SMB share details
Enter a name, 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 PowerFlex Manager. You can also create and manage SMB shares from the Microsoft Management Console.
PowerFlex Manager also created the SMB Share path, which uses the host to connect to the share.
The export path is the IP address of the file system, and the name of the share. Hosts use either the file name or the share path to mount or map to the share from a network host.
Advanced SMB properties

Once you create a share, you can modify the share from PowerFlex Manager or using the Microsoft Management Console.
To modify the share from PowerFlex Manager, select the share from the list on the
SMB Share page, and click
Modify.
