We typically present file services using a host-side NFS or SMB service in a physical or virtual cluster; we have various best practices depending on what's needed. In 99% of use cases, the days of needing native file services running on a storage array for inbuilt HA, stability or resiliency are past us which is why not many "newer" storage solutions typically offer native file services. Host side file presentation has come a long way since the early-to-mid 2000's!</P><P></P><P>HTH</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 21 Feb 2016 15:11:16 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/array-setup-and-networking/does-nimble-supports-nfs/m-p/6983416#M804 Nick_Dyer 2016-02-21T15:11:16Z
