1b Storage system
1 The storage system automatically identifies4 all disks.
Disk domains are comprised of different types of
disks. Services of different disk domains are isolated
2 from each other. 5
Storage pools are created in disk domains and
comprised of RAID groups formed by disks of
3 different performance. A storage pool can 6 be
divided into three storage tiers based on storage
media: high-performance tier, performance tier, and
capacity tier.

 A file system can be created in a storage pool to provide
storage space for a CIFS share.
After creating a CIFS share, you can set different access
permissions for users.
A shared file system appears as a directory on a Windows-
based client when the client accesses the CIFS share provided
by a storage system.
A storage system shares its file system with a user in CIFS
Homedir mode. The shared file system appears as a directory.
The directory name is the same as the user name. The
Homedir directory can
be accessed only by this user.

The CIFS is a value-added feature that requires a license. For details about how to apply for and import a license, s
Guide of the corresponding model. Before operations, follow instructions in the following table
to prepare data and enter actual values in the Value column.
Preparation Item Source Example

Maintenance terminal: Logging in to the DeviceManager

Management network port IP addresses Network Default value:

administrator 192.168.128.101

User name and password for logging in to the

DeviceManager

You are advised to change the default password

immediately after you have logged in to the storage
system for the first time and periodically change your Default user name:
password in the future. This reduces the password System admin
leakage risks. For details about how to modify the administrator Default password:
password, see Administrator Guide of the Admin@storage

Domain authentication: Applies to scenarios where a domain user
or user group accesses a CIFS share in an AD domain. Service provider Global authentication
Global authentication: Local authentication is used first. If local
authentication fails, domain authentication is used.
