4.0.0 HP PolyServe Software for Windows File Serving administration guide (T5392-96047, March 2010)

When you plan your configuration, keep in mind that all Virtual File Shares added
to a particular Virtual CIFS Server are active on the node where the Virtual CIFS
Server is active. Similarly, when the Virtual CIFS Server fails over, those Virtual File
Shares become active on the backup node and will be accessed from there.
You may want to create multiple Virtual CIFS Servers to spread the CIFS activity
across the matrix, taking advantage of the scalability of the PolyServe solution.
Remember, a node can simultaneously be primary for some Virtual CIFS Servers and
a backup for other Virtual CIFS Servers.
DNS requirement for Virtual CIFS Servers
A DNS entry must exist for each Virtual CIFS Server/IP address. The entry must include
an A record and a [PTR] record for forward and reverse lookup. Windows
authentication may fail if these records do not exist. Be sure to create a DNS entry
for each Virtual CIFS Server/IP address that you create.
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.
