Create CIFS Share - Path Details

A_Campbell — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 15:15:43 GMT

I'm trying to specify Path details for 'Create CIFS Share'. It wants the details in the format of /volume/qtree, but I need to specify the qtree that was created earlier in the workflow. Here's what I have for 'Create Qtree':

Here's what I have for 'Set Quota':

Now, I need to 'Create CIFS Share' using this:

Is there a way to specify the path using the qtree that was created earlier in this workflow. The path needs to be in the form of /volume/qtree. The only way I can specify the slash is within single quotes '/'. But, I can't seem to incorporate the slash with notation qtree1.volume.name. Anyone ever run into this?

Thanks

Should be able to just use : qtree.volume.junction_path + "/" + qtree.name

There is CIFS/QTree example workflow for both 7mode an CMode in WFA look in the storage provisioning group.

Thank You,

WFA has already the workflow called "Create a clustered Data ONTAP Qtree CIFS Share",
In CIFS share command, we are passing the "volume juntion path/qtree name".

I think below screen shot will help you for more details:

Great info, that solved the problem. I'm new at this, so I wasn't used to that notation.

Thanks!
