Shares are missing in Data Insight (DI) under DFS
Article ID: 100009474
Updated On:
Cause
Data Insight does not support the mapping of multiple shares from one physical filer to the one virtual namespace. If multiple physical shares are mapped to one folder target, only the last entry will be retained.
Sample mapping file content:
mynamespace, Public\Software, NYC-SVR-01, Apps
mynamespace, Public\Software, NYC-SVR-01, Tools <-- retained entry
The "\\mynamespace\Public\Software" location will contain items from the “Tools” share only.
Resolution
Each physical share must be mapped to its own namespace folder. If the namespace folders must be grouped under one container, an empty namespace folder could be used.
Sample mapping file content:
mynamespace, Public\Software\Apps, NYC-SVR-01, Apps
mynamespace, Public\Software\Tools, NYC-SVR-01, Tools
The "\\mynamespace\Public\Software" location will contain two folders, each containing items from the corresponding physical share.
Issue/Introduction
Unable to see all shares under DFS in Data Insight, after importing a CSV file containing the mapping of different physical shares, from the same filer, to the same virtual namespace.
