I can't seem to get User Name Mapping working, would appreciate any advice. My 2nd server can't read any of the names from the SFU name server, even though it's communicating.
Setup" I have a Windows 2003 DC, with Services for Unix running. I have a Windows 2008 Server with Hyper-V running. I need to make some windows shares (on a SAN) available via NFS to my VM's. This is to setup an Oracle RAC database on, and Hyper-V doesn't pass through the Fiber to the VM's, so a shared NFS mount is the only way to do it (with Hyper-V). I have advanced mapping in place and have correctly followed the directions at http://blogs.msdn.com/sfu/archive/2007/10/02/configuring-user-name-mappi ng-part-2-simple-mapping.aspx to get SFU name mapping working. It works from the DC but not a member server. The DC is Win2k3 Standard, the Hyper-V server is Win2008 Advanced. If I create a shared folder in the DC, then go to the NFS Sharing tab, then click 'permissions' the 'add' button is enabled and the list is populated. If I click add, I can choose the accounts I have mapped. However, on the Hyper-V machine (Win2k8), if I go to NFS Sharing, then 'manage' then 'permissions' the 'add' button is disabled. If I manually put in an (existing) name, say 'oracle' in the 'Add Names' box and click 'ok' it says "The name oracle could not be resolved'. I have the Properties under "Services for NFS" correctly pointing to the DC as the User Name Mapping server. I have a .maphosts entry that correctly identifies the Hyper-V server as a valid client, and I also have a "+" rule for default. (anything to get it to work). I also tried disabling all the local firewalls. The event log on Win2008 shows NfsServer Event ID 1007, "Server for NFS successfully obtained mapping information from User Name Mapping". No other errors in the event log. It's as if the Hyper-V server isn't communicating with the DC. Any ideas? == John == ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
