Permissions and access rights on share resources
File Share and NFS Share permissions must be managed via the Cluster Administrator tool versus the
individual shares on the file system themselves via Windows Explorer. Administering them through
the Cluster Administrator tool allows the permissions to migrate from one node to other. In addition,
permissions established using Explorer are lost after the share is failed or taken offline. To access the
permissions, see
NFS cluster-specific issues
In addition to the user name mapping best practices outlined in the
there are additional recommendations.
For convenience, all suggestions are listed below:
Divide ownership of the file share resource between the resource groups, which are
in turn distributed between the virtual servers, for effective load balancing.
Verify that the physical disk resource for this file share is also included in this group.
Verify that the resources are dependent on the virtual servers and physical disk
resources from which the file share was created.
