4 NAS
The NAS menu allows you to monitor and configure NAS shares. The following options are
available.
• Shares (NAS)
• CIFS Server (NAS)
• Configuring users on AD (CIFS shares only)
• NFS Server (NAS)
These pages allow you to monitor and configure NAS shares. If you are a new user, we strongly
recommend that you read the following documents, which are available from the HP web site.
They provide a detailed discussion about replication deployment strategies and terminology and
include worked examples.
• HP StoreOnce Backup System Concepts Guide: This describes the StoreOnce technology and
advises how to plan the workload being placed on the HP StoreOnce Backup System in order
to optimize performance and minimize the impact of deduplication, replication and
housekeeping operations competing for resources.
• D2D Best Practices for VTL, NAS and Replication implementations: This guide describes best
practices and also includes examples using different backup applications.
Shares (NAS)
This tab is used to manage all NAS target devices (referred to as shares) for both CIFS and NFS
servers.
NOTE: It is important to understand that the HP StoreOnce network share is intended to be used
ONLY by backup applications that “back up to disk”. Do not use the NAS target device as a
drag-and-drop general file store. The one exception to this rule is if you are using the NAS share
to seed an appliance for replication.
Creating NAS shares
The process varies slightly depending upon whether you are creating a CIFS or NFS share, see:
• Creating a CIFS share (page 23)
• (page 31)
Editing share details
An existing NAS share may be edited to alter any of its parameters.
1. Select the share on the Shares tab and click Edit.
