CIFS usage considerations

This chapter presents considerations that affect the use of the CIFS protocol for namespace access.

Note: HCP is an object store with multiple gateways that support various protocols. The CIFS protocol exists on HCP to support legacy applications that do not have modern HTTP REST/S3 support. The CIFS protocol on HCP is not designed to support direct end-user access.

For additional considerations that are not specific to the CIFS protocol, see General usage considerations.
