3.2 Common Internet File System (CIFS)

3.2.1 Folder Redirection to an OES CIFS Share Is Not Supported

Folder Redirection of a user's folders to a CIFS share on an OES server is currently not supported.

Micro Focus plans to fix this in a future OES release.

3.2.2 Installing CIFS after the OES Installation does not Export Local Volumes and Shares

Installing CIFS after the OES installation does not mount local volumes on a physical server through CIFS. This happens when the share-vols-default option is set to NO.

The novcifs --share-vols-default=SERVER_NAME --value=yes|no option should be enabled by default for physical servers and virtual servers to export all the volumes and shares belonging to the sever. The server name is case-sensitive and can be listed by running the novcifs --list-servers command.

To resolve this issue, restart the CIFS service to set the --share-vols-default option to YES and export all local volumes and shares. Restarting the CIFS service is not required for a cluster resource or for a volume created on a virtual server.

Micro Focus plans to fix this issue in a future OES release.
