Create CIFS Share on NS700G

Question

I`m just new to Celerra.
Our NFS-Share is running now.

But I`m test to get a CIFS-share working without ADS (type=standalone).
I`ve created filesystem, CIFS-server and export the cifs. But where are the acl settings?
Just the administrator account couldn`t get access.

Can anybody tell me how to get it working?

you're most probably missing the point that you first need to change the password on a standalone CIFS server before you can use it.

Just use a Windows PC, press Ctrl-Alt-Del then change password and enter die CIFS servers name and the initial password you've set during creation of the CIFS server

Then you can create a CIFS share either from the Celerra or through the Windows mmc tools, connect to that share (or the C$ share) and set ACLs from Windows Explorer.

BTW think about it if you dont want a VDM for your CIFS server - it makes moving stuff, replication and access restriction easier. creating one now before you create the CIFS server is a lot easier than having to move the CIFS server to the VDM later.

It`s working now.

great. just keep in mind that a standalone CIFS server doesnt support user-mapping for multi-protocol - meaning that you can do multi-protocol but the local CIFS users get UIDs automatically assigned on creation that you cant change.
