Guidelines for adding share properties:
You can add one or more share properties by using a comma-delimited list.
Any share properties that you have previously specified remain in effect.
Newly added properties are appended to the existing list of share properties.
If you specify a new value for share properties that are already applied to the share, the newly specified value replaces the original value.
You cannot remove share properties by using the vserver cifs share properties add command.
You can use the vserver cifs share properties remove command to remove share properties.
