Can the EMC Celerra Management be downloaded somewhere here?
I don't have copy of my CD's.

Perfect dynamox!

Thanks for the response Dynamox.

Can we be able to audit a particular file system on the DM. After reading the document you provided, i understood that only CIFS users and objects(i think CIFS servers) can be audited. Please correct me if i'm wrong or if i missed anything in the documentation.

I didn't see any file system audited in a windows 2000 & 2003 server. I dont want all the logins to the DM be audited but what i want is logins to a particular filesystem mounted on a VDM needs to be audited.

Hi everyone,
I am able to connect to the Datamover from Celerra Managment console. Using 'Datamover security Settings' snapin, when we clicked on audit policy, an error poped up

"Server Error: GPO service is not available"

What does this actually mean? Do we need to enable or actiave any GPO settings. What do we actually need to do?

Could someone suggest me on the error "GPO service is not availabl"....


Thanks in advance..

did you connect to one of the CIFS servers ?

You may have GPOs disabled on the Data Mover. You can check this using the server_param command. Assuming server_2:

server_param server_2 -facility cifs -info gpo

This will tell you several things:

server_2 :
name                    = gpo
facility_name           = cifs
default_value           = 1
current_value           = 1
configured_value        =
user_action             = reboot DataMover
change_effective        = reboot DataMover
range                   = (0,1)
description             = 1=enable GPO (default), 0=disable GPO)

Notice the default value and the current value. Make sure that the current value is 1. If it is 0, that is your issue. To set it to 1, use the server_param command again:

server_param server_2 -facility cifs -modify gpo -value 1

Notice that "change_effective" says "reboot DataMover" which means that once you make the change, you will need to reboot that Data Mover in order for the change to become effective.

you can do a rolling reboot. Enable GPO on standby datamover, reboot it. Failover from primary to standby and enable GPO there, reboot. Lastly fail back from stanby to primary datamover. CIFS clients will lose connectivity during failover/failback ..so as far as they are concerned ..it's an outage. NFS clients are more forgiving, they will queue IOs and reconnect once datamover is back online. Do you have iSCSI clients ?
