Scenario:

• Install Openfiler on USB-Stick to boot OS without changing DOM
• Preserve and access Raid data with Openfiler (former data structure of EMC)

Solution: 

• Install Openfiler on USB stick (see https://forums.openfiler.com/viewtopic.php?pid=10635) -> you can use VMWare
• Change /boot/grub/menu.lst to redirect console-output to serial port
• the same for /etc/inittab
• Plugin USB stick in SS4200
• Change Bios-Settings to boot from USB-stick
• startup
• Recovery of Raid/LVM-Structure (see http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8874?page=0,0)
• data is now available, but not configurable
• integrate solution so you can access the settings in GUI
• wget http://fitxers.oriolrius.cat/2185/remake_vol_info (fix mounting points and openfiler config)
• config LDAP:

          Check use Local LDAP

          Server: 127.0.0.1

          Base DN: dc=openfiler,dc=nas

          Root bind DN: cn=Manager,dc=openfiler,dc=nas

          Rot bind password: ‘rootpassword’

• Samba works like a charm after configuring the shares
• To provide the shares I made a symbolic link. (ln -s /mnt/md0Container/md0Region/samba/shares/EMCShare /mnt/md0Container/md0Region/OpenfilerShare)

• Since I killed the OS-config by executing "conary updateall" I had to reinstall the system (severall hours), I had to perform the procedure a second time.
• Samba Transfer rates (50MB/s down, 30MB/s up) -> a little bit slower than EMC

Attention: Data could be lost if you make any error!!!!!!!
