Changing Windows client global properties

This topic describes how to view and change the global properties of a Windows-based client driver.

Context

Using the Microsoft® management console (MMC) you can view and change the following SAN File System global properties:
  • The DisableOplocks property controls the setting of the Oplocks feature that provides improved CIFS performance by caching file data. The default value is 0, which indicates that the feature is enabled.
  • The DisableShortNames property controls the setting of the ShortNames feature that enables the generation of the MS DOS 8.3 name format. The default value is 0, which indicates that the feature is enabled.
  • The LogInternalErrors property enables or disables internal error logging. The default value is 0, which indicates that the logging is disabled.
  • The WriteThrough property forces all cached writes to be synchronously flushed to disk. The default value is 0, which indicates that this action is disabled.

Steps

  1. Launch the SAN File System MMC snap-in from the Start menu by clicking Programs > Administrative Tools > IBM TotalStorage SAN File System client for Windows.
  2. Click Global Properties.
  3. Double-click on the global property that you want to change.
  4. Change the value to either enable or disable the property setting.
  5. Click OK to close the window.
  6. For changes to global properties to take effect, reboot the Windows® client.
