AIX cifs: mount Windows Server 2008 share ?
Hello,

I've been using AIX cifs to mount windows XP shares with no problems till now.
Now it's Windows Server 2008 R2 - no go:
Code:
mount -v cifs -n host1/user1/pass1 /share1 /mountpt1
There was an error connecting the share or the server.
Make sure the lsdev command shows that device nsmb0 is in
the Available state.  Also make sure that the share name,
user name and password are accurate.

Response is so instant that it's clearly not a network issue (while network admin was configuring access I saw significant timeouts while network access was closed).
Windows XP share works on the same machine.
Tried these AIX levels:
AIX 6100-02-04
AIX 6100-06-03
So I consider AIX level is not an issue either?

Where is the catch?
Any ideas?

thanks
Vilius

nfsmount.conf

NFSMOUNT.CONF(5)						File Formats Manual						  NFSMOUNT.CONF(5)

NAME

       nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts

SYNOPSIS

       Configuration file for NFS mounts that allows options to be set globally, per server or per mount point.

DESCRIPTION

       The  configuration  file  is  made  up  of multiple sections followed by variables associated with that section.  A section is defined by a
       string enclosed by [ and ] branches.  Variables are assignment statements that assign values to particular variables using the =  operator,
       as in Proto=Tcp.  Sections are broken up into three basic categories: Global options, Server options and Mount Point options.

       [ NFSMount_Global_Options ] - This statically named section defines all of the global mount options that can be applied to every NFS mount.

       [  Server  "Server_Name"  ]  -  This  section  defines  all the mount options that should be used on mounts to a particular NFS server. The
	      "Server_Name" strings needs to be surrounded by '"' and be an exact match of the server name used in the mount command.

       [ MountPoint "Mount_Point" ] - This section defines all the  mount  options  that  should  be  used  on	a  particular  mount  point.   The
	      "Mount_Point" string needs to be surrounded by '"' and be an exact match of the mount point used in the mount command.

EXAMPLES

       These are some example lines of how sections and variables are defined in the configuration file.

       [ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
	   Proto=Tcp

	      The TCP protocol will be used on every NFS mount.

       [ Server "nfsserver.foo.com" ]
	   rsize=32k
	   wsize=32k

	      A 33k (32768 bytes) block size will be used as the read and write size on all mounts to the 'nfsserver.foo.com' server.

	[ MountPoint "/export/home" ]
	   Background=True

	      All mounts to the '/export/home' export will be performed in the background (i.e. done asynchronously).
