Setting up CIFS

You can set up CIFS from the CIFS Set Up wizard. If the CIFS service is already running, completing the CIFS Set Up wizard stops and restarts the CIFS service.

Before you begin

•	The CIFS license must be installed on your storage system.

•	While configuring CIFS in the Active Directory domain, you must ensure the following requirements are met:

•	DNS must be enabled and configured correctly.

•	The storage system must be able to communicate with the domain controller using the fully qualified domain name (FQDN).

•	The time differences (clock skew) between the storage system time and the domain time must not be more than the skew time that is configured in Data ONTAP.

Steps

1.	From the home page, double-click the appropriate storage system.

2.	In the navigation pane, click Configuration > Protocols > CIFS.

3.	In the Configuration tab, click Setup.

4.	Type or select information as prompted by the wizard.

5.	Confirm the details and click Finish to complete the wizard.
