To configure or edit the Network Share location or credentials:

1. In the CMC web interface, in the system tree, go to Server Overview and then click Network Share.

The Edit Network Share page is displayed.

NOTE: When you have same folder for chassis, server, and boot identity profile, you may see performance issues if

there is more than 100 profiles.

2. In the Network Share Settings section, configure the following settings as required:

• Protocol

• IP Address or Host Name

• Share Name

• Update folder

• File Name (optional)

NOTE: Entering the File Name is optional only when the default catalog file name is catalog.xml. If the catalog

file name is changed, then the new name must be entered in this field.

• Profile Folder

• Domain Name

• User Name

• Password

• SMB Version

NOTE: The SMB Version option is available only if the Protocol type is CIFS.

NOTE: If you are using CIFS that is registered with a domain, and are accessing the CIFS using the IP with the CIFS

local user credentials, it is mandatory to enter the hostname or host IP in the Domain Name field.

For more information, see the CMC Online Help.
