Cifs Share Does Not Exist - Dell PowerVault NX3500 Administrator's Manual

Cause
Each NAS controller is limited to 200 concurrent CIFS
connections.
Workaround If all NAS controllers are in optimal mode, the connections are
divided between both of them.

CIFS Share Does Not Exist

Description
Cause
Workaround
List the available NAS shares and verify that all shares are
displayed and nothing has changed unintentionally.
Verify that you can access the problematic share using a Windows
client:
• 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.
Client attempts to connect to an inexistent share.
• Spelling mistake on client side
• Accessing the wrong server
