Dell DX Object Storage – File Gateway Deployment Guide
If you select Yes, complete the following:
Cluster name – name of the Dell DX Object Storage cluster. This must match the value
of the Dell DX Object Storage "cluster" parameter in the node.cfg file and be the same
target cluster as the one configured for all CFS mounts.
NOTE: If a cluster name is already present, use the <Backspace> key to erase the
name and enter a new one.
Do you want me to email you the Root UUID for CNS? –The root id is critical to recovering the
name space in the event of a name space server failure and should be saved in a safe location.
The email function only works with SMTP servers that do not require authentication.
If you answer Yes, complete the following:
SMTP email server – SMTP email server that should be used to send the email. For
example, mail.host.com. A mail account of 'admin' at the specified mail server is
assumed (i.e. admin@mail.host.com) as the sending account. Mail servers without an
admin account will not be able to send the root uuid email.
Your email address – The email address to which the root id should be sent. For
example, name@company.com.
NOTE: Administrators who experience email send errors should consult
/var/log/caringo/smtp.log.
If you answer No, the utility will confirm that a new root id for the name space has been
created with a message similar to the following:
Generated New Root Anchor [f223011d1fa56f67cf79a87a5de45901]
NOTE: If the configuration utility detects that a root id already exists it will ask you if you
would like to create a new one. Answering 'yes' to this question will create a new root and
delete all local CFS state information (spool, cache, etc.), as you will not be able to access the
information in the shares once the name space root has changed. The configuration files for
all shares will remain intact. You must stop CFS and CNS prior to attempting to create a new
root id.
The script will ask if you would like CNS to be started once you confirm the root id. 'Yes' is
recommended as a functioning namespace is required for CFS configuration. The created configuration
file will be located in: /opt/caringo/fabric/etc/cns.conf. Manual editing of this file is not
recommended unless directly advised by your technical support contact.
NOTE: The name space must remain online at all times to ensure CFS can obtain the needed file
system information. If CFS cannot connect to the name space, it will send permission denied errors
and block new file writes.
