Iomega StorCenter Network Storage Release Notes version 3.1.12

New features and changes

Iomega StorCenter version 3.1.12 contains the following new features:

Active Directory Domain Trust

When you enable Active Directory trusted domains on your Iomega StorCenter

device, you can import users and groups from other trusted domains to your

device. This will allow you to manage the various users and groups of your

disparate domains from one device. Those users and groups from other domains

then have access to features on your device, including accessing folders and

documents in Shares, and joining any Personal Cloud of which the device is a

member.

Application Manager

Use the Application Manager to install your own custom applications or other

third-party applications to increase the feature ability of your Iomega StorCenter

device. Custom applications must be created with the Iomega StorCenter Software

Development Kit. The Application Manager lets you install, start, and stop

applications.

Support for Mac operating system version 10.7 (Lion)

The Iomega StorCenter now supports Mac operating system version 10.7, also

known as Lion.

Environment and system requirements

Video surveillance environment and system requirements

The following are the LifeLine Native Video surveillance requirements:

Support statements

◆ The LifeLine Native Video surveillance interface supports only UPnP

(universal plug and play) network cameras by AXIS and Panasonic. Cameras

from other manufacturers can record to a Share. Video surveillance supports

only wired cameras at this time.

◆ The recording segment is 155 minutes. A new video file is created for each

recording segment.

◆ The camera settings should not be changed during the video streaming

process.

◆ Video surveillance supports a different number of simultaneous cameras,

based on the Iomega StorCenter model. The model and their corresponding

number of cameras is shown in Table 2.

Recommended MPEG-4 player 3731

The Iomega StorCenter video surveillance movies are encoded as MPEG-4, a

format that is incompatible with supplied video players on Windows, Mac, and

Linux. To view the output videos from the Video Surveillance feature, you must

install an MPEG-4 compatible player. A recommended version is the VLC player.

VLC players are free and available from a variety of sources on the Internet. VLC is

not necessary to view the live video from a camera.

Iomega StorCenter Network Storage Release Notes version 3.1.12

Known issues and limitations

Configuration issues

When a firewall is configured, cannot discover Iomega StorCenter device 1814 1448

Description: The Iomega StorCenter device cannot be discovered using the Iomega

StorCenter Manager, possibly due to a firewall configuration.

Affected SW Releases: 2.6, 3.1.10, 3.1.12

Workaround: When you fail to find a Iomega StorCenter device on the network

using the Iomega StorCenter Manager, it is recommended that you check whether

the Iomega StorCenter Manager software is being blocked by an existing firewall.

If you have a firewall and during the Iomega StorCenter device setup the firewall

opens a dialog presenting access options, you must choose Allow access. As a

workaround, if the firewall can be configured to allow access to specific

applications or ports, it is recommended to configure a rule that allows access on

local UDP port 2152 for the whole application.

Directory path depth and filename size limitations 4106

Description: The absolute path to a directory within a folder cannot be greater than

1024 bytes, and the filename component cannot be greater than 256 bytes.

Affected SW Releases: 2.6, 3.0, 3.1.10, 3.1.12

Workaround: —

Cannot access a secure folder through DFS 9061

Description: When Windows DFS is enabled, a user may browse through the

directory tree, see a folder, but not be able to access that folder due to insufficient

permissions.

Affected SW Releases: 2.6, 2.6.13, 3.0, 3.1.10, 3.1.12

Workaround: Ensure appropriate users are granted permission on all secured

folders prior to securing them and making them apart of the DFS Workgroup.

Domain status is incorrect on device after powering off trusted domain server 18476

Description: After enabling a trusted domain, joining it to the local domain, adding

users to the domain, then turning the Iomega StorCenter device off and on, users

or domain status may be reported incorrectly.

Affected SW Releases: 3.1.10, 3.1.12

Workaround: —

After configuring Amazon S3 storage, incorrect error message may appear 19548

Description: After enabling Amazon S3 storage, the user may receive a false error

message if they have reached the maximum number of Amazon storage buckets.

The message reads, "The Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d is not yet configured with

your Amazon S3 account information. The 'Amazon S3' application is disabled."

iSCSI mapping does not work from Iomega Storage Manager when not logged in as administrator

8457

Description: When performing iSCSI drive mapping in the Iomega Storage

Manager, you must login as PC administrator to map an iSCSI drive, while CIFS

mapping does not require administrative privileges. However, when logged in as

administrator, CIFS mapping does not work. This affects Windows Vista and

Windows 7.

Affected SW Releases: 2.6, 3.0, 3.1.10, 3.1.12

Workaround: Do not log in as administrator to map the drive. Manually connect the

iSCSI drive using the Microsoft Initiator software.

User Interface: Certificate issues

Device Setup: Certificate Error on Internet Explorer 7 1616

Description: If the Iomega StorCenter Manager is accessed directly through an

Internet Explorer 7 browser using IP rather than through the Iomega StorCenter

Manager, a warning about a certification error will display.

Affected SW Releases: 2.6, 3.0, 3.1.10, 3.1.12

Workaround: None; this error can safely be ignored as it is due to the HTTPS

security access required by the Iomega StorCenter.

Firefox 3.0 displays a confusing error message when accessing the Iomega StorCenter Manager 2840

Description: When using Firefox 3.0 to access the Iomega StorCenter device, Firefox

will display the message, “Secure connection failed. The certificate is not trusted

because it is self-signed.”

Affected SW Releases: 2.6, 2.6.13, 3.0, 3.1.10, 3.1.12

Workaround: Use the following steps to add an exception for our self-signed
