HP StoreOnce VSA Backup System User Guide (TC458-96025)

Managing shares on an AD domain
Now that the HP StoreOnce Backup system is part of a domain and can be managed, it is possible
to create shares and grant access permission to them for domain account users or groups. There
are two ways for users to be granted access permissions to the NAS shares on the CIFS server:
• As remote users configured through the Windows Computer Management tool: Run MMC
and install the computer management plug-in (management console). Once remote users are
configured through the windows computer management tool (which must be run through
MMC), permissions can be applied per share using the StoreOnce GUI.
• As local users with Delegated Admin permissions configured through the HP StoreOnce GUI.
These users have Admin rights to all shares created on the NAS CIFS server.
NOTE: The StoreOnce appliance only supports the Shared Folders utility within the Windows
Computer Management. Any other Windows Computer Management utilities are not supported.
1. Create a share on the Backup system to be used as a backup target by selecting NAS—Share
from the Web Management Interface and clicking Create.
2. Provide a share name and description, then select the CIFS protocol and click Create.
3. The share will start and its status will change to Online.
4. Provide a list of users who can access this share through the Windows Computer Management
tool. Select the Shared Folders—Share option to display the available shares on the StoreOnce
Backup system. In addition to the user configured shares, there will be two “default shares”
called C$ and IPC$. These shares cannot be used for backup.
