drive. Using the PowerVault 735N Reinstallation CD will destroy all data on

Adding Shares
To create a share, you must supply a share name that is unique across all shares in
the share path. The share path is the full path of the directory on the system that is
shared. Some protocols also support the inclusion of a comment or brief description
of the share. You must enable at least one of the available protocols. There are four
protocols to choose from:
•
Common Internet File System (CIFS)
•
NFS
•
FTP
•
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
