4.1.3Macintosh Clients

The procedure for accessing a shared folder on a Mac varies, depending on whether the Mac is running OS X or an older operating system. (Macs running OS X can access the same shared CIFS folders as Windows users. Mac running older operating systems can access the same shared NFS folders as Linux users.)

OS X

To access a shared folder on a Mac running OS X:

1.From the Go menu, click “Connect to Server”.

2.In the Address text box, enter the following and click Connect: “smb://storage_system” where storage_system is the name or IP address of the storage system.

Note: You can use the storage system name only if that name is registered with a DNS server on your network.

3.In the Select a share list, select the name of the shared folder that you want to access and then click “OK”.

4.Enter the user name and password for accessing this shared folder, and then click “OK”. If the guest user has access to this shared folder, you can use guest as both the user name and password. An icon with the name of the shared folder is created on the desktop.

5.Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each shared folder that you want to access.

6.To access the shared folder, double-click the icon on the desktop.

Other Mac operating systems

For information about accessing a shared folder using NFS on a Mac running an operating system older than OS X, please refer to your Mac documentation.
