8.

In the NFS Options pane, define which NFS options to use for the client, by selecting from the NFS Options choices:

rw (allows read-write access), ro (allows read-only access), or insecure (allows for replies being made to requests

before the changes in the request are committed to disk).

NOTE: The DR Series system always commits writes to NVRAM first before committing any changes to disk.

9.

In the Map root to pane, select the user level you want mapped to this container from one of the following options

from the drop-down list and skip to step 12.

nobody represents a user on the system without root access permissions

root represents a remote user with root access to read, write, and access files on the system

administrator represents the system administrator

NOTE: The DR Series system administrator that manages the system has a different set of privileges than
does the CIFS administrator user. Only the DR Series system administrator can change the password for the
CIFS administrator user. To change the password that allows access for the CIFS administrator user, use the
authenticate --set --user administrator commands. For more information, see the

Dell DR Series System

Command Line Reference Guide

.

10. To select a CIFS connection type, click Enable CIFS in the CIFS pane.

The Client Access pane is displayed, which allows you to configure this container to use CIFS to backup Microsoft
(MS) Windows clients.

11. In the Client Access pane, define a specific CIFS client (or all clients) that can access the CIFS container or

manage clients who can access this container:

To allow open access for all clients to the CIFS container you created, select Open Access (all clients have

access). When you select this setting, this action removes the Add clients (IP or FQDN Hostname) and Clients

text boxes. Select this check box

only

if you want to enable access for all clients to this CIFS container.

Type the IP address (or its FQDN hostname) in the Add clients (IP or FQDN Hostname) text box, and click Add.

The “added” client appears in the Clients list box.

To delete an existing client from the Clients list box, click to select the IP address (or FQDN hostname) of the

client you want to delete, and click Remove. The “deleted” client disappears from the list box.

12. Click Create a New Container.

The Containers page is displayed, along with a Successfully Added dialog. The list of containers in the Containers
summary table is now updated with your new container.
