* transfer buffer size)

For example, consider a Linux Distributed LAN Server that has two 

NICs used for Distributed LAN traffic, serves four file systems, and 

uses the default eight server buffers and 256K per buffer. (See the 

dpserver

 and 

sndpscfg

 

man

 pages for information about viewing and 

modifying Distributed LAN buffer settings on Linux.) For this case:
Required memory = 1GB + (4 * 2 * 8 * 256K) = 1040MB

Configuring LDAP

This sections describes how to configure the StorNext LDAP functionality 

and describes related features in the Windows configuration utilities.

StorNext 2.7 introduced support for Light Directory Access Protocol, or 

LDAP (RFC 2307). This feature allows customers to use Active Directory/

LDAP for mapping Windows User IDs (SIDs) to UNIX User ID/Group 

IDs.

If a Windows user cannot be mapped to a UNIX ID, the user is mapped to 

Nobody. StorNext allows administrators to change the value of Nobody 

by using the file system configuration parameters:

UnixNobodyUidOnWindows 60001

UnixNobodyGidOnWindows 60001

These parameters are located in the file system configuration file on the 

server and can be manually modified by the Windows or StorNext Web 

GUI.

This example results in a memory requirement of less than 

2GB. However, Quantum recommends that all Distributed 

LAN Servers contain a minimum of 2GB of RAM.
