Change NAS Server Name

Overview

This function changes the server name (host name) specified in the storage system that is used for the NAS system.

This function is used in a Unified Storage environment.

Caution

  • When performing an Active Directory authentication, the ETERNUS DX S5 series' NAS engine uses the NAS server name as the NetBIOS name. If the NAS server name is changed, the Active Directory authentication server must be reconfigured.

  • If the Active Directory authentication server has already been registered before changing the NAS server name, perform the following operations.

    1. Delete the setup information for the Active Directory authentication server before starting this function.

    2. Execute this function to change the NAS server name and then register the Active Directory authentication server again.

    Refer to [Set Authentication Server] for procedures on how to delete and re-register the Active Directory authentication server setup information.
Note

  • As a factory default NAS server name, "DXyyyyyyyyyy" ("DX" is fixed and "yyyyyyyyyy" indicates the serial number of the storage system) is specified for this storage system.

  • To revert back to the default NAS server name, clear the "Name" field and click the [Change] button.
