Folder, Printer, and Share
Management
The HP StorageWorks NAS 2000s supports several file sharing protocols, including DFS,
NFS, FTP, HTTP, and Microsoft SMB. This chapter discusses overview information as well as
procedural instructions for the setup and management of the file shares for the supported
protocols. In addition, discussions on security at the file level and at the share level are
included in this chapter. As a new feature to the NAS 2000, printer services for network
printers are now supported on the platform.
Abbreviated information on creating NFS file shares is included in this chapter; for detailed
information on setting up and managing NFS file shares, see the "UNIX File System
Management" chapter.
NCP shares must be set up and managed through the NAS Management Console user
interface. For information on managing NCP file shares, see the "NetWare File System
Management" chapter.
More information about Windows file system security is available on the Microsoft website:

All procedures in this chapter are documented using the WebUI. In addition to this guide, you
may use the WebUI online help.

Folder Management

Volumes and folders on any system are used to organize data. Regardless of system size,
systematic structuring and naming conventions of volumes and folders eases the
administrative burden. Moving from volumes to folders to shares increases the level of
granularity of the types of data stored in the unit and the level of security access allowed.
Although a variety of methods can be used to create and manage file folders on the NAS
2000s, this document discusses using the NAS Web based user interface (WebUI.)
Managing system volumes and file folders includes the following tasks:
