How to

Here is a template to request a CIFS share, based on the email CIT sends back after submitting the form:

Remote_User

(grabbed from logged-in NetID)

Email

(grabbed from logged-in NetID)

Your Name

Oliver Habicht (change!)

Administrative Contact (NetID)

crcf

Alternate Contact (NetID)

oh10 (use for all CCB shares we process)

Your Organization

Chemistry IT

Brief Description of Desired "share"

Petersen group share (change!)

Desired "share" Name

\\files.cornell.edu\AS\CHM\Petersen (change!)

  • CIT makes it a path name for OSes which don't support DFS.
    • They have to do this by hand since their automation scripts do it incorrectly. That is why we are to ignore the email automatically sent to us when the share is first created. (smile)

Desired "share" Size

150 GB (or whatever size one wants to pay for; required; 150 GB is default)

Type of "share"

CIFS (Microsoft or Mac) Or NFS, if that's what's needed (CIFS is default)

ALERT THRESHOLDS: Emails will be sent to the "administrative contact" at 2 different "percentages-full". You may alter the defaults if desired. WARNING LEVEL:

80 (default)

CRITICAL LEVEL:

95 (default)

Asynchronous Replication (Requires Snapshots)

No (default)

Snapshots (highly recommended)

Schedule-B: allows ~1 month file restoration (Schedule-A is default)
(Per CIT: Almost everyone uses the Schedule-B to maximize their file restoration abilities.There is no $cost difference, and it has no impact on your "usable capacity", as the 20% that is "reserved" for snapshots (not available to you) is used for either schedule.)

Disaster Recovery Protection desired?

Yes (default)

CIFS: Admin AD-Group

AS-Chemistry-IT

CIFS: Enable Access Based Enumeration?

No

  • Rare use: "Yes" for a ChemIT-test share, 1/16/14, since "hiding" of inaccessible directories was desired (testing for NMR share set-up).

NFS: Export Requirements

if NFS share requested, required to specify.

If NFS, list IPs or router's IP. Include ChemIT's router, for debugging:

132.236.183.9 <gate.it.chem.cornell.edu>

("none" is default)

Chart

Account

A58xxxx (change!) Leave "SubAcct" and "Organization" blank.
