User Capacity: 12 GB
LUN ID: choose one
Number of LUNS: 1 (how many LUNs you need)
Select the Name radio button.
In the Name field enter your RG5 LUN Name
Starting ID: you need to choose one if you create more than 1 LUN a time

25. Create a file system Create From: Storage Pool
File System Name: File System Name
Storage Pool: File Pool (created)
Storage Capacity: 12 GB
Auto Extend Enabled: unchecked
Thin Enabled: unchecked
Slice Volumes: checked
File-level Retention: off
Deduplication Enabled: unchecked
Vmware VAAI nested clone support: unchecked
Data Mover (R/W): Data Mover

27. Check the mounts tab

30. Export NFS file system Choose Data Mover: Data Mover
File System: name you created
Path: /File System
Root Hosts: Linux Host address

31. NFS exports list

32. Mount the file system Login to the Linux server as root
Create a mount point on the Linux server
cd /
mkdir /fs1
NFS mount this directory to the exported file system on your Data Mover
mount data_mover_ip:/File _system_name /mount_point
mount :/EL_NFS1 /fs1

33. Mount the file system Verify the file system df –h cd /fs1 ls –al
Note: By default a new directory is empty. Therefore, when you created your
/fs1 directory on the client it was empty. However, after NFS mounting it to
your Data Mover, /fs1 is now being redirected to a file system showing
lost+found and .etc (hidden) directories.

37. CITI GROUP There is a NFS share on each control station
Do not remove/move the files there

38. How to create a CIFS share
Create a virtual data mover
Create and mount a file system to a VDM
Verify CIFS Service is Started on Data Movers
Create a CIFS Interface on the Data Mover
Create a CIFS Share at the top-level of a VNX file system

40. Create a virtual data mover
Click storage -> CIFS
And select VDMs tab

41. Why will create virtual data mover?
One data mover can be mounted to one CIFS server
Create more than 1 CIFS server on one physical data mover
Easy to manage

42. Create a virtual data mover
Data Mover: choose one
Name: vdm_cifs2
Create the configuration using: Default Storage Allocation

43. VDMs list

44. Create and mount a file system to a VDM
Storage > Storage Configuration > File Systems
And select file system tab

45. Create and mount a file system to a VDM
Create From: Storage Pool
File System Name: EL_CIFS2
Storage Pool: File Pool
Storage Capacity: 25 GB
Auto Extend Enabled: unchecked
Thin Enabled: unchecked
Slice Volumes: checked
File-level Retention: Off
Deduplication Enabled: unchecked
VMware VAAI nested clone support: unchecked
Data Mover (R/W): VDM
Mount Point: Default

47. Verify CIFS Service is Started on Data Movers
Storage -> Shared Folders -> CIFS
Select the data movers.
Verify that the option “CIFS Serice Started:” is checked.

48. Create a CIFS Interface on the Data Mover
Click Setting -> Network -> Settings for File and select the Interfaces tab

49. Create a CIFS Interface on the Data Mover
Data Mover: Select one Data Mover
Device Name: Network Device
Address: the IP of the interface
Name: Enter your CIFS interface
Netmask: (auto complete)
The Broadcast Address is calculated automatically
Do not enter the MTU value
Do not enter the VLAN ID value

50. Create a CIFS server
Click storage -> Shared folders -> CIFS and select the CIFS server tab
Create a CIFS server

51. Data Mover: Select your VDM
Server Type: Active Directory
Computer Name: Enter your CIFS Server
Aliases: Leave blank
NetBIOS Name: Leave blank
Domain: hmarine.test
Join the Domain: checked
Domain Admin User Name: Administrator
Domain Admin Password: emc2Admin!
Organizational Unit: Leave at default value
Enable local users: unchecked
Interfaces: Checked for your Data Mover Address

52. Create a CIFS Share at the top-level of a VNX file system
click Storage > Shared Folders > CIFS and select the Shares tab
Create a CIFS share

53. Create a CIFS Share at the top-level of a VNX file system
Choose a Data Mover: Select your VDM
CIFS Share Name: TOP$
File System: Select your File System
Path: Leave at the default
NetBIOS Name: Leave blank
CIFS Servers: Checked for your CIFS Server
User limit: Leave blank
Comment: Leave blank
