 Question 1) Can i provide the NFS client the ip of "any" interface as "IP address of data mover"?. Question 2) What if the interface is assigned to a CIFS server?. Can i provide the ip of this interface to the NFS client? Question 3) I tried to mount using ip address of the interface assigned to a CIFS server on a unix server. I can read but not write to the NAS although root access has been specified for this unix server.    1) it can be any IP interfaces on that datamover as long as the NFS client can connect to it. I like to assign dedicated interface (ip address) to a datamover that will be used for NFS only. For example you may have an interface assigned to a CIFS server (10.5.3.31). In reality you could give your Unix admin the same interface to connect to an NFS export but i like to have those dedicated in case i need to decommission that CIFS server, i will not accidentally remove that interface.  2) same as number one  3) you are not using the same file system for CIFS and NFS ?  When you exported NFS did you specify read+write hosts / access hosts and root hosts ?
Friends, i am a netapp person trying to learn celerra. I have been through the celerra  documentation cd but still have some questions unanswered. I would appreciate if you  could answer the following questions. Please answer with respect to celerra manager:  1) Do i need to create a cifs server everytime i create a new filesystem ?2) What are "interfaces"? why do i need to associate an interface with the cifs server?. 3)  Are they virtual or physical interfaces? 4) Can i pick an interface that has been chosen already by another Cifs server?5) What is the domain admin user name and password field when i try to create a new cifs  server. Am i creating a new user name and password here or what?6) When i create a new cifs share, can i pick any existing cifs server or create a new one?7) Since i do not have to create a nfs server, how will unix users mount the export? What  servername will they use in the mount command: "mount :    8) To provide NAS storage to NFS users, the steps to follow would be: create fs, create an   export pointing to this fs. Am i missing any step here?.I see a mount tab in filerview next  to filesystems, when do i need to create a mount?
