how to limit size of individual files copied onto a file server

$
0
0

Hi,

I have a network share a copy process in place, basically its a 128gb shared folder that gets forward on via ftp to another site. I can handle volume size upto 32gb but the individual files max size is 7.5gb, is there a way in server 2012r2 to limit the size of a file rather than a folder, had a look in gpo but nothing seemed to fit the bill?

your thoughts and help appreciated

MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS (44)
A driver has requested that an IRP be completed (IoCompleteRequest()), but
the packet has already been completed.  This is a tough bug to find because
the easiest case, a driver actually attempted to complete its own packet
twice, is generally not what happened.  Rather, two separate drivers each
believe that they own the packet, and each attempts to complete it.  The
first actually works, and the second fails.  Tracking down which drivers
in the system actually did this is difficult, generally because the trails
of the first driver have been covered by the second.  However, the driver
stack for the current request can be found by examining the DeviceObject
fields in each of the stack locations.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffffa8033fb1d30, Address of the IRP
Arg2: 0000000000001d7b
Arg3: 0000000000000000

Hi.
My hardware configuration:
1. my server is running Windows Server 2008 R2.
2. connect server to a iSCSI SAN by using MPIO.
3. use MSDSM for MPIO

I failed one path to the disk, i/o should take another path. But the disk does not work fine.

There ars some events like this:
Event ID 16 mpio - A fail-over on \Device\MPIODisk42 occurred.
Event ID 17 mpio - \Device\MPIODisk42 is currently in a degraded state. One or more paths have failed though the process is now complete.

I have installed KB2522766,kb2460971,kb2406705, which didn't seem to help.

DFSMigration from 2003 R2 to 2012 R2

Hi All,

We have

Domain 2008 R2

DFS servers for file replication - 2003 R2

Is it possible to Install new 2012 R2 member server and migrate all DFS replication partners to this server and decommission 2003 R2 server.

We have one 2003 R2 server in Datacenter and 80 2003 R2 servers in branches offices.

Our Aim is only to decommission Datacenter 2003 R2 DFS server not branch office server.

Is this possible?



Duplicate a lun and present to new server=loss of NTFS permissions?

$
0
0

I have a disk that I am presenting to a 2008R2 cluster. I duplicate that disk on the SAN, so I am basically presenting that exact same disk to 2012R2 server.  I am then losing access to all the folders on that disk, even though tt shows I do have the correct permissions are the root of the disk.  Is there some kind of disk signature problem when you move a disk from a 2008R2 server to a 2012R2 server?  If I seize ownership, it then shows the correct permissions from the old 2008R2 server and then I have access without having to make any changes in the ACL.  Retaking ownership  would not work as it would take days because these are very large luns.  Any ideas?

Please do not guess on this, if you do not know.  I am not looking for threads about move vs. copy NTFS permissions.  Usually, even if you are using the default 500 account for ownership or for administration, I thought that would come across to the new server which would also use its default 500 account. 

Thanks,


Dave




Second array not visible in Disk Manager.

$

I configured 2 RAID arrays (RAID5). Same controller. Installed Windows Server OS on the first Array. However the second array or virtual disk is not visible on the Disk Management. Restarting server and looking at the controller settings the first array status is Normal, the second array status is Ready. (Both listed as virtual disks) If I remember correctly I initialized both arrays. Why is Windows not seeing the second virtual disk/array? This is on a Dell Poweredge server.

Hi All,

We have 2008 R2 Domain 

File replication is configured on windows 2003 R2 servers

I see both windows service "Distributed File System" and "File Replication" on Windows 2003 R2.

Now how I verify if DFS or FRS is used for file replication.

We use DFS to replicate windows file share (User Data)used by users.



ChkDsk stuck at 10% for hours

$

We are running ChkDsk on a 2TB volume and it has been stuck at 10% for 4 hours so far.

This is a virtual machine running on VMWare ESXi hypervisor

The Volume is stored on a Nimble Storage SAN
Using the /f /r options

Has anyone experienced chkdsk running this long?  I know it could take a while, but 4 hours seems excessive and I'm just hoping it's up and running by the next business day.  Anything I can do if it's still running tomorrow morning?  I don't really want to reboot the server mid chkdsk, but we can't have anymore downtime.

We had corruption on one of the volumes which is what prompted me to run chkdsk, normally I wouldn't ever run something like this during the business day, but we were desperate.

NFS Server permissions with everyoneincludesanonymous=0

$
0
0

We have two Windows 2012 R2 servers running Services for NFS.  These servers have an NFS share defined so that an HP-UX server can dump files as part of application integration routines.  This setup has been working great over the past several years and through multiple server upgrades (2003-2008-2012.)  As part of the configuration I had the registry key 'everyoneincludesanonymous' set to '1'.

HKLM\System\CCS\Control\Lsa\everyoneincludesanonymous

Unfortunately, the corporate parent last week pushed out a new policy that sets this key to '0'.  Now, each time the Windows server is rebooted the Unix server no longer has permission to write to the NFS share.  I have to change the key back to '1', restart the NFS Server, and then unmounts/mount the share on the Unix box.  This restores permissions until the next time the Windows server is rebooted.

There is little chance I can convince the corporate guys to reverse the policy change.  I think I could use basic identity mapping so that the write requests coming from Unix are not seen as anonymous.  I can't use AD identity mapping because I don't have access to the domain controllers (corporate guys again.)  I would like to use the basic passwd and group files to allow access from the Unix server.  But I'm not sure how to proceed.

1) Can anyone provide an example of how the passwd and group files should be formatted?

2) How can I tell what identity is being provided by the Unix server when the attempted write is performed?  I assume I need this to create the passwd and group files.

Hope this makes sense.  Thanks in advance.

DFS and Root Scalability Mode

Hi all. I cannot find a answer to what appears to be a simple question.

On Windows sever 2008 R2 running DFSR, is Root Scalability Mode enabled by default?

I can use "dfsutil /root:\\mydomain.local\sales /rootscalability /view" To see if the mode is enabled but I'm wanting to discover if this setting is enabled out of the box? Thanks.


Not Supported error when trying to Resize-StorageTier in Hyper-V Server 2016

$

I'm trying to expand the size of my Storage Spaces virtual disk. 

I have a tiered Storage Pool, StoragePool1, with tiers SSD_Tier and HDD_Tier, with one virtual disk, all set to Mirror resiliency.

Currently the virtual disk shows a capacity of 3.59TB.

I have added several drives to the the HDD_Tier, and now have 8 physical disks with a total 20TB of raw storage. This should give me almost 10TB of usable mirrored storage in the HDD_Tier. 

However, when I try to resize the tier, I get a "Not Supported" error.  I've tried resizing it to just 4TB, just to make sure I wasn't asking for more space than was available.  Here's my result:

[HyperV2016Svr]: PS C:\Users\MyUserName\Documents>  Resize-StorageTier -InputObject (Get-StorageTier -FriendlyName "HDD_Tier") -Size 4000GB
Resize-StorageTier : Not Supported

I've tried setting the virtualdisk to offline in Disk Part, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

How to change Replication group member in DFS

Hi All,


We have 2008 Domain and 

One 2003 R2 DFS Hub server in Datacenter

25 DFS server in branch offices.

We are replacing only 2003 R2 datacenter hub server with new 2012 R2 server. We are currently not in a position to replace 25 branch office 2003 R2 servers.

For testing (Seeding), I Robocopy one of the branch office server data from 2003 R2 datacenter hub server to 2012 R2 server in the datacenter.

Next step is to remove 2003 R2 datacenter hub server with new 2012 R2 server in DFS replication group, but I did not find this option in GUI.

Please suggest.
