Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: HP OpenVMS Common Internet File System V1.1 SPD 82.42.03 DESCRIPTION This software product description explains the HP OpenVMS Common In- ternet File System (CIFS) for OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS Integrity servers. HP CIFS provides users with seamless file and print interoperability between OpenVMS and Windows-based clients. The OpenVMS file and print services are based on the popular open source product, Samba, from Samba.org. The software runs on OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS Integrity server plat- forms. It is similar to implementations that are in place today sup- porting Linux and UNIX operating environments. Use of the CIFS requires OpenVMS Version 8.2 or later for AlphaServers and OpenVMS Version 8.2-1 or later for Integrity server systems. HP CIFS supports Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, and Windows Vista clients. FEATURES Domain Support HP CIFS can act as a Member Server of a Windows 200x Active Directory domain. HP CIFS can act as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) in its own domain, but cannot act as a PDC in a Microsoft Windows domain. HP CIFS is compatible with LDAP enabled Samba PDCs (Primary Domain Con- trollers) both as BDC (Backup Domain Controller) as well as a Member server. October 2008 Browser Services Network browser services are provided by HP CIFS. Cluster Services HP CIFS can be installed on any node in an OpenVMS Cluster. OpenVMS Cluster configurations are fully described in the Software Product De- scription for HP OpenVMS Cluster Software (SPD 29.78.xx). HP CIFS for OpenVMS can run on multiple nodes of an OpenVMS Cluster with access to the same SAMBA$ROOT directory provided they are running OpenVMS Al- pha Version 8.3 or later or OpenVMS Integrity servers Version 8.3 or later with a common RIGHTSLIST and SYSUAF database. Based on this set up, HP CIFS supports simultaneous file access by all nodes in the clus- ter. In the SAMBA$ROOT directory, HP CIFS maintains common accounts database and common configuration information. It also maintains node- specific configuration information in the same directory. A separate instance of HP CIFS can also be run in the cluster but this node must use a different SAMBA$ROOT directory. For more information, see the OpenVMS release notes for the Alpha or Integrity servers version you are running. File Services HP CIFS provides clients with a remote file system that appears as a transparent extension of the client systems' local computing environ- ment. HP CIFS allows users to share OpenVMS and Microsoft Windows files with simultaneous access and sharing of files between Microsoft Windows and OpenVMS. Security on files is implemented by mapping Windows se- curity to OpenVMS security. HP CIFS depends on VMS auditing for au- diting facility. 2 Printing Services Users can share printers connected to both AlphaServer and Integrity server systems or OpenVMS Cluster systems, as well as network-based printers such as LAT printers and PrintServers. Print shares are sup- ported in Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) envi- ronments. PC clients can print files from their desktop operating sys- tems as well as from PC applications. Multiple print shares may also be defined for a single printer. In addition, OpenVMS printer queue functionality is provided. HP CIFS supports raw, text, NT style and all PostScript (DCPS) print- ers supported by OpenVMS. Selected PostScript printers may need the HP DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS (DCPS) software to provide access through the OpenVMS queuing system over TCP/IP or DECnet. The HP DCPS product provides PostScript and DEC ANSI printing to selected industry- standard PostScript printers. See the HP DCPS Software Product Descrip- tion (SPD 44.15.xx) for a complete list of PostScript printers sup- ported by HP OpenVMS. Network Transports HP CIFS supports the TCP/IP network transport software. It utilizes the industry standard TCP/IP protocol running on the host server. This allows an OpenVMS host system to interact with a Microsoft Windows client or server to provide remote file, print, and authentication services. HP CIFS provides remote access to numerous computers at the same time. This Common Internet File System runs over TCP/IP by using the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol found in Microsoft Windows for file and printer access. HP CIFS has been developed and tested with the HP OpenVMS TCP/IP Services product. Third party TCP/IP solutions that interoperate with the OpenVMS Operating system will be supported on a best case basis. Network Basic Input/Output System (NetBIOS) is supported with inter- face to LMHOSTS file, WINS and DNS NETBIOS name resolution. 3 Security HP CIFS security on files is implemented by mapping Windows security to OpenVMS security. Thus, HP CIFS depends upon time proven VMS se- curity mechanism for accessing files. It also provides trust relation- ship support. 4 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS Processors Supported All AlphaServer systems supported by OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.2 or later are supported by HP CIFS for OpenVMS Alpha. All Integrity server sys- tems supported by OpenVMS Version 8.2-1 or later are supported by HP CIFS for OpenVMS Integrity servers. OPTIONAL HARDWARE Network Interface Controllers For the TCP/IP transport, HP CIFS supports the network hardware de- vices supported by the specific TCP/IP product. See the Software Prod- uct Description for HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (SPD 46.46.xx). For information about what software versions of HP TCP/IP for OpenVMS are supported, see the section SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS and for other TCP/IP products, contact the vendor.
