Fixed In Version:	ibm-ceph:8-99	Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	IBM Storage Ceph now supports SMB manager module for file services SMB manager module for file services was previously available as limited release. This enhancement provides full availability for new and existing customers in production environments. The SMB protocol accesses CephFS through the Samba suite and samba-container images that are managed by Ceph. The SMB manager module provides an interface for deploying and controlling clusters of Samba services and managing SMB shares. With the SMB module, a cluster acts as a logical management unit that corresponds to one or more managed Samba services. A cluster can implement high-availability mechanisms or operate without them. With this release, the SMB manager module is enabled by default to support CephFS volumes. For more information, see SMB clusters and share management.	Story Points:	---

Description Ankush Behl 2025-03-06 13:12:34 UTC
