Users can manage and maintain the storage
system from a maintenance terminal running
the DeviceManager program developed by
Huawei. The maintenance terminal connects
to the management network port of the
storage system.

File system of storage system provide file-
level data storage services featuring high
performance and enhanced security.

CIFS is a file system sharing protocol
developed by Microsoft and intended for
Windows. Through CIFS, files can be
transferred and shared between Windows
clients.
3
Generally, CIFS shares provided by storage
systems are public directories and can be
accessed by all authorized users. If you
want to set a private directory, enable
Homedir so that each user can only access
the directory that share the same user name
with the user.

1 Introduction
Basic Application Scenario
1a

3
The storage system automatically identifies all
disks.
1
Disk domains are comprised of different types
of disks. Services of different disk domains are
isolated from each other.
2
Storage pools are created in disk domains and
comprised of RAID groups formed by disks of
different performance. Storage pools provide
logical storage space.
3
A file system can be created in a storage pool to
provide storage space for a CIFS share.
4
1b
After creating a CIFS share, you can set different
access permissions for users.
5
A shared file system appears as a directory on a
Windows-based client when the client accesses the
CIFS share provided by a storage system.
A storage system shares its file system with a user
in CIFS Homedir mode. The shared file system
appears as a directory. The directory name is the
same as the user name. The Homedir directory can
be accessed only by this user..

2 Data Preparation and Operation instructions
The CIFS is a value-added feature that requires a license. For details about how to apply for and import a license,
see the OceanStor 2200 V3&2600 V3 Storage Systems V300R005 Installation Guide.Before operations, follow
instructions in the following table to prepare data and enter actual values in the Value column.
Data preparation

This document uses example values to describe the configuration.
Replace example values with actual values during actual configuration.
The figure in the right shows the mappings of example values and actual values in the following table.
A1
Example Value
You are advised to change the default
password immediately after you have logged
in to the storage system for the first time and
periodically change your password in the
future. This reduces the password leakage
risks. For details about how to change the
password, see OceanStor 2200 V3&2600
V3 Storage System V300R005 Administrator
Guide.
High-performance tier uses SSDs.
Performance tier uses SAS disks.

After thin provisioning is enabled, the storage system
will dynamically allocate storage resources on demand.
Notify: Notify: After this parameter is enabled, a client's
operations on a directory, such as adding a sub-
directory, adding a new file, modifying the directory,
and modifying a file, can be sensed by other clients
that are accessing this directory or the parent directory
of this directory through automatic display refreshing.
Oplock: a mechanism that improves client access
efficiency. After this mechanism is enabled, files are
buffered locally before being sent to shared storage.
5
Local authentication: Applies to scenarios where a local
authentication user or user group accesses a CIFS
share in a non-domain environment
Domain authentication: Applies to scenarios where a
domain user or user group accesses a CIFS share in
an AD domain.
Global authentication: Local authentication is used first.
If local authentication fails, domain authentication is
used.
Guest: After the guest service is enabled, users can
access shared directories without providing
usernames or password. Besides, users have the
same permission as the Everyone group.

File system for which Homedir is enabled.
In Homedir share mode, a file system is shared to a
specific user as an exclusive directory. The user can
only view and access the exclusive directory
named after its user name.
Used for SMB3.0 continuous availability, only applied
to the share for Hyper-V.
Signature: This function is available when clients
adopt SMB1.0. After this option is selected, the system
support the signature function.
Signature enforcement: After this option is selected ,
client must adopt the signature function.
After ABSE (Access based share enumeration)
has been enabled, when user view the CIFS share
information, only the CIFS shares that the user has
permission to access displays.
If the signature function is disabled, the
storage system may encounter man-in-
themiddle (MITM) attacks, resulting in
security risks.

Click More and choose Set Security Policies
to set a security policy for the password of the
local authentication user in the file system.
For security purpose, you are advised to
select Password Validity Period (Days). After
you select this item, your password will never
expire. The default validity period is 180 days.
After the password expires, the user cannot
access shares. You can set a password again
and modify the password security policy.
