•
The NFS server provides NFS interface shares that provide backup targets to UNIX and Linux
servers. See
CIFS Server tab
There are two configuration stages when creating a backup target share that Windows users can
access; both stages are implemented from the Web Management Interface:
•
Configure authentication for the StoreOnce Backup system CIFS server. These settings then
apply to the appliance and all NAS CIFS shares created on it.
•
Create NAS CIFS shares on the HP StoreOnce Backup system. See
.
Configuring the CIFS server
1.
Select NAS on the StoreOnce GUI.
2.
Select the CIFS Server tab. It displays the authentication settings.
NOTE:
The CIFS Server tab also shows the SMB Signing field. This feature improves security
at the protocol level and will be available in an upcoming release.
3.
Click Edit to modify the authentication settings.
Three authentication options provide different levels of security for CIFS NAS shares: None
(default), User, and AD (Windows Active Directory). Before configuring the settings, determine
the appropriate setting for the particular network and collect any additional information that
may be required to complete the configuration.
NOTE:
AD authentication joins the StoreOnce Backup system to an AD domain and is not
unique to NAS shares. It is also required when adding external users or external groups from
an AD domain to the StoreOnce Backup system, see
