HP NetStorage 6000 Release Note page 3

Dual-port NIC card: Computer Associates Unicenter TNG Framework may have problems properly
detecting and classifying an HP NetStorage 6000 box that is using a dual-port NIC card. If this problem
occurs, one port is properly identified under Network_Storage > HP_Storage and an icon is displayed in the
Unicenter TNG 2-D Map. The other port is classified under Interface > IP_Interface and does not have an
icon associated with it. All traps associated with the HP NetStorage 6000 are sent to the Unicenter TNG
Event Console Log. If using a dual-port NIC card, it is recommended that the Unicenter TNG Event Console
Log is used to manage the HP NetStorage device rather than the Unicenter TNG 2-D map.
Multi-NIC connectivity: Connectivity issues may arise on a multi-NIC HP NetStorage 6000 if a client is
running Windows 95/98 or NT Service Pack 5 and trying to access the NetStorage 6000 by its IP address.
Possible workarounds include upgrading the client to NT Service Pack 6 or accessing the NetStorage 6000
by its system name instead of its IP address.
Host file management: The NetStorage web interface does not allow a host to be added to the local host
file if the host is already present in the host.nis file. A work around is to bypass the web interface and
manually add the host entry to the local host file.
File Security: NT Security Descriptors display the wrong owner information if the domain\administrator
takes ownership of the file. Instead of displaying the owner as domain\administrator,
XXXXX\administrator displays (where XXXXX is the HP NetStorage system name).
File Security: Domain\administrator that have no rights to a file can still change the permissions on a file
without first taking ownership of it.
File Security: If the system is a member of a Windows 2000 domain (configured in mixed mode), with trust
relationships to other domains, then taking ownership of files may not work as expected. Domain users on
NT 4.0 workstations will not be able to take ownership of files stored on the NetStorage 6000. On NT 4.0
workstations, only domain administrators will be able to take ownership of such files. On Windows 2000
workstations, this limitation does not exist, although the user may see an erroneous message box stating the
contrary.
User mapping strategy: An NT to UNIX user mapping strategy (no user mapping, user name mapping or
full name mapping) should be chosen prior to giving end users access to the HP NetStorage 6000. Based
on the mapping strategy selected, the system adds entries to the user map files (even if no user mapping is
selected). Changes to mapping after users have already attached or created files may result in users not
having expected ownership of previously generated files or expected mapping not taking place on newly
generated files.
