File Share Resource Type
If you want to use a PowerEdge Cluster as a high-availability file server, you will need to select
the type of file share for your resource. Three ways to use this resource type are available:
•
Basic file share
— Publishes a single file folder to the network under a single name.
•
Share subdirectories
— Publishes several network names—one for each file folder and all of
its immediate subfolders. This method is an efficient way to create large numbers of related
file shares on a single file server. For example, you can create a file share for each user with
files on the cluster node.
•
DFS root
— Creates a resource that manages a stand-alone DFS root. Fault-tolerant DFS
roots cannot be managed by this resource. A DFS root file share resource has required
dependencies on a network name and an IP address. The network name can be either the
cluster name or any other network name for a virtual server.
