HP StoreOnce Backup - Manual (Page 22)

2. Make the required changes and click Update. When the changes are applied they will take
effect immediately. If the NAS server (service) needs to restart, there will be a warning provided
to the user, which they can accept to allow all shares to temporarily go offline. Note that you
cannot change the share name once it has been created.
If a share is converted from Read/Write to Read Only, any open items will be force closed
which may result in inconsistencies if they are being written to by a backup application. The
user will be warned that this could occur before the change is made.
Configuring NAS targets for CIFS
HP StoreOnce Backup Systems provide a CIFS interface in order to provide shares that are
accessible to Windows servers.
There are two configuration stages when creating a file 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 all CIFS shares.
•
Create NAS CIFS shares on the HP StoreOnce Backup System
Configuring the CIFS server
1. Log on to the Web Management Interface for the appliance.
2. Select NAS.
3. Select the CIFS Server tab. The CIFS server name is the same as the name of the HP StoreOnce
Backup System device.
4. Click Edit to modify the authentication settings.
There are three authentication options that provide different levels of security for CIFS NAS
shares. Before configuring the settings, make sure you know which is appropriate for your
network and any extra information that may be needed during configuration. None (default),
User, and Windows Active Directory. See the next section for examples and more information
about CIFS authentication.
5. Make changes, as required and click Update. Refer to the next section for worked examples
for the various Authentication types.
NOTE: When switching authentication modes the user must log out and back into the
Windows client before the new authentication settings will work.
Table 6 Authentication settings
Setting authentication to None provides a simple CIFS server configuration that allows for the creation
of shares with no protection. All users can access the shares created on the HP StoreOnce Backup
System with this authentication setting. No authentication
Setting authentication to user provides a method of securing the CIFS shares so that they can be
accessed only by specified “local” users. Once the server has been set to User mode, it is possible User
authentication
to create new local users by selecting Create User and providing a username and password. These
users can then be individually allowed to access any of the shares that are created.
