Cifs Guest Account Invalid; Cifs Locking Inconsistency; Cifs Maximum Connections Reached - Dell PowerVault NX3500 Administrator's Manual

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