Problem

While deploying a Universal Share in NetBackup, the SMB option is not visible. Only the NFS option is visible.

Error Message

No errors are displayed.

Cause

Insufficient permissions on the file /etc/samba/smb.conf may be the cause of this issue.

Solution

1. Login to the storage server via SSH to check the permissions on file /etc/samba/smb.conf:

# ls -l /etc/samba/smb.conf

2. Update the permissions if they are not readable to the group and other users:

# chmod 644 /etc/samba/smb.conf
