New installation will automatically import RAID, shares and iSCSI / FC Targets
After reinstall – select option “join cluster” – the wizard will automatically pull settings from the functioning node and import drives.
If the installation drive dies (the drive on which you have installed euroNAS software), just install euroNAS on a new media.
New installation will automatically recognize and import the hardware, raid and shares.
Additionally if you have saved the settings before – you can restore them via system menu.
Also if you have perfomed the backup of your installation using the installation CD you can install this backup image on a new media. In this case all settings will be restored.
If the drive fails in a redundant raid array (Raid 1, 5 or 6) just go under Software Raid - Raid Info and select option repair and follow the wizzard.
Alternatevly you can replace it by defining the replacement drive as hot spare in the software raid management. Rebuild will then start automatically.
User guest has been assigned to a share (under access control) – still the guests are unable to login to the share.
Windows users are automatically trying to log in with their own local user and password and not with account guest therefore the login attempt will be rejected.
If the share is mapped with user guest - no password then the user will be able to log in.
The easiest way is to enable guest account under network - domain and workgroup when joining the workgroup or domain. In this case all users that are not known to euroNAS will be treated as guests. In guest is assigned to a certain share this users will be able to log in automatically.
