6.0 HP X9000 File Serving Software File System User Guide (TA768-96043, October 2011)

The Add a CIFS Share dialog box allows you to share the entire filesystem or a specific subdirectory.
Enter a name and description for the share, select the appropriate permissions, and select the
servers on which the share will be created. Note the following:
• Do not include any of the following special characters in a share name. If the name contains
any of these special characters, the share might not be set up properly on all nodes in the
cluster.
' & ( [ { $ ` , / \
• Do not include any of the following special characters in the share description. If a description
contains any of these special characters, the description might not propagate correctly to all
nodes in the cluster.
* % + & `
The Access Based Enumeration option allows users to see only the files and folders to which they
have access on the file share. Select this option if appropriate for the share.
To add shares from the CLI, use the following command:
ibrix_cifs -a -f FSNAME –s SHARENAME –p SHAREPATH [-S SETTINGLIST] [-h HOSTLIST]
To see the valid settings for the -S option, use the following command:
ibrix_cifs -L
NOTE: Be sure to use the ibrix_cifs command located in <installdirectory>/bin.
The ibrix_cifs command located in /usr/local/bin/init is used internally by X9000
Software and should not be run directly.
Modifying a CIFS share
To change the configuration of a CIFS share, select the share from either CIFS Shares panel and
click Modify. You can change the share description, the permissions, and whether Access Based
Enumeration is enabled.
