Deploying ShareFile Drivemapper via Group Policy in a XenApp environment

Drive Mapper Group Policy Example

This guide is a basic example on how to enable Drive Mapper for ShareFile users in Active Directory. This is one example of a possible configuration to only allow Drive Mapper to run for specific users. You must have access to Active Directory Users and Computers and Group Policy Management.

Step 1:

Create a new Security Group. This example creates a Security Group named “ShareFile Users”

User-added image

Add the ShareFile users to the security group. In this case, John Doe is our ShareFile user.

Step 2:

Put all users in an Organizational Unit. This guide assumes all users are in the same OU and will use Group Policy precedence and filtering to disable and enable for the appropriate users. For this example, an OU named “Demo” is created under the domain.

User-added image

Make sure at least two users exist for the example.

This example uses two users, Demo User and Colm. ShareFile Users security group also resides in this OU.

User-added image
Step 3:

Create two new Group Policy Objects in the Group Policy Management Console. This example users “DriveMapperEnabled” and “DriveMapperDisabled”.

User-added image
Link both policies to the OU created in Step 2 named Demo.

User-added image

In DriveMapperDisabled set the policy for Enable Drive Mapper but do not check the box.

In DriveMapperEnabled set the policy for Enable Drive Mapper but make sure you do check the box.

Note: This is the user policy, not computer policy.

Step 4:

Set security filtering on the Group Policy Objects. The desired behavior is for Drive Mapper to be disabled for all users except those which belong to the ShareFile Users security group. The policy security filtering for DriveMapperDisabled should include all users. The default “Authenticated Users” should suffice for this.

User-added image

Click on the DriveMapperEnabled and add the Security Group “ShareFile Users” and then remove “Authenticated Users”.

User-added image

Now each policy has filtering so that all users should have Drive Mapper disabled with the exception of ShareFile Users.

Step 5:

Verify that the Group Policy Inheritance is correct in the Demo OU. Click on the Demo OU in Group Policy Management Console. Click on the Group Policy Inheritance tab.

Make sure DriveMapperEnabled has a higher precedence than DriveMapperDisabled. This will ensure that the enable policy is run after the disabled and allows the appropriate users to use Drive Mapper.

ShareFile Drive Mapper is slow to load

If experiencing slowness in Drive Mapper, try increasing the cache size to which Drive Mapper has access. You can do this by navigating to your system tray hidden icons, right-clicking the Drive Mapper application, choosing Settings, and increasing the cache size.

Drive Mapper is an API driven tool that only caches local data, and the files seen in the directory are often not actually housed on your local computer. Many users sometimes fail to understand that actions they perform will not be as responsive as in other areas of the File Explorer, seeing as how they are dependent on network activity. Frequent directory changes and working with larger/numerous files will affect how the program functions.

The application is fastest when you are navigating among common drives, the size of data which is less than the cache setting. When you exceed that setting, Drive Mapper has to dump data to make room for more data, and files or folders that you were using and accessing very quickly are now much slower, as the application has to re-download the associated files. Having an increased cache will help you keep more data on the machine and improves performance.

Regularly restarting the affected computer on at least a daily basis, and verifying the version of software installed is the most current, are recommended.

7022924: The pvmove command fails on clustered LVM volume groups

There are three possible solutions:

1. Put all but one node in stand-by mode, perform the pvmove command, then activate the nodes again

Advantages: The ocfs2 filesystem remains mounted with resources still running

Disadvantages: All resources are running on one node during the pvmove operation

Procedure:

a. On a three node cluster run:

crm_standby –node=node3 –update=on

crm_standby –node=node2 –update=on

b. From node1, run pvmove /dev/mapper/IMAGES1

c. vgreduce vg-images /dev/mapper/IMAGES1

d. pvremove /dev/mapper/IMAGES1

e. Activate the standby nodes:

crm_standby –node=node3 –update=off

crm_standby –node=node2 –update=off

2. Wait until there is little I/O to the volume and attempt the pvmove.

Advantages: The ocfs2 filesystem remains mounted with resources running across all nodes.

Disadvantages: The pvmove command is not fully cluster aware, so I/O load would have to be minimal. There is still a risk the pvmove command will hang.

Procedure:

a. Wait for I/O to be minimal.

b. pvmove /dev/mapper/IMAGES1

c. vgreduce vg-images /dev/mapper/IMAGES1

d. pvremove /dev/mapper/IMAGES1

3. Stop the filesystem resource, run pvmove on one node and restart the filesystem resource.

Advantages: The LVM volume is isolated to one node and the pvmove command has all it’s requirements met.

Disadvantages: Requires clone filesystem downtime during the pvmove.

Procedure:

a. Stop the clustered filesystem resource. This will cause the filesystem to be unmounted and the resources using that filesystem should stop.

b. pvmove /dev/mapper/IMAGES1

c. vgreduce vg-images /dev/mapper/IMAGES1

d. pvremove /dev/mapper/IMAGES1

e. Start the clustered filesystem resource.

7022736: Event and Alert dashboards are not loading when the sentinel is upgraded from 8.1.0.1 to 8.2

This document (7022736) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

Sentinel 8.2

Situation

The exception called “mapper[hits] cannot convert from long to integer” is being thrown.

Resolution

This issue is fixed in 8.1.1. Those who upgrade the sentinel from the version prior to 8.1.1 to 8.2 needs to follow the below workaround.

1) Save the kibana index with another name (.kibana-temp)
curl -XPOST “http://localhost:9200/_reindex” -H ‘Content-Type: application/json’ -d’
{
“source”: {
“index”: “.kibana”
},
“dest”: {
“index”: “.kibana-temp”

}’
2) Delete the .kibana index
curl -XDELETE ‘localhost:9200/.kibana’

4) Transfer the data from the temporary index(.kibana-temp) to the .kibana index,

{

“index”: “.kibana-temp”
},
“dest”: {
“index”: “.kibana”
}
}’
5) Delete the temporary index
curl -XDELETE ‘localhost:9200/.kibana-temp’

Cause

When the default mapping is being applied by elasticsearch when we are adding dashboards and visualization in elasticsearch instead of kibana UI, The exception called “mapper[hits] cannot convert from long to integer” is being thrown because of the mapping applied by the elastic search.
