Cluster1::> vserver setup

Welcome to the Vserver Setup Wizard, which will lead you through

the steps to create a virtual storage server that serves data to clients.

You can enter the following commands at any time:

"help" or "?" if you want to have a question clarified,

"back" if you want to change your answers to previous questions, and

"exit" if you want to quit the Vserver Setup Wizard. Any changes

you made before typing "exit" will be applied.

You can restart the Vserver Setup Wizard by typing "vserver setup". To accept a default

or omit a question, do not enter a value.

Vserver Setup wizard creates and configures only data Vservers.

If you want to create a Vserver with Infinite Volume use the vserver create command.

Step 1. Create a Vserver.

You can type "back", "exit", or "help" at any question.

Enter the Vserver name: vsmcifs01

Choose the Vserver data protocols to be configured {nfs, cifs, fcp, iscsi, ndmp}: cifs

Choose the Vserver client services to be configured {ldap, nis, dns}: dns

Enter the Vserver's root volume aggregate {aggrnode1, aggrnode2} [aggrnode2]: aggrnode1

Enter the Vserver language setting, or "help" to see all languages [C.UTF-8]:

Enter the Vserver root volume's security style {mixed, ntfs, unix} [ntfs]:

Vserver creation might take some time to finish....

Vserver vsmcifs01 with language set to C.UTF-8 created.  The permitted protocols are cifs.

Step 2: Create a data volume

You can type "back", "exit", or "help" at any question.

Do you want to create a data volume? {yes, no} [yes]: yes

Enter the volume name [vol1]:

Enter the name of the aggregate to contain this volume {aggrnode1, aggrnode2} [aggrnode2]:

aggrnode1

Enter the volume size: 1GB

Enter the volume junction path [/vol/vol1]:

It can take up to a minute to create a volume...

Volume vol1 of size 1GB created on aggregate aggrnode1 successfully.

Do you want to create an additional data volume? {yes, no} [no]: no

Step 3: Create a logical interface.

You can type "back", "exit", or "help" at any question.

Do you want to create a logical interface? {yes, no} [yes]: yes

Enter the LIF name [lif1]: vsmcifs01

Which protocols can use this interface {nfs, cifs, iscsi}: cifs

Enter the home node {Cluster1-02, Cluster1-01} [Cluster1-02]: Cluster1-01

Enter the home port {a0a, e0c} [a0a]: a0a

Enter the IP address: 192.168.15.169

Enter the network mask: 255.255.255.0

Enter the default gateway IP address: 192.168.15.2

LIF vsmcifs01 on node Cluster1-01, on port a0a with IP address 192.168.15.169 was created.

Do you want to create an additional LIF now? {yes, no} [no]: no

Step 4: Configure DNS (Domain Name Service).

You can type "back", "exit", or "help" at any question.

Do you want to configure DNS? {yes, no} [yes]: yes

Enter the comma separated DNS domain names: nasadmin.local

Enter the comma separated DNS server IP addresses: 192.168.15.132

DNS for Vserver vsmcifs01 is configured.

Step 5: Configure CIFS.

You can type "back", "exit", or "help" at any question.

Do you want to configure CIFS? {yes, no} [yes]: yes

Enter the CIFS server name [VSMCIFS01-CLUST]: vsmcifs01

Enter the Active Directory domain name: nasadmin.local

In order to create an Active Directory machine account for the CIFS server, you must supply the name

and password of a Windows account with sufficient privileges to add computers to the "CN=Computers"

container within the "nasadmin.local" domain.

Enter the user name: administrator

Enter the password:

Warning: An account by this name already exists in Active Directory at

         CN=vsmcifs01,CN=Computers,DC=nasadmin,DC=local

         Ok to reuse this account? {y|n}: y

CIFS server "VSMCIFS01" created and successfully joined the domain.

Do you want to share a data volume with CIFS clients? {yes, no} [yes]: yes

Enter the CIFS share name [vol1]: vsmcifsshare

Enter the CIFS share path [/vol/vol1]:

Select the initial level of access that the group "Everyone" has to the share {No_access, Read,

Change, Full_Control} [No_access]: Full_Control

The CIFS share "vsmcifsshare" created successfully.

Default UNIX users and groups created successfully.

Default export policy rule created successfully.

Vserver vsmcifs01, with protocol(s) cifs, and service(s) dns has been configured successfully.
