export share=SDLIBRARY$

 

 

4- SD Agent execute following command to mount the share (example with scalability server name SSNAME1.localdomain) :

sdmount smb install SSNAME1.localdomain SDLIBRARY$ /opt/CA/DSM/sd/smb

 

This command executes following System command:

mount -t cifs //SSNAME1.localdomain/SDLIBRARY$ /opt/CA/DSM/sd/smb -o iocharset=utf8,username=anonymous%anonymous

 

When it works command “sdmount install” creates the directory /opt/CA/DSM/sd/smb which is mounted on SDLIBRARY$ share of scalability server.

 

To unmount it the command is:

sdmount smb deinstall SSNAME1.localdomain SDLIBRARY$ /opt/CA/DSM/sd/smb

 

After this command the directory /opt/CA/DSM/sd/smb is removed

 

5- To allow Linux mount command to map the share with anonymous on Windows 2016 Server, make sure that following settings are set on Windows 2016 server :

 

• Check in Local Security Policy/Security Options if "Accounts: Guest account status" is set to Enabled

 

• Permissions on SDLIBRARY$ share (on C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\DSM\SD\ASM\LIBRARY) contains :
