Users migration

Question

Hi all, We have to migrate local users from an isilon cluster to a new one. Is there a way to do that, and to avoid creating accounts/homedir manually on the new cluster ? Thanks

I am looking for answer on this. Even we are using isilon for home directory purpose. Users home directories are getting created automatically but I want to find a way to auto assign directory quota with container as yes 10gb size only on those folders which gets auto created as user home directories. Please let me know how to do this.

don't think you can do automatic directory quotas ? why not user quotas ?

I checked blog  so they are hard coding script  for automation for implementing quota this should work with 7.1.x

Hello,

While creating SMB share you can choose option for home directories getting created automatically.

You can configure the rules and other settings that govern the interaction between your Windows network and individual SMB shares on the cluster.

OneFS supports %U, %D, %Z, %L, %0, %1, %2, and %3 variable expansion and

automatic provisioning of user home directories.

You can configure the users and groups that are associated with an SMB share, and view or modify their share-level permissions.

Setting quota on directory.

You can write script.

for dir in /ifs/home/*

do

isi quota quotas create "$dir" directory --hard-threshold 1G --container Yes

done

If we use user quotas users will not be able to check how much they have used and how much space is available. Did u check this link ---> There is some script for auto quota assignment but I don't know if it will work for onefs 7.1

this looks very interesting, did not realized you can do that. If you can't test on your cluster, setup a virtual Isilon node and test it there.

no equivalent in likewise ? Peter_Sero wrote: This is Samba stuff, gone since OneFS 6.5

Peter_Sero · Answer

Never seen for Likewise; and 'unsupported' in KB000088910 apparently means: it is no more, it has ceased to be, it is expired and gone to meet its gnumaker, it is pushing the daisy-chains from below, it has kicked the bitbucket --- this is an ex-feature.
