3.4.0 MxFS for CIFS Administration Guide

Chapter 3: Configure CIFS with Virtual CIFS Servers 21

Create a Virtual CIFS Server

To create a Virtual CIFS Server, from the PolyServe Management Console

select Matrix > Add >Add Virtual CIFS Server. The Add Virtual CIFS

Server window then appears.

Address: Specify either the IP address or the DNS name that will be

associated with this Virtual CIFS Server. The DNS name must already be

configured in the DNS service.

DNS/NetBIOS name: Use this field to specify a DNS/NetBIOS name. The

NetBios name is calculated from the DNS name that you enter here. If

Dynamic DNS is enabled on the DNS server, CIFS will add the DNS name

to the DNS service. If not, you will need to update the DNS server with

the corresponding host record for the Virtual CIFS Server IP address.

Application: An “application” provides a tag to group Virtual CIFS

Servers and Virtual File Shares on the Applications tab. All of the

resources associated with the application can then be treated as a unit.
