SAN is a Storage Area Network
topology incorporated into a physical network topology, itwhich means that storage is provided for sharing/storing data via the network (usually tcp/ip)…It is similar to NFS (Network File Share), or using the Microsoft specific Server Message Block protocol to designate a share on the server with a drive letter used – Universal Naming Convention where a shared drive is mapped to a drive letter in the form of ‘\\servername\foo’.Can you please clarify if that is what you are looking for? How to determine if a drive is mapped to the shared drive such as ‘\\servername\foo’?
Have a look at this thread here…on mapping drives and disconnecting mapped drives here. And here to check if a path is on a network here.
Edit: Thanks to zombiesheep for the clarification due to my confusion after being told by somebody else during my training for CompTIA Network+ 2009…..duh!
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Tom.
