Share and Storage Management
The share and storage management snap-in allows you to easily set up and
manage shared folders and storage. Share and storage management
provides the following features:
•
PowerVault NX1950 Management Console-based management of
shared folders and storage
•
Provision Storage wizard for creating and configuring storage, creating
a logical unit number (LUN), and formatting a volume
•
Provision a Shared Folder wizard for creating and configuring shared
folders that can be accessed either using the server message block (SMB)
or NFS protocol
These features enable you to complete most of the administrative tasks
required to create and manage shared folders and volumes without using
the shared folder management, storage manager for SANs, or disk
management snap-ins. This also includes configuring quotas to restrict
the quantity of data, configuring file screening to prevent certain file types
or only allowing certain file types defined by the administrator, and
enabling indexing.
