CIFS protocol Windows client
A maintenance terminal is connected to
storage system through a management
network port or the management network
port of SVP (18000, 18000F series storage
systems). You can manage and maintain the
storage system on the maintenance terminal
running the DeviceManager program
developed by Huawei.

The file system of a storage system provides
file-level data storage services featuring high
performance and enhanced security.
2
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 shares the same user
name with the user.

1 Introduction
Basic Application Scenario
1a
Storage system

3
The storage system automatically identifies all
disks.
1
Disk domains are comprised of the same or
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. For OceanStor 5000,
6000, and 18000 series storage systems, a
storage pool can be divided into three storage
tiers based on storage media: high-performance
tier, performance tier, and capacity tier. For
OceanStor 5000F, 6000F, and 18000F series
storage systems, a storage pool contains the
high-performance tier only.
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 Installation Guide of the corresponding model. Before operations, follow instructions in the following table
to prepare data and enter actual values in the Value column.
Data Preparation
2a
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 modify the
password, see Administrator Guide of the
corresponding model.
High-performance tier uses SSDs.
Performance tier uses SAS disks.
Capacity tier uses NL-SAS disks.
For 5000F, 6000F, 18000F series storage
systems, only support the high
performance tier.

After thin provisioning is enabled, the storage system
will dynamically allocate storage resources on demand.
Notify: If a directory has some changes, clients that
access this directory or its parent directory can sense
the changes.
Oplock: a mechanism that improves client access
efficiency. After this mechanism is enabled, files are
cached 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.
For 5000F, 6000F, 18000F series
storage systems, only support
setting RAID policy and capacity.

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 supports the signature function.
Signature enforcement: After this option is selected, client must adopt the
signature function.
In CIFS 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.
After ABSE (access based share enumeration) has been enabled, only
the CIFS shares that a user has permission to access are displayed
when the user views the CIFS share information.
If the signature function is disabled, the storage system may encounter
man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, resulting in security risks.
When global root directory /is selected for File System, you can create a
CIFS GNS share.
Used for SMB3.0 continuous availability, only applied to the share for
Hyper-V.
