EMC Unity - Create SMB Share
- Summary
- Create an SMB/CIFS Share object on an EMC Unity array.
- Description
-
This task creates an SMB/CIFS Share on an EMC Unity storage array.
This task creates two types of shares:
- An SMB Share created on a file system.
- An SMB Share created on a snapshot.
- EMC Unity Account: podName@AccountName. For example: Vblock@Unity_Hybrid
- EMC Unity File System: podName@accountName@spName@id@nasServerName@nasServerID@storagePoolName@storagePoolId@fileSystemName@fileSystemID. For example: Default Pod@EmcUnity@SP A@spa@TestNAS@nas_4@pool_7@Pool0@TestFS@fs_14
- Use Snapshot: Check box-To create SMB Share on Snapshot
- EMC Unity File System Snapshot: Select the file system to create SMB share on
- Name: Valid Storage Pool Name - The following special characters are not allowed: " % & ' * + . / \ : ; < = > ? ^ @ | ,
- Description: Valid Description
- Path: Valid Path - Path destination should exist, if path is not given share is created on root directory
- Access-based Enumeration: Check box-Filter directory entries according to client access permission
- Branch Cache Enabled: Check box-Supports hash generation for branch cache retrieval of data
- Protocol Encryption: Check box-Encrypt data as it is transmitted between the array and the host
- Continuous Availability: Check box-Gives continuous access to the share following an NAS Server failover
- Offline Availability: Check box-Manage the offline cashing of the files by the client
- UMASK: Valid UMASK. For example: 022 Specifies the default UNIX UMASK for new files created on the share
- Inputs
