In previous lab, i have done about the “create aggregate and volumes”. Here i am posting about the NFS and CIFS on a storage system. Whatever we have created in previous module (aggregate and volumes) here we will use those in this module 4.
NFS is Network File System and CIFS is Common Internet File System. In NFS we are sharing storage system with in the network between Unix Server and Storage System. In CIFS, we are going to share the folders and network drives between computers.
To access NFS and CIFS in storage system, first we need to add licence for that file system in the simulator. After adding the licence key we can access the NFS & CIFS.
here is the window to add the licenses
go to licenses click add
click add
add the licenses in the portal box as shown below
adding the license
once the license is added successfully it will be displayed as below shown
these are the volumes and aggregates that have been configured as shown below
it is all about creating the NASvol and the Volvolumes
these are the exports now i am exporting the volumes as per their paths
these can be configured through the command line putty also CLI
as shown in below these are the various commands i have given for configuring and making the various shared folders and the associated paths
in order for the configuration of the CIFS , NFS and various NAS volumes
In NFS,we are going to send out the capacity records with in the area and on the off chance that we utilize distinctive sort of servers like windows and unix servers, diverse customers (windows, linux). Here i have sent out made volume utilizing framework chief and Command Line Interface, after that i have mounted that volume into Linux server by made some of indexes and volumes at Linux System.
After that I added CIFS permit to the framework chief, CIFS is Common Internet File System, by utilizing this we can impart documents and organizer to in our system. Here i have designed these envelope sharing between windows customer and capacity framework.
here are the screen shots for configuring the CIFS
i have given my domain name deepak.local
along with the administrator and password details
this is the finishing up of cifs i configured it
once the cifs has completed well it can be gone through over here the configurations
i have created a user and added to the domain by the name ‘firstdeepak’
here i am creating the volume screenshot
this is the configuration of the cifs_tree1
this is the shared folder configuration
Here i have made qtrees and mapped with system drive from windows customer. Additionally i offered access to those common organizers (qtrees) for clients which i made in area. We can give client access consents to those mutual envelopes or qtrees from CLI and GUI too.
now iam going to connect to the other computer in order share the shared folders
i have given my computer name IP address and browsed
i checked the names
it dispalyed my computer name DEEPAK i connected successfully
here are the various commands i have given by the putty for configuring the arious shared folders too
conclusion:
NFS is the “Network File System” for Unix and Linux operating systems. It allows files to be shared transparently between servers, desktops, laptops etc. It is a client/server application that allows a user to view, store and update files on a remote computer as though they were on their own computer. Using NFS, the user or a system administrator can mount all or a portion of a file system.
CIFS is the “Common Internet File System” used by Windows operating systems for file sharing. CIFS uses the client/server programming model. A client program makes a request of a server program (usually in another computer) for access to a file or to pass a message to a program that runs in the server computer. The server takes the requested action and returns a response. CIFS is a public or open variation of the TServer Message Block Protocol (SMB) developed and used by Microsoft, and it uses the CP/IP protocol.
NFS and CIFS are the primary file systems used in NAS. Comparing CIFS vs. NFS, CIFS tends to be a bit more “chatty” in its communications. This may require file protocol optimization over a wide area network.
