NAS 226

I just plugged in my new IBM NAS 226.
Does anybody have any suggestions for what to do or what not to do before I move live data to it?

Your best bet is probably to RTFM.

That's why I ended up being responsible for it. Nobody else here know jack. Then of course IBM want's lots of $ after the purchase for support so they don't list anything I've needed to know so far.😕

This is a real world situation. 🙂

After sale support doesn't have anything to do with reading the docs that shipped with the product. Unless you somehow ordered it without docs (silly if you and no one around you knows about it) or they somehow didn't provide them in which case you should call 1-800-ibm-help (er whatever) and rip a strip off someone.

There isn't anything strange or special you have to do. Fire it up, do basic partition and security config and then use it.

Yeah, I've done all of that and have cifs and NFS working. Both 1gb cards are working good. I use the 10/100 card for secure management. All of the UNIX users mapped to NT users. I haven't tested NB Datacenter yet. I suspect that may need some attention. I just can't believe that 80 designers on UNIX boxes (HP, Sun, SGI, IBM) will not have any issues if I make this active now. I just thought someone might be familiar with advanced issues I may encounter. Sounds like there won't be any. Hey, I'm all for a perfect one day enterprise implementation.
