Distributed File Services (DFS) is installed automatically as part of the NSS file system. Cloud Integrated Storage supports using DFS junctions on the primary NSS volume. The primary volume can also be the target of a junction. Primary NSS volumes that contain DFS junctions or are junction targets can reside in a OES Cluster Services cluster.
DST does not support using DFS junctions on the CBV. The CBV cannot be the junction target.
Table 12-2 summarizes the supported CIS configurations for use with DFS:
