CIFS Guest Account Invalid

Description

CIFS service cannot start.

Cause

A valid CIFS guest account is required for CIFS functionality.

Workaround

Configure the system guest account with a valid account.

 

 

CIFS Locking Inconsistency

Description

CIFS service is interrupted due to CIFS interlocking issues.

Cause

CIFS client interlocking scenarios.

Workaround

System recovers itself automatically, issuing the above event

 

when recovered.

 

 

CIFS Maximum Connections Reached

Description

Maximum number of CIFS connections per NAS controller has

 

been reached.

Cause

Each NAS controller is limited to 200 concurrent CIFS connections.

The system is in an optimal state and the number of CIFS clients accessing one of the controllers reaches the maximum. In such a scenario, consider adding NAS controllers. The system is limited to two controllers.

The system is in optimal state but the clients are significantly unbalanced between NAS controllers. In this case rebalance the clients using the NAS Manager.

The system is in degraded state (one or more NAS controllers are down) and the CIFS clients are left over on the remaining controller. In this case wait until the system returns to optimal or decrease the number of CIFS clients using the system.

Workaround If all NAS controllers are in optimal mode, the connections are divided between both of them.
