NFS/SMB Conversation
NFS/SMB conversations are communications between:
Source
Destination
Filesystem
As conversations occur and are discovered by ProbeNAS, the metrics are captured and stored, and the NFS Conversation and SMB Conversation entities are named with an source:destination:filesystem convention. These entities can be modified like any other discovered entity, with a Name, and/or Description.
When you discover NFS or SMB conversations, all of them are displayed, and no filter criteria are applied.
The following child entities are supported for the NASProbe, by manual creation, entity management, or entity import:
Applications - NFS Conversation, SMB Conversation
Hosts - Source IP Address
Storage Arrays - Destination Ethernet Ports
Storage Controllers - Destination Ethernet Ports
I/O Modules - Destination Ethernet Ports
