Concluding the upgrade

About concluding the upgrade  Top

You conclude the upgrade from either a UNIX or a Windows client by performing the procedures described in the following table as needed.

Procedure

Complete the procedure if...

Changing to CIFS-compatible security styles

You upgraded from Data ONTAP 5.0 or earlier and want to use a security style that is compatible with CIFS.

Entering codes for new licenses

You purchased any new service or protocol that you are starting to use with the upgrade.

Creating a serial number file

You want to have a serial number file. A serial number file makes it easier for Network Appliance Technical Support to assist you after receiving an autosupport email message from your filer.

Changing to CIFS-compatible security styles  Top

You change the security style of a filer by changing the qtree security style of its root volume. The new security style applies to the root volume and is the default security style for subsequently created volumes and qtrees.

To change the security style of the root volume to mixed or NT file system (NTFS) to make it compatible with CIFS, complete the following step.

Step

Action

1

Enter the following command:

qtree security /vol/vol0/ security_style

security_style is either mixed or ntfs.

  • mixed allows both UNIX-style and Windows NT-style permissions.
  • ntfs allows only Windows NT-style permissions.

Entering codes for new licenses  Top

To enter new license codes, complete the following step.

Step

Action

1

Enter the following command:

license add code ...

code is the license code that you were given when you purchased the license for a service or protocol.

Example

In this example, the license code for CIFS is ABCDEFG and the license code for DAFS is TUVWXYZ.

license add ABCDEFG TUVWXYZ

Result

The filer acknowledges each license, as shown in the following example:

A cifs site license has been installed.
         Use "cifs setup" to configure cifs.
         Run cifs setup to enable cifs.
A dafs site license has been installed.
         Use "dafs setup" to configure dafs.

Creating a serial number file  Top

If the /vol/vol0/etc/serialnum file does not exist on your filer, complete the following steps.

Step

Action

1

Record your filer's serial number.

You can determine the serial number by entering the sysconfig command at the filer console.

2

From a client, create the /vol/vol0/etc/serialnum file and put the filer's serial number in it.
