VNX default/glocal CIFS server
Hello,
I'm trying to understand A global CIFS server, a default CIFS servr and CIFS server within VDM. We have a eNAS. Now I'm ready VDM doc. It's a little confusing in the doc.
Here is the description in the doc (docu48458)
- In addition to CIFS servers that are created within a VDM, a global CIFS server is required for antivirus functionality. A global CIFS server is a CIFS server that is created at the physical Data Mover level.
- A default CIFS server and CIFS servers within a VDM cannot coexist on the same Data Mover. A default CIFS server is a global CIFS server that is assigned to all interfaces, and CIFS servers within a VDM require specified interfaces. If a VDM exists on a Data Mover, a default CIFS server cannot be created.
Are they contradict with each other?
We need to use CIFS servers within VDMs, can we still have a global CIFS server for antivirus as point 1 mentioned?
Thanks,
John

default CIFS server is an old construct from the pre-VDM days and shouldnt be used any longer
yes you can still use a global CIFS server together with VDM based CIFS servers and need it for antivirus
