Tandberg Viking Series Storage Server Administration Manual
Next, you add two folders with targets to the namespace. You create one
folder named Tools within the Software folder, and you create another folder
named Training Guides directly under the root named Public.
To create a folder named Tools in the namespace:
1.
In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, right-click the
Software
folder, and then click
New Folder
.
2.
In
Name
, type
Tools
.
3.
Click
Add
to add a folder target.
4.
Click
Browse
to open the
Browse for Shared Folders
dialog box.
5.
In
Server
, enter the name of the server that will host the Tools
shared folder.
6.
Click
New Shared Folder
.
7.
In the
Create Share
dialog box, in the
Share name
box, type
Tools
,
and then enter the local path where you want the shared folder to be
created. If the folder does not exist, you are prompted to create it.
Click
OK
to close all dialog boxes.
After you finish this procedure, the Tools folder is added to the console tree
as shown in the following figure. (You might need to double-click the
Software folder to display the Tools folder.) Notice the icon next to the Tools
folder and how it differs from the Software folder’s icon. This icon appears
next to all folders that have targets to differentiate them from folders that do
not have targets.
Now, select the Tools folder and review the contents of the
Folder Targets
tab in the details pane. Notice there is a single path shown. This means that
only one server hosts the folder target that corresponds to the Tools folder. If
that server becomes unavailable, the shared folder is also unavailable.
To increase the availability of the Tools folder, you can add a second folder
target.
To add a second folder target to the Tools folder:
1.
In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, right-click the
Tools
folder, and then click
Add Folder Target
.
2.
Click
Browse
to open the Browse for Shared Folders dialog box.
3.
In
Server
, enter the name of another server that will host the Tools
shared folder. Be sure to enter a different server from the one you
specified in the previous procedure.
