- Using CEPA with PowerStore
Before you can provision file storage on the PowerStore cluster, a NAS server must be running on the system. A NAS server is a file server that supports the SMB protocol, NFS protocol, or both to share data with host clients. It also catalogs, organizes, and optimizes read and write operations to the associated file systems.
This document describes how to configure a NAS server with SMB protocol, on which file systems with SMB shares can be created.
