Software to configure CIFS and NFS on AWS?

Does anybody have experience with software that will configure CIFS and NFS on Amazon Web Services (AWS)?

I suggest that you post this question in an AWS community forum available there : https://forums.aws.amazon.com/index.jspa

  • 7110 OMG, CIF and NFS permission woes. I'm tired and I want to go home.

    OK, here's the dealio...
    I have share exported via CIFS and NFS from our 7110 array running 2010.02.09.2.1,1-1.18
    I have AD configured for CIFS Authentication.
    I have a UNIX desktop so I am using SMB authenticate via AD and talk to the CIF share on the array.
    I have the NFS share mounted using vers 3 on Solaris 10.
    Now, the problem..........
    PERMISSIONS!!!
    Here’s what I want to do,
    Create a file or folder on the CIF and preserve the username on NFS.
    Example, I login as myself via AD, bam I’m on the array.
    Create a file.
    Check the ownership of the file on the NFS mount and it’s suddenly become a series of numbers. Of which I assume are taken from my Windows SID. As Solaris can’t relate my SID to a UNIX username I’m left out in the dark.
    So, I then tried to set up some rule based identity mapping so my Windows login would be converted to my UNIX username, no luck still a series of numbers for me listed against my files.
    I could work around this if I could chown but I can’t even do that as it says chown: filename: Not owner
    What gives? How do I keep my username from CIFS to NFS? HELP!!!!

    Did you have any joy with this?
    I have never been able to determine a consistent configuration for NFS/CIFS sharing on a 7310. Ended up opening access to all on the NFS side (v4) and the CIFS just worked out of the box.
    I am using ID Mapping, with IDMU first, then rule based mapping next. The box picks up the correct UID/GID from AD but doesn't always inherit the user & group for the NFS side.

  • Slow ZFS-share performance (both CIFS and NFS)

    Hello,
    After upgrading my OpenSolaris file server (newest version) to Solaris 11 Express, the read (and write)-performance on my CIFS and NFS-shares dropped from 40-60MB/s to a few kB/s. I upgraded the ZFS filesystems to the most recent version as well.
    dmsg and /var/log/syslog doesn't list anything abnormal as far as I can see.. I'm not running any scrubs on the zpools, and they are listed as online. top doesn't reveal any process utilizing the CPU more than 0.07%.
    The problem is probably not at the client side, as the clients are 100% untouched when it comes to configuration.
    Where should I start looking for errors (logs etc.)? Any recommended diagnostic tools?
    Best regards,
    KL

    Hi!
    Check Link speed.
    dladm show-dev
    Check for collisions and wrong network packets:
    netstat -ia
    netstat -ia 2 10 ( when file transfered)
    Check for lost packets :
    ping -s <IP client> ( whait more 1 min )
    Check for retransmit, latency for respond:
    snoop -P -td <IP client> ( when file transfered)
    Try replace network cable.

  • What is the difference between, Configuration Components and Software Comp?

    Experts,
    Can somebody tell me, What is the difference between, Configuration Components and Software Components?

    Hi,
    Configuration Objects:
    You use configuration objects to help you to structure and organize your configuration data in the Integration Directory
    You can group configuration objects by using configuration scenarios.
    The following configuration objects exist:
    1) Collaboration profile objects
        -Communication Party
       -Service
       -Communication Channel
    2)  Logical routing objects
      - Receiver determination
      - Interface determination
    3)  Collaboration agreement objects
       -   Sender Agreement
       -  Receiver Agreement

  • [SOLVED] How to configure prosody and jitsi to work together?

    Hi,
    I want to use prosody to connect several jitsi accounts on different computers on a LAN. I have followed the Prosody page in our wiki to set up Prosody and some user accounts. The service starts and ss -tul indicates that it is listening on the expected ports. I have created the missing key and certificate files expected by the default setup and placed them in /etc/prosody/certs.
    I have created the account foo@localhost using prosodyctl adduser foo@localhost.
    In jitsi I have created an XMPP account (foo@localhost) on the same host as prosody. The account appears but it fails to connect to the server. Jitsi displays error messages on the console which indicates that the server does not support TLS connections even though these are enabled in the prosody configuration file (and lua51-sec is installed).
    I have tried numerous variations of disabling encryption in both prosody and jitsi but I either get the same error message or jitsi simply hangs while trying to connect to the server.
    So far the only thing that I've been able to find that deals specifically with prosody and jitsi is an episode of the Linux Action Show from last year that skimps on the details of the setup. The various online documentation that I've found seems to be for an older version or Prosody (e.g. Host entries in the configuration file).
    Does anyone have a similar setup working with the latest versions of Prosody and Jitsi? If so, please share your configurations.
    edit
    I went through the Prosody wiki page again today and managed to get it working. I think my problem was in misconfigured paths for the SSL server certificates in the VirtualHost section.

  • Software updater configuration error

    Hope somebody can help...
    I tried to update my N95's firmware via the Nokia Software Updater.
    It was downloading the file (about 135mb) just fine when an error occured after it downloaded around 80mb . I did not make note of the error unfortunately. Now when starting the NSU, the starting screen appears and idles for about 2 minutes. The updater will not start up and comes back with an message saying: "configuration error"
    I have tried to uninstal and re-instal, uninstal and deleting remaining folders that are left behind but no luck. I also tried the port scanning thingy that Nokia suggested but could not find only closed ports on IP Address 127.0.0.1 between 62700-62750.
    So the odd thing is that it worked fine at first and now won't even startup, No firewall settings were changed.
    I would appreciate any suggestions
    I run windows Vista home premium.
    Thanks

    I know it's been a while, but I found another way to solve the annoying "configuration error" and I'd leave it here for someone else. Nokia tells you to turn off the Internet File Sharing in the FAQ of the NSU. Here it didn't work. So I decided if it is a network problem than I'd turn off the ICS. It worked and I didn't have to turn off any of my security software (firewall and antivirus). So.
    Start menu > Execute (or use the Search box in the start menu of Windows Vista) > Services > Find ICS in the list of services  > Right mouse > Stop. Now NSU will find the new firmware.
    Please turn on the ICS again after you finish the update.
    Thanks man! This has been my problem for such a long time!

  • What iMacs run System 9 software in Classic Mode and also iLife in Sys 10?

    I understand that there were versions of System 10 that ran on iMac G3s that would run old System 9 software in Classic Mode, and also would run iLife (special interest in Garage Band and iMovie). What model of iMac would do this? What hardware requirements should I look for? What would be the optimal configuration to do what I'm trying to do?
    Can I hook up an external floppy drive to an iMac? Are those drive still easily acquirable?
    What versions of systems 10 ran in Classic mode? I've heard that System 10 with Classic mode can be buggy. How significant is this? When did System 10 stop running in Classic mode? Is it traditionsal to get System disks included when you buy an iMac off of eBay?
    Thanx.

    Ed,
    The last version that would boot into classic is 10.4.X (.11 last version). That said I was never a fan of classic mode. It never seemed right to me that's why I set those few up as dual booters. They were used in a classroom with pre k thru middle school kids.
    If you are using classic mode and it runs good for you than go for it.
    My computer at school runs at 600 Mhz and has 256 Mb of memory. How much memory would you suggest.
    Tiger will actually run at 256 but would be better at 512 or 768.
    How would a machine like that do as part of a wireless network?
    It should do fine. It will need a special adapter (which I can supply) and the original Airport Card.
    Could it be connected to a network that's administered by a PC?
    Should be no problem. Our's is set up that way and wireless Macs work fine. The problem I've seen w/ PC administered networks is the Administrator him/herself.
    what is a G3 slot loader?
    There were two types of G3 iMacs, the early tray loaders and the later slot loaders.
    700 and 800 eMacs will also run OS 9.
    So I just upgraded our music room at the school. It has iMac G3s 450 - 600s, eMac 1.25s, G4 Minis and Intel Minis. So we're running iLife 09 and 05.
    Garage Band 09 will only run in 10.5.6 and that will only run on a G4 or better w/ a processor 867 MHz or faster. My son runs it on his eMac 1.25 GHz w/ 1.5 GB RAM.
    Oh for your kid check out Kid's Pix 4 it runs in either OS. Our kids are also crazy about Zoombinis.

  • Configuring CIF application log in APO

    Folks
    I was trying to configure CIF Application log from an APO perspective by specifying a function module and the different table fields.
    I configured the same in R3 side using CFC6 but am having trouble finding it in APO
    Does any body know how to dod this in APO ?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the repsonse folks
    I tried /SAPAPO/C41 with detailed option but failed to see the detailed log which I had enabled in R3 through CFC6.
    In R3, I enabled field logging for function module CIF_PRODUCT_SEND. In R3 log, I am able to see the relevant fields form this function module that are being sent to APO.
    However, I also want to see the log from APO, for the same fields, if they were recieved without any errors or sent to postprocessing.
    There is a function module /SAPAPO/CIF_PROD and I need to use the fields of the modules in the APO side CIF logging.is this possible ?
    Would appreciate if any one can share their thoughts on how this can be accomplished
    Thanks

  • Connector specific error - blackberry bold 9790 - desktop software version 6.1 and outlook 2010

    Hi there
    I've recently upgraded my business partners' outlook from 2007 to 2010.  In doing so we've had a corrupt profile which we have had to delete and then replace with a new one.  In doing so his outlook started working again but now his blackberry isn't synching the calendar entries. 
    Here's the basics:
    - Bberry model - Bold 9790
    - Bberry operating system - Blackberry's latest (7.1 I think)
    - Blackberry desktop software 6.1 - this is intentional as we have found in the newer version of hte desktop software that we cannot map our teamsite calendar from outlook and sync the entries
    - Outlook version 2010
    - Calendars we are trying to sync are a personal one from a pst folder and a teamsite one from sharepoint linked to our microsoft exchange set up.
    The error we are getting is a 'connector specific error'
    I have worked with him to create the PTtrace.log and tif.log files.  I've gotten reams of pages; but the errors on todays date (when the problem began) have come up with error 4238, 113, and 12.  We have tried un-installing and re-installing 6.1 as well and no luck.  We have re-set the configuration setup and re-mapped folders; chosen the new outlook profile, etc and still keep getting same error.
    I'm now starting to think that there is a problem with the mapi profile as a start and wonder if outlook needs to repair itself or whether we are getting the error because of a duplicate entry somewhere (though if you asked me to tell you where from the logs I couldn't identify it).
    I'm litterally tearing my hair out because my poor business partner lives and dies by his blackberry.  Really want to try to get this resolved; but need some help and suggestions as I've tried most of the main causes and fixes. 
    Any assistance would really be appreciated so I can put him and myself out of our misery.
    Thanks in advance.

  • [SOLVED] Netbooting with PXE, TFTP and NFS / Numerous errors

    Greetings all, hope you can help me out.
    Been given a task by my company of making a network bootable ICA client (with X and Firefox, with the Citrix ICA client installed) as small as possible to minimize network traffic (as 440 workstations would be downloading the end-product simultaneously, so it'd beat ten bells of proverbial out of the core and edge switches for a little while). I discovered two options. One being to integrate everything in side a cloop image directly inside the INITRD. I have stacks of working INITRDs with their matched kernels yet being my first dabble in to extracting the INITRD, my faffing with CPIO has resulted in me nuking my base layout (Thank god for snapshotting in VMware Workstation!) 4 times, and either getting "Premature end of file" or a copius amount of lines stating "cpio: Malformed Number: <strange characters>" finally ending with "Premature end of file". As a result I went in search of another option, which would be booting off an NFS share. I followed the guide:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dis … t_NFS_root
    ...in order to set up a network booted install of Arch and hit a few snags along the way, probably a result of using multiple operating systems for the TFTP and NFS server as opposed to using what the guide recommends, but I'm not sure as these seem solvable, although I don't know how right now.
    The set up:
    DHCP is provided by a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 VM (AD Integrated) on 172.16.10.17 on a box called "Rex".
    TFTP is provided by another Windows Server 2003 VM by "TFTPd32" which is a free download. This is located on 172.16.10.158 on a box called "Terra".
    The NFS store is provided by OpenFiler 2.3 which is a specialized version of rPath Linux designed specifically for turning boxes in to dedicated NAS stores. This is located on 172.16.10.6, and is called "frcnet-nas-1".
    The problem:
    DHCP is correctly configured with a Boot Host Name (Which is 172.16.10.158) and a boot file name of "pxelinux.0". This is confirmed as working.
    Client gets the kernel and INITRD from TFTP and boots up fine until it hits "Waiting for devices to settle..." by which point it echos out "Root device /dev/nfs doesn't exist, attempting to create it...", which it seems to do so fine. It then passes control over to kinit and echos "INIT: version 2.86 booting" and the archlinux header, and immediately after that it prints:

    ...and, nothing after that, it just stops. Kernel doesn't panic, and hitting ctrl+alt+delete does what you'd expect, a clean shutdown minus a few errors about filesystems not being mounted. It seems /proc isn't getting mounted because init apparently doesn't have the appropriate permissions, and /proc not being mounted causes a whole string of other issues. Thing is, proc gets created at boot time as it contains kernel specific information about the system and the kernel's capabilities, right? Why can't it create it? How come init doesn't have the same privileges as root as it usually would, and how would I go about fixing it?
    I admit, while I'm fairly competent in Linux, this one has me stumped. Anyone have any ideas?

    The idea behind the Windows DHCP and TFTP is that we'd be using an existing server and a NetApp box with NFS license to serve everything off. I would have loved to make a new server which is completely Linux, but my boss, nor the other technician have ever used Linux so if I left for any reason, they'd be stuck if ever they ran in to trouble, which is why I've struggled to get Linux to penetrate our all Windows infrastructure.
    During my hunting around on Google I found a lot of information on making my own initrd, and a lot of it using all manner of switches. I can make them fine, but I figure that I would need to look at extracting the current working one first, adding X, Firefox and the ICA client to it, then compressing it again. Cloop came about when I was looking at DSL's internals. The smaller the initrd, the better, so utilizing this could possibly be a plus too.
    The reason I'm doing this with Archlinux is that I know Arch's internals quite well (and pacman is just wonderous, which is more than I can say for yum), so if I run in to a small problem I'm more likely to fix it without consulting Google. Fair enough though, the NFS booting method is giving me issues I never thought were possible. Ahh, sods law strikes again.
    Addendum: I've noticed something which struck me as odd. Files in the NFS share are somehow owned by 96:scanner instead of root:root. Upon attempting changing, it's telling me "Operation Not Permitted". Further prodding has led me to believe it's an Openfiler thing where GID/UID 96 on the OpenFiler box is "ofgroup"/"ofguest". Chowning / to root:root puts NFS boot right ahead and gives me a prompt, however I cannot log in as root. I've also discovered that chrooting in to the base from my Arch workstation and creating a directory makes the directory owned by ofgroup:ofguest again, so it's an Openfiler thing after all this time. Prodding further.
    Addendum two: For anyone using Openfiler out there, when you allow guest access to the NFS share, be sure to set the Anonymous GID and Anonymous UID to 0. By default it's 96 and as a result when trying to boot you get the errors I experienced. This is insecure and you should use some sort of network/host/ip range restriction. Because the root filesystem has 96:96 as the owner of everything after you install the base layout using pacman (and any changes you make afterward) init and root no longer have the appropriate permissions, user 96:96 (which is "scanner" in Archlinux) has the permissions instead and init, in order to complete boot would need to be "scanner" in order to boot completely.
    Solution is to set Anon GID and Anon UID to 0, chown the entire diskless root filesystem to root, then use a linux desktop to mount the diskless root filesystem, mount /proc, /sys and mount bind /dev, then chroot in to the diskless root filesystem. At this point to clear up any problems with bad passwords, use passwd to change your password. Exit the chroot environment then unmount the diskless proc, sys and dev. Boot up via the network and use your chosen password to log in as root. At this point, start clearing up permissions from the en masse filesystem chown and you should then have a usable diskless root.
    I'll experiment further and clear up some of the remaining permission errors that occured during boot and report on my progress in fixing it. Didn't like the idea of chowning the entire share as root. :S

    If you receive the error message DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005 - you do not have admin rights. So, it's important that you run command prompt as admin.

  • Software Inventory Configuration

    We have Zenworks for Desktops 7.0 SP1 installed on Netware 6.5
    SP6 server.
    Some weeks ago hot patch 6 had been installed. Probably after that
    we can't access Software inventory configuration: --> Manage
    Unidentifed Software --> Edit button from Properties of our
    Inventory Service Object in ConsoleOne.
    When we try to push on this button ConsoleOne not open this choise.
    From one of our computers wit older ConsoleOne version we also received
    message (The database is beeing upgraded. Please try after sometime), when
    try to push this button.
    For the time being all other services of inventory working fine.
    We using latest ConsoleOne version with latest Zenworks snapins instlled.

  • Windows Azure Pack setup - 500 Internal Server Error - failed to configure databases and services

    Hi,
    I am trying to setup the Windows Azure pack to use the site to configure the Service bus 1.1 installation. When I try to configure the Windows Azure Pack I get the following error:
    Admin Authentication Site
    500 Internal Server Error - Failed to configure databases and services: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
    I'm not sure where the logs are to see what is causing this error. I have tried running as admin, running as a different user with no luck.
    thanks,

  • ISCSI, AFP, SMB, and NFS performance with Mac OS X 10.5.5 clients

    Been doing some performance testing with various protocols related to shared storage...
    Client: iMac 24 (Intel), Mac OS X 10.5.5 w/globalSAN iSCSI Initiator version 3.3.0.43
    NAS/Target: Thecus N5200 Pro w/firmware 2.00.14 (Linux-based, 5 x 500 GB SATA II, RAID 6, all volumes XFS except iSCSI which was Mac OS Extended (Journaled))
    Because my NAS/target supports iSCSI, AFP, SMB, and NFS, I was able to run tests that show some interesting performance differences. Because the Thecus N5200 Pro is a closed appliance, no performance tuning could be done on the server side.
    Here are the results of running the following command from the Terminal (where test is the name of the appropriately mounted volume on the NAS) on a gigabit LAN with one subnet (jumbo frames not turned on):
    time dd if=/dev/zero of=/Volumes/test/testfile bs=1048576k count=4
    In seconds:
    iSCSI 134.267530
    AFP 140.285572
    SMB 159.061026
    NFSv3 (w/o tuning) 477.432503
    NFSv3 (w/tuning) 293.994605
    Here's what I put in /etc/nfs.conf to tune the NFS performance:
    nfs.client.allow_async = 1
    nfs.client.mount.options = rsize=32768,wsize=32768,vers=3
    Note: I tried forcing TCP as well as used an rsize and wsize that doubled what I had above. It didn't help.
    I was surprised to see how close AFP performance came to iSCSI. NFS was a huge disappointment but it could have been limitations of the server settings that could not have been changed because it was an appliance. I'll be getting a Sun Ultra 64 Workstation in soon and retrying the tests (and adding NFSv4).
    If you have any suggestions for performance tuning Mac OS X 10.5.5 clients with any of these protocols (beyond using jumbo frames), please share your results here. I'd be especially interested to know whether anyone has found a situation where Mac clients using NFS has an advantage.

    With fully functional ZFS expected in Snow Leopard Server, I thought I'd do some performance testing using a few different zpool configurations and post the results.
    Client:
    - iMac 24 (Intel), 2 GB of RAM, 2.3 GHz dual core
    - Mac OS X 10.5.6
    - globalSAN iSCSI Initiator 3.3.0.43
    NAS/Target:
    - Sun Ultra 24 Workstation, 8 GB of RAM, 2.2 GHz quad core
    - OpenSolaris 2008.11
    - 4 x 1.5 TB Seagate Barracuda SATA II in ZFS zpools (see below)
    - For iSCSI test, created a 200 GB zvol shared as iSCSI target (formatted as Mac OS Extended Journaled)
    Network:
    - Gigabit with MTU of 1500 (performance should be better with jumbo frames).
    Average of 3 tests of:
    # time dd if=/dev/zero of=/Volumes/test/testfile bs=1048576k count=4
    # zpool create vault raidz2 c4t1d0 c4t2d0 c4t3d0 c4t4d0
    # zfs create -o shareiscsi=on -V 200g vault/iscsi
    iSCSI with RAIDZ2: 148.98 seconds
    # zpool create vault raidz c4t1d0 c4t2d0 c4t3d0 c4t4d0
    # zfs create -o shareiscsi=on -V 200g vault/iscsi
    iSCSI with RAIDZ: 123.68 seconds
    # zpool create vault mirror c4t1d0 c4t2d0 mirror c4t3d0 c4t4d0
    # zfs create -o shareiscsi=on -V 200g vault/iscsi
    iSCSI with two mirrors: 117.57 seconds
    # zpool create vault mirror c4t1d0 c4t2d0 mirror c4t3d0 c4t4d0
    # zfs create -o shareiscsi=on -V 200g vault/iscsi
    # zfs set compression=lzjb vault
    iSCSI with two mirrors and compression: 112.99 seconds
    Compared with my earlier testing against the Thecus N5200 Pro as an iSCSI target, I got roughly 16% better performance using the Sun Ultra 24 (with one less SATA II drive in the array).
