NFS/SMB Interoperability

Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance supports NFS and SMB clients accessing the same shares concurrently. To correctly configure the appliance for NFS/SMB interoperability, you must configure the following components:

• Configure the Active Directory service. See Active Directory Configuration.

• Establish an identity mapping strategy and configure the service. See Identity Mapping Configuration.

• Configure SMB. See SMB Configuration.

• Configure access control, ACL entries, and ACL inheritance on shares.

SMB and NFSv3 do not use the same access control model. For best results, configure the ACL on the root directory from a SMB client because the SMB access control model is a more verbose model. For information on inheritable trivial ACL entries, see Access Control Lists for Filesystems.
