HP SureStore CD/DVD-ROM Server
Latest News: Firmware Version 5.30
For firmware versions 5.10, 5.20, 5.30 and later, this Latest News
supplements the other documents distributed with your
HP SureStore CD/DVD-ROM Server (HP J3278B, J4150A,
J4152A). It replaces the Latest News: Firmware Version 5.10
(P/N 5969-3510).
Note
for Upgrades
❏This release 5.30 can be used to upgrade only the releases
starting with 5.06. It cannot be used with releases starting
with version 4.00, such as those used with the HP SureStore
CD-ROM Server/Tower (HP J3276A, J3277A, J3278A). Your
existing firmware version is identified on the Administration
web page for This Server, when the server is highlighted (and
in the config.ini file in the ServerProperties folder in the
System folder).
User-Level Access Control for Windows
Now Managed with Native NT Tools
You can now manage the server’s Windows (SMB) user-level
security in the same way you manage it for your other NT servers.
The HP CD/DVD-ROM Server now emulates a Windows NT 4.0
server. You use more of the native tools for NT servers, such as
User Manager for Domains. You can add, remove, and change
rights on the Properties page for a folder.
User-level security as described here is recommended for networks
based on Windows NT Server. Note that share-level security is the
alternative recommended for Windows workgroup-based networks
without a domain controller (also known as the PDC, DC, or
authentication server).
CAUTION! ❏If you had configured user-level access rights on the server and
you now upgrade to firmware version 5.20 or later, then all
previous access rights configured for SMB will be removed.
HP recommends that before you upgrade the firmware, you
check and record any special user access settings you have:
Click the Administration tab, click [Discs & Drives], click the
icon in the Access Rights column, and click the Windows
Security tab.

Setting Up
User-Level
Access Control
❏As in previous versions, you must have TCP/IP enabled (with
Windows SMB) and must have set up your domain controller for
the TCP/IP DNS parameters.
❏In the User’s Guide, this section replaces the section “User-
Level Access Control”at the end of chapter 4. In the Quick
Installation Guide, this section replaces items 3–6 listed under
“Step 4. Set up Windows (SMB)”.
On a PC on the same network as the HP CD/DVD-ROM Server:
1. Start the web browser, access the web page for the server, and
select the Quick Setup tab. Click the Wizard icon. On the main
wizard page select Windows (SMB) and [Start >].
For Workgroup, specify an NT domain that can authenticate
your users.

Latest News: Firmware Version 5.30 3
2. On the next page, set User-level access control and [Next >].
3. On the next page, set Create a Computer Account in the Domain.
Specify the Administrator user name and password for the
domain controller. Click [Next >].
4. On the Summary page, verify the settings for steps 1–3 above.
Click [Finish].
This restarts the server with the changed configuration and
returns you to the main wizard page. When the Status indicator
remains green and the SCSI indicator is off, the server is ready
for use. This may take from a few seconds to five minutes.

4 Latest News: Firmware Version 5.30
The server’s event log (select the Administration tab and then
the Event Log button) will record the server successfully joining
the domain you specified.
Note ❏An alternative to steps 1–4 above is to use the Detailed View
rather than the Wizard. Select the Windows (SMB) tab. On the
configuration page, you can click the [Change] button to set the
parameters.

Latest News: Firmware Version 5.30 5
On the domain controller (also known as the PDC, DC, or
authentication server), do the following steps. (You can use
a remote workstation with the Remote Services utility.)
5. Log onto the domain controller.
6. Map a drive to the CD server’s Volumes share, as shown below.
7. Explore the mapped drive. Right-click the access point to which
you will assign permissions for a specific user or group (for
example, Volumes or specific disc). Select the Properties page for
that access point.

.
8. Select the Security tab and the [Permissions] button.

Latest News: Firmware Version 5.30 7
9. By default, Users have read access and Administrators have full
access, as seen on this Properties page. Add or remove access for
the desired users and groups; see Microsoft documentation for full
instructions.
Note ❏You must use this Properties page for the mapped drive on the
domain controller, not the Properties page in Server Manager
for Domains.
❏To make changes to the users and groups themselves, use User
Manager for Domains.
Features and
Limitations
•Trusted domains are supported, just as for other Windows NT
servers. Users from trusted domains can now use a server
installed in a different domain.
•Local as well as global groups can be used to set group-
based access to the server. The groups will be synchronized with
the domain controller every fifteen minutes.
Global groups defined on a domain contain users only from
within the authentication domain.
Local groups defined on a domain contain users from within the
domain and may contain other global groups from within the
domain and from trusted domains.
•Remote Administration:
Just as with Windows NT server, once User Manager for
Domains has been set up, access rights can be managed using
the standard Windows Explorer. Access the Properties page of a
folder and add, remove, or change the security on disc or drive.
The Server Manager for Domains is partially supported:
•You can view the server and the user statistics.
•You can delete the server from the domain.
Limitations:
•Descriptions cannot be changed.
•New shares cannot be created or deleted.
•Replication, Alert, and Services are not supported.
•Non-English Names: International (non-ASCII) characters
are now supported for server, workgroup, and domain names.
Unicode is now supported for user and group names.

FTP Access Protocol Support
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is now supported as a network protocol
for access to files on the server. Users can use their familiar FTP
commands to copy files from the server.
Client Access to
Discs
From a PC on the network, two types of FTP access are permitted:
•Administrator username access to the root:
The username root and the server password (by default pass)
will always gain access to the root, containing the Volumes
folder (all discs) and the System folder (configuration files).
•Configured FTP username access to Volumes:
Configure an alternative FTP username and password to
provide access to the Volumes folder (containing all discs).
CAUTION! ❏No security restrictions apply to FTP users. A username and
password (as described above) provide access to all discs and
contents (the Volumes folder). Passwords are the only lock.
Configuring the
Server for FTP
Start the web browser, access the web page for the server, and
select the Quick Setup tab. Click the Detailed View icon. On the
resulting Protocols page, click the FTP tab. The settings are:
•FTP User Name
FTP User Password
Set up a username and password for FTP access by clients to all
the discs, in the Volumes folder. By default, no username is
configured here, so only the administrator username root and
the current server password can be used. See the preceding
“Client Access to Discs”section (page 8) for more information.
•FTP Time Out
You can optionally configure the time in seconds of inactivity
after which the FTP session is closed.
•FTP Max Users
You can optionally configure the maximum number of simulta-
neous FTP sessions.

Pure IP for Novell NetWare
Documentation Notes
❏In the User’s Guide, the “Novell NetWare/IP”section near the
end of chapter 5 is replaced by this section.
❏In the Quick Installation Guide, item 4 under “Step 5. Set up
Novell NetWare (NCP)”should now refer to an additional page
(“Protocols”) that you should skip by clicking [Next > .
The HP CD/DVD-ROM Server now supports NCP transported over
pure IP. In Novell NetWare 5 environments, the server can be
integrated as any other 5.0 server, accessible using IPX,
NetWare/IP, and pure IP simultaneously. The compatibility mode
of NetWare 4.11 is no longer necessary.
Now, both IPX and pure IP are both enabled by default. NetWare/IP
remains as an option available for NetWare 4.11 environments.
Also, you can disable IPX and run NCP over IP only. See the
following section for these configuration options.
Configuring IP
for Novell
NetWare
1. To use the IP protocol in NetWare, see Novell’s documentation
to make sure that the NetWare TCP/IP environment is fully
implemented first.
2. Configure the server for IP, setting the following parameters.
Refer to the User’s Guide or Quick Installation Guide.
•IP address (the following items must correspond to it)
•Subnet Mask
•Default Router (gateway)
•Primary DNS Server
•Secondary DNS Server
3. Configure the server for NetWare.
a. Select your protocol combination:
IPX Pure IP NetWare/IP Instructions
enabled enabled disabled For NetWare 5.0. These default settings
already configured; no other step needed.
disabled enabled disabled For NetWare 5.0. Before disabling IPX,
see Note below. Go to step b.
enabled disabled enabled For NetWare 4.11. Go to step b.
(Before disabling IPX, see Note below.)
disabled
enabled enabled enabled For NetWare 4.11 and 5.0. Go to step b.
(Before disabling IPX, see Note below.

Note Disabling IPX
As long as IPX remains enabled, clients without the speci-
fied pure IP or NetWare/IP support will be routed through a
Novell server with an IPX/IP gateway. You can disable the
IPX protocol on the page described below in step b if all
clients are running the specified IP protocol binding.
b. Use the configuration page for NCP protocols: Start the web
browser, access the web page for the server, and select the
Quick Setup tab. Click the Detailed View icon. On the
resulting Protocols page, click the NetWare (NCP) tab.
Near the bottom of the page, click the checkboxes for the
three protocols—Enable IPX, Enable PureIP, Enable
NetWare/IP—to disable or enable each one as you decided
after referring to the table under step a above (page 9). See
the illustration below.
(If you set Enable NetWare/IP , also specify the DSS Server if
one is used.)
4. After the server is restarted and a delay of about 5 minutes, clients
that support the newly specified protocols will connect directly to
the server peer-to-peer.
If the clients cannot then access the server, do the following:
a. Switch off the power to the server.
b. Wait 20 minutes for the SAP table to be flushed.
c. Switch on power to the server.
d. Wait 5 minutes for the server to be visible. Try access again.
