|
| SnapOS 4.0 |
| The following information applies only to the 4.0 release
of the SnapOS. |
| Virtual Machine Upgrade |
| All Snap Servers preconfigured with SnapOS v4.0 include the
latest version of the Virtual Machine (VM). The VM allows you to use SSL,
SnapExtensions such as Server-to-Server Synchronization, and other applications
based on Java™ technology. |
| Command-Line Utilities |
|
Two command-line utilities are available to help you automate some processes
for your Snap Server. Both utilities can be installed by downloading Util_Zip.exe
from http://www.snapappliance.com/support.
Unzip the file to a computer running Windows 2000, NT 4.0, or XP that
has network access to the Snap Server to be updated. (For UGUpdate, the
computer must also have access to the domain controller.) Details on using
these utilities are included in the zip file.
|
|
OSUpdate — Use the OSUpdate program to update
the SnapOS from a command line. |
|
UGUpdate — Administrators of large domains and user groups
can employ this utility to automate the refresh procedure when new users
are added. |
| Tip You
can automate these processes by using a script or batch file to update multiple
Snap Servers. |
|
| General SnapOS |
| Unless otherwise noted, the following information applies
to all version of the SnapOS. |
|
Upgrading to SnapOS 4.0— SnapOS version 4.0 runs on all Snap
Servers. To upgrade your Snap Server to the latest version of the SnapOS,
see the Upgrade Guide. |
|
Upgrading the Virtual Machine — Versions of the SnapOS prior
to 3.4 may not include the VM software component, or may include an earlier
version that should be upgraded. You can add
or upgrade the Virtual Machine at any time by using the browser-based
Administration Tool to run the upgrade file (Snap_ServerSync.sup),
available for download from the Snap Appliance Web site. |
|
Server Number Label Change — In some versions of the SnapOS
prior to 3.4.x, the server number was called the serial number. The server
number is identified as S/N on the label affixed to the rear or bottom
of the Snap Server, and consists of from four to seven numbers. |
|
AFP over AppleTalk is not supported from Mac OS X 10.1x —
The Snap Server does not support the AFP protocol over AppleTalk on Mac OS X 10.1
or higher. Rather, a Macintosh system running OS X 10.1x will automatically
connect with AFP over TCP/IP. |
|
AppleTalk must be enabled for the Snap Server to appear in the Apple
Server List — The Snap Server will only appear in the server list
if AppleTalk is enabled on the Snap Server. Do not disable this protocol
if Macintosh systems running 10.1.x or higher need access to the server.
|
|
Windows 95/98 File Name Support — A file or folder created
on a Snap Server from a client running any version of Windows 95 or 98 that
contains certain characters in its name cannot be opened or deleted using
Windows 95 or 98. For example, a folder or file name with the character
à (Latin small letter a with grave, code page 437) can be created
on the Snap Server using Windows 95 or 98. However, after it is created,
the file cannot be opened or deleted with Windows 95 or 98. It can, however,
be deleted using Windows NT, 2000, or XP. |
|

Snap Server using Mac OS X version 10.x |

Snap Server with Mac OS X. |
