Troubleshooting a SAN File System client

This topic provides an overview of how to resolve problems with SAN File System clients.

SAN File System supports clients running on these operating systems:
  • AIX® 5.1 (32-bit only)
  • AIX 5.2 (32-bit and 64-bit)
  • AIX 5.3 (32-bit and 64-bit)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux™ Advanced Server 3.0 running either SMP or Hugemem kernels in WS, ES or AS editions
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 (32-bit)
  • Sun Solaris 9 (64-bit)
SAN File System supports clients that run on these Windows® operating systems:
  • Windows 2000 Advanced Server
  • Windows 2000 Server
  • Windows 2003, Standard Edition
  • Windows 2003, Enterprise Edition
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 a UNIX® client are accessed by a Windows client, access is controlled by the permissions of Other.
  • When files created by a Windows client are accessed by a UNIX client, access is controlled by the permissions of Everyone.
