Dell PowerStore Configuring SMB

SMB support

PowerStore T model and PowerStore Q model support SMB 1 through SMB 3.1.1. When SMB support is enabled on the NAS server, you can create SMB-enabled file systems. The NAS server with SMB support can either be stand-alone, or Active Directory domain-joined. Domain-joined NAS servers are placed in the OU=Computers, OU=EMC NAS Servers organizational unit by default.

NOTE:Client access using the SMB1 protocol is disabled by default, due to potential security vulnerabilities. If client access using SMB1 is required, you can enable it by modifying the cifs.smb1.disabled parameter. It is recommended to use SMB2 at a minimum for enhanced security and increased efficiency.

SMB file systems and shares have the following advanced protocol options:

NOTE:These options, except for Oplocks Enabled, are disabled by default.
