Dell PowerStore Configuring Multiprotocol File Sharing

Configuring DFS roots

You can configure Distributed Filesystem Support (DFS) roots on an SMB share in PowerStore. Complete the following tasks before configuring a DFS root on an SMB share:

  1. Configure a NAS server that supports SMB.
  2. On the newly created NAS server, configure a file system on which to create the DFS root.
    NOTE:Do not establish a DFS root on a file system object with an access-checking policy of UNIX, because none of the DFS link components are created with UNIX rights.

There are two ways to create a DFS root on an SMB share:

  • Create a DFS root using dfsutil.exe.
  • Create a stand-alone DFS root using DFS MMC.

For more information about configuring DFS, see the Microsoft documentation.
