Using the Create a Shared Folder Wizard
The Create a Shared Folder Wizard walks you through the process of creating a top-level shared folder
(file share) on your HP All-in-One Storage System, including allocating and configuring the required
storage.
NOTE:
You cannot create nested shared folders on your HP All-in-One Storage System using ASM. You may use
other applications, such as Windows Explorer or the Shared Folder MMC snap-in, to create nested shared
folders on your HP All-in-One Storage System.
You can view the nested shares in a top-level shared folder by selecting the top-level shared folder in the
content pane, clicking
Properties in the Action pane, and then clicking the Nested Shares tab.
