Understanding how Samba works
Samba is a networking tool that enables a UNIX server to participate in Windows
networks. There are two parts in Samba, one being the server which shares out
files and printers for other PC's to use, and the other being the client utilities,
which allows a UNIX system to access files and printers on other Windows or
Samba servers.
Configuring Clustered NFS and Common Internet File
System on CFS
You can configure CNFS and CIFS on the same cluster. However, any given CFS
file system can be shared using only one of the protocols (NFS or CIFS) at any
given time.
cfsshare manual page
This CIFS feature adds a new functionality to the cfsshare utility in the VRTScavf
package and several scripts that are added into the VCS configuration to manage
parallel NFS and CIFS server resources. The cfsshare command modifies VCS
resources that were created by other utilities such as cfsmntadm.
Note: The cfsshare command takes nfs protocol by default if the -p option is not
used.
See the cfsshare(1M) manual page.
