Working with Shared Folders 4 Working with Shared Folders Accessing Shared Folders Once you have added users and created shared folders, as described in "Adding Users" on page 32 and "Creating Shared Folders" on page 35, the users need to perform some simple steps to be able to access those folders. The procedure for doing this varies, depending on the user's operating system. Each user can access only those shared folders that the user is authorized to access. Notes: • If the storage system uses Active Directory authentication mode, and the clocks of the storage system and the Active Directory server differ by more than five minutes, errors will occur when users try to access the shared folders. It is recommended that you configure both the storage system and the Active Directory server to set their times from a common Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. To configure this on the storage system, see "Changing the System Settings" on page 66. • If you change the IP address of the storage system, users who accessed the shared folders using the previous IP address is disconnected and must repeat the procedures described here using the new IP address. Microsoft Windows* Users If you are using Microsoft Windows*, you have two options for accessing shared folders: you can use My Computer/Windows Explorer to map a drive letter to the shared folder, or you can install the Console and use that utility to map a drive letter to the shared folder. The Console must be installed on the same subnet as the storage system. It is not necessary to remember the name of the storage server and shared folders because they are displayed automatically.

Working with Shared Folders
Accessing Shared Folders
Once you have added users and created shared folders, as described in
“Adding Users” on
page 32
and
“Creating Shared Folders” on page 35
, the users need to perform some simple
steps to be able to access those folders. The procedure for doing this varies, depending on
the user’s operating system. Each user can access only those shared folders that the user is
authorized to access.
Notes:
If the storage system uses Active Directory authentication mode, and the clocks of the
storage system and the Active Directory server differ by more than five minutes,
errors will occur when users try to access the shared folders. It is recommended that
you configure both the storage system and the Active Directory server to set their
times from a common Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. To configure this on the
storage system, see
“Changing the System Settings” on page 66
.
If you change the IP address of the storage system, users who accessed the shared
folders using the previous IP address is disconnected and must repeat the procedures
described here using the new IP address.
Microsoft Windows* Users
If you are using Microsoft Windows*, you have two options for accessing shared folders:
you can use My Computer/Windows Explorer to map a drive letter to the shared folder, or
you can install the Console and use that utility to map a drive letter to the shared folder.
The Console must be installed on the same subnet as the storage system. It is not
necessary to remember the name of the storage server and shared folders because they are
displayed automatically.
