Configuring a File Share server role

Last published : Aug 05, 2026
When you configure a File Share server role, consider the following:
  • Configure the disk group and volumes for the file server shared directory on the shared storage (VMDg) or non-shared storage (VMNSDg).
  • When you configure a new setup, create the disk group and volumes on the shared storage (VMDg) or non-shared storage (VMNSDg) first, 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.
