Active Directory Support
The ETERNUS CS800 supports ADS (Active Directory Services) as well as ACLs (Access Control
Lists). This provides the following benefits:
Compatibility with CIFS/SMB domains - NAS shares are able to join CIFS/SMB domains
l
and use domain authentication.
Precise control of file system permissions - Administrators can specify which users
l
and groups can perform what actions.
Robust administrative support - Administrators have the same implicit permissions as
l
they do in Windows operating systems.
Windows 2008, Windows 2008 R2, and Windows 2012 R2 are supported for Active
Directory domain membership.
When you create a CIFS/SMB share, the initial permissions are the same as the
default permissions for a Windows 2003 share with the addition of an ACE (Access
Control Entry) that permits full access to the share for all authenticated users.
Administrators can choose to remove this full access ACE, set up custom permissions,
or leave the ACL (Access Control List) as is if the server is set up in a fully trusted
environment.
2.8.2.2

NFS Protocol

The NFS (Network File System) protocol allows network users to access shared files stored
on computers of different types. NFS provides access to shared files through an interface
called the Virtual File System (VFS) that runs on top of TCP/IP. With NFS, computers
connected to a network operate as clients while accessing remote files, and as servers
while providing remote users access to local shared files. This protocol is used with UNIX
and Linux networks. It can also be used with Windows networks.
2.8.2.3

Application Specific Protocol

The Application Specific Protocol allows users to create Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN)
shares on an ETERNUS CS800 system. RMAN provides the foundation for efficiently backing
up and recovering an Oracle database.
2.8.3

OpenStorage (OST)

With the OST presentation, the ETERNUS CS800 system presents storage servers to a
Symantec NetBackup or Backup Exec media server through a specific Symantec protocol. A
storage server consists of logical storage units (LSUs), which are similar to directories in a
NAS file system or tape cartridges in a VTL partition.
