Provision file shares in heterogeneous environments
Nfs 2 se tracks for nfs4 windows#
The following deployment scenarios are examples of how you can deploy a continuously available Windows Server 2012 file server using NFS. NFS supports a mixed environment of Windows-based and UNIX-based operating systems.
This improvement is a key component of the continuous availability capability of the file server running Windows Server 2012. The Resume Key Manager is a component that tracks file server and file system state and enables the Windows SMB and NFS protocol servers to fail over without disrupting clients or server applications that store their data on the file server. For NFS servers that have many shares, the resource network and the number of WMI calls required fail over a volume containing a large number of NFS shares are reduced. This improvement brings consistency between the cluster resource model for the Windows NFS and SMB protocol servers and simplifies administration. Improvements make it easy for administrators to set up a share for multi-protocol access over both NFS and SMB.Ĭluster resource model restructure. New UI support and task-based Windows PowerShell cmdlets for configuring identity mapping, which allows administrators to quickly configure an identity mapping source, and then create individual mapped identities for users. A new centralized UI-based management console simplifies configuration and management of SMB and NFS shares, quotas, file screens and classification, in addition to managing clustered file servers.
The cmdlet names are consistent with other Windows PowerShell cmdlets (using verbs such as "Get" and "Set"), making it easier for users familiar with Windows PowerShell to learn to use new cmdlets. The availability of built-in NFS cmdlets makes it easier to automate various operations.
