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.
Note:Data deduplication is enabled by default. You cannot
enable or disable data deduplication after the share is added. If
data duplication is disabled, then data compression is also
disabled.
Note:Deduplication of Application Specific shares is enabled
by default.
3. (Optional) Under ReplicationSettings, specify replication settings.
For more information about configuring replication for a share, or to set up replication for the share at a
later time, see Replication on page 130.
4. Click Apply.
AdditionalInformation
When you create a CIFS/SMB share, the initial permissions are the same as the default permissions for
a Windows 2003 share with the addition of an ACE (Access Control Entry) that permits full access to the
share for all authenticated users. Administrators can choose to remove this full access ACE, set up
custom permissions, or leave the ACL (Access Control List) as it is if the server is set up in a fully trusted
environment.
Editing a NAS Share
Edit a NAS share to modify the settings for the share, for example, to change the description of the share or
to select different options.
To edit a NAS share:
1. Select the share and click Edit.
The EditNASShare&ReplicationSettings page displays (see Figure 134 on the next page).
