HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage System administration guide V1.0.2 (AN540-96018, February 2010)

The following example shows the smb.conf.grp1 file. This virtual server is accessed via virtual host
99.12.10.205. The virtual server is named grp1 and three shares are exported. The data1 share
exports the /mnt/exds_1_1 filesystem. The user1 and user2 shares are subdirectories of the /
mnt/exds_1_2 filesystem.
The file includes the following parameters:
• interfaces. Required for Samba high availability. Specify the actual network IP address of the
Virtual Samba server that is to be used to access this Samba share. The network address must in-
clude the IP address and the netmask. The netmask can be specified in either the full dot format
or CIDR format, as in the sample file. In CIDR format, /24 is class C, /16 is class B, and /8 is
class A.
• socket address. Required for Samba high availability. Specify the network IP address of the actual
Virtual Samba server that is to be used to access this Samba share.
• Security. Optional. Very insecure (unchallenged authentication) for demonstration purposes.
Change as necessary for your environment.
• null passwords. Optional. Very insecure (unchallenged authentication) for demonstration purposes.
Change as necessary for your environment.
• comment. Used to more easily identify the share.
• path. Required for Samba high availability. Specify the actual share mount point for the PSFS
filesystem containing the data to be shared. This can be the mountpoint of a filesystem or a sub-
directory of the filesystem.
NOTE:
The same filesystem cannot appear in the path for two different smb.conf.<virtual-server>
files (that is, a specific filesystem can only be associated with one virtual Samba server).
• guest ok. Optional.
• writeable. Several other parameters can be used in the smb.conf.<virtual-server> file to
define characteristics about the share. For information about the available parameters, see your
Samba documentation.
