Networking Issues port on the SnapServer. To resolve this problem, verify that all settings (if using multiple Ethernet ports) on the switch/hub match the setting on the server. When the server is shipped from the factory, both ports are set to autonegotiate. Therefore, the switch/hub must be set to autonegotiate to initially connect to the server. The NT Event Viewer Reports Forced Master Browser Election When SnapServers Are Online SnapServers have the ability to act as a master browser on a Microsoft network. This may cause a message to appear in an NT server's event log about a forced master browser election. SnapServers should lose elections to Windows domain controllers (NT/2K/2K3), but win against standalone Windows servers (NT/2K/2K3) and workstations (all versions); however, users often prefer to prevent this election entirely. The master browser option is enabled by default on SnapServers to allow them to appear more rapidly in a peer-to-peer Windows environment. In some environments that include NT server systems, this may cause the NT server to show warnings about having to force a master browser election in the event log. You can prevent these warning messages by disabling the Master Browser option on the Network > Windows screen. You Try to Mount to a Share on Your SnapServer from Your Linux Workstation and You Receive an RPC Timeout Message Check the firewall configuration to your Linux workstation. Be sure you have not blocked the ability to receive TCP or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) communications. If problems persist, contact Overland Storage Technical Support. You Receive an Access Denied Message When Attempting to Mount a Share on Your SnapServer from a Linux Workstation If you are logged in as root on your workstation and NFS is enabled on your SnapServer, this message can be misleading, causing you to look for security issues, when in fact it could be a command syntax issue. For example, the common Linux mount command: mount 192.168.32.124:SHARE1 /mnt is missing a forward slash (/) in the command, which will return an Access Denied message. The correct syntax should be the following: mount 192.168.32.124:/SHARE1 /mnt Note The share name is case sensitive. Appendix C Troubleshooting SnapServers 207
