SMB support

SMB support

PowerMax File supports SMB 1 through SMB 3.1.1. When SMB support is enabled on the NAS server, you can create SMB-enabled file systems. The NAS server with SMB support can either be stand-alone, or Active Directory domain-joined. Domain-joined NAS servers are placed in the OU=Computers, OU=EMC NAS Servers organizational unit by default.

SMB file systems and shares have the following advanced protocol options:

NOTE: These options, except for Oplocks Enabled, are disabled by default.
