A DFS junction serves as a logical placeholder for data stored on a different NSS volume. Each junction points to a single target location.
To administrators, the junction appears in the file structure as a folder. However, users typically see the junction as a sub-folder and is unaware of its existence. If the target path is unavailable or if the DFS Replica service for the target’s management context is not running, users cannot access the target data. Clients that are not DFS-aware see a junction as a file that they have no rights to access.
NOTE:To access DFS, log in to UMC with your admin credentials, then click Storage Technology > DFS > Junctions.
