Creating a NAS server
NAS servers can share file storage over a variety of protocols including CIFS/SMB, NFS, and FTP.
About this task
To allocate file storage, first create a NAS server on the Dell EMC Unity storage array. The NAS server is
a standalone service with dedicated network interfaces (IPv4/IPv6 address information) to share file
through single or multiple NAS protocols. The network interfaces can share a common physical
connection to the LAN with other NAS servers.
IPv4 addresses are supported on Vblock Systems and VxBlock Systems. IPv6 addresses are supported
only on VxBlock Systems.
Separate, dedicated physical links are required for internal or external NAS servers. Internal servers
provide file shares to hosts and VMs inside the Converged System. External servers connect to LAN
devices outside of the Converged System.
A NAS server must be assigned to run primarily on one SP. In the event of an SP outage, the NAS server
automatically fails over to the other SP. To balance workload across SPs, allocate NAS servers in pairs,
