File-Sharing Elements
Single-server NAS b3000 v2 implementations support several file-sharing
protocols, including CIFS, NFS, FTP, HTTP, NCP, and AppleTalk. On each
persistent storage manager element, folder or logical storage element, different
file-sharing protocols can be enabled using specific network names for access
across a network to a variety of clients.
Note: Persistent storage elements can only be viewed from Windows clients and are
only supported under Windows file shares (CIFS).
Permissions can then be granted to those shares based on users or groups of users
in each of the file-sharing protocols. Refer to the administration guide for more
details on file system elements.
Clustered Server Elements
The NAS b3000 v2 supports several file-sharing protocols, including CIFS, NFS,
FTP, HTTP, NCP, and AppleTalk. Only CIFS, NFS, and FTP are cluster aware
protocols. NCP, HTTP, and AppleTalk can be installed on each node but the
protocols can not be setup through cluster administrator nor will they failover
during a node failure. Using Cluster Administrator, on each persistent storage
management element, folder or logical storage element, different file-sharing
protocols can be enabled by creating specific cluster resources.
Note: Persistent storage elements can only be viewed from Windows clients and are
only supported under file-share resources (CIFS).
Network names and IP address resources for the clustered file-share resource may
also be established for access across a network to a variety of clients. Permissions
can then be granted to those shares based on users or groups of users in each of the
file-sharing protocols. Refer to the cluster section of the administration guide for
more details on file-share elements.
