CIFS and NFS shares in Netapp 7 Mode

1. CIFS (Common Internet File system)
 CIFS, a protocol that defines a standard for remote file access using
millions of computers at a time. With CIFS, users with different platforms
and computers can share files without having to install new software.
 CIFS runs over TCP/IP but uses the SMB (Server Message Block)protocol
found in Microsoft Windows for file and printer access.

2. Configure and access the CIFS share
 Configure the CIFS and start SMB protocol in
NetApp storage
 Create CIFS share
 Access and create CIFS share from windows client
 Map a network drive for windows client
 Edit permission for CIFS share

18. What is the difference between CIFS
and SMB
 SMB stands for “Server Message Block.” It’s a file sharing
protocol that was invented by IBM and has been around since
the mid-eighties. It was designed to allow computers to read
and write files to a remote host over a local area network
(LAN). The directories on the remote hosts made available via
SMB are called “shares.”
 CIFS stands for “Common Internet File System.” CIFS is a
dialect of SMB. That is, CIFS is a particular implementation of
the Server Message Block protocol, created by Microsoft.

26. NETAPP SNAPSHOT TECHNOLOGY
 How does NetApp snapshot technology works?
When data ontap creates a snapshot copy, it preserves
the inode map as it is at the point in time and then
continuous to make changes to the inode map on the
active file system. Data ontap keeps the older version of
the inode map.
There is no data movement at the time of the snapshot copy is created.
