Managing Shares
The page describes how to:
Add and Modify Shares
Change Share Information
Enable NFS Secured Access
Change Access Permissions
Make a Share an Active Folder
Adding and Modifying Shares
1. From the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d Console, click Shares.
2. To add a new Share, click Add a Share. Click Create. To modify an existing Share, click to expand the Share.
Changing Share Information
1. Type a name or modify the existing name for the Share. All Shares must have a name. Names cannot exceed 32 characters.
2. Choose whether to enable content search and media sharing. When Media sharing is enabled, the media server scans this Share for any media content
and makes it available to anyone with access to your network, even if this Share is secured. If you do not want media content made available to
anyone, do not check this option. When Media sharing search is enabled, displays in the Properties for that Share.
3. To view the content of a Share, click the View Content link to open the Content Viewer.
4. Click Apply to save your changes.
Changing Access Permissions
You should enable security on your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d before changing access permissions.
1. Expand Access Permissions to change user permissions to this Share. A security icon displays in Properties indicating a secure Share. When a
secure Share is first created, Everyone has read and write access to that Share by default, which means that everyone on your network can read, write,
and delete files to and from that Share. When user Everyone has Read and Write permissions to a Share, the Share is not secure and is open to all
users.
2. Check Allow users to change file level security to allow file and folder permissions to be set through other programs, such as Windows Explorer or
Mac Finder, independent of the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d. Setting this option allows users to put additional access restrictions on individual files and
folders.
3. To limit access to this Share to a specific set of users, click the and choose one or more users from the pop-up window. If you have created
groups, you can also limit access for them in this way.
4. In the Access Permissions section, check Read, Write, or both to set access to this Share for each user. To remove a user, leave both Read and Write
unchecked for that user. If you grant Read and Write permissions to Everyone, the list of users is also cleared since all users (Everyone) has access to
this Share. If you have created groups, you can also limit access for them in this way.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
Enabling NFS Secured Access
1. To enable NFS, first click the switch on from the Protocols page.
2. On the Shares page, select a Share and expand the NFS section.
3. Click Add an NFS rule to add a Host Name for the rule. Rules are added to specify the hosts that are allowed to access Shares using NFS. Use this
table to add NFS rules to specify access for hosts. For example, *.cs.foo.com matches all hosts in the domain cs.foo.com. To export a Share to all hosts
on an IP address or local network simultaneously, specify an IP address and netmask pair as address/netmask where the netmask can be in dotted-
decimal format, or as a contiguous mask length. For example, either /255.255.252.0 or /22 will result in identical local networks.
4. When the rule is added, read access is automatically set to the Share. Select Write to allow users to write to that Share. Use and to modify
the rule priority for NFS access.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
Making a Share an Active Folder
1. You can optionally enable Active Folders on a Share to allow you to associate this Share with a specific feature that will happen automatically when files
are copied to the Share. You can only set one Active Folder option per Share.
2. Expand the Active Folder section and check Enable. Select one of the following Active Folder options and follow the link for details on configuring
each:
Email Distribution
Facebook
Flickr
Photo Resize
Torrents
YouTube
