Creating your file...
After you create your data volumes, you can create the continuously available shares that the application servers use to access Hyper-V virtual machine and configuration files and SQL Server database files. You should use the share configuration worksheet as you create the SMB shares.
-
Display information about the existing data volumes and their junction paths:
volume show -vserver vserver_name -junction
-
Create a continuously available SMB share:
vserver cifs share create -vserver vserver_name -share-name share_name -path path -share-properties oplocks,continuously-available -symlink "" [-comment text]
-
You can optionally add a comment to the share configuration.
-
By default, the offline files share property is configured on the share and is set to
manual
. -
ONTAP creates the share with the Windows default share permission of
Everyone
/Full Control
.
-
-
Repeat the previous step for all shares in the share configuration worksheet.
-
Verify that your configuration is correct by using the
vserver cifs share show
command. -
Configure NTFS file permissions on the continuously available shares by mapping a drive to each share, and configuring file permissions by using the Windows Properties window.
The following commands create a continuously available share named “data2” on storage virtual machine (SVM, formerly known as Vserver) vs1. Symlinks are disabled by setting the -symlink
parameter to ""
