Abstract
Methods and systems for configuring a network-attached storage (NAS) unit for use with heterogeneous client computers are described. Consistent with some embodiments of the invention, a NAS management module executing on a host computer provides a graphical user interface, and a wizard-like workflow in particular, which enables an administrator to provide configuration settings that make a folder accessible to both CIFS- and NFS-based clients.
