configure the network on the switch. Refer to the PowerStore Network Planning Guide for details. Deployment requirements NAS services are only available on PowerStore T model appliances. If you are running PowerStore X model appliances, this service is not available. If you chose Block-only while - Dell PowerStore 7000X | EMC PowerStore Configuring NFS Exports - Page 7
or both. NOTE: If you select SMB and an NFS protocol, you automatically enable the NAS server to support multiprotocol. Unix Directory Services (Naming Services) You can configure the naming services with a combination of Local Files and NIS, or LDAP. Refer to the following sections for configuring - Dell PowerStore 7000X | EMC PowerStore Configuring NFS Exports - Page 8
date and time. It is recommended that you set up a minimum of two NTP servers per domain to avoid a single point of failure. • A UNIX Directory Service (UDS) • One or more DNS servers • Either an AD or custom realm must be added for Kerberos authentication • A keytab file must be uploaded to your - Dell PowerStore 7000X | EMC PowerStore Configuring NFS Exports - Page 9
and add IP addresses for the NIS servers. Next steps To troubleshoot issues with configuring a UDS using NIS, ensure that the NIS server domain and server IP addresses you enter are correct. Configure a NAS server UNIX Directory Service using LDAP You can configure a NAS server UNIX Directory - Dell PowerStore 7000X | EMC PowerStore Configuring NFS Exports - Page 10
steps To troubleshoot issues with configuring a UDS using LDAP, ensure that: • The LDAP configuration adheres to one of the supported schemas, following steps: Steps 1. Select Storage > NAS Servers > [nas server] > Naming Services > Local Files. 2. For each type of local file, select the down arrow - Dell PowerStore 7000X | EMC PowerStore Configuring NFS Exports - Page 11
FTP sharing protocol You can configure FTP or FTP over SSH (SFTP) settings for an existing NAS server only. Prerequisites Passive mode FTP is not supported. FTP access can be authenticated using the same methods as NFS. Once authentication is complete, access is the same as NFS for security and - Dell PowerStore 7000X | EMC PowerStore Configuring NFS Exports - Page 12
RPCSEC_GSS security framework and Kerberos authentication protocol to verify users and services. If the NAS server has been configured with NFS only, To use a Unix-based KDC, follow these steps before configuring Kerberos in PowerStore. The steps assume that you want to use myrealm in the Kerberos - Dell PowerStore 7000X | EMC PowerStore Configuring NFS Exports - Page 13
server account on the NAS server, follow these steps before configuring Kerberos in PowerStore. The steps assume that you want to use myrealm.windows.dellemc.com (AD) of the windows domain windows.dellemc.com. 2. Register the service SPN on the computer account you created: C:\setspn -S nfs/myrealm. - Dell PowerStore 7000X | EMC PowerStore Configuring NFS Exports - Page 14
4. Enter the custom realm. 5. Upload the Keytab file. 14 Create NAS servers - Dell PowerStore 7000X | EMC PowerStore Configuring NFS Exports - Page 15
helpful to note the following: • A NAS server must be configured to support NFS protocol before creating a file system. • You can choose to metadata upon creation. For example, after creating a 100GB thin file system, PowerStore T model immediately shows 1.5GB used. When the file system is mounted - Dell PowerStore 7000X | EMC PowerStore Configuring NFS Exports - Page 16
the storage system. • Each NFS share must have a unique local path.PowerStore automatically assigns this path to the initial export created within a new file the file system. Only snapshots are supported for protection for file systems. Replication is not supported on file system. 8. Review the - Dell PowerStore 7000X | EMC PowerStore Configuring NFS Exports - Page 17

5 More file system features This chapter includes the following information. Topics: • File system quotas File system quotas You can track and limit drive space consumption by configuring quotas for file systems at the file system or directory level. You can enable or disable quotas at any time, - Dell PowerStore 7000X | EMC PowerStore Configuring NFS Exports - Page 20
Add a user quota onto a file system Create a user quota on a file system to limit or track the amount of storage space that individual users consume on that file system. When you create or modify user quotas, you can use default hard and soft limits that are set at the file-system level. Steps 1.
