SMB/CIFS and NFS Multiprotocol Configuration Express Guide PDF

  • Deciding whether to use the SMB/CIFS and NFS Multiprotocol Configuration Express Guide
    This guide describes how to quickly set up both SMB/CIFS and NFS access to a new volume on either a new or existing storage virtual machine (SVM).
  • Multiprotocol configuration workflow
    Configuring both SMB/CIFS and NFS involves optionally creating an aggregate; optionally creating a new SVM or configuring an existing one; creating a volume, share, and export; and verifying access from UNIX and Windows administration hosts. You can then open access to SMB/CIFS and NFS clients.
  • Where to find additional information
    After you have successfully tested CIFS and NFS client access, you can perform advanced CIFS and NFS configuration or add SAN access. When protocol access is complete, you should protect the root volume of SVM. There are express guides, comprehensive guides, and technical reports to help you achieve these goals.
