CIFS shares creation in 7 - Mode
CIFS shares creation
Introduction- We can access NetApp volume using CIFS/SMB just like windows share. It is very useful to use NetApp storage in mixed environment of Linux/Windows or on Windows based Products.Step 1) Creating NetApp volume or use Qtree First we need to create “/vol/mycifs_share” netapp volume or you can use qtree as well.
Step 2) Change Secuirty style to NTFS
Netapp> qtree security /vol/mycifs_share ntfs Mon Nov 02 06:19:08 EDT [Netapp: wafl.quota.sec.change:notice]: security style for /vol/mycifs_share/ changed from unix to ntfs
Step 3) Creating CIFS/Windows Share
I assume that NetApp filer has been joined to AD (Active Directory, LDAP) and CIFS licensed is installed/configured and cifs service is running on NetApp. Now we will create CIFS share and give permissions to User/Groups…
Netapp> cifs shares -add MyShare /vol/mycifs_share -comment “My Test Windows CIFS Share”The share name ‘MyShare’ will not be accessible by some MS-DOS workstations
Step 4) Give CIFS Share Access
Netapp> cifs access MyShare “MYDOMAIN\USER_OR_GROUP” “Full Control" 1 share(s) have been successfully modified
NOTE: We can give Full permission ie “Full Control”, Read permission ie “Read”
Step 5) List CIFS
Netapp> cifs shares Name Mount Point Description —- ———– ———– MyShare /vol/mycifs_share My Test Windows CIFS Share
Step 6) Access CIFS/Share on Windows or Linux
\192.168.10.50\MyShare
