VNX-for-File Windows rights from Control Station

Same behavior here:

[root@C-VNX1-CS Shared]# setfacl -m u:46373:r mario

setfacl: mario: Read-only file system

[root@C-VNX1-CS mario]# touch test1.txt

touch: cannot touch `test1.txt': Read-only file system

you need to copy them from the cifstools cd, i can't seem to find it on the support website so i am attaching the latest copy i have.

you will need to copy emcgetsd and emcsetsd from unixacltools\linux directory to the control station (use scp). Make them executable (chmod a+x emcsetsd), at that point you are ready to test.

Please do NOT use the control station and esp. the internal mounts for data admin

Use a supported external NFS or CIFS client for that.

Yes I am.

Where can I find emcsetsd executable? I canoot see it in the global path, so I need to use a absolute path?

[root@C-VNX1-CS ~]# e

e2fsck            eu-elfcmp

e2image           eu-elflint

e2label           eu-findtextrel

echo              eu-nm

ed                eu-ranlib

edquota           eu-readelf

egrep             eu-size

eject             eu-strings

elif              eu-strip

else              eval

enable            ex

enc2xs            exec

encode_keychange  execcap

env               execstack

envsubst          exit

eqn               expand

eqn2graph         expect

esac              export

ether-wake        exportfs

ethtool           expr

eu-addr2line      extlinux

Moreover, where can I find some man page or documentation on this instruction?

are you trying to modify windows ACLs from Control Station ? If yes, you should be using  emcsetsd, for example:

./emcsetsd -g  "bob,0x1f01ff,0x13"  /nas/quota/slot_2/root_vdm_1/fs01/dir3/

emcgetsd / emcsetsd are external utils (NOT to be installed in the control station)

you can download them from support.emc.com – just search for emcgetsd – they are part of the CIFS tools package

yes,  maybe smbmount would work as well ..i have not tried.

Apart from using a Windows client - easiest way is to try if you can use a SMB mount on Linux and change if from there.

with a NFSv4 mount  (requires config) you could use nfsv4_setfacl

emcgetsd/emcsetsd are for customers that cant to NFSv4 and need to do this via NFSv2/v3

Exporting a file system? Using what? NFS?

be that as it may - the control Station isnt there for data management

you should know that :-)

Hi Rainer, can I ask you the reason of your suggestion? I'm in a situation in which I MUST use a Linux box to set Window ACLs. Any better idea than using the CS direclty?

emcgetsd / emcsetsd are documented in "managing a multi-protocol Environment on VNX" Manual.

Also see the Parameters guide - there is a param to be set if you want to use them.

To be used on any supported Client - not on the control station

Of course you need to NFS mount the fs

setfacl needs an external client and also a NFSv4 mount
