SMB Share for Windows Roaming Profiles - Permissions Issue

[kala531]

Hi all,

We have HPE 3par Storeserv 7200c with OS version 3.2.2(MU4).

We have created an SMB share from file persona for a Windows VDI environment user profiles.

It was created successfully with everyone/full control share permissions and also we can access from client windows VM by //VFS/sharename/ but we are unable to change security permissions for shared folders. The properties security tab shows "Unable to contact active directory to access or verify claim types" message. And after selecting principal and setting permission for it does nothing. I also tried these using MMC, and there it gives error that "the specified group does not exist." And when I try to change owner, it says " the attached device is not working."

As an administrator we can create folder but other users cannot.

Let me know if you need any additional information.

Thanks in advance.

You may want to use the CLI to look at it:

showfshare smb -d

Then try:

showfshare smb -dirperm [-fpg <fpgname>] -vfs <vfs> -fstore <fstorename> <sharename>

Thanks Dennis.

We found our reason. It was rfc2307 was enabled for file persona. Once we disabled rfc2307, our SMB share start working as desired.

We ran

setfs rfc2307 disable
