Configuring a DFS target

Before you can configure a DFS target you must configure all file servers which map to your DFS targets.

To set up a DFS target

  1. Log in to the Management Console.
  2. Create a .csv file containing the following information:
    • The name of the DFS server.

    • The DFS target.

    • The name of the filer that contains the share that you want to map to the DFS target.

    • The share on the filer.

    • Path under the physical share, if the DFS folder is mapped to a folder under physical share, else this value can be blank.

    For example, DFSSvr01,HQ\Sales\Test,NETAPP01,NetAppShare1,\Finance.

  3. Click the Settings tab.
  4. Click Filers, and select Import DFS Mappings.
  5. In the Add new DFS mappings dialog, browse to the location of the .csv file, and click Upload.
  6. Alternatively, open a Windows command prompt, and change to the installdir\bin directory, where installdir\bin is the installation path for Symantec Data Insight.
  7. Type the following command:
    configdb -H  <name of the .csv file>
