Share Settings - HP StorageWorks 8000 - NAS Command Reference Manual

Share Settings

Before network users can access the NAS server, you must give them permission. This is a
security concern. Each platform grants permission differently:
I Windows Windows: Shares are permissions that let you control Microsoft Windows users' access
Windows Windows
to data. You can create shares for any directory within a file volume, including the root.
Once a share is created, users may attach to the share via the Network Neighborhood
in Windows and store and retrieve files and directories. If you are operating under
share-level security, you can limit access to shares by creating read-only or read/write
passwords. Windows-specific commands are covered in SMB settings.
I UNIX: You create an export so that users can mount that volume/directory on their UNIX
UNIX UNIX
systems. However, you must first specify the access mode. If you specify a read-only or
read/write access mode, users can use the mount command to access the volume from
a UNIX workstation. This restriction is only for general access to the system. User-level
restrictions also apply to all of the files and directories on the volume. Unix-specific
commands are covered in NFS settings.
Shares and exports let you control which data clients can access. Host access allows you to
control which client machines are allowed access to the HP NAS 8000, regardless of the user.
