Isilon Owner Inheritance on New Objects
We're in the process of migrating our file data from a Windows server and CIFS server on a VNX 5400 to Isilon. On our old servers, the local admin group is made the owner of any new files/folders created by admin and non-admin users. On the Isilon, the local admin group is only made the owner of new files/folders when an admin user creates them. When a non-admin user creates a new file/folder, they are made the owner which we don't want.
How do I get the Isilon to function the same as our old servers and make the default owner the local admin group for all new files/folders?

Hi jerm,
On the Isilon, whomever creates the file is the owner of the file. There is not a good way to change that automatically on the Isilon cluster itself.
There is an option to manually change the owner using the chown command. Depending on your workflow, that could be incredibly tedious without some sort of script. Scripts are at your own risk, and not covered under Isilon Support.
You do also have the option of working with your account team to create a feature request.

that non-admin users are owner of a file they created is windows default behaviour.
