Adding a share

There are two ways to create a share:

Policy-based templates - automated process for share creation. Policy templates implicitly create a file system, set up replication, and encrypt data as needed.
File system based - manual process of creating a file system.

You can create a share for a file system using one or more of the following provisioning types:

To add a share (file system based)

Select the file system from the list.
To share at the directory level rather than the entire file system, specify the directory path.
Select the provisioning type and specify the appropriate sharing options.
See NFS protocol options.
See CIFS protocol options.
Provision Storage to share the same file system to a different client with different options, or in some cases a different protocol.
Check the Recent Activity panel for the status of the task to add the share.
