You can create an SMB share on a file system that has been created with an SMB-enabled NAS server.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Select File System | Select a file system that has been enabled for SMB. |
Select a snapshot of the file system | Optionally, select one of the file system snapshots on which to create the share.
Only snapshots are supported for file system protection policies. Replication is not supported for file systems. |
SMB Share Details | Enter a name, and local path for the share. When entering the local path:
PowerStore also created the SMB Share path, which uses the host to connect to the share. The export path is the IP address of the file system, and the name of the share. Hosts use either the file name or the share path to mount or map to the share from a network host. |
Advanced SMB Properties | Enable one or more of the Advanced SMB Settings.
Decide which objects are available when the share is offline. For details see Advanced SMB properties. |
Once you create a share, you can modify the share from PowerStore or using the Microsoft Management Console.
To modify the share from PowerStore, select the share from the list on the SMB Share page, and click Modify.
