A share is any volume, drive, or directory resource that is shared across a network. During failover, the target can assume or add any source shares so that they remain accessible to the end users. Automatic share failover only occurs for standard Windows file system shares. Other shares, including NFS shares, must be configured for failover through the failover scripts or created manually on the target.

In the event of a failure, the clients must remount the shares in order to access them.
