Distributed file system (DFS namespace)

Distributed file system DFS

Distributed file system (DFS) includes two technologies: DFS namespace and DFS replication. DFS namespace enables users to access shared resources on multiple computers from a single entry (a shared folder). DFS replication technology can connect folders on multiple servers through the network, providing fault-tolerant and flexible file sharing and replication technology.

Today, let's introduce the configuration and use of the DFS namespace.

By accessing the DFS namespace server on the Windows 7 client, you can directly access the shared files on the file server

1. In Server Manager, add roles

two。 Select File Service

3. Select a distributed file system

4. Complete the installation

5. Open the DFS file system

6. New Namespace

7. Enter the local server hostname

8. Select the name of the input namespace server

9. Click create to finish

10. Create a shared folder on the DFS server and the file server, and select the new folder.

11. The folder name is aaa

twelve。 The path is the dfs shared folder under this machine, make sure

13. As above, create a new folder with the name bbb.

14. The path is the weijian shared folder under the file server (you can enter a hostname and IP address)

15. You can see the files under the namespace

16. Open client authentication and access the namespace server

17. Enter a user name and password with permission

18. You can see the site ysf of the namespace server

19. When you log in to the site, you can access the namespace file aaa and the file server file bbb respectively.

In this way, it is possible for users to access shared resources located in multiple computers from one entrance, without having to visit different servers separately, thus improving work efficiency.
