Thanks, thomasb.

I’m a big fan of ExtremeZ-IP and it was the first thing I suggested, but in this case the customer really wants to use the Celerra as a NAS for file storage. I suggested using the Celerra as an iSCSI target to provide storage to a Win2K8 VM running ExtremeZ-IP, but they’d rather not change their storage config so drastically for a small # of Macs at this time. I really wish MOSX included a better CIFS client. Again, thanks for your input.

Hi,

I know this is an old thread, but I just came across it and I was wondering if thomasb ended up moving to Apple’s AD plug-in for authentication & DAVE for a CIFS client. If so, how did it work out? Are you satisfied with DAVE? The project I’m working on now doesn’t involve DFS, but it requires users to use CIFS shares hosted by an EMC Celerra NAS and we’re looking for a better CIFS client than MOSX’s built-in tool.

Thanks!

Did you find a solution to this problem? I just installed a Mac OS X Server 10.4.10 at a customer and their Mac OS 9 clients cannot search an AFP share, though Xsan is not present in this case.

Is it possible that searching is affected by the TCPQuantum setting?:

Thanks for the great advice, everyone. The server migration went flawlessly with all network home directories working as expected.

Thanks for the advice! I’ll let you know how things go when I migrate the server next week. For this migration, I’ll keep the path to the home directories the same on the new server as it was on the old, though obviously it is on different hardware. For future reference, is there a good way to change the paths to a large number of home directories at once, e.g. change a portion of the path for all users at once? Can I archive OD and do some sort of find/replace, or are there LDAP tools that will let me recurse through the database and substitute portions of the home directory path?
