About configuring a File Share server role

Last published : Aug 05, 2026
Points to note when configuring a File Share:
  • Make sure that the disk group and volumes for the file server shared directory are configured on shared storage (VMDg) or non-shared storage (VMNSDg).
  • When configuring a new set up, first create the disk groups and volumes on the shared storage (VMDg) or non-shared storage (VMNSDg) and then create the directory structure for the file shares.
  • For an existing configuration that has a file server with shares on the local storage, move these shares to the shared storage (VMDg) or non-shared storage (VMNSDg) using the practices recommended by Microsoft.
  • The FileShare agent is installed automatically with InfoScale Enterprise.
