Storage Management Overview Clustered Server Elements The HP StorageWorks NAS server supports several file-sharing protocols, including DFS, NFS, FTP, HTTP, and Microsoft SMB. Only NFS, FTP, and Microsoft SMB are cluster-aware protocols. HTTP can be installed on each node but the protocols cannot be set up through cluster administrator, nor will they failover during a node failure. Caution: AppleTalk shares should not be created on clustered resources as this is not supported by Microsoft Clustering and data loss may occur. Network names and IP address resources for the clustered file share resource may also be established for access across a network to a variety of clients. Permissions can then be granted to those shares based on users or groups of users in each of the file sharing protocols. 64 NAS 4000s and 9000s Administration Guide

NAS 4000s and 9000s Administration Guide

Clustered Server Elements

The HP StorageWorks NAS server supports several file-sharing protocols, including DFS,

NFS, FTP, HTTP, and Microsoft SMB. Only NFS, FTP, and Microsoft SMB are cluster-aware

protocols. HTTP can be installed on each node but the protocols cannot be set up through

cluster administrator, nor will they failover during a node failure.

Caution:

AppleTalk shares should not be created on clustered resources as this is not

supported by Microsoft Clustering and data loss may occur.

Network names and IP address resources for the clustered file share resource may also be

established for access across a network to a variety of clients. Permissions can then be granted

to those shares based on users or groups of users in each of the file sharing protocols.
