Why each option
Before establishing a CIFS share in ONTAP, an administrator must create a volume, configure an export policy, configure name mapping, and mount the volume in the Vserver namespace.
A volume must exist first because the CIFS share is a path within a volume; there is no underlying storage without it.
A share access policy (share ACL) is configured at or after share creation time, not as a prerequisite before the share exists.
An export policy must be configured and applied to the volume to control which clients can access the data, as clustered ONTAP enforces export policies for both NFS and CIFS volumes.
Name mapping must be configured to translate Windows domain user identities to UNIX user identities so that file permissions are evaluated correctly on the CIFS share.
Active Directory integration is configured once at the CIFS server level during Vserver setup and is not a discrete per-share prerequisite step called 'Active Directory routing'.
The volume must be mounted within the Vserver junction-path namespace so that its path is resolvable; without a junction point, the CIFS share path cannot be exposed to clients.
Setting a default share policy is optional post-creation configuration and is not a required step before the share can be established.
