Hyper-V Hypervisor and SMB Shares
SMB shares are used to store the virtual machine disks and settings files. The cluster name is the “host”
portion of the SMB share name. If not created during the Nutanix cluster setup, add a DNS entry for this
name and point it to the cluster IP address. The container names that you created earlier are used as the
share names. The resulting share name will be \\{cluster-name}\{container-name}. For example:
\\cluster\ds_mgmt
.
By default, only the cluster hosts have access to the SMB shares. To change this, you must modify the
whitelist on the cluster. At a minimum, the IP address of the System Center VMM host must be added. If
you want all management hosts to be able to access, you can specify the network segment as opposed to
single IP addresses.
NOTE: The shares must be used only for storing VDI-related components.
To modify the Whitelist, go to the Nutanix Web Console, click the configuration wheel symbol in the
upper-right corner, and then click Filesystem Whitelists.
