Introduction Chapter 1
Overview
The FSV-M3 is a dedicated file server that can be connected directly to a network. Because the FSV-M3 is preconfigured for use as a file server, minimal work is necessary to put it into operation.
Can be managed through a Web browser (via the Web Administration Console)
Operations (such as configuring individual settings, managing users and shares, shutting down the system, etc.) can be controlled remotely through a Web browser.
Supports file sharing in Windows and UNIX environments
Files can be shared among client computers running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows XP Professional, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, UNIX, and Linux. Computers with different operating systems can be used to view and edit the same file. Also, you can limit user access to the server and set access permissions for each share.

Configuring Windows Network Settings
When using this server through Windows, you must configure the Windows settings in the FSV-M3 Administration Console. To configure the settings, in the FSV-M3 Administration Console, click “Network” - “Windows”.
For information about how to configure the settings, see “Windows” in Chapter 3, “Using the FSV-M3 Administration Console” (page 30).
Registering Users
Registration is required for those users who want to access this file server. This section explains how to register and administer users. A user name and password is required for persons to access the shares on the file server via HTTP, CIFS (Windows Network), or FTP (Internet File Transfer Protocol).
Note
The NFS (Network File Service) protocol does not have provisions to allow authentication and authorization at a user level. NFS clients are authorized at the client's IP address level. Thus, any user who has access to an authorized NFS client has access to shares on the file server.
For the other access protocols (CIFS, FTP, HTTP), there are two sets of users that can access the file server.
•Local set
This set contains users that are registered manually and appear in the server’s user list. These are referred to as “local set users”. They are maintained from “Security” - “Users”. These users can change their passwords from the FSVM3 Top Page.
Chapter 2 Basic Use 16
•Windows set
This set contains users maintained on a Windows Primary Domain Controller. They appear when the FSV-M3 is used in combination with a Windows domain. These are referred to as “Windows set users”. You cannot create, modify, or delete these users from “Security” - “Users”. Because the FSV-M3 does not maintain the passwords of these users, change the password with the PDC.
Indications in the “Users” Page
In the “Users” page of the Security menu, each user set is represented as follows in the Source column ([S]: user registration location).
•If the user is a local set user: L (Local; the user is registered on the FSV-M3)
•If the user is a Windows set user: R (Remote; the user is registered in the PDC).
Note
You can configure the settings needed to use the FSV-M3 in combination with a Windows domain from “Network” - “Windows”. For details, see “Network Menu” (page 36) in Chapter 3, “Using the FSV-M3 Administration Console”.
Registering Local Set Users
Register local set users through the FSV-M3 Administration Console.
1 On the FSV-M3 Administration Console, click “Security” - “Users”.
The “Users” page appears.
2 Click “Add User”.
The “Add User” page appears.

Chapter 2 Basic Use 19
Creating Shares
Users can create shares on the server using the FSV-M3 Administration Console. Users can create files and folders in the shares they create. There are two ways of creating shares.
Manual share creation
The system administrator can create shares manually with the FSV-M3
Administration Console.
Automatic share creation
The system creates a default share for each user when the user accesses a specific URL through a Web browser. The shares created this way belong to their specific users, but use the default permissions defined by the system administrator. For details about the automatic creation of shares, see “Automatic Share Creation” (page 22).
Manual Share Creation
Create shares manually through the FSV-M3 Administration Console as follows.
1 Click “Storage” - “Share” on the FSV-M3 Administration Console.
The “Share” page appears.
2 Click “Create Share”.
The “Create Share” page appears.

Select the RAID group of the share that you want to create.
Note
The RAID group name varies depending on the RAID configuration as follows.
•If the RAID configuration is RAID 5 (default), only one RAID group name appears. This name is “VOLUME”.
•If the RAID configuration is RAID 1, two RAID group names appear. These names are “VOLUME 0” and “VOLUME 1”.
For details about changing the RAID group configuration, see “RAID Group” (page 47).
For details about the automatic creation of shares, see “Automatic Share Creation” (page 51).
Click the “Continue” button.
The following page appears.
Configure the following settings.
Share Name
The share name is a string of up to 80 alphanumeric characters. For details about permissible characters, see “FSV-M3 Limitations” (page 66).
Caution
•You cannot assign share names that have already been assigned. Further, the FSV-M3 does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase characters. (Example: “abc,” “ABC,” and “Abc” are all recognized as the same name.)
•When using Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, or Windows NT, enter the share name as up to 11 alphanumeric characters.
Description
Enter a description of up to 256 alphanumeric characters regarding the share. For details about permissible characters, see Chapter 3, “FSV-M3 Limitations” (page 66).
Windows (CIFS)
Select this check box if you want this share to be accessible from Windows.
Windows Attributes
Select this check box if you want the share to retain Windows attributes such as “read-only”, “hidden”, “system file”, or “archive”.
Chapter 2 Basic Use 21

Note
These attributes may conflict with file permissions used by UNIX/Linux clients. Do not select this check box if these shares are used by UNIX/ Linux clients.
Web (HTTP)
Select this check box if you want this share to be accessible from a Web browser.
UNIX (NFS)
Select this check box if you want this share to be accessible to UNIX/Linux clients.

Click the “Create Share” button.
The settings are reflected in the “Share” page.
Set share security.
For details about how to set share security, see “Setting Share Folder Security” (page 58).
Automatic Share Creation
The FSV-M3 can be configured to automatically create shares. Shares are created when users access a specific URL for the first time through a Web browser. The shares are given the name of the users.

Windows Attributes
Select this check box if you want the share to retain Windows attributes such as “read-only”, “hidden”, “system file”, or “archive”.
Note
These attributes may conflict with file permissions used by UNIX/Linux clients. Do not select this check box if these shares are used by UNIX/ Linux clients.

Select this check box if you want this share to be accessible to UNIX/Linux clients.
FTP
Select this check box if you want this share to be accessible through FTP.
Chapter 2 Basic Use 23
4 Click the “Submit” button.
Shares are created the first time users access a specific URL through a Web browser (see “Important”, below). The shares are given the name of the users. (See the note below.)
Important
A share is created for a user when the user accesses the URL below. The share is given the name of the user.
URL http://HOSTNAME_or_IP/home/user name HOSTNAME_or_IP: host name or IP address of the FSV-M3. user name: name of the user registered on the FSV-M3.
(Example) |
If the user name is “tiger”, then the URL is: |
|
http://HOSTNAME_or_IP/home/tiger |
Notes
•To access your share, enter the your user name as follows in the password authentication dialog box.
-Local set users: user name
-Windows set users: domain name\user name
•Because the share is given the same name as the user, if the user name exceeds 12 characters, so does the share name. However, shares with names of more than 12 characters cannot be accessed with Windows 95, 98, Me, or NT. For details, see “Share” (page 48).
Storing Files and Folders in Shares
Files and folders (directories) can be created in shares created with the FSV-M3 Administration Console. Also, the manner in which shares are accessed varies depending on the operating system of the client computer.
Caution
When there is a sudden loss of power to the unit due to a power failure or turning the unit off improperly, stored files or files being edited may be damaged. Make sure you back up your data frequently. For more details regarding backup, see “Data Backup” (page 29).
