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

• None (no authentication)
This provides a simple CIFS server configuration that allows for the creation of shares
with no authentication. Any user or computer can mount and access the shares created
on the HP StoreOnce Backup system with this setting.
• User authentication
This provides a method of securing the CIFS shares to be accessed only by specified users
local to the CIFS Server. Once the server is configured to User mode, it is possible to
create new local users by selecting Create User. See Configuring user
authentication (page 32) for more information.
• Active Directory (AD) authentication
This allows the CIFS server to join a Windows Active Directory domain. Access to
individual CIFS shares is managed from the Windows domain controller server which
provides the names of domain users and groups with access. See Configuring CIFS Server
with AD and CIFS Share with AD domain users (page 34) for detailed instructions.
4. Click Update. A popup window will advise that if you update the CIFS Server settings, any
backup or restore jobs in progress for it will fail.
5. After reading the advisory, click Continue (or Cancel).
IMPORTANT: When switching authentication modes, the user must log out and back into
the Windows client before the new authentication settings will work.
6. The system is now configured to create CIFS NAS shares. See Creating a CIFS share (page 45).
Connecting to the NAS target device on Windows
To access the NAS CIFS target device from a Windows server on the network, enter the following
in Windows Explorer:
• <StoreOnce server name>/<share name>
Or <IP address>/<share name>.
It is also possible to connect using \\<Fully Qualified domain name>\<share
name>.
NOTE:
This information is also provided in the StoreOnce GUI for the share: Select a share under
NAS–Shares and on the Share tab look for the Network Path.
• If User authentication was set for the CIFS server, a prompt will require a user name and
password, which will be:
<StoreOnce server name>\<user name> <password> or <StoreOnce IP
address>\<user name> <password>.
The share can also be mounted through the Map Network Drive utility in Windows or through
the Command Prompt utility with the net use command.
net use z:\\192.168.2.1\Share_3 /user:192.168.2.1\User1<password>
