How to get into engineering mode to get paths for cifs shares
Hello,
I want to create CIFS share paths on the DD host. Created them in GUI but it cannot complete because the error is
"path not found". I login with sysadmin and I cannot cd or any other command. How do I change to an engineering shell?
Thanks!

Are you trying to export a specific mtree as a CIFS share, or a subdirectory of an existing mtree?
Normally, I just do the whole deal from the CLI with cifs share create path
sysadmin@ddreplica# cifs share create WINSQL path /data/col1/win-mtree
Done.
Depending on your version of DDOS, you'll follow different instructions to configure rights from either the Data Domain GUI or a Windows host on your network.
Add User or Group to CIFS Share
Let us know if that helps!

i typically connect (using windows explorer) to \\datadomain\backup ..there i create a subfolder/set ACLs that later on can be export via DD GUI or the CLI (Karl's example). What is this folder for ? Maybe you need to create an mtree ?

Thank you so much, the problem is how to create the directory on the linux data domain server. I will try the cifs share command and see if that works.

same way you create folders for CIFS users. Be carefull with windows ACLs and Linux. Some windows ACLs don't play nice with Linux. Here is my Data Domain directory structure:
/backup/nfs/customer1
/backup/nfs/customer2
/backup/cifs/customer1
/backup/cifs/customer2
when i create my nfs customer directory, i set windows ACLs to "Everyone" has full control. Since that directory gets exported via NFS only, i am not worried about anyone from Windows world trying to connect to it.
