Samba compatibility with other file systems for migration, tiering is limited. Specific compatibility with and support for Persistent ACLs and Named Streams are some of the issues that may arise when combining Samba with other file systems behind the ARX. Samba configurations should be reviewed by F5 Sales Engineering; Please submit a copy of smb.conf file to F5 support. Supports original (SMB) protocol Red Hat Linux 5.5 No Yes Requires ARX v5.1.7 or greater Sun Solaris 10, 9, 8 MPNS 3,4 No No Consult your F5 representative for details on Sun support support for Solaris requires Samba. Samba compatibility with other file systems for migration, tiering is limited. Specific compatibility with and support for Persistent ACLs and Named Streams are some of the issues that may arise when combining Samba with other file systems behind the ARX. Samba configurations should be reviewed by F5 Sale Engineering; Please submit a copy of smb.conf file to F5 support. Supports original (SMB) protocol Notes: 1. F5 Networks supports, v3 over TCP/UDP and v2 over UDP. There are namespace-configuration options to choose a subset of available protocols. 2. F5 Networks requires all shares within a Volume to support the same network-file-protocol level(s). In heterogeneous environments, a Volume uses the highest file-protocol level amongst its file-server shares. 3. F5 Networks supports multi-protocol file sharing (concurrent and access); referred to as MPNS. MPNS appears under the Protocol heading for that NAS or file server that supports multi-protocol file sharing through the ARX. 4. and multi-protocol support on these platforms requires an installed Samba service. See Samba under for more supported operating system levels. 5. F5 Networks supports virtual snapshots for namespaces in ARX v3.x and greater. 6. In general, F5 Networks does not provide support for product versions that are no longer supported by the respective vendors themselves. 7. The ARX cannot use NBT (netbios-over-tcp, port TCP/139) to communicate with file servers running Windows Server 2008 or later. For these file servers, the ARX needs to use native TCP access (TCP/445). This restriction is due to recent changes in support in the Windows operating system. Since TCP/445 has been the preferred transport for since Windows 2000, F5 has no plans to remove this restriction. 6
