Name mapping

You can use Storage Manager to specify name mapping entries to map users from different platforms.

  • Name mapping conversion rules
    An ONTAP system keeps a set of conversion rules for each SVM . Each rule consists of two pieces: a pattern and a replacement . Conversions start at the beginning of the appropriate list and perform a substitution based on the first matching rule. The pattern is a UNIX-style regular expression. The replacement is a string containing escape sequences representing subexpressions from the pattern, as in the UNIX sed program.
  • How group mapping supports multiprotocol access to Infinite Volumes
    Group mapping improves the accuracy of permissions that appear when NFSv4.1 clients display the ACL of a file or directory that has NTFS file permissions. If an Infinite Volume supports both NFSv4.1 ACLs and SMB, you should configure group mapping, which is similar to user mapping.
  • Name Mapping window
    You can use the Name Mapping window to specify the name mapping entries to map users from different platforms. If an Infinite Volume supports both NFSv4.1 ACLs and SMB, you can also configure group mappings.
