Name Enter the name of the NAS share.
Additional Information
l NAS share names are not case-sensitive. For example, if you
create a share named nas1, you cannot create another share
named NAS1 because the system considers the names to be
the same.
l Virtual Machine (VM) NAS shares must be named "VM"
(upper case).
Description (Optional) Enter a brief description of the share.
Protocol Select the export protocol for the share:
l CIFS/SMB - Select the CIFS/SMB option to use the share on a
Windows network.
l NFS - Select the NFS option to use the share on a UNIX or Linux
network.
l Application Specific - Select the Application Specific option to
create an Oracle RMAN share.
Hide from network browsing (CIFS/SMB shares only) Select the check box to hide the share from
network browsing. If selected, you cannot see the share when
browsing the network.
Enable deduplication (CIFS/SMB/NFS shares only) Select the check box to enable data
deduplication. Quantum recommends that you enable data
deduplication to optimize disk usage.
Additional Information

or disable data deduplication after the share is added.
l Deduplication of Application Specific shares is enabled by
default.
l VM NAS shares must have deduplication disabled.
