A CIFS share is a shared folder tied to an FSx for ONTAP volume. It allows Windows and other SMB-compatible clients to access files on the volume over the network. CIFS shares can be managed with access controls and permissions to ensure secure and effici
A cluster peer establishes a trusted network relationship between two FSx for ONTAP file systems, allowing them to securely communicate and replicate encrypted, authenticated data. It is used for disaster recovery across clusters in different regions, pro
An export policy defines a set of access rules for NFS clients, specifying which clients or networks can access a volume and with what permissions. Each volume is tied to an export policy which enforces these rules to control client access and provide sec
An iGroup is a collection of host initiators (IQNs) that are allowed access to a LUN. When LUNs are associated with iGroups, administrators gain control over which hosts can connect to and access each LUN, enabling secure and organized access management f
A LUN is a block storage object within a volume. It provides storage for applications that require block-level access and appears as a virtual disk to the connected host. It is formatted with a file system or used as raw storage, enabling precise control
FSx for ONTAP offers SnapMirror for efficient data replication between file systems, aiding in data protection, disaster recovery, and long-term retention. To use SnapMirror, set up cluster peering and SVM peering between the source and target FSx for ONT
A snapshot creates a read-only copy of a volume or LUN at a specific time. It allows users to restore files or volumes if data is deleted, corrupted, or changed. Snapshots efficiently store only the changes made after the snapshot, making them ideal for d
A snapshot policy specifies when to create snapshots, how many to retain, and how to name them. A snapshot policy automatically creates and manages snapshots for a volume at defined intervals. The policy simplifies backup scheduling and maintains a reliab
A storage VM (SVM) peer is a relationship established between two SVMs from different FSX for ONTAP file systems, enabling the sharing of resources and data across file systems. Once activated, you will need a preview key to consume this resource. Please
A volume is a logical storage unit which provides flexible space for data files, snapshots, and block devices. The NetApp:FSxN custom resource allows you to configure and manage FSX for ONTAP volumes by specifying parameters such as volume name, size, sto
