3.6.0 MxFS for CIFS Administration Guide (5697-7082, December 2007)

Chapter 4: Configure MxFS for CIFS with Virtual CIFS Servers 27

NOTE: The probe behavior of the Virtual File Share monitor differs from

the behavior of the service monitors provided with Matrix Server.

In Matrix Server, the monitor probes the associated service on all

nodes on which it is configured. The Virtual File Share Monitor

probes only on the node where the Virtual CIFS Server is active.

When you click OK, the Virtual File Share appears on the Servers, Virtual

Hosts, and Applications tabs.

NOTE: If a Virtual File Share is configured to allow sharing of

subdirectories, an asterisk (*) appears at the end of the path for the

Virtual File Share (for example, C:\test8\*). The shared

subdirectories are not displayed on the Servers or Applications

tabs; however, alerts will be displayed if the Virtual File Share

monitor detects a problem with a shared subdirectory.

The following example of the Servers view shows a Virtual File Share

configured on the Virtual CIFS Server qar20vfstest.

The next example shows the Applications tab with two Virtual CIFS

Servers and the associated Virtual Files Shares configured across the four

servers in the matrix. The Virtual CIFS Servers are assigned to the

application Vcifs.
