NAS Configuration
The DXi4000 presents its disk storage as NAS (network attached storage) shares. Before
you can use the DXi4000 for backups, you must create at least one NAS share on the
system. After you create a NAS share, you can configure your backup application to back
up data to the share.
Use the following procedure to set up a basic NAS share.
