Standard shares are shares that do not end in a $ character. Standard shares are listed whenever
a CIFS client browses for available shares on a CIFS server.
The storage server supports both administrative and standard CIFS shares. To create an administrative
share, end the share name with the $ character when setting up the share. Do not type a $ character
at the end of the share name when creating a standard share.
Managing shares
Shares can be managed using the HP Storage Server Management Console. Tasks include:
•
Creating a new share
•
Deleting a share
•
Modifying share properties
•
Publishing in DFS
NOTE:
These functions can operate in a cluster on select servers, but should only be used for non-cluster-aware
shares. Use Cluster Administrator to manage shares for a cluster. The page will display cluster share
resources.
CAUTION:
Before deleting a share, warn all users to exit that share and confirm that no one is using that share.
File Server Resource Manager
