Deleting a local DFS root

The WebUI enables the deletion of a local stand-alone DFS root on the server only. The DFS Administrative
Tool must be used to manage Domain DFS Roots. Hence, if there is more than one root on the server, the
first root (in alphabetical order, with local stand-alone roots grouped ahead of domain roots) is available
to be deleted. If only domain roots exist on the server, the first domain root is listed, but it cannot be
deleted using the WebUI. The WebUI can only be used to manage local stand-alone DFS roots.
To delete a local DFS root:
1. From the WebUI, click the Shares tab.
2. Click Sharing Protocols.
3. Click DFS, and then click Properties. On the Local DFS Root tab, click Delete Root.
4. Click OK.

Publishing a new share in DFS

After a root has been established either on the local machine or one in the network, shares can be
published to extend the virtual name space. For example, several shares can be created for a DFS root
labeled "Engineering." The shares might be titled "Documentation," "Technical Specs," and "Project Info."
When mapping to \\computername\engineering, all three of these shares would be found under the
HP ProLiant Storage Server administration guide
