The Access Control List functionality in Xsan 1.4 is designed to be compatible with the ACL functionality in Quantum's StorNext file system for Microsoft Windows. However, file and folder permissions issues have been discovered in ACL-enabled Xsan environments where Windows StorNext and StorNextFX systems have been present, even if those systems are no longer part of the SAN.
If you intend to enable ACLs on your Xsan volume and currently have, or intend to have, the affected versions of Windows StorNext clients as part of the SAN, update the StorNext software to the latest version before enabling ACLs.
For Xsan installations that currently have, or have ever had, the affected versions of Windows StorNext clients as part of the SAN, it is suggested that you update the StorNext software to the latest version. In addition, to avoid any potential security concerns, it is suggested that you back-up all data on the volume, delete the volume, recreate the volume and restore the data.
Before introducing StorNext or StorNext clients to the SAN, be sure to update them to the latest version of Stornext or StorNextFX.
