HP StoreOnce VSA Backup System User Guide (TC458-96025)

4 NAS functions
This page provides access to the following StoreOnce NAS functions:
• NAS Configuration (page 30), allows users to configure CIFS and NFS servers and permissions
• Shares (NAS) (page 43), allows users to view and manage NAS shares
NAS Configuration page
Select NAS from the StoreOnce menu item to display the NAS configuration page.
Two tabs allow configuration of a CIFS Server or an NFS Server for the shares.
• The CIFS server provides CIFS interface shares that provide backup targets to Windows servers.
See CIFS Server tab (page 30).
• The NFS server provides NFS interface shares that provide backup targets to UNIX and Linux
servers. See NFS Server tab (page 42).
CIFS Server tab
There are two configuration stages when creating a backup target share that Windows users can
access; both stages are implemented from the Web Management Interface:
• Configure authentication for the StoreOnce Backup system CIFS server. These settings then
apply to the appliance and all NAS CIFS shares created on it.
• Create NAS CIFS shares on the HP StoreOnce Backup system. See Creating a CIFS
share (page 45).
Configuring the CIFS server
1. Select NAS on the StoreOnce GUI.
2. Select the CIFS Server tab. It displays the authentication settings.
NOTE: The CIFS Server tab also shows the SMB Signing field. This feature improves security
at the protocol level and will be available in an upcoming release.
3. Click Edit to modify the authentication settings.
Three authentication options provide different levels of security for CIFS NAS shares: None
(default), User, and AD (Windows Active Directory). Before configuring the settings, determine
the appropriate setting for the particular network and collect any additional information that
may be required to complete the configuration.
NOTE: AD authentication joins the StoreOnce Backup system to an AD domain and is not
unique to NAS shares. It is also required when adding external users or external groups from
an AD domain to the StoreOnce Backup system, see User Management (page 114).
