Q:

Setting Linux UID on NFS volume from EMC NX4

I have an EMC NX4 from which there are several CIFS shares with corresponding NFS mount points. The CIFS user ids seem fine but when viewed from Linux they are all 327xx numbers and can't be set from the file system. (IE CHOWN doesn't work - permission denied).
On our other (older) EMC devices we used an MMC app to set the Linux UID for each user. I don't seem to have such an app on the 'Applications and Tools' CD for this new device. Is there some other method for setting these? Did I setup the system incorrectly?

A:

It sounds like the usermapper service on the datamover is not enabled or not running.   If you have powerlink access you can review this document:
PowerLink UserMapper Guide
The MMC Snap in is on the Applications CD, if you can't find it you can always download it from PowerLink also, but you'll need to open a support session via Chat to get the link.  It's not "publicly available" for some reason...
