The Flexible SAN environment can be set up to allow
clients to access only the storage pools assigned to it. Otherwise, all of
the clients can be set up to access the same global namespace. File permissions
are based on the operating system on which the files were created. The security
features of the operating system on which the file was created are available
and enforced. Across platforms, the following security rules apply:
- When files created by an AIX client are accessed by a Windows client,
access is controlled by the permissions of the Other permission bits.
- When files created by a Windows client are accessed by an AIX client,
access is controlled by the permissions of the Everyone group.
- When files created by a Linux client are accessed by a Windows client,
access is controlled by the permissions of the Other permission bits.
- When files created by a Windows client are accessed by a Linux
client, access is controlled by the permissions of the Everyone group.
- When files created by a Solaris client are accessed by a Windows client,
access is controlled by the permissions of the Other permission bits.
- When files created by a Windows client are accessed by a Solaris
client, access is controlled by the permissions of the Everyone group.
