Data Collector probes by storage type

Note:

Refer to the software and hardware disclaimer supported and tested by Cohesity.

See Software and hardware disclaimer.

In the following table, each check represents a valid configuration of a probe and storage type. Note that in many arrays, the file systems can have multiple protocols--both CIFS and NFS. If an array supports both, CIFS share collection may be able to be configured for NFS mounts. Also note that Other - CIFS refers to storage that has CIFS capability, such as Hitachi Unified Storage (HUS) and EMC Isilon storage.
