Accessing file systems
Clients can use the following standard NAS protocols to access file system data:
• NFS. See “Using NFS” (page 38) or more information.
• CIFS. See “Using CIFS” (page 49) for more information.
• FTP. See “Using FTP” (page 68) for more information.
• HTTP. See “Using HTTP” (page 75) for more information.
You can also use X9000 clients to access file systems. Typically, these clients are installed during
the initial system setup. See the HP StorageWorks X9000 File Serving Software Installation Guide
for more information.
