# Shared File Systems Option 2: Driver support for share servers management

For simplicity, this configuration references the same storage node as the one used for the Block Storage service.

Note

This guide describes how to configure the Shared File Systems service to use the `generic` driver with the driver handles share server mode (DHSS) enabled. This driver requires Compute service (nova), Image service (glance) and Networking service (neutron) for creating and managing share servers; and Block storage service (cinder) for creating shares. The information used for creating share servers is configured as share networks. Generic driver with DHSS enabled also requires the tenant’s private network (where the compute instances are running) to be attached to a public router.
