File permissions on NAS shared folders
This seems to be more of a policy question than a technical one. From a best practices standpoint, the rule of “least privilege” seems pretty straightforward. Users in certain divisions, business groups and organizations should only have rights to those shares. Beyond that, the ability to create, delete, modify and so forth, should be determined [...]

Access to an EMC SAN
If memory servers me correctly, you can attach an AS/400 to a SAN via a scsi channel or a fiber channel you would just need the appropriate IOA to connect the SAN to each partition. A fiber switch would probably be your best bet. Be careful since you have EMC disk though. At a previous [...]

NAS V’s Clusters
The REAL comparison should be Ployserve cluster vs. a NAS cluster. At that point, it is similar. A typical NAS head is just an Intel-based Linux box that serves up files via NFS/CIFS/iSCSI. You can do the same with a clustered file server. The comparison comes when you get down to management. Is polyserve Windows-based? [...]

Synchronous Replication and Data inconsistency

san consideration for backup: hba
I would not recommend that. It will cause a bottleneck – especially when backing up the disk to the tape. You should look at a dual-port adapter ot two separate adapters. The dual-port adapter could create a bottleneck on the bus, depending on your system. If you get two separate adapters, try to put them [...]

MSG – CPF3291 File Restored with different library for depended-on files
I’m not positive, but if you restored a library to a different name and the original one is there, it may have made the new logicals based on the physical files in the original library since they were there, rather than the physical files in the new restored library.
