Dynamic File Services allows users to access files on both the primary and secondary paths via a network share that you create for the primary path. When users access the share, they see a merged view of the file trees for the primary path and the secondary path. The merged view gives users access to all of their files in a pair.
Use to create a network share on a Dynamic File Services pair’s primary storage location. When users map a drive on their computers to the share, they can see a merged view of the files stored on the pair.
A network share is needed on the primary path in order to provide a merged view of the pair. You can add shares above or below the network share for the primary path.
Network shares on, above, or below the secondary path must be removed, or restricted from direct access by users.
To create a network share:
Use to create a network share on the primary storage location.
See the Microsoft Windows documentation for information about how to set up network sharing on the computers where DynamicFS is running.
Map a drive to the network share, and verify that the users can see a merged view of the two locations that make up the pair.
