NFS Options — Defines the type of access to the container. Select one of the following options. |
▪ |
Read Write Access — To allow read-write access to the container. |
▪ |
Read Only Access — To allow read-only access. |
◦ |
Map Root To — Select one of the following options from the drop-down list to define the user level you want mapped to this container. |

Client Access — Define the NFS client(s) that can access the NFS container or manage the clients that can access this container by selecting one of the following options. |
▪ |
Open (allow all clients) — To allow open access for all clients to the NFS container you create. (Select this option only if you want to enable access for all clients to this NFS container.) |
▪ |
Create Client Access List — To define specific clients that can access the NFS container. In the Client FQDN or IP text box, type the IP address (or FQDN hostname) and click the Add icon. The “added” client appears in the Allow Clients list box. (To delete an existing client from this list box, select the IP address (or FQDN hostname) of the client you want to delete, and click the Delete icon. The “deleted” client disappears from the list box.) |
◦ |
Client Access — Define the CIFS client(s) that can access the container or manage the clients that can access this container by selecting one of the following options. |
▪ |
Open (allow all clients) — To allow open access for all clients to the container you create. (Select this option only if you want to enable access for all clients to this container.) |
▪ |
Create Client Access List — To define specific clients that can access the container. In the Client FQDN or IP text box, type the IP address (or FQDN hostname) and click the Add icon. The “added” client appears in the Allow Clients list box. (To delete an existing client from this list box, select the IP address (or FQDN hostname) of the client you want to delete, and click the Delete icon. The “deleted” client disappears from the list box.) |
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 DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide. |

To move data into an existing CIFS type container, complete the following steps.
2. |
NOTE: However, if your DR Series system is not listed, you can enter its hostname or IP Address preceded by "https://" and followed by the container name in the Address bar to access it (for example in this format, https://10.10.20.20/container-1). The DR Series system only supports the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) form of IP addressing. |
To create an OST or RDS connection type container, follow these steps:
