Hi Everyone. I thought I should add a few more details. Our 2008 AD domain is now in a 2008 only mode with no backwards compatibility to 2003 AD. So that rules out keeping a 2003 AD server for this storevault to use.
My next thought was to use either local passwords or NIS. This storevault only has a handful of users.
But the data is in an NTFS style qtree. All of the ACLs are based on domain users/groups. Is there a way to map local users/groups to domain users/groups if the filer can't contact/use the domain ?
I'm thinking I may just have to punt and move the data back to real NetApp that is working with 2008 AD.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Everyone. We have just upgraded our Windows AD domain from a 2003 domain to a 2008 domain.
All of our filers are fine, because they are at 7.2.5.1. Except for one. A StoreVault. (I know..) It is at OnTap 7.2.1S9. StoreVault support says the 'newest' version is 7.2.1S10. And that StoreVault will not work with 2008 AD domains.
I asked for a recommendation, they had none.
I checked the CIFS compatibility matrix on NOW, but did not notice that 7.2.1S9 fell outside the chart.
Is anyone on the list trying to use 2008 AD domain with a StoreVault ?
Downgrading back to a 2003 AD domain is not an option. Thankfully, the number of users that depend on this StoreVault is small, so I may look to use the local /etc/password option during a cifs setup, but I'm not sure if that will work either.
Suggestions ?? other than read the matrix better :-)
Thanks,
Paul
