Cifs general

 

Cifs shares

Cifs access permission

Cifs restart

Cifs shares eng

Cifs shares –add eng /vol/cifsvol/eng

Cifs access eng full control

Cifs sessions

Cifs sessions –s

Cifs terminate –t 10

Priv set advanced

Cifs perfdc add  <domain name > <ip address>

Cifs perfdc pdc add <pdc ip address>

Cifs homedir load    #  7.0 load to registry

Cifs nbalias

Cifs testdc

Cifs domaininfo    -  also check /etc/rc file

Cifs.trace-login ON   - to trace cifs issues

 

CIFS performance

 

Cifs stats

smb_hist  -z

sysstat –c 15 2   ( 15 iterations every 2 seconds )

statit

WAFL_susp

Ifstat -a

netstat –m   -r     -i   ( can be used any one )

netdiag –v,  -sap

cifs sessions

 

cifs performance optimize

options cifs.oplocks.enable ON

options cifs.tcp.window_size 64240

options cifs.max.mpx 253

options cifs.neg_buf_size 65340  - max

    ( 32K + 260 =~ 33028 this number can also be set )

Check switches to enable forwarding mode immediately

# set spantree portfast module/port enable

options cifs.oplocks_opendelta 0

  ( if client disconnects too much after this change, change this back to 8 (default ))

 

 

 

 

Cifs homedirctory

 

1. volume snapvol is created

2. qtree is created as root of this vol => snapvol ; sec is unix

3. share is created as snaphome of this qtree as

    /vol/snapvol/home with everyone/full control

4. options cifs.home-dir /vol/snapvol/home

    Options cifs.home-dir-namestyle <blank>

5. edit /etc/cifs_homedir.cfg file and add at the end

    /vol/snapvol/home

 

CIFS troubleshooting NT4 domain

Cifs setup error : Filer’s security information differs from domain controller, CIFS could not start

Sol :

NT4 PDC/BDC : Server Management – Delete the account, recreate the account and rerun the setup.

 

NT4 PDC and BDC secure channel communication/verification

BDC c:> netdom bdc \\bdcname /query

 

 

 

CIFS troubleshooting

 

Wcc –s domain\name  -----windows – match with

                                            /etc/lclgroups.cfg file   - any

                                            changes here requires reboot

Wcc –u username   --------------unix

Cifs domaininfo  - tells dns entry

Rdfile /etc/rc   ---------  will have dns info

 

Options wafl

                                Should see unix

                                                Pcuser

 

/etc/usermap

/etc/passwd                  these two files are read at the first time

 

Cannot Ping DNS server

A.

1. Enter the host address in dns

2. Make sure that there is no deny/untrusted entry in /etc/rc file
3. Check the filer view - > Networking -> DNS entry
4. If qtree is created and shared for CIFS access, make sure that qtree settings are correct, otherwise may get access denied error

NFS error 70

     File or directory that was opened by NFS client was either removed or replaced on the NFS filer server

 

Locked file findings in NFS

Filer> priv set advanced

Filer > lock_dump –h | -f  ( h or f )

21048    0x00000687 : 0x00088720 0 : 0 1/3 :3 LOCK_ (0xfffffc000598, ……….)

 

a. 21048 is the pid of the process, check in solaris that it is running

b. take the value of 0x00000687 convert to decimal to obtain the value 

         ( in solaris $ echo 0x000006d7=D|adb)  will convert

c. to find the file

   solaris $  find .inum 1751  -print

 

 

Networking Troubleshooting

Filer>Traceroute

Filer>Ping

Filer > ifconfig for IP address related issues

Filer > routed status

Filer > routed OFF

Filer > routed ON

 

DHCP

Filer cannot have DHCP dynamic address. It is stored in /rc file as static even if DHCP is choosen.

 

 

Packet

Netstat –i

Netstat – I <interface name like ns0,e5a etc >

Netdiag –vV

Ifstat –a      - Flow control information at bottom

                     10/100/1GB flow etc purely switch based : what

                     Ever switch is set, filer takes that

 

 

Routing table of filer

Netstat –rn

Route –f      --------------  to flush

 

Port

Netstat –a     to check all open ports on filer

Netstat   ----- to see all connected connections

 

Port numbers

514 / tcp   rsh

135   tcp/udp   rpc

111  udp rpc for sun

 

Network troubleshooting

 

Cannot Ping to other subnet

1. netstat –rn should have default route addresss at top

2. do routed status  if no entry

3. Even if rc file shows default gateway address – add

    Manually

    Route  add default <ip address> 1 and check above

 

Checking steps

> rdfile /etc/rc

> ifconfig –a

>netstat –rn    ---- gateway line must be there

>routed status

>routed ON   --- if gateway is not there add manually

 

Packet Tracing on filer

1. pktt start e0 –b 1m –i 192.168.136.130

2. pktt status e0 ( should show some traces )

3. pktt dump e0 –f/mytrace.trc

4. pktt stop all

5. file is created at C$ of filer

6. make cifs connection to filer and point to \\<filer>\C$

7.get file mytrace.trc file

8. open by ethereal or packetizer
