Adding shares

All shares on a filer are added to the Data Insight configuration when you add the filer to Data Insight. You must add shares present on the filer manually if you do not select the Discover shares automatically option when adding a filer. You can either add multiple shares at once using a CSV file or select individual shares on a filer that you want to add to the Data Insight configuration.

Note:

Data Insight disables addition of shares if you do not have a valid license or if your license has expired. Also, Data Insight will not discover shares that have been added on configured file servers after the expiry of the license.

To add a share

  1. In the Console, click Settings > Filers .
  2. To add shares from a filer, do one of the following:
    • On the Filer list page, select the filer from which you want to add shares. Click Add Shares in Bulk. On the pop-up, browse to the location of the CSV file and select it. Click Upload.

      If you are adding shares in bulk for the first time, you must create a CSV file in a specific format. Download a sample CSV file to view the format.
