Creating and Managing Shares
-
Provisioning a Share:
In your cloud panel, navigate to the shared file systems section. Create a new share, which is automatically set to the default share type. This simplifies setup and ensures that your share meets performance standards. -
Mounting Shares:
Endpoints:
US West 1: us-west-1.cfs.valex.cloud
Since only the NFS protocol is supported, configure your client systems to mount shares using standard NFS mount commands. The default share type is optimized for general-purpose file sharing.
Configuring Share Networks
-
Defining a Share Network:
A share network outlines the network settings (such as subnet information) that your shares will use. This helps control accessibility and ensures that shares are reachable only from specified network segments. -
Assigning Shares to Networks:
When creating or updating a share, assign it to a share network to enforce network boundaries and maintain security.
Best Practices
- Documentation:
Maintain clear records of your share networks and their associated subnets. - Access Control:
Use share networks in combination with IP authorization to limit access to trusted IP ranges. - Performance Monitoring:
Regularly review share usage and network performance to adjust configurations as needed.
