To share the directory for a CIFS path using the share name 'netapp', which command is correct?

• A. cifs shares -add /vol/vol2 netapp
• B. cifs shares -add /vol/vol2/home/netapp
• C. cifs shares -add netapp vol/vol2
• D. cifs shares -add netapp /vol/vol2/home

Answer: (C)

When creating a CIFS share on NetApp 7-Mode, you specify the share name first after -add, followed by the directory path that will be shared. The share name is what Windows clients see, and the path is the directory on the volume that gets exposed. So, for a share named netapp that maps to the directory vol/vol2, the correct command is: cifs shares -add netapp vol/vol2. This uses the required order: first the share name, then the path. The other forms don’t fit because they either reverse the order (path first, then the share name) or point to/embed a different or inappropriate path (for example including the share name in the path or selecting a subdirectory that isn’t the intended shared directory).
