SMB Share Details
Enter a name, description, and local path for the share. When entering the local path:
You can create multiple shares with the same local path on a single SMB file system. In these cases, you can specify different host-side access controls for different users, but the shares within the file system have access to common content.
A directory must exist before you can create shares on it. If you want the SMB shares within the same file system to access different content, you must first create a directory on the Windows host that is mapped to the file system. Then, you can create corresponding shares using
PowerStore. You can also create and manage SMB shares from the Microsoft Management Console.
PowerStore also displays the SMB Share path, which the host uses to connect to the share.
The share path is the IP address or the name of the NAS server, and the name of the share. Hosts use the share path to mount or map to the share from a network host.
Advanced SMB Share Settings
Enable one or more of the advanced SMB share settings:
Continuous Availability
Protocol Encryption
Access-based Enumeration
Branch Cache Enabled
Offline Availability (default - None)
Umask (default - 022)
Next steps
When you create a share, you can modify the share from
PowerStore or using the Microsoft Management Console.

PowerStore, select the share from the list on the
SMB Share page, and click
Modify.
