Technical Brief: Shared Folders

2. Shared Folders
Create Shared Folders on your LaCie professional server so that us-
ers and groups on the network may access data. It is easy to config-
ure SMB (Windows) and NFS (Linux) shares using Windows Storage
Server 2008 Server Manager while the ExtremeZ-IP Administrator
can set AFP (Mac) shares.
You may remotely set protocols, permissions, and quotas for each
Shared Folder. However, permissions that are based on active di-
rectory accounts must be set from the same network and domain as
your server.
TECHNICAL NOTE:
Certain Windows Storage Server services must
be installed in order to set Shared Folders;
File Services
for SMB
shares and
Services for Network File System
for NFS shares. Both
services are installed on your LaCie professional server as a default.
SMB and NFS Shared Folders must also be created on a volume with
an assigned drive letter.
