SMB Service in SAM-QFS

Chapter 8

This chapter provides information about the properties that support the Oracle Solaris Server Message Block (SMB) service in the Sun QFS and SAM-QFS software. This feature provides the ability to share files between Oracle Solaris and Windows systems.

The following new SAM-QFS properties facilitate sharing files between these systems by using the Oracle Solaris SMB service.

Case-insensitivity support
DOS attributes support
Sun QFS NFSv4 ACL support

Note the following basic requirements for supporting the SMB service in SAM-QFS:

Oracle Solaris 11 OS
The file system has to support NFSv4 ACLs. For information about creating a file system with NFSv4 ACls or converting the existing POSIX ACLs to NFSv4, see Using ACLs to Protect Sun QFS and SAM-QFS Files.

Note - The Oracle Solaris OS provides a Server Message Block (SMB) protocol server and client implementation that includes support for numerous SMB dialects including NT LM 0.12 and Common Internet File System (CIFS). The terms CIFS and SMB can be considered interchangeable.

For information about integrating an Oracle Solaris SMB server into an existing Windows environment and mounting SMB shares on Oracle Solaris systems, see Oracle Solaris Administration: SMB and Windows Interoperability.
