Hi All,

For the sake of discussion and to satisfy my stupidity and/or stubborness (whatever you call it).......:-(

Is there a way to configure (setup, etc) an NFS licensed machine to be accessed of utilized by Window-based clients?

Any add-on solution or any application interface for that matter.

Best regards,

El

You'll need an NFS client for Windows. There are several out there. I think the one from Microsoft is free (it's part of the MicroSoft Services for UNIX package). There are some others out there from places like Hummingbird. I'm sure a Google of windows nfs clients will yield some results. The ones I've used work ok. They seem a little clunky to me, but if it gets you through, great.

Hi,

Well NetApp unified storage support mixed qtrees which can be access by both NFS and Windows Pcs.

Hope this will be useful from storage side!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!!
