Introduction
HP CIFS provides HP-UX with a distributed file system based on the
Microsoft Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocols. HP CIFS
server interoperates with Windows NT, Windows 200x, Advanced Server,
and other CIFS servers and clients. This chapter provides reference for
three deployment models: Samba Domain Model, Windows Domain
Model, and Unified Domain Model. These three models represent
common network environments and demonstrate HP CIFS Server’s
flexibility.
Each model shows server relationships, but all deployment models
support native file access with any combination of the following clients:
• Windows 2000, XP SP1 sand XP SP2
• Windows Terminal Server (NT4 and 2000)
• HP CIFS Client
• UNIX workstations (via mounting NFS exported CIFS directories)
