#. Enable Unicode on Data Mover. #. Configure a storage pool
The VMAX driver requires that the Unicode is enabled on Data Mover. There is a one to one relationship between a storage pool in embedded NAS
to a storage group on the VMAX. The best way to provision
storage for file is from the Unisphere for VMAX UI rather than eNAS UI.
Go to :menuselection:`{array} > SYSTEM > FIle` and under
:menuselection:`Actions` click :menuselection:`PROVISION STORAGE FOR FILE`
.. warning:: .. note::
After enabling Unicode, you cannot disable it. If there are some When creating a new storage group you have the ability to assign a

To check the Unicode status on Data Mover, use the following VMAX eNAS File To pick up the newly created storage pool in the eNAS UI,
commands on the VMAX control station: go to :menuselection:`{Control Station} > Storage > Storage Configuration > Storage Pools`
and under :menuselection:`File Storage` click :menuselection:`Rescan Storage Systems`
or on the command line:
.. code-block:: console .. code-block:: console
server_cifs <MOVER_NAME> | head $ nas_diskmark -mark -all -discovery y -monitor y
# MOVER_NAME = <name of the Data Mover>
Check the value of I18N mode field. UNICODE mode is shown as The new storage pool should now appear in the eNAS UI
``I18N mode = UNICODE``.
To enable the Unicode for Data Mover, use the following command: #. Make sure you have the appropriate licenses
.. code-block:: console .. code-block:: console
uc_config -on -mover <MOVER_NAME> $ nas_license -l
