Dell EMC UNITY, How can we share nfs and cifs shares on the same file system
without defining NIS or LDAP?
The customer currently has VNX 7500 unified and can create shares and exports against a file system without defining an LDAP or NIS server. Customer does not use LDAP or NIS. Unity requires creation of a multi-protocol server with access to a windows and linux directory service (AD, LDAP/NIS). Without a MP server, there doesn't seem to be a way to present the FS to both Win and Linux. Customer is threatening to ship it back. Is there a way to share nfs and cifs shares on the same file system without defining NIS or LDAP?

I would suggest to review the documentation - there are significant changes with Unity in terms of multi-protocol compared to VNX
For example:
- changed access policies
- no usermapper active in multi-protocol
- new default accounts
the format and workings of local files / ntxmap / LDAP / NIS is pretty much the same

Setup: multiprotocol fs
ip: 10.8.124.28 port: spa ethernet port 3
dns: 10.8.124.6
ldap: 10.8.124.6
authentication: kerberos
authenticate using smb server account
Which user name this referring to?
Error:
\\10.8.124.28 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.
The user name could not be found.

check the mapping diagnostics report (secmap) to check if SMB users are getting mapped
see the Unity Service commands manual with svc_cifssupport for addtl. troubleshooting

Dear Rainer,
If yo dont mind can you please give me the steps to achieve it?
I created the NAS server with Multiprotocol enabled from command line, however once after creation, within the GUI i am seeing the warning message saying SMB server need to created, while creating SMB server it asks for domain credentials.. please help me with the steps to do it through local password file.
