Folder, Printer, and Share Management Publishing a New Share in DFS Once a root has been established either on the local machine or one in the network, shares can be published in order to extend the virtual name space. For example, several shares can be created for a DFS root labeled "Engineering." The shares might be titled "Documentation," "Technical Specs," and "Project Info." When mapping to \\computername\engineering, all three of these shares would be found under the mapped drive even though they exist on different NAS devices, drives or shares points. To publish a share in a DFS root: Figure 84: DFS share example 1. Select Shares from the WebUI. 2. Type in a new share name 3. Type in a folder name (select the checkbox Create folder if appropriate) 4. Verify that the Windows checkbox is selected. (DFS is dependent on the SMB protocol) 5. Under DFS, check the box if unchecked. Note: The default behavior can be set to publish all shares to DFS. In this case the box will be checked. See the section above Setting DFS Sharing Defaults. 6. Enter in the name of the DFS root to publish the share ("Engineering" in this example). The network name will be displayed below the entry. 7. Click OK. A share name will be published in the namespace. To view the namespace, map a drive to the DFS root. All published shares will be seen in the namespace. See the example in Figure 85. 146 NAS 4000s and 9000s Administration Guide

Publishing a New Share in DFS
Once a root has been established either on the local machine or one in the network, shares can
be published in order to extend the virtual name space. For example, several shares can be
created for a DFS root labeled “Engineering.” The shares might be titled “Documentation,”
“Technical Specs,” and “Project Info.” When mapping to
\\computername\engineering
, all
three of these shares would be found under the mapped drive even though they exist on
different NAS devices, drives or shares points. To publish a share in a DFS root:
Figure 84:
DFS share example
1.
Select
Shares
from the WebUI.
2.
Type in a new share name
3.
Type in a folder name (select the checkbox
Create folder
if appropriate)
4.
Verify that the Windows checkbox is selected. (DFS is dependent on the SMB protocol)
5.
Under DFS, check the box if unchecked.
Note:
The default behavior can be set to publish all shares to DFS. In this case the box will be
checked. See the section above
Setting DFS Sharing Defau
lts.
6.
Enter in the name of the DFS root to publish the share (“Engineering” in this example).
The network name will be displayed below the entry.
7.
Click
OK
.
A share name will be published in the namespace.
To view the namespace, map a drive to the DFS root. All published shares will be seen in the
namespace. See the example in
Figure 85
.
