Ix4-300d: User name / permissions

Hello,
i've acquaired a ix4-300d which seems to work fine in general as the configuration is accessible through the web interface and i could also access the shares which already existed until activating security.
I am working with a Win7 User account that looks like "Firstname Lastname". When I try to access the shares using the Storage Manager, it asks to set a password for user "Firstname Lastname". After setting a password, there is no new user added to the user page, also i cannot add this user manually as a blank is not supported in a user name. Although I would consider this behaviour to be a bug as there might be several windows users using blanks within their user names, i tried to rename my account to just "Firstname" which didn't effect my ability to access my shares.
Any ideas what I can do?
Best Regards,
BlindFish

Hi BlindFish,
The password you enter in Storage Manager should match the password for the currently logged-in user on the local computer. If the computer user name is not set up as a user account on the Lenovo network device, you will need to do so.
Storage Manager uses the currently logged in Windows user account to connect to authorized Shares on the selected network storage device. If the Windows user name matches a user account set up on the device, Storage Manager will request the password to provide access to secured shares where that user has access permission. If the Windows user name does not match a valid user account on the device, Storage Manager will display only Public Shares.
You can change your Windows user account so it does not contain any spaces like you did, but there would need to be a user created on the NAS that matches the Windows user account name.

Problem active directory importing users at ix4-300d sw ver 4.1.108.32627

Installed new ix4-300d onto network, added to SBS 2008 domain and can log into NAS with domain\administrator account . In users & groups can see domain\administrator account along with local admin account. Click on sync with AD, no errors, but never get any users in the list
Whats the problem ? I need to get users from AD imported to get shares working.
Please help as customer is not happy.

Hello blue256
If you entered a Organisational Unit in the Domain Management page, please try clearing the OU field and try re-adding the unit to the domain.
After that is done, please try checking if the domain user and groups are accessible from User and Groups page.

Ix4-300d - unable to joint the domain

Unfortunately when I came into work today, our ix4-300d wasn't allowing us to get into the web interface(attempted after we noticed that our nightly backups wasn't completed successfully the last 2-3 nights). Lenovo's tech support had us do a factory reset on the device and then we were asked to update the firmware on the unit to 4.1.108.32627.
Now I'm unable to connect us back to AD to reset all of the permissions for everything. The unit doesn't seem able to sync with the NPT server which is also the DC, DNS, DHCP, and file server. I had the correct IP address in for the time server but I turned it back on auto detect since the unit was giving me a sync error. I had also changed one of the two NIC within the Network interface to the same IP, subnet, and Gateway it had prior to this issue. I left the other NIC set to auto to ensure I could still get in the web interface. When I ping the IP I received from the auto-generated IP, I get a successful ping, but when I ping the IP address that was manually set, it Times out. At one point I had both NICs set to auto so it could just grab an available IP from the DNS and pinged the name FQDN of the device, it was still trying to ping the old IP address.
should state that the one that had originally set this all up has left the company and they stuck me on this assignement since I was/am "the most qualified" to get it fixed. Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.
Unfortunately tech support cut our conversation short because they are stating that I never registered my product(which is a bit unlikely knowing the one that set this up) and this apparently cut our waaranty down to a 1/3 of the time that was advertised. Little upset with that aspect of the situation to say the least, but I'm hoping this community could assist where the Lenovo techs couldn't..

Hello Phenix51
Sorry that you are having issues configuring the unit. Regarding the warranty status, if the device is showing up as having an expired warranty we can still provide assistance via email and forums. If the status is incorrect, the lenovo registration team should be contacted from emails here.
Regarding the issue you are experiencing, please double check that the steps for connecting the unit to Active Directory are being followed, search for "Configuring Your ix4-300d Network Storage to Use Active Directory" in the updated user manual for the ix4-300d.
If you are still unable to connect the unit to the domain, please double check your network configuration's from before the firmware update are still valid. An email should have been sent out to you after the call with support, use that to send a email reply with logs, screen shots, etc that could help with narrowing down what the issue is.
If you could also PM me your incident number I could keep watch on it for updates from you.

any body knows ,what is user name and password ?!!!

Trying to install - can't get past run page on which I must enter my user name & password - helP!!!

I am trying to initially install firefox - when I get to page where I must enter "user name" and "password," I follow prompt and enter Michele-PC\Michele but nothing happens and I
can't complete installation by getting to Firefox wizard set up

Is you Windows user account an administrator account? If you don't have proper permission to install software on the system, you need an administrator to enter their username/password

How do I disable administrator username and password entry to access ix4-300d

With the recent version 4.1.102.29716 update, I am now FORCED to enter a username and password to get into my "home based" ix4-300d NAS. This has already been a MAJOR pain for my nedia server setup, in that I am no longer able to create a network drive to one of several NAS folders on to my home network.
My question therefore is, how do I DISABLE the function of having to enter an administrator username and password to gain entry into my ix4-300d?
Thanks,
Bill

No hazzle, just do it.
This is only for admin purposes. You are still able to place your media into individual user shares or put it in the public area where they will be accessible for everyone, even if you set 'security' on.

How to get current logged-in user name in data access driver or in universe

In universe, to get the current log in user is via @Variable('BOUSER').
Right now, I need to be able to get the user name in the data access driver. I am writing a customized data access driver because we need to patch some where clause on the the query generated by the universe based on the logged-in user info. I only think of using end_sql parameter or adding an universe level filter to patch the @Variable('BOUSER') to the query, which would not work if user want to use customized query.
Can anyone tell me how to get currentBO user name from connection server ? or how @Variable('BOUSER') is translated into the logged-in user name in the universe?

I do not know your EJB Service. But you should pass the credentials of the current logged on portal user to your service. That's not by default I think.
I had a similar problem with CAF developed webservices. I had to turn on permission checks in my web service and passed the credentials via logon ticket.

What is the proceedure for replacing a hard drive (after failure) for RAID 5 with IX4-300D?

I have the IX4-300D with 4 hard drives (identical Seagate drives) using RAID 5.
Someday a hard drive will fail and I and I have to replace it. I read through the users manual briefly and I didn't see any documentation on how to perform a hard drive replacement and not lose any data.
So here are my questions:
1) I know per the instructions that Lenovo prefers using identical hard drives. Let's say in 2 years, 1 hard drive fails. Most likely, the same model Seagate hard drive will not be available. So will using a replacement hard drive by the same manufacturer with similar specifications work?
2) Will the front panel (or the software) tell me which hard drive has failed?
3) What is the proceedure for replacing a hard drive after a failure occurs? I read that the IX4-300D is not hot-swappable. So do I just power the IX4-300D down, replace the hard drive, and turn it back on?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi exceptionalht,
It is best to replace the hard drive with one that is the same manufacturer, rotational speed, and capacity, so it does not have to be exactly the same model.
The front panel should show which drive has failed. If not you can check the web interface to find out.
That is the basic procedure for replacing a hard drive. You can see a more detailed instructions here: Installing hard drives in an ix4-300d

I need confirmation, please help me! (about adding new hdd on my ix4-300d)

Hello,
I buy recently a Lenovo ix4-300d, I have installed one hdd seagate 2To (ST2000VN000).
I saved many documents on it..
Today I want to install 2 others hdd WD 1To (WD10EZEX).
After reboot a message tells me I need to erase all data on the news disks before I can use it, so I confirm, all seems ok.. After that a message appear on the left "2 disks unused".
Now (step 3 page74 on the .pdf guide) I need to check the box "add drives to storage system" and click confirm to activate the news disks, so I do, but I have this message:
"Vous devez supprimer les données existantes pour pouvoir modifier la configuration du disque.
Cochez cette case pour continuer."
(in english "You must erase existing data for change the disk configuration" or something like that)
I don't want to loose all the data on my first hdd already in use.. ..and the 2 others news disks are empty.
So, there is my question:
if I check the box and click continue what "existing data" will be erase??
existing data on all hdd?? Or just on the new one??
nb: Sorry for "my english" but there is no french section in the forum, and the assistance don't answer me by email, and on the phone there is an answerphone tells me "for help if you don't have the error number code, you must go on the forum, bye.." .. .. I hope my question is understandable.
Thanks

Hello tictictac
Sorry that you experienced data loss, however it was preventable if a backup had been made as recommended.
From the screen shot you sent it looks like the drives were already added to the existing array after the first drive overwrite request. With the array being made up of mixed disk models and none of the disks showing any green stipes indicating overwrite selection, I can not say for certain what caused all the disks to be wiped. I suspect that is was taken as a RAID change and all disks were wiped from there.
For future reference please check the device support page to see the guides, FAQ's, and download the full user manual( in French here ) and check with LenovoEMC support in your region. The Europe support region has several languages available to choose from including the France number +33 17048 0388. The full list of Europe numbers can be found here.

Insufficient SQL database permissions for user 'Name: NT AUTHORITY\IUSR SID: S-1-5-17...

Hi,
I have a customized SharePoint page that takes user input data, validate some of the data, then writes the data to a SharePoint list. If an exception occurs, it will write the error to the ULS.
All was working well in the test environments.
However, recently we noticed that in the QA environment, when it's trying to write to ULS, it causes another issue:
Insufficient SQL database permissions for user 'Name: NT AUTHORITY\IUSR SID: S-1-5-17 ImpersonationLevel: Impersonation' in database 'SP_F1_Config' on SQL Server instance 'SQL01'. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below. The EXECUTE
permission was denied on the object 'proc_putObjectTVP', database 'SP_F1_Config', schema 'dbo'.
I've traced through the code and found that it fails on the line:
SPDiagnosticsServiceBase.GetLocal<LoggerError>();
where LoggerError is the logger class inheritng SPDiagnosticsServiceBase
I have also googled around today, but the most positive solution provided
on this page was to manually modify SQL object permission, which I believe we should not do, and would not be supported by Microsoft.
So the questions are:
Why is AUTHORITY\IUSER used for SPDiagnosticsServiceBase.GetLocal()? Should that account actually be allowed to access SharePoint databases? (This is an intranet environment and using claim based/Windows authentication, no no anonymous access would be allowed
anyway).
I've checked the Application Pool account permissions in SQL, comparing the environment that works and the one that doesn't work, and the permissions/roles/schemas look identical on server and database level. Where else can I check?
On the environment that works, I logged on as SharePoint administrator, created a new SharePoint Visual Web Part solution in Visual Studio, just to test writing to ULS. Then I press F5 in Visual Studio to debug it. It also has the same problem.
It just seems like somehow the user's identity (or whatever the identity SharePoint required) was not passed to SPDiagnosticsServiceBase.
Any suggestions, or even better, solutions would be really really much appreciated!

Thanks for your sharing, it will be userful to the people who stuck with the same issue.

Ix4-300d iSCSI disconnect Windows 2012R2

Hello Everyone,
I just recently purchased (3 days ago) an ix4-300D and updated it to the latest patch. I have 4 x WD 3TB Disks and they are configured with a raid 0 configuration. I then have 2 NICs (not bonded) and using the second port for the iSCSI LAN (192.168.100.100, Jumbo Frames 9000) and the 1st port for accessing the device (192.168.1.100). I carve out 3 TB iSCSI LUN (with CHAP) and give it a name. My Windows Server sees this (under the 192.168.100.X network) and I"m able to bring it online, mount it, format it and use the LUN. I then start copying about 2.5 TB of Data off an ix2 back to this Ix4 and about 1/4 through the copy, the iSCSI disconnects and the actual unit is frozen., It won't respond to web interface on the 192.168.1.x LAN either. I have to actually unplug it and then plug it back in for the unit to respond. I know that iSCSI works on the Window Server as I replaced a custom NAS Server using OpenFiler and worked for over 2 years w/o issues/reboots or anything else. The only thing that has changed is the NAS box (the ix4-300d). Can anyone think of anything I could be doing wrong? What to check? I am thinking it is a bad unit but I want to check everything first.
I will say the only thing that *could* be out of line (but is VERY doubtful is the problem) is that 3 of the WD drives are 3TB Reds and 1 is a 3 TB Black. I'm going to remove the black drive and redo the entire unit to see if that resolves the problem but I doubt it will. I know the Reds are "certified".
I have already removed the Jumbo Frames just in case (though the windows networking card supports Jumbo Frames 9000 since the old SAN was working with these w/o issue).
Thoughts anyone???

Hello CPXGreg
Using a mixed disk array can cause instabilities, so I do recommend that you try using the unit without the WD Black disk for at least testing.
Next, there are various factors that could cause or contribute to a firmware lock like this. Usually this is caused by media server crashing, which then escalates to a full firmware lock. I recommend checking that media server has been turned off for now and any unused protocols. If the unit still locks up I recommend that you contact LenovoEMC support to have a dump report from the unit reviewed. This way we can check what may be at the root of the issue.

UPS not recognized by Lenovo IX4-300D

Hi there,
My new IX4-300D is not seening Xfinity Pro Series 2000VA 1200W Uninterruptible Power Supply connected by USB.
QNAP TS-269L on the same subnet has no problem seeing the same Xfinity UPS.
QNAP TS-269L is presently setup as a master. In GUI added IP addresses for QNAP TS-459 Pro II and Lenovo IX4-300D as slaves.
QNAP TS-459 Pro II sees the UPS on QNAP TS-269L, but Lenovo IX4-300D is still unaware of the UPS.
I am using GUI on QNAP and IX4-300D because I am not familiar with Linux and command line.
I can connect to QNAPs using WinSCP.
I have two exactly the same UPSs and would prefer to connect IX4-300D to UPS via USB directly.
If direct connectivity is not possible, I would like IX4-300D to at least recognize that it is a slave.
What can be done about it? Please provide instructions. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Tom

Hello TuToTom
I have been unable to find a specific listing of what USB driver the unit uses, however the user manual lists the usb port as the serial connection. With most UPS devices that list the usb port as a serial power it usually means that the unit uses a usb to serial (rs232) adapter internally.
The Lifeline NAS devices support USBHID-UPS enabled UPS devices. Most APC models, dell, and eaton units can or do use this driver. This would be different than the usb connected serial link method.
I recommend contacting the ups manufacturer to confirm how the usb port on your ups unit functions and proceed from there.

Ix4-300d can I run Rsync copy jobs accoss VPN

I want to set up a point to point VPN to an offsite location with an ix4-300d at each location then run copy jobs between the devices. By necessity these will be different subnets (172.16.16.x and 172.16.20.x) The user guide seems to indicate that the devices have to be on the same subnet. I need a definitive answer. Can I install an ix4-300d at each location and schedule copy jobs between the two?

Hi NASty,
The two NAS devices will have to be on the same subnet. You can find more information on the following support page: Device-to-device replication overview

Steven DeSalvo

Hi StevenDE2012,
Based on the error message "The report server has encountered a configuration error. Logon failed for the unattended execution account. (rsServerConfigurationError)", it seems that the Unattended Execution Account settings in Reporting Services
Configuration is not correct.
Reporting Services provides a special account that is used for unattended report processing and for sending connection requests across the network. Unattended report processing refers to any report execution process that is triggered by an event rather than
a user request. The report server uses the unattended report processing account to log on to the computer that hosts the external data source. This account is necessary because the credentials of the Report Server service account are never used to connect
to other computers. To configure the account, please refer to the following steps:
Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the report server instance you want to configure.
On the Execution Account page, select Specify an execution account.
Type the account and password, retype the password, and then click Apply.
In addition, please verify you have access to the Report Server database by following steps:
Go to SQL Server Reporting Services Configuration Manager, make sure the configuration is correct.
Go to Database, Verify that you can connect to the database.
Make sure you are granted public and RSExecRole roles.
Reference:
Configure the Unattended Execution Account
Configure a Report Server Database Connection
If the problem is unresolved, i would appreciate it if you could give us detailed error log, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
Thanks,
