• Enable data deduplication - Select the check box to enable
data deduplication. Quantum recommends that you enable
data deduplication to optimize disk usage.
Note: Data deduplication is enabled by default. You cannot
enable or disable data deduplication after the share is
added. If data duplication is disabled, then data
compression is also disabled.
• Export Protocol - Select the export protocol for the share:
• CIFS - Select the CIFS option to use the share on a Windows
network.
• NFS - Select the NFS option to use the share on a UNIX or
Linux network.
3 (Optional) Under Replication Settings , specify replication settings.
For more information about configuring replication for a share, or
to set up replication for the share at a later time, see DXi4701
Replication on page 113.
4 Click Apply .
Note: When you create a CIFS share, the initial permissions are the
same as the default permissions for a Windows 2003 share
with the addition of an ACE (Access Control Entry) that permits
full access to the share for all authenticated users.
Administrators can choose to remove this full access ACE, set
up custom permissions, or leave the ACL (Access Control List)
as it is if the server is set up in a fully trusted environment.
