NetApp AltaVault Cloud Integrated Storage Administration Guide 39
Beta Draft
Configuring SMB Configuring storage settings
To add an SMB share
1. The SMB page does not appear until the Storage Optimization Service is started. If needed, choose Maintenance
> Service and click Start to initialize the service.
2. Optionally, under Pinned Data Information, slide the indicator along the bar to select the bytes allowed for share
pinning. Share pinning instructs the share to always retain data on AltaVault locally without fetching it from the
cloud.
3. To add an SMB share, complete the configuration as described in this table.
The share you configured appears in the list of shares on the page along with the option to add a local user.
Control Description
Add SMB Share Displays the controls to add a new SMB share.
Share Name Specify the name of the share.
Pin Share Optionally, enable data pinning on the share. Select Yes or No from the drop-down list
to specify whether the SMB share should be pinned. Share pinning enables the share to
always contain data that is available to the AltaVault locally without fetching it from the
cloud. You can pin SMB shares only at the time of share creation. Existing unpinned
shares cannot be pinned.
Once a share is pinned, unpinning of that share can be performed via CLI and requires
optimization service to be offline. Unpinning a share can be a time-consuming
operation. Unpinning a share does not result in erasing the previously pinned data. After
unpinning, the previously pinned data becomes available for eviction.
You cannot remove a pinned share if it contains data.
Early Eviction Specify whether or not data from this share should be assigned a higher priority for
eviction.
If you select yes, data written to this share is eligible for eviction earlier than other data.
Disable Dedupe Specify whether or not data written to this share should be checked for duplication. If
you select yes, then the AltaVault will not perform duplication checks on data written to
the share.
Disable Compression Specify whether or not data written to this share should be compressed.
Select yes if your data set is already in a compressed format and will not benefit from
further compression attempts.
Local Path Specify the internal pathname on the AltaVault to which this SMB share writes data.
Note: AltaVault does not support having two shares with the same local path. Do not
create two shares with the same local path. Additionally, nesting shares (local path of a
share is part of the local path of another share) is not recommended.
Comment Enter a comment about the share. You can use alphanumeric characters, underscores,
hyphens, and spaces.
Read Only Configure the share to be a read-only.
Allow Everyone Access Enable global access to the SMB share.
Clear this check box if you want to enable individual authentication.
Add Share Adds the SMB share to the AltaVault.
Remove Selected Deletes the selected SMB share.
