7 What to Do Next
After getting started, you can customize the NAS service and create additional file systems, CIFS shares, and
NFS exports. You can also use snapshots to protect NAS file system data.

The PS Series
Group Administration
manual provides detailed NAS service information. The Group Manager
online help describes how to use the Group Manager graphical user interface (GUI) to manage a NAS service.
The PS Series
