Follow the instructions for Creating volume, once the file system is selected. Once the volume is created
then you will have the foundation in place to be able to establish your directory structures and establish file
sharing.
File Shares – SMB and NFS: There are several file sharing protocols available that can be used on the HPE
StoreEasy 1X60 systems. These file sharing protocols include Network File Systems (NFS), File Transfer
Protocol (FTP), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), and Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB). Of these
protocols the two more popular protocols to be deployed are: SMB and NFS. File shares can be established
at the volume level or on specific directory folders. Different file sharing protocols can be enabled using
specific network names for access across a network to a variety of clients. Permissions can then be granted
to those shares based on users or groups of users in each of the file sharing protocols.
After determined which file shares need to be established, then follow instructions for Creating file shares.
