CIFS Client Disconnection on File Read

Description

CIFS client disconnection on file read.

Cause

Extreme CIFS workload during controller failover.

Workaround

Client needs to reconnect and open the file again.

 

 

CIFS Client General Disconnection

Description

CIFS client disconnection.

Cause

In case the system identified a general issue with the CIFS service,

 

it automatically recovers but the failure causes all users to be

 

disconnected and the above event to be triggered.

Workaround

If this issue repeats frequently, contact Dell.

 

CIFS Client Login Failure

 

 

Description

CIFS client login failure.

Cause

User supplied wrong password upon connection.

Workaround

Interactive users can retry with correct password. Applications and

 

servers might need special attention as the user/password, which is

 

usually set in a script or configuration file, has probably expired.

 

 

CIFS Connection Failure

Description

CIFS client share access denied.

Cause

The user is unknown in the Active Directory server, and the NAS

 

system mapped this user to a guest user. If the share does not allow

 

guest access, the user receives an access denied alert.

Workaround

Ensure that the user is listed in the Active Directory server the

 

NAS is using. Alternatively, you can remove the guest limitation for

 

the share. If the user can now access the share as guest, the newly

 

created files are owned by the nobody/guest user.
