The VNXe Unisphere (GUI) and CLI today will not permit duplicate share names even if it is on different shared folder servers. This was done to make it consistent with the NFS shares behavior where it prevents from creating same NFS share on different NFS shared folder server. This is getting addressed in future releases.  You may however bypass this restriction by using Computer Management MMC to create shares.
Hi all,    Simple question really - is this by design or are we missing something? The scenario is that we are trying to create Dev / Test environments which rely on a specific share name (due to the backend code) so we have created a cifs server and a share such as \\Test\Share1. If I then try to create \\Dev\Share1, so same share name but on a seperate CIFS server, the VNXe complains and won't complete the task.    Is this a licencing issue (it is very basic at the moment) or just a limitation in the VNXe OS?  Cheers,  Matt
