NTFS permssions - checkpoints
We have a problem with accessing checkpoints.
We use Celerra replication. On our source Celerra, we had NTFS permssions set for the local Administrators group. Our domain group was a member of that local Administrators group.
This did not give us NTFS permssions to the replicated file systems on the destination. Checkpoints were made of the replicated file systems.
Last week, we changed NTFS permssions on the source so that our domain group has permissions directly. We can now access the replicated file systems on the destination Celerra, and newly created checkpoints, but we cannot access the checkpoints created prior to the change.
Is there any way we can change NTFS permssions on the older checkpoints, or otherwise gain access? We don't even see a permssions tab in Windows Explorer on the folders of the older checkpoints.
Thanks...
Think about it.
If you access the destination filesystem of a running replication, you are using a cifs server on the destination datamover which is different (and not replicated) than the source cifs server.
This destination cifs server has its own local Administrators group ...
I am not sure if adding the Domain Administrators to this local administrator group would solve the issue.
There is no way to change windows ACLs on checkpoints.
Peter-
Trust me, I have thought about it and I do understand the issue. By the way, the Domain Adminstrators and our our team's group are members of the local Adminstrators group on both the source and destination Celerra. I have mapped a drive to the destination C$ share as the local Administrator, and the local Adminstrator account is also denied access.
If there is no way to change the windows ACL on the checkpoints, we can accept that and move on. It's just been frustrating working with EMC support over three days, explaining the situation repeatedly, starting webex sessions where the tech on the other end takes hours to try a thing or two, running out of time and starting over from scratch the next day with a new tech.
Early in each support call I have asked if there is a way to change the windows ACL on the checkpoints, and I have never been given a straight answer.
I was hoping that there might be a work around with a Linux account or NFS access.
Thanks,
Marty

emc216579 is interesting, but it does not seem to provide a solution.
