The FileShare agent enables systems to share a folder and its subfolders, making the shared folder highly available. The folder to be shared is stored on a shared disk.
Using the FileShare agent you can also do the following:
Create hidden shares for a specific share or subfolders.
Dynamically share subfolders created after the resource was brought online.
Configure and control existing shares.
The FileShare agent enables sharing folders shared outside VCS. However, you cannot add special shares (shares created by the operating system for administrative and system use) to the VCS configuration. For example, you cannot add the shares ADMIN$, print$, IPC$, and DriveLetter$ to the VCS configuration.
You can configure a file share service group using the File Share Configuration Wizard.
See the Cluster Server Administrator's Guide for instructions.
To share multiple subfolders, use the CompositeFileShare agent.
