NAS
Northern Storage Suite supports all CIFS compliant NAS devices - managing volumes where CIFS and mixed-mode protocol support is configured. NFS data and NFS users cannot be managed. Northern Storage Suite works with object ACLs, this security model is used in CIFS and CIFS/NFS mixed mode configurations, it is not present in NFS only configurations
No installation on the NAS device is required, instead an installation should be made on a Windows host [virtual or physical] and then processes on the NAS device[s] are managed remotely from that Windows host. A single managing host can control processes on multiple NAS devices.
The specific hardware and operating system requirements for management of NAS environments are detailed below:
