Creating a virtual disk for SOFS

I am struggling to create a virtual disk for SOFS on server 2016

I have 3 Jbods, each with 3 SSDs and i want to create a 3 column 2 data copy.

However every time i try to create this it fails. It tells me i have the wrong disk setup for resiliency type i want. However why would 3 SSDs per JBOD work?

I can create a mirror with 1,2,3 or 4 columns as long as i dont set enclosure awareness. However as soon as i try to enable enclosure awareness it gives me the error message.

Any help with how this could be set up or what i am doing wrong is appreciated.

DCB-QOS Traffic Class Name, Number and Priorities mapping in Windows

Hi,

As part of a S2D, I have setup multiple DCB QOS policies and traffic classes. but its not clear is the output from Get-NetAdapterQos command returning

OperationalTrafficClasses  : TC TSA    Bandwidth Priorities
                             -- ---    --------- ----------
                                        0  ETS    10%       0-2,6
                                        1 ETS    50%       3
                                        2 ETS    10%       7
                                        3 ETS    10%       5
                                        4 ETS    20%       4

Suppose, from the output above, priority 3 is actually set for SMB traffic(port 445) with a policy and class name "SMB" and similarly priority 7 is set for "Backup".

I believe the above output showing Traffic Class 1 mapping to Priority 3 and traffic class 2 mapping to priority 7. Is this correct?

If so, How can i change the mapping on windows server matching what is default on most of the switches where on the switch traffic-class '0' mapped to priority '0' and traffic-class '1' mapped to priority '1' and so on....

If i'm setting the bandwidth settings on Switch, I think I do have to ensure the traffic class and priority mappings should match with the traffic-class and priority settings on the server. Is that correct? Is there anyway to change the class numbers assigned to the class name? or does it really matter?

Recovery after ReFS events 133 + 513 (apparent data loss on dual parity)

November 9, 2018, 3:27 am

Hi,
I have a single-node Windows server 2016 with a dual parity storage space, on which a bitlockered ReFS volume resides with enabled file integrity. This ReFS volume hosted/contained a ~17TB vhdx file with archive data since its setup half a year ago. This file has now suddenly been removed by ReFS! More precisely, I see the following two events in system log:

  1. Microsoft-Windows-ReFS Event ID 133 (Error): The file system detected a checksum error and was not able to correct it. The name of the file or folder is "R:\Extended Data Archive@dParity.vhdx".
  2. immediately followed by Microsoft-Windows-ReFS Event ID 513 (Warning): The file system detected a corruption on a file. The filehas been removed from the file system namespace. The name of the file is "R:\Extended Data Archive@dParity.vhdx".


I have the following questions:

  1. As 26TB are still used on volume level (constant, not decreasing over time), but only 7TB of files are visible, I assume that ReFS did not yet delete the missing vhdx file.How can I get read access to the corrupt vhdx file again for manual recovery of itsinternal file system?
  2. If I understand dual parity correctly, at least two physical disks must have failed simultaneously for this to happen. I do not see any useful events in the system log regarding this. How can I get any clues, which of the physical disks in my array need to be replaced?
    (Their SMART level is 100%. I plan to run extended SMART self tests on each individual physical disk, but only after data recovery. Still, Windows or ReFS might have logged some clues about the physical disks involved in this checksum error somewhere?)

Thanks.

Auditing all users file access - too much information

Hi, I have enabled a GPO With the following: Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Advanced Audit Policy Configuration\Audit Policies\Object Access -> Audit File System -Success on a file server.
After that, I have enabled successful Create files/Create Folders on a folder for the built-in group Everyone.

That part works fine, I can see when users are creating files on the folders. But I also get a lot of Extreme amounts of other events logged in the Security log, and everything is coming from the backup agent running on the server (NetBackup in this case).

How come that a backup agent is creating the events like this? It makes filtering much harder afterwards. The business requirements is to audit Everyone who is adding files to a specific folder, not all the rest of the server. The server is Win2008 R2.

Example:

An attempt was made to access an object.

Subject:
	Security ID:		SYSTEM
	Account Name:		FILESERVER01$
	Account Domain:		MYDOMAIN
	Logon ID:		0x3e7

Object:
	Object Server:	Security
	Object Type:	File
	Object Name:	\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy58\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-audio-audiocore_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.18619_none_d4cab625fb3adf96\audiosrv.dll
	Handle ID:	0x3c4

Process Information:
	Process ID:	0x1048
	Process Name:	C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpbkar32.exe

Access Request Information:
	Accesses:	WriteAttributes

Adding links to the 'Shared Folders' folder in Server 2012r2

Hi Guys

I created a couple of folders for users after the Server sent out the 'Shared Folders' link to users who join the domain.

Id like to add shortcuts to that 'Shared Folders' folder on the server so the show up in a central place for the users so they don't have to surf to the file server.

As the Administrator I tried to copy a shortcut into the \\FileServer\Shared Folders folder but was denied as I didn't have permission, how can I add these shortcuts please?

Regards

Storage Spaces Direct and Diskpart Automount Policy

November 29, 2018, 1:19 pm

We're using storage spaces direct as a disk target for backup storage.  Our backup product has a direct SAN attached method for backup of VMware virtual machines versus using a proxy that uses HotAdd to send the data over the network.  This is where the Windows OS has block level access to the storage but doesn't need to mount it.  My intent was do to this with HBAs in the physical machines hosting the storage spaces direct volumes.

The requirements for the direct SAN attached storage are to disable the automount feature in Windows.  There's a variety of ways to do this, I would use DISKPART commands:

DISKPART> AUTOMOUNT DISABLE

What I can't find is any documentation anywhere if this is a supported configuration to disable automount in a storage spaces direct cluster.  The only thing I know for sure is that the storage spaces direct cluster as setup currently has this feature enabled.

I think it would be OK to disable it since the volumes are controlled by the cluster service and I'm fairly certain that handles the mounting of volumes for CSV and any other virtual disks directly associated with roles controlled by the cluster.

I'm also not sure this forum is the correct one for storage spaces direct questions, and I'd appreciate a point in the right direction on where to post if it isn't.

Folder Permissions not being inherited by 3rd level subfolders

We are having problems with Folder Permissions being Inherited to the 3rd level folder on Windows 2016 Server.

We have a file server on Windows 2012. We moved a folder "HR" to a new file server on Windows 2016.

Root: E
Folder 1 Name" "HR"
- Sub Folder 2 Name: "Employees"
- Sub Folder 3 Name: "Documents"

1. For "HR" folder we disabled inheritance from root E.
2. Modified the Securit settings under "Advanced Security Settings"
3. Checked "Replace all child objects"

The Folder permissions propogate to folders "HR" and "Employees". However, they do not propogate to the 3rd level folder "Documents" and downwards.

How do we correct this?

Sharing files over SMB to Media Player

January 6, 2019, 7:08 am

Hello,

I have a Windows Server 2012 as part of a domain network.

I also have an Oppo 203 Bluray player which can view files over a network.

I am having trouble getting the oppo to "see" the server and it's shared files.

I also have a standard Win10 PC that is not Domain joined, and the oppo can see that computer and access it's shares over SMB.

I have tried creating an NFS share on the server, and although this now makes the server visible, no directories can be seen by the oppo, so I'm presuming it's something to do with the NTFS security on the folder i'm trying to share. I have given everyone full access to this folder, but still no joy.

How can I make simply one folder accessible by absolutely everyone on the network, even devices such as this oppo media player?

DFS Replication errors

December 27, 2018, 2:41 pm

I have two windows 2016 servers with a DFS file replication connection in between. Domain functional level is 2008 R2.

Replication is intended to move 2 TB of data to a new server, but it is not working properly. It starts and works for almost half an hour and then it stops. Network connection is stable and reliable between servers. Other than event 4202 staging area being higher that high watermark, a few other events are logged in the event log on source server including:

- event 5014: Error: 1727 (The remote procedure call failed and did not execute.)
- event 5014: Error: 1722 (The RPC server is unavailable.)
- event 5014: Error: 1726 (The remote procedure call failed.)

on replication target server, if I try to restart DFS Replication service, hoping to fix the issue, I get Error 1053 "the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"

Any idea on what may be cause or where to look to find the problem?

FaxFinder FF420 File Share PDFs are 0KB (Windows 2012 Standard)

Hello. I have a Multi-Tech FaxFinder FF420 fax server appliance. The server is configured to write the faxes over to a Windows 2012 server file share. We recently upgraded this server from Windows 2000 Advanced Server to Windows 2012 Standard.  Now the faxes that are written to the file share have a file size of 0KB.

I have thought of permissions issues, SMB settings and other security features but if it were a permissions issue the file shouldn't be writable in the first place.

We have a multi function Kyocera that write PDFs and TIFs to the server.  We have users (Windows 10 clients) that access file shares able to read/write.

Any ideas?

I have a Forest A and it has two Child Domains, Domain A & Domain B.

I'm trying to establish DFS-R from Domain A to Domain B. The Connectivity between the Domain Controllers and File Servers is in place on all the required ports (AD, SMB, DFS etc).

As I can access the shares manually between the domains, I'm in the middle of creating a new Replication Group on Domain A.

On the Hub Server (Destination server) page , I get an error after providing the name of the sever, FS1.DomainB.

<<DomainControllerName.DomainB>>.Cannot connect to Domain Controller. The RPC Server is unavailable. 

Please suggest...

Hello,

we are having the following issue:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;968264&sd=rss&spid=11737

BUG:

When psremoting (or winrs-ing) onto a client Win7x64 machine, trying to mount a DFS UNC, it fails with the following error.

[client-1]: PS C:\Users\user\Documents> net use x:\\server\dfsshare /User:company\username ******
net.exe : System error 1312 has occurred.
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (System error 1312 has occurred.:String) [], RemoteException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError

A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.



On the same machine, when mounting another share (sysvol) it does not fail.
[client-1]: PS C:\Users\user\Documents> net use x:\\server\sysvol/User:company\username ******
The command completed successfully.

If I run the same command on any client machine it does fail with the same error.

If I run the same command locally on that same client (client-1) as logged on interactive user, it does not fail.

Remove Physical Disk from Storage Pool

January 7, 2019, 10:21 pm

We have a file server running in Raid 0 which is handled by the OS(windows server 2016)

The components of the pool are:
1. 2 1TB Seagate Barracuda
2. 1 4TB Toshiba SAS

From the pool the virtual disk created with these settings:
1. Layout = Simple
2. Provisioning = Thin
3. Capacity = 1.56TB

Now I am instructed to remove the 4TB from the pool because we will use it in another server.

Is it possible to remove the hard drive safely without affecting the data? I've been into a lot of forums and instructions about removing disk from the pool but their pool layout is in Parity and not in Simple layout. Also from what I understand Simple layout is the software raid version of the Raid 0 hardware raid.

Please give some advise to pull this off. Thanks Everyone.
