Because the CIFS protocol on your lab server uses Novell CIFS, and because Novell CIFS provides
access to only NSS volumes, the Storage Location object must use SSH.
To create an SSH Storage Location object:
1 Start iManager by entering the following URL in a browser Address field:
http://IP_or_DNS/nps
where IP_or_DNS is the IP address or DNS name of your OES 2 server.
If you receive a Tomcat error, see
2 Log in to iManager as the Admin user.
3 Click the Roles and Tasks icon
4 Click File Access (NetStorage) > New Storage Location.
5 In the Object Name field, type
StorLoc_hostname
where hostname is the name of your lab server. This is the name of the Storage Location object
in eDirectory (for example, StorLoc_myserver).
6 In the Display Name field, type
Linux_Home_Directories
This is the name that users see in the NetStorage directory access list.
7 In the Directory Location field, type
ssh://IP_or_DNS_Name/users
where IP_or_DNS_Name is the IP address or full DNS name of your lab server (for example,
cifs://myserver.mysite.company.example.com/users).
IMPORTANT: Protocol designators, such as ssh and cifs, are case-sensitive on OES 2 servers.
Make sure you don't type the common uppercase (SSH or CIFS) out of habit.
8 Click the Browse icon
9 Browse to and select the SERVERS Organizational Unit object.
The new Storage Location object will be created in the SERVERS organizational unit object.
10 Click Create > OK.
10.2.3 Adding the Object to a Storage Location List
Storage Location Lists are required for granting access for users, groups, or containers
(Organizational Unit objects) to Storage Location objects.
1 In the list of tasks below File Access (NetStorage), click Assign Storage Location to Object.
2 Click the Browse icon
This field contains the user, group, or OU object that is granted access to the Storage Location
object.
3 Click USERS > OK.
