Dell PowerStore Configuring SMB

PDF

NAS server networks

Configure the following before configuring NAS servers with SMB protocol:

  1. Configure one or more DNS servers.
  2. If you are joining the NAS server to the Active Directory (AD), configure at least one NTP server on the storage system to synchronize the date and time. It is recommended that you set up a minimum of two NTP servers per domain to avoid a single point of failure.
    NOTE:During AD creation, NTP is configured.
  3. Create a domain account in Active Directory.

Creating network VLANs and IP addresses is optional for NAS servers. If you plan to create a VLAN for NAS servers, the VLAN cannot be shared with the PowerStore T model and the PowerStore Q model management, or storage networks. Also, be sure to work with your network administrator to reserve the network resources and configure the network on the switch. See the PowerStore T and Q Networking Guide for Storage Services for details.
