The NFS connector in DryvIQ has specific permission-related requirements beyond that of the connector Identity. Additional configuration may be needed to allow DryvIQ to use of the NFS Connector. 

Prepare

...

When a DryvIQ Job runs, it is the DryvIQ Manager Service that is connecting to and accessing the content on the NFS platform.  Therefore, the DryvIQ Manager Service needs to be running as a domain account that has the proper permissions to access the content that will be managed by DryvIQ.  

Review the DryvIQ Manager/Server Installation documentation to learn about Configuring DryvIQ and pay particular attention to the Configure Windows Service section.

Info

For proper job function, the account requires Read, Write, Update and Delete privileges.

SQL Server (Optional)

You can optionally create the database before running the installer:

1. Log into SQL Server Management Studio.

2. Create a new database.

  • Set the name appropriately, ie. DryvIQV4.

  • Do not select an owner.

  • Set the recovery mode to simple.

  • Add the Windows Service Account User to the database.

    • Security > Logins > {Windows Service Account User} > properties > Server Roles > dbcreator or sysadmin

    • Security > Logins > {Windows Service Account User} > properties > User Mapping > DryvIQV4 > db_owner

Please see the following documentation: DryvIQ Platform | Infrastructure & Hardware Considerations

Prepare Source Environment  

  • Create a Windows domain user account that will be used for the migration and grant main admin privileges to that user on the file server.

  • Ensure the account used you plan to use to create the NFS Connector has all necessary permissions to edit, copy, delete, and create files and folders. For proper job function, the account requires Read, Write, Update and Delete privileges.

  • If using IP, ensure that the IP is static and will not change.
