Feature

Version 2.0

Version 3.0

CIFS home shares

Clients can access CIFS

home shares in two ways:
\\

\\
\\

\homes
Both access methods point

to the same folder.

Version 3.0 does not include the “homes”

access method. After the upgrade, the “homes”

share will not be present, and clients will need

to use the “username” access method instead.

If you have a policy that mounts the \

\\homes share when

client systems start, you must change the

policy to mount the \\

\\ share.

Local user names

A period can be used as the

last
character of a local user

name.

A period cannot be used as the last character

of a local user name.
Before upgrading, delete local user names that

have a period as the last character and re

create the accounts with a different name.

Local users and local

groups UID/GID range

A unique UID (user ID) or GID
(group ID) can be configured

for
local users and local groups.

The UID/GID range for local users and local

groups is 1001 to 100,000. There is no way to

configure or determine the UID/GID of local

users and local groups. This information is

internal to the FluidFS cluster.
During the upgrade, any existing local users

and local
groups from version 2.0 with a UID/GID that is

outside the version 3.0 UID/GID range will

remain unchanged. Local users and local

groups created after the upgrade will use the

version 3.0 UID/GID range.

Guest account

mapping policy

By default, unmapped users

are
mapped to the guest

account, which allows a

guest account to access a file

if the CIFS share allows guest

access.

Unmapped users cannot access any CIFS

share, regardless of whether the CIFS share

allows guest access.
Guest access is enabled automatically after the

upgrade only if there are guest users already

defined for any CIFS shares in version 2.0.

NDMP client port

The NDMP client port must

be in
the range 1–65536.

The NDMP client port must be in the range

10000–10100.
Before upgrading, the NDMP client port must

be changed to be in the range 10000–10100.

You must also make the reciprocal change on

the DMA servers.

Replication ports

TCP ports 10560–10568 and

26 are used for replication.

TCP ports 10550–10551 and 10560–10568 are

used for replication.

Snapshot schedules

Snapshot schedules can be

disabled.

Snapshot schedules cannot be disabled.
During the upgrade, disabled snapshot

schedules from version 2.0 are deleted.

Internal subnet

The internal (interconnect)

subnet
can be changed from a Class

C
subnet during or after

deployment.

The internal subnet must be a Class C subnet.
Before upgrading, the internal subnet must be

changed to a Class C subnet, otherwise the

service pack installation will fail with the

following message:
“Please allocate a new C-class subnet for
FluidFS Internal Network, run the following
