the role.
Click the name of the role in the Roles Summary section to open the home

Share and Storage Management
Share and Storage Management provides a centralized location to manage
folders and volumes that are shared on the network:
To create Server Message Block (SMB) shares, see "Creating Server Message
Block Shares" on page 27.
To create the NFS shares, see "Creating the NFS Share" on page 40.
NOTE: Volume operations are only available when Virtual Disk Service (VDS)
hardware providers are installed on the solution. VDS is not supported on this NAS
system.
File Server Resource Manager
FSRM is a suite of tools for Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 that allows
administrators to understand, control, and manage the quantity and type of
data that is stored on their system. By using FSRM, administrators can place
quotas on folders and volumes, actively screen files, and generate
comprehensive storage reports. This set of advanced instruments not only
helps the administrator efficiently monitor existing storage resources, but it
also aids in the planning and implementation of future policy changes. See
"Creating Quotas and File Screens" on page 41.
Storage Report Management
The Storage Reports Management node of the FSRM MMC snap-in allows
you to:
• Schedule periodic storage reports to identify trends in disk usage.
• Monitor attempts to save unauthorized files for all users or a selected
group of users.
• Generate storage reports instantly.
