Share management
There are several ways to set up and manage shares. Methods include using Windows Explorer, a
command line interface, or the HP All-in-One Management Console.
As previously mentioned, the file-sharing security model of the storage system is based on the NTFS
file-level security model. Share security seamlessly integrates with file security. In addition to discussing
share management, this section discusses share security.
Share considerations
Planning the content, size, and distribution of shares on the storage system can improve performance,
manageability, and ease of use.
The content of shares should be carefully chosen to avoid two common pitfalls: either having too many
shares of a very specific nature, or of having very few shares of a generic nature. For example, shares
for general use are easier to set up in the beginning, but can cause problems later. Frequently, a
better approach is to create separate shares with a specific purpose or group of users in mind.
However, creating too many shares also has its drawbacks. For example, if it is sufficient to create
a single share for user home directories, create a “homes” share rather than creating separate shares
for each user.
