Dell PowerStore Configuring Multiprotocol File Sharing

Enable multiprotocol file sharing on an existing NFS-enabled NAS server

About this task

When you configure multiprotocol, all existing file systems are enabled with the native security access policy.

Steps

  1. Select Storage > NAS Servers.
  2. Select the relevant NAS server and then select the Naming Services tab.
  3. Configure one of the following directory services if no UNIX Directory Service (UDS) is already configured for the NAS server or if local files are not configured:
    • NIS
    • LDAP
    • Local files
    • Local files and NIS or LDAP

    You can configure LDAP to use anonymous, simple, and Kerberos authentication. You can also configure LDAP with SSL (LDAP Secure) and can enforce the use of a Certificate Authority certificate for authentication.

  4. Select the User Mapping tab and configure the search order. The directory services that you configured earlier are selectable in the drop-down menu.
  5. Select the User Mapping tab and enable automatic mapping or default account for unmapped users. If you selected to enable default account, specify default Windows and UNIX accounts. You can also use ntxmap (located in the Local files tab) to map Windows and UNIX users.
  6. Select the Sharing Protocols page, and then select SMB Server.
  7. On the SMB Server tab, perform the following:
    • Enable the SMB server.
    • Join the NAS server to the Active Directory (AD) domain.
    • Optionally, Select Advanced to specify the NetBIOS name and organizational unit. The NetBIOS name defaults to the first 15 characters of the SMB server name. The organizational unit defaults to CN=Computers.
