PowerScale OneFS 9.8.0.0 Web Administration Guide

Mixed data-access protocol environments

With the OneFS operating system, you can access data with multiple file-sharing and transfer protocols. As a result, Microsoft Windows, UNIX, Linux, and macOS X clients can share the same directories and files.

NOTE:On new installations of OneFS 9.0.0.0 and later, all protocols are disabled by default. To enable the protocols that you plan to use, run the following CLI command:
isi services <protocol> enable
Where <protocol> is one of smb, nfs, hdfs, ftp, http, https, or s3.

OneFS supports the following protocols:

SMB
The Server Message Block (SMB) protocol enables Windows users to access the cluster. OneFS works with SMB 1, SMB 2, and SMB 2.1, and SMB 3.0 for Multichannel only. With SMB 2.1,OneFS supports client opportunity locks (Oplocks) and large (1 MB) MTU sizes.
NFS
The Network File System (NFS) protocol enables UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X systems to remotely mount any subdirectory, including subdirectories created by Windows users. OneFS works with NFS versions 3 and 4.
HDFS
The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) protocol enables a cluster to work with Apache Hadoop, a framework for data-intensive distributed applications. OneFS supports Ranger ACL. OneFS 9.3.0.0 and later adds support for HDFS ACL. HDFS integration requires that you activate a separate license.
FTP
FTP allows systems with an FTP client to connect to the cluster and exchange files.
HTTP and HTTPS
HTTP and its secure variant, HTTPS, give systems browser-based access to resources. OneFS includes limited support for WebDAV.
S3
The S3-on-OneFS technology enables using the Amazon Web Services Simple Storage Service (AWS S3) protocol with OneFS. S3 support on OneFS enables storing data in the form of objects on top of the OneFS file system storage.
