Samba crashes on Solaris with Veritas Cluster
We recently transferred our Samba server to a cluster of two Sun systems running Solaris 9 with Veritas Cluster Server. We used Samba 3.0.7. Since then Samba seems to crash every 2 to 3 days, always around noon. The symptoms are that at first people who are connected lose the ability to access the shared filesystems, followed a few minutes later by nobody being able to create new connections either. Failing over the Samba service from one box to the other clears the problem up for a couple days till it recurs. Simply stopping and restarting Samba on the server where it resides does not help.
We did not have this problem at all with the old Samba server, which was running 2.2.8 on Solaris 8 with no clustering (on a single box).
We have tried downgrading the Samba version but the problem persists. We are not sure if it is an issue with Solaris 9, or with Veritas Cluster Server, or what.
I didn't find anything on this site related to running Samba on a cluster of Solaris systems. I will continue searching other sites as well, but I thought I'd post this here. Has anybody seen an issue similar to what I describe where Sambe periodically quits working?

smbstatus - report on current Samba connections
SYNOPSIS
smbstatus [ -P ] [ -b ] [ -d ] [ -L ] [ -p ] [ -S ] [ -s <configuration file> ] [ -u <username> ]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the Samba suite.
smbstatus is a very simple program to list the current Samba connections.
OPTIONS
-P If samba has been compiled with the profiling option, print only the contents of the profiling shared memory area.
-b gives brief output.
-d gives verbose output.
-L causes smbstatus to only list locks.
-p print a list of smbd(8) processes and exit. Useful for scripting.
-S causes smbstatus to only list shares.
-s <configuration file>
The default configuration file name is determined at compile time. The file specified contains the configuration details required by
the server. See smb.conf(5)
for more information.
-u <username>
selects information relevant to username only.
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 2.2 of the Samba suite.

smbd(8) and smb.conf(5)
AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of
Open Source software, available at ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
