NetApp Creating CIFS share -Checklist

Here is a checklist to use when creating a CIFS share in NetApp

1) Check for CIFS license
2) Create an Aggregate on the node. The aggregate would be used to host the CIFS volume.
3) Create SVM and allow the CIFS protocol.

vserver create -vserver <name> -aggr <aggr_name> -rootvolume <name> -ns-switch file -nm-switch file -rootvolume-security-style  ntfs -allowed-protocols cifs 

4) DNS configuration 

vserver service dns create -vserver <name> -domain mydomain.com -name-server <x.y.z.a>

5) CIFS setup 
vserver cifs create -vserver <name>  -cifs-server <CIFS Server Name> -ou <CN=Computers> -domain <mydomain.com>
