10.3 Giving Users a Merged View of the Shadow Volume

Users see a merged view of the data by accessing a share on the primary volume. The following user access is supported:

10.3.1 NCP

Configure file access for the NCP users on the primary NSS volume, just as you would for a single NSS volume. NCP automatically provides a merged view of the data.

10.3.2 OES CIFS

Configure file access for the CIFS users on the primary NSS volume, just as you would for a single NSS volume. CIFS automatically provides a merged view of the data.

Beginning with OES 2015 or later, Active Directory users can also access files residing in shadow volume using the merged view provided by CIFS.

10.3.3 Novell Samba with ShadowFS and FUSE

Configure file access for the Novell Samba users by configuring ShadowFS and FUSE, then create a share on the primary NSS volume. Linux Samba and the SMB/CIFS users must be enabled for Linux User Management.

For information, see Section 13.0, Using ShadowFS to Provide a Merged View for Novell Samba Users.
