How to enter the filer's CIFS shares in the DFS root tree

Applies to

Data ONTAP 7

Description

Distributed File System for Microsoft Windows NT Server (DFS) allows distributed file systems capabilities on Windows NT Server. A distributed file system provides a single tree structure for multiple shared volumes located on different servers. A user accessing a share using DFS doesn't need to know the name of the server where the share resides.

If a file server goes down, or if you need to move a volume from one server to another, you can do so without informing users of the change. You can increase data availability and transparently distribute load across multiple servers by using duplicate storage points for a single volume.

Can a Volume ID be reused in Element Software?

Applies to

Element Software.

Answer

No. The Volume ID is uniquely generated for every volume that is created. Even if a volume is deleted, the number will always increment when a new volume is created based on the last Volume ID that was used.
