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

Creating LUNs and mapping igroups ( 7 Mode & C - mode )

Setting up LUNs and igroups using individual commands -  ( 7 Mode ) Instead of using LUN setup, you can use individual commands to create LUNs, create igroups, and map the LUNs to the appropriate igroups. Before you begin The LUN type must be specified. About this task After the LUN is created, you cannot modify the LUN host operating system type. Note: You can grow a LUN to approximately 10 times its original size. For example, if you create a 10 GB LUN, you can grow that LUN to approximately 100 GB. However, you cannot exceed 16 TB, which is the approximate maximum size of a LUN. Steps Create a space-reserved LUN by entering the following command on the storage system command line: lun create -s size -t ostype   lun_path -s   size indicates the size of the LUN to be created, in bytes by default. -t   ostype indicates the LUN type. The LUN type refers to the operating system type, which determines the geometry used to store da...
