How do I check the existing volumes whethe they are NAS (used for cifs or NFS)

or they are SAN (used for FC/FOE or iscsi)?

thank you for in advance.

Hi RATNATHURAI ,

You may use Sys Mgr to find out:

1. From Share path to identify which volume is in CIFS

2. From Export path find out NFS mount volume

3. From LUNs see LUN detail.

Good luck

Henry

There is no such thing as NAS or SAN volumes. It is just some presets used when volume is initially created. After creation you are free to change any parameter anyway.
