Nas Server Name (Host Name) - Fujitsu ETERNUS DX S5 Series Design Manual

NAS Server Name (Host Name)

NAS Server Name (Host Name)
The default NAS server name is automatically set for the ETERNUS DX according to the following rules:
DX<10-digit ETERNUS DX serial number> (12 digits in total)
The NAS server name can be changed to any name by using ETERNUS Web GUI or ETERNUS CLI. For the setup
procedures, refer to "NAS Server Name Settings" in "Configuration/Operation Guide (NAS)".
In addition, set a NAS server name with 14 characters or less.
Because the NAS server name (or NetBIOS name) is not broadcast, when a NAS server name is used for CIFS
access, make sure that the name resolution is enabled in the DNS server.
For local user authentication, the specified NAS server name is used as the hostname.
For Active Directory authentication, the NAS Engine of the ETERNUS DX uses the first 14 letters of the NAS server
name plus the CM number ("0" or "1") as a computer name. In addition, the computer name is registered in the
Active Directory authentication server.
After the NAS server name (NetBIOS name) is changed, the authentication server must be set again. If the Active
Directory authentication server information has already been registered before the NAS server name (NetBIOS
name) is changed, perform the following operation:
1
Delete the configuration information for the Active Directory authentication server before changing the
NAS server name.
To delete the information, use the "Set Authentication Server" function in ETERNUS Web GUI or the "set
nas-ad" command in ETERNUS CLI.
2
Change the NAS server name.
To change the information, use the "Change NAS Server Name" function in ETERNUS Web GUI or the "set
nas-server" command in ETERNUS CLI.
3
Set the information for the ETERNUS DX and the Active Directory authentication server again.
