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.

l CIFS/SMB - Select the CIFS/SMB option to use the share on a

network.

create an Oracle RMAN share.
