How do I set up the SMB Autohome directory feature?
Autohome shares are temporary shares that are created when a user logs on to the
system and removed when the user logs off. The autohome path defines the base
directory path for the shares. For example, if a user's home directory is
/usr/home/john, then the autohome path should be set to /usr/home. The
temporary share will be named john. It is assumed that the user's home directory
name is the same as the user's logon name.
To set up Autohome, proceed as follows:
1. Access the StorEdge via Telnet or serial console.
2. Press [Enter] at the [menu] prompt and enter the administrator password.
3. Press the spacebar until “CIFS/SMB Configuration” is displayed under
“Extensions” at the lower right.
4. Select the letter corresponding to “CIFS/SMB” Configuration”.
5. Select the letter corresponding to “Autohome Setup”.
6. Select option “1”, “Edit fields”.
7. Select “Y”, “Yes” to enable Autohome support.
8. Define the path, including volume name, where user home directories are located.
9. Define the ADS container that these shares should be published to. (This assumes
that ADS is already configured)
10. After configuring desired options, select option “7”, “Save Changes”.
This functionality is also available through the StorEdge Web Admin. To use the Web
Admin, connect with a Web browser to http://<hostname or IP address of your
StorEdge>. Click “Grant” or “Yes” to accept any Java software authorization
windows and you will reach the login screen. Type the administrator password to
access the administration interface.
Navigate to Windows Configuration/Configure Autohome. Therein you will find all
the options listed above.
