6.0 HP X9000 File Serving Software File System User Guide (TA768-96043, October 2011)

• If the directory path to the share includes a subdirectory, be sure to create the subdirectory
on the file system and assign read/write/execute permissions to it. (X9000 Software does
not create the subdirectory if it does not exist, and instead adds a /pub/ directory to the
share path.)
• For High Availability, when specifying IP addresses for accessing a share, use IP addresses
for VIFs having VIF backups. See the administrator guide for your system for information about
creating VIFs.
• The allowed ports are 21 (FTP) and 990 (FTPS).
Managing configuration profiles
A configuration profile specifies a set of global FTP parameters that are in effect on the nodes listed
in the profile. The vsftpd service starts on these nodes when the cluster services start. Only one
configuration profile can be in effect on a particular node.
Adding a configuration profile
To add a configuration profile from the GUI, click Add Profile on the FTP Config Profiles panel.
On the Add FTP Profile dialog box, specify the appropriate parameters for the profile and select
the servers where the profile will be active.
To add a configuration profile from the command line, use the following command:
ibrix_ftpconfig –a PROFILENAME [-h HOSTLIST] [-S SETTINGLIST]
For the -S option, use a comma to separate the settings, and enclose the settings in quotation
marks, such as “passive_enable=TRUE,maxclients=200”. To see a list of available settings
for the profile, use the following command:
ibrix_ftpconfig –L
