if you don't already have a file system you need to create one first

nas_fs then server_mountpoint and server_mount

creating the share is server_export

just do a man to get examples

using the GUI is easier though

if you already have a fs you also can create shares using the Microsoft mmc

Hi,

first you need to create a file system, then create a CIFS server, then create the CIFS share.

The syntax to cerate a file system using the pool is similar to this :

$ nas_fs -name test_fs -create size=100G pool=clar_r5_performance
id        = 641
name      = test_fs
acl       = 0
in_use    = False
type      = uxfs
worm      = off
volume    = v1076
pool      = clar_r5_performance
member_of = root_avm_fs_group_3
rw_servers=
ro_servers=
rw_vdms   =
ro_vdms   =
auto_ext  = no,virtual_provision=no
deduplication   = unavailable
stor_devs = APM00073700689-000E,APM00073700689-0013,APM00073700689-0008,APM00073700689-000B
disks     = d19,d14,d16,d11

To create the CIFS server and shares, please refer to "Configuring and Managing CIFS on Celerra" manual on Powerlink.

for eg. if created a hidden share named test$ under file system path /test (and cifs server - CIFSone)

enter path \\CIFSone\test$  - you should be able to create sub folder here.  (eg. folder created as "T1")

after creating subfolders; if you want to create share again on that subfolder; then give path /test/T1

Cheers for the quick response,

I've created a share via the GUI which is hidden but can't create a share in a sub folder coming up with an error directory not visable ?

Cheers for the help create a share under the $ share and was able to create the share under the gui.

Thanks again for all the advice
