Creating file shares

SMB scale-out file shares are created on CSVs. You can create any number of shares on the CSVs based on your requirements. However, the underlying CSV size dictates the total usable disk space available for the file shares. When creating the file share in the Failover Cluster Manager, click SMB Share-Applications.

As part of the file share configuration, you have an option to select the Encrypt data access check box. Selecting this check box enables you to use SMB Encryption for the specified file share, if you required. Using SMB encryption has a significant performance overhead.
