Group Quota For an Active Directory User Does Not Work Description Cause Workaround Group quota is defined for an Active Directory group; however, when a group member consumes space, the actual usage of the group does not grow and the group limitation is not enforced. The PowerVault NX3500 quota enforcement is performed based on the UID and GID of the file (UNIX) or the SID and the GSID of the primary group of the user (NTFS), if defined. For Active Directory users, the Primary Group setting is not mandatory, and if not defined, the used space is not accounted to any group. For group quota to be effective with Active Directory users, their primary group must be assigned. To setup the primary group for an Active Directory user: 1 Open the Active Directory management. 2 Right-click on the desired user. 3 Go to the Member Of tab. 4 The group you need should be listed. Click the group and then click the Set Primary Group button. Now quotas will take effect for the user's group. NAS Dashboard is Delayed Description Cause NAS dashboard metrics is delayed and does not show the updated values as soon as it updated. The NAS Manager view is refreshed every 40 seconds but the information regarding specific metrics is collected in different intervals, due to which there is no correlation between screen refresh to actual metrics refresh. 174 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
Group Quota For an Active Directory User Does
Not Work
NAS Dashboard is Delayed
Description
Group quota is defined for an Active Directory group; however,
when a group member consumes space, the actual usage of the
group does not grow and the group limitation is not enforced.
Cause
The PowerVault NX3500 quota enforcement is performed based
on the UID and GID of the file (UNIX) or the SID and the GSID
of the primary group of the user (NTFS), if defined.
For Active Directory users, the Primary Group setting is not
mandatory, and if not defined, the used space is not accounted to
any group. For group quota to be effective with Active Directory
users, their primary group must be assigned.
Workaround
To setup the primary group for an Active Directory user:
1
Open the Active Directory management.
2
Right-click on the desired user.
3
Go to the
Member Of
tab.
4
The group you need should be listed. Click the group and then
click the
Set Primary Group
button.
Now quotas will take effect for the user's group.
Description
NAS dashboard metrics is delayed and does not show the updated
values as soon as it updated.
Cause
The NAS Manager view is refreshed every 40 seconds but the
information regarding specific metrics is collected in different
intervals, due to which there is no correlation between screen
refresh to actual metrics refresh.
