Configuring multiprotocol access can be done through a set of simple steps. Note that this can be done starting with NFS and then switching to SMB/ CIFS, or vice versa. From My Services click on “Go to Cloud Manager”: Once you enter the Cloud Manager, you can see the working environments listed, which includes the Cloud Volumes ONTAP system as well as on-prem ONTAP systems: For this walkthrough we will create NFS volume in Cloud Volumes ONTAP deployed in Azure. Click “Add new Volume”: Provide the name and size of the volume and configure NFS export policy, specifying the network range to which the volume can be exported: In the next configuration pane, select the usage profile, disk type, and tiering policy for the volume. Next, we need to complete the SMB/ CIFS set up. Add details for the DNS primary IP, secondary IP, and Active Directory domain to join and the credentials to join the domain and click “Save”: Click on “Advanced” to add additional details like CIFS server NetBIOS name, Organizational Unit, and DNS domain: For completing the remaining configuration, we need to access System Manager. You will get a prompt stating that you will need network access to the Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance. Create a CIFS/SMB share from System Manager. Next, username mapping for Windows and UNIX usernames should be configured from the System Manager. Read article on how to Configure Multiprotocol Access
