Otherwise using rdfile/wrfile (or ftp for this matter) makes wonder J

Subject: Accessing a Filer Root Volume from Windows with only NFS Licensed

 

Hi,

 

we are in the process of deploying a number of Filers which will provide Storage for VMWARE. To date we have always run CIFS as our Storage has up until now served Windows client requests only. Our new Filers will be running with NFS licensed as opposed to CIFS. As I am a self confessed UNIX illiterate I will want to presist with managing these new Filers from my Windows Clients. I know that ISCSI. which will be licenced. will provide us with some CIFS features such as the ability to register the devices within AD and create CIFS shares which will be read-only. However we will still want to retain the ability to read-write the root volume and in generally manage these devices as we have done until now. I assume to achieve this I will need to install NFS Client software. Does anyone have an recommendations on such client software or any other observations that may be of use to us as we step beyond our familiar boundaries?
