Definition: Network computers share files, printers, and serial port resources, which can be used for unix servers and windows clients to perform tasks such as file sharing and printing.
The OceanStor 9000 supports the SMB3.0 Multichannel function. It can fully utilize the multi-core CPU and bandwidth resources in the client to greatly improve service performance and reliability. After a single connection channel fails, other channels can continue to transmit data without affecting services.
When the client adopts the SMB3.0 protocol (included in Windows 8, Windows 2012 and later versions), if there are two or more types of GE/10GE/IB network ports of the same type, or there is support for RSS (Receive-Side) Scaling a single GE/10GE/IB network port. This client will establish multiple connection channels with the OceanStor 9000.
By default, the SMB3.0 Multichannel function is enabled on the OceanStor 9000. When the client meets the appeal condition, the function automatically takes effect and improves the read and write performance of the client.
Multi-channel technology for load balancing and failover
RDMA function enables sharing to achieve higher bandwidth and lower latency, effectively reducing CPU and I/O processing load.
Normal sharing: Provides access to folders and writes to all users according to security policies.
Homedir sharing: You can only read and write permissions to the binding user. Users can only see and use the space that belongs to them (the folder name is their own user name).
