Dell EqualLogic FS7600 Installation and Setup Guide
• In-use warning limit—Percentage of the container size that, when consumed by user data or snapshots,
results in an event message.
Unless you specify a different value, the container will use the clusterwide default value for the in-use
warning limit (80%).
• Security mode and permissions—By default, a container supports NTFS. You can modify the container to
change the security mode and permissions. See

Creating a NAS Container

As part of creating a container, you can select the option to create a CIFS share or an NFS export and specify
the share or export name and the directory. However, you can skip creating a share or export at this time, and
create shares and exports after creating the container.
NAS clusters support Unicode for the following names:
• CIFS share name
• CIFS directory name
• NFS export name
• NFS directory name
More specifically, this support includes all the characters in any language's alphabet, Arabic numerals, dots
(also called periods), and the dash or hyphen character (-).
To create a NAS container:
1. Click in the lower-left GUI window and then click
NAS
2. In the Create NAS Container wizard dialog boxes, enter the information you obtained in
Cluster Configuration Information on page
As you work through the wizard, remember that each step has online help available if you need assistance.
3. The final dialog box shows a summary of the container configuration and any share or export you created.
Click to complete the configuration. Click
Finish

Security and Permissions

The NAS cluster supports the following share types:
• NTFS (Microsoft)
• UNIX (POSIX)
• Mixed
All three options allow access to the other types. However, the Mixed type changes the permission based on the
assigned permissions of the last user who accessed the share. Therefore, the Mixed type is not recommended in
environments where share access needs to be controlled.
