroup?

THE CHALLENGE
I have two iMacs running OS 10.6.8 and I would like to set up a shared project folder on one of the iMacs for a workgroup of two people. Both users must be able to open and edit any file contained within the shared project folder.
THE PROBLEM
We are unable to collaboratively edit documents. I am able to use the file sharing service in the System Preferences to designate a shared folder on the first iMac and to assign read & write priveledges for our "Design" group of two. However, although both members of the group can read documents in the shared folder and can create new documents in the shared folder, neither member of the group can save edits to documents created by the other member.
How can I create a shared folder that will allow collaborative document editing and avoid these nasty file ownership priviledge issues?
Thanks,
Mark

Does the Discussions system have a mechanism in place that ensures an eventual response from a knowledgeable technician, or do some questions simply go unanswered?

Combine AlwaysOn AG with file share cluster

We’re a quite small company, but need HA for services in the DMZ. So we decided on SQL 2012 AlwaysOn AG in order to serve load-balanced web servers. (We do use AlwaysOn AG for SharePoint 2010 and a new critical application.) Now the web servers
in the DMZ also run EPiServer; here we need a HA file share for the AppData folder (BLOB files).
Could we combine these requirements on two servers? Or do we have to install four?
MCTS: Messaging | MCSE: S+M

Yes. If you have shared disks you can create an HA file share on the two cluster nodes that you use for your AlwaysOn AG. But this is an unusual configuration.
Another option is to simply use SQL Server as your HA file share using FileTable.
FILESTREAM and FileTable with AlwaysOn Availability Groups (SQL Server)
The cool thing here is that you get an HA file share without a shared disk. All the files saved to the share would be replicated to the other node by the AlwaysOn AG.

SMB File Share Storage Failover Cluster "path is not valid folder path"

I am having an issue that I am scratching my head over. So I have setup a 3 node Hyper-V host cluster that I am attempting to use SMB File Share storage for the shared storage medium. I have been trying to migrate a virtual machine from one of the nodes
local storage into the file share using System Center VMM 2012 R2 with UR5 however I keep getting the message "The specified path is not a valid folder path on node2.domain.com" for the storage that VMM automatically selects for placement of files
from the migration. However what is odd is to the same file share for storage I can do a new deployment of a virtual machine to the same cluster with the same shares; I can also delete a virtual machine from the share fine; the file share for the virtual machine
I library I am deploying machines from is the same server as the file shares for the cluster that I am deploying to so maybe that is why that succeeds; if I try to move the recently deployed VM from one file share to another for storage same error comes up.
The three nodes all reference the same file server, which is just one file server for the storage, and the shares were created in VMM and as such the file share permissions were setup by VMM so they should be sufficient. I have also attempted this with both
delegation of CIFS and without through AD (trust to specified computers with CIFS, Hyper-V Replica and Microsoft Virtual Console Service via Kerberos only).
I am stumped as to what to check next or how to get this working and would appreciate any guidance anyone can give towards a resolution for this problem.

Jeff,
Thanks for reporting this.
There's an known issue with UR5 that VMM gives wrong error when deploying a HAVM onto a SMB share. In that situation, VMM complains "Invalid folder path".
To confirm you are hitting the same issue, would you kindly let me know:
1. Are you trying to migrate a HighlyAvailable VM onto the SMB share?
2. On UI of "Migrate Storage Wizard", if you click "Browse", do you see the target file share showing up in "Select Destination Folder" dialog?
3. By "the three nodes all reference the same file server", I assume you added the target file share onto the list of File Share Storage thru the cluster's properties UI. If so, please go to the UI and check whether the access status shows
green there.
4. By "local storage", do you mean "local disk"? Or a shared LUN from any array? I assume it's not "available storage" or "CSV" of the cluster. Please double confirm.
Note: If we are sure hitting the known issue, I will later re-direct you to a hotfix. But let's make sure it is the issue first.
Look forward to your reply.

Proper way to make bulk changes the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions, ExtensionSettings

We are going through with an upgrade/migration to SSRS 2012 and moving everything to a different domain. We have about 200 active subscriptions running, the reports are being delivered to a file share. What is the correct way, in bulk, to change
the OwnerId, the Path and the FileShare Username password credentials for these subscriptions? I see these values are being stored in Subscriptions > ExtensionSettings. I see that the file share path and Owner wouldn't be a problem to change,
but since I see the file share credentials are encrypted I would not be able change them directly in ExtensionSettings. Anyone know the proper way to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions without having to
change each one of them manually in the report manager?
Note: Reporting Services Native upgrade from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2012.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Cygnus46,
Based on my understanding, you want to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for all existing subscriptions.
In Reporting Services, the subscription information are stored in the Report Server database. In your scenario, you can go to report server database and run the query to list all the subscriptions, then modify the owner and fileshare paths in the subscriptions
table. For more information, please refer to this article: Tip: Change the Owner of SQL Reporting Services Subscription. If you want to change
the file share credentials for subscriptions, you can run the query provided by
wiperzeus from this similar thread:
Windows File Share Delivery/ SSRS 2008 R2.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Quorum location for Failover cluster file share witness

So, I've done quite a bit of searching for what I'm about to propose and I've been able to find nothing.
I currently have a multi site failover cluster hosting separate 2-node SQL clusters at each site connected through an Availability Group. For the failover cluster I am using a file share witness hosted on a server at the primary site. Both sites
are built entirely on vSphere 5.5 and have full replication for the production servers. If the primary site goes down (disaster), I'll need to force quorum in the secondary site to a new file share witness.
Well, I got to thinking...
Why not just replicate the server hosting the file share? I completely understand the reasoning behind not putting the file share witness on DFS, but a replicated virtual server, why not? If the primary site fails, the replicated server hosting
the file share witness is brought online with the rest of the production servers in the DR site. In that case, the only thing that changes is the server IP address, but ultimately, the server name and share where quorum is hosted all stays the same.
Ultimately this prevents needing to find a 3rd geographical/cloud location to host a quorum/witness at. I can't imagine it's this "simple", but maybe it is. If this is possible, and there's not something I'm missing, this essentially
makes the quorum file share witness site agnostic, meaning it could live or be moved anywhere that replication is allowed.
Ideas, thoughts? Am I missing something?
Thanks!
Chris Miller

Most likely it would be better to put this question to the High Availability forum -
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=winserverClustering
But, might need a more complete definition of your environment. Are you saying that you have multiple 2-node clusters, each with one node in the primary and the second node in the DR site? And you have a single file share server located in primary that
is used to host the file share witnesses for all these clusters? You want to use VMware to replicate the file share server to the DR site so that it can be made available should the primary site fail?
It should work, but it will not be automatic. After all, the replicated VM will need to be brought online at the DR site so the SQL cluster will recognize it. That is not an automatic process. So the cluster will be down until
you bring the file share server online so it can be recognized. Not a whole lot different that simply forcing the DR SQL host to run without quorum.

Permissions for website directories/files & Share Points for managing files

Hello.
I'm wondering if anyone could lend some advice in how to best set up permissions, both POSIX and ACLs, for the following setup?
#1 - Permissions for directories and files for hosting a website (via OS X 10.5 "Web" GUI). Basically, I'm curious as to what people suggest for the basic files for the directory (and sub-directories and files) that go into the backend (html, images, etc.) of a website? I'm going to be being files over from another machine, so I may need to propagate these permissions once they've been moved over?
#2 - Permissions (ACL) for allowing users to access these directories and files for editing, etc. via client Macs on our LAN (this server is going to be a development web server for initial building/testing).
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin.

Hi Kristin,
The "other" or "everyone" group should not have "write" permissions to any files under your website document root folder. The Apache web server runs as user "www" ... "www" is usually in the "everyone" group, thus allowing read-only access to the website.
You can set up the owner of your files to an admin account. Perhaps set up a group with write permissions to the file shares where your website files are.
You must first analyze who should have access to what, base your groups on that ...

URM 11g adapter for File Share

Hi All,
Has anyone tried to setup a URM 11g adapter for File Share/system. I could not get any documentation on this for 11g. There is 10g documentation which I tried but could not proceed much. If someone could point to an admin guide for 11g adapter that would be of great help.
Thanks,

ServerAdmin fails to load file lists for shares when bound to OD

Hello,
We're experiencing an issue on a couple of our Mac servers recently with Server Admin. We're an all Open Directory environment with DNS running on BIND on a Linux.
When using Server Admin (even locally on the server), browsing file shares in AFP, SMB, or NFS fails to load lists and permissions. Sometimes it does, after a long wait and a spinning gear. I've narrowed it down to only occuring when connected to our Open Directory master, either as a replica or simply authenticating against it. As soon as I disconnect from OD, things are as fast as expected.
This isn't limited to share points - even browsing the local volumes in Server Admin is extremely slow to load, if it even loads at all.
This issue doesn't occur on the server running the OD master, however (browsing its own file shares).
Using the command line (sharing -l) is instant on those servers, too.
DNS seems to be fine on each server - A records point to the correct addresses and PTRs point back. A "changeip --checkhostname" returns successful.
In addition, I have the following DNS records:
_kerberos-adm._tcp SRV 0 0 749 odmaster.example.tld.
$ORIGIN _udp.odmaster.example.tld.
_kerberos       SRV 10 0 88 odmaster.example.tld.
_kerberos-master    SRV 0 0 88 odmaster.example.tld.
_kpasswd        SRV 0 0 464 odmaster.example.tld
Additionally, both servers with the issues have been completely reinstalled from scratch without importing any preferences or settings. Initially, I thought it might be 10.6.7+, so I only applied the 10.6.6 combo update, but the issue persists.
Any insight here?
Thanks
Edit: When it occurs, I have a bunch of the following in my system.log:
8/10/11 2:48:51 PM          Server Admin[376]          gotServerError:kNetworkError forTransaction:<XSAdminTransaction: 0x118a2d8e0>

Fixed!
I was watching my DNS logs for one of the hosts in question and noticed it was looking up another server that's been offline for a few months.
I looked on the OD master for what it had for automounts and noticed it had several "stale" automounts for a few servers that are offline.
dscl -u diradmin -p /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /Mounts
I deleted those (e.x. dscl -u diradmin -p LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -delete /Mounts/server1.tld:\\/sharename)
Now things are snappy again. Hope this helps someone else that may encounter such an issue.

NIC configuration for File Share Witness server

Best practices for a DAG is segment the MAPI or production network and the replication network. On the mailbox servers that are members of a DAG, we have two NICs that are configured differently.
What about the server with the File Share Witness (in my case, we are using a file server, there is not an extra Hub Transport server available).
Should this server be configured for two networks as well?
I'm thinking that the heartbeat traffic would be on the replication network? Or not?
I've read numerous documentation on the subject (Technet, MSExchange, ExchangeServerPro, SimpleTalk, etc..) and have never noticed a section about configuring dual NICs on the FSW server. Which leads me to think... that it is actually the "regular"
NIC that is used.
Can anyone confirm that?
Thanks in advance!
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

Right, FSW server doesn't need multiple NICs... FSW server is to just give a vote when you have even number of DAG members to make majority. Exchange is going to just lock a small file on the FSW server on the Witness directory, that is all...
